objective: in the present work, the effects of different fractions of coriandrum sativum (c. sativum), on pentylenetetrazole (ptz)-induced seizures and brain tissues oxidative damage were investigated in rats. materials and methods: the rats were divided into the following groups: (1) vehicle, (2) ptz (90 mg/kg), (3) water fraction (wf) of c. sativum (25 and 100 mg/kg), (4) n-butanol fraction (...

Objectives: The greater tuberosity notch (GTN) is an uncommonly reported radiographic finding which has been associated with articular sided partial rotator cuff tears (RCTs) in throwing athletes. This yet to be evaluated patients degenerative tears. purpose of this study assess the GTN measurement along five other previously described indicators for RTCs. Methods: After obtaining IRB approval,...

Timely detection of seizures is crucial to implement optimal interventions, and may help reduce the risk sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) patients with generalized tonic-clonic (GTCSs). While video-based automated seizure systems be able provide alarms both in-hospital at-home settings, earlier studies have primarily employed hand-designed features for such a task. In contrast, deep ...

PURPOSE To determine efficacy and safety of photic stimulation (PS) during electroencephalography (EEG) in a large group of adult and paediatric patients. METHODS A prospective multicentre National Service Evaluation was performed organised by the joint audit committee of the two UK professional organisations (Association of Neurophysiological Scientists and British Society for Clinical Neuro...

BACKGROUND Epileptic seizures (ES) lead to alterations in the blood laboratory values and reflect changes in different organ systems. Here, we review the diagnostic and prognostic value of various blood laboratory values within the context of epilepsy. METHODS Narrative review and literature search on PubMed using the term, "seizure" and various laboratory values. RESULTS Laboratory markers...

Background: Epilepsy surgery has become a successful treatment option for patients with drug-resistant epilepsies. Objectives: This study aimed to assess temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery outcome and its association with epilepsy duration, the presence of pre-surgical generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS), and brain MRI findings. Materials & Methods: This retrospective study was perfo...

PURPOSE Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a common, well-defined epileptic syndrome. This study aims to examine the clinical and EEG features of probands with JME and to identify the incidence of different types of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) and IGE trait in first-degree relatives. METHODS Clinical and EEG data were collected from 132 first-degree relatives and 31 probands wi...

Human adenovirus of strains subgenus F (AdV F) are the most common strains detected in acute gastroenteritis cases in developing countries. Subgenus F is represented by AdV serotype 40 (AdV-40) and AdV-41. Most of the reports have described the predominance of AdV-41 in acute gastroenteritis cases. To gain insight into the epidemiology and genetic variation of AdV-41 strains, we analyzed 1,053 ...

AIM The aim of this report is to provide initial evidence that add-on treatment with perampanel might be highly effective in progressive myoclonic epilepsy such as Lafora disease. CASE REPORT We report on a 21-year-old woman suffering from persistent myoclonus and generalized tonic-clonic seizures for more than seven years. Additionally, ataxia, a disturbance in speech and gait, as well as a ...
