Termination of reciprocating tachycardia by atrial stimulation.
Recurrent tachyeardia in a 10-year-old child with acute rheumatic carditis was interpreted as being produced by a reciprocating (circus) mechanism involving either the normal atrioventricular pathway or the anomalous pathway of the Wolff-ParkinsonWhite syndrome. The tachycardia could be stopped by appropriately timed, electrically induced, atrial premature systoles, which apparently interrupted...
متن کاملAcute seizure suppression by transcranial direct current stimulation in rats
OBJECTIVE Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a focal neuromodulation technique that suppresses cortical excitability by low-amplitude constant electrical current, and may have an antiepileptic effect. Yet, tDCS has not been tested in status epilepticus (SE). Furthermore, a combined tDCS and pharmacotherapy antiseizure approach is unexplored. We therefore examined in the ...
متن کاملSeizure-related automatic locomotion triggered by intracerebral electrical stimulation.
We describe the case of an eight-year-old boy, who underwent a video-stereo EEG (SEEG) investigation for the presurgical assessment of drug-resistant epilepsy, related to a right fronto-lateral cortical dysplasia and who became seizure-free after epilepsy surgery. The unexpected finding of the investigations was that intracerebral, high frequency (50 Hz) electrical stimulation (HFS) triggered t...
متن کاملReduction of pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure activity in awake rats by seizure-triggered trigeminal nerve stimulation.
Stimulation of the vagus nerve has become an effective method for desynchronizing the highly coherent neural activity typically associated with epileptic seizures. This technique has been used in several animal models of seizures as well as in humans suffering from epilepsy. However, application of this technique has been limited to unilateral stimulation of the vagus nerve, typically delivered...
متن کاملReport of seizure induced by continuous theta burst stimulation.
To the Editor: We report the first-ever seizure induced by continuous theta burst (cTBS) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The subject was a 33-year-old man, healthy control without any risk factors for epilepsy. He was not taking any medications. Two days before the event, the subject had flown transAtlantic from London to Boston, and his sleep pattern may have still been altered, altho...
