BACKGROUND Epilepsy causes when the repeated seizure occurs in the brain. Electroencephalogram (EEG) test provides valuable information about the brain functions and can be useful to detect brain disorder, especially for epilepsy. In this study, application for an automated seizure detection model has been introduced successfully. MATERIALS AND METHODS The EEG signals are decomposed into sub-...

The electroencephalogram (EEG) signal plays an important role in the detection of epilepsy. The EEG recordings of the ambulatory recording systems generate very lengthy data and the detection of the epileptic activity requires a timeconsuming analysis of the entire length of the EEG data by an expert. The aim of this work is to develop a new method for automatic detection of EEG patterns using ...

BACKGROUND Genetic rat models for childhood absence epilepsy have become instrumental in developing theories on the origin of absence epilepsy, the evaluation of new and experimental treatments, as well as in developing new methods for automatic seizure detection, prediction, and/or interference of seizures. METHOD Various methods for automated off and on-line analyses of ECoG in rodent model...

Electroencephalography (EEG) data, which provides information about the electrical activity of brain, are widely used in diagnosis neurological diseases, EEG signals also provide important detection epilepsy, is one diseases affecting approximately 1% world’s population. In this study, it was aimed to detect epileptic seizure before by using signals. For purpose, after preprocessing steps were ...

The aim of this retrospective study is to describe changes of seizure frequency in epilepsy patients who participated in the Andrews/Reiter behavioral intervention for epilepsy. For this uncontrolled retrospective study, data were extracted from patients' medical journals. Intention-to-treat-analyses were restricted to patients with sufficient documentation supporting a diagnosis of probable or...

objective to determine the role of ketogenic diet in the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children. materials & methods sixty six consecutive children (1-16 years old) with intractable epilepsy whose seizure were not neurodegenerative nor febrile in origin were recruited. they received the ketogenic diet and we evaluated its effect on seizure frequency for 3 months. all these children had m...

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic diseases around the world and more significantly in Iran (0.4-1 % worldwide and 5% in Iran). Almost one-third of these patients suffer from treatment-resistant epilepsy, which reduces their quality of life by recurring epileptic onsets. There are different approaches for the treatment of both treatment-resistant and treatment-nonresistant epilepsy, ...

Purpose: Oxidative stress has recently emerged as a possible mechanism in pathogenesis of epilepsy. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a strong endogenous antioxidant that protects cells from lipid oxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, however, the impact of CoQ10 on seizure characteristics in epileptic patients is not clear. Methods: The current study enrolled patients with the epilept...

OBJECTIVES To study the outcome of disconnective epilepsy surgery for intractable hemispheric and sub-hemispheric pediatric epilepsy. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the epilepsy surgery database was done in all children (age <18 years) who underwent a peri-insular hemispherotomy (PIH) or a peri-insular posterior quadrantectomy (PIPQ) from April 2000 to March 2011. All patients underwent ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of demographic and clinical characteristics on temporal changes in seizure control and frequency in medically treated epilepsy patients to guide treatment modalities. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the association between clinical and demographic characteristics and seizure frequency in 1329 epilepsy patients who were followed...
