PURPOSE To describe the clinical and electroencephalographic features of a child diagnosed as having atypical benign partial epilepsy (ABPE) who suffered from frequent lapses of postural tone in the right lower limb that were considered to represent a focal epileptic negative myoclonus (ENM). MATERIAL AND METHODS Electrophysiological evaluation included four serial waking and two sleep EEGs. ...

Single unit activity in primary spindle afferent nerve fibres from finger and foot flexors was recorded with tungsten microelectrodes inserted into the median and peroneal nerves of healthy subjects. During voluntary fast alternating finger and foot movements, simulating the tremor of Parkinsonism, two types of discharges were seen in the Ia afferent fibres: (1) stretch responses occurring duri...

A National Grid funded research project at Southampton has investigated possible methodologies for data acquisition, transmission and processing that will facilitate on-line continuous monitoring of partial discharges in high voltage polymeric cable systems. A method that only uses passive components at the measuring points has been developed and is outlined in this paper. More recent work, fun...
