Seizure threshold in electroconvulsive therapy: I. Initial seizure threshold.
We measured initial seizure threshold by means of a structured stimulus dosage titration procedure in a clinical sample of 111 depressed patients undergoing brief-pulse, constant-current electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Initial seizure threshold was approximately 60 millicoumbs (mc) (10 Joules) on average, but varied widely (6-fold) across patients. Initial seizure threshold was predicted by fo...

متن کاملPsychopathology and seizure threshold.
Commentary This expertly designed, conducted, and analyzed study adds to prior studies that have examined the bidirectional association between psychopathology and epilepsy. Adelöw et al. (1) recently provided robust prospective data in a population-based case-control study using the Stockholm Epilepsy Register that confirmed this relationship in individuals hospitalized for a wide range of psy...
متن کاملHippocampal melatonin receptors modulate seizure threshold.
PURPOSE The pineal hormone melatonin has been shown to enhance hippocampal excitability. We therefore investigated whether inactivation of hippocampal melatonin receptors affects behavioral seizures. METHODS Intrahippocampal infusions were performed in rats to study the effect of different melatonin receptor antagonists on behavioral activity, EEG, and seizure susceptibility. Experiments were...
متن کاملWhich Threshold to Detect Hypoglycemia?
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed that the improvement of glycemic control by intensive insulin therapy resulted in a decrease in the risk of late diabetic complications. However, this effect was associated with an increase (by a factor of 3) in the risk of severe hypoglycemia (1). This explains the interest in the development of a hypoglycemic alarm that uses continuou...
