objective febrile seizure is the most common seizure disorder in children. its pathophysiology is not fully understood yet; however, some risk factors have been cited for it. iron is one of these influential elements and is involved in the metabolism of some neurotransmitters which are reduced in irondeficiency anemia and also increases the sensitivity of neural cells during a febrile episode. ...

Automated methods of neonatal EEG seizure detection attempt to highlight the evolving, stereotypical, pseudo-periodic, nature of EEG seizure while rejecting the nonstationary, modulated, coloured stochastic background in the presence of various EEG artefacts. An important aspect of neonatal seizure detection is, therefore, the accurate representation and detection of pseudo-periodicity in the n...

objective to evaluate the serum zinc level of the patients with simple febrile seizure and compare them with febrile children without seizure. materials & methods this prospective case - control study was performed on 60 patients aged 6 months to 6 years from apr. 2009 to jan.2010 in ghaem, imam reza and dr. sheikh hospitals in mashhad. the serum zinc level was assessed and compared between the...

objective: to determine the relationship between serum glutathione peroxidase and febrile seizure. materials & methods:   in this case-control study, 43 children with simple febrile seizure (case group) were compared with 43 febrile children without seizure (control group) in terms of serum glutathione peroxidase level. serum glutathione peroxidase levels were measured by elisa method. the resu...

we propose a novel approach for detecting precursors to epileptic seizures in intracranial electroencephalograms (ieeg), which is based on the analysis of system dynamics. in the proposed scheme, the largest lyapunov exponent of the discrete wavelet packet transform (dwpt) of the segmented eeg signals is considered as the discriminating features. such features are processed by a support vector ...
