PURPOSE Although most neuroscientists and physicians would argue against Cartesian dualism, Descartes's version of the psyche/soma divide, which has been controversial since he proposed it in the seventeenth century, continues to haunt contemporary neurological diagnoses through terms such as functional, organic, and psychogenic. Drawing on my own experiences as a person with medically unexplai...

Le syndrome de Sweet (SS) ou dermatose aiguë fébrile neutrophilique est la dermatose neutrophilique la plus fréquente. Il est caractérisé par une fièvre, une éruption de plaques érythémateuses, surélevées et douloureuses, un syndrome inflammatoire et un infiltrat dermique massif constitué essentiellement de PNN. Il est souvent idiopathique, mais peut parfois s'associer à diverses affections not...

We present in this study a novel approach to predicting EEG epileptic seizures: we accurately model and predict non-ictal cortical activity and use prediction errors as parameters that significantly distinguish ictal from non-ictal activity. We suppress seizure-related activity by modeling EEG signal acquisition as a cocktail party problem and obtaining seizure-related activity using Independen...

background: serum prolactin level has been used as an alternative determinant to help differentiate epileptic from non-epileptic seizures. we aimed to analyze the association between serum prolactin concentration and epileptic seizure versus febrile seizure as well as seizure duration, single versus multiple seizure attacks and time lapse between seizure onset and blood sampling.   methods: sev...

Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a disorder in which electrical cardiac ventricular repolarization is impaired. It results in an increased risk of an irregular heartbeat which can result in palpitations, fainting, drowning, or sudden death. Long QT Syndrome may present as tonic-clonic seizure or a seizure-like disorder. By taking a superficial electrocardiogram (ECG) and proper diagnosis,...

febrile convulsion (fc) is the most common seizure disorder in young children. different predisposing factors have been suggested to enhance the susceptibility to febrile seizure and its recurrence. the main objective of this study was to identify the adverse effect of electrolytes disturbance in fc and its recur-rence. the medical records of 175 children with convulsive disorders were reviewed...
