Sir, We read with great interest the letter of McCorry and Crowley concerning an attack of transient global amnesia (TGA) considered secondary to herpes simplex viral encephalitis. Some features of the reported attack are unusual. The patient was a relatively young person: 39 years compared with an average age of 61 with TGA. At the beginning the patient suddenly became ‘distressed’; he realize...

We describe the case of a 79-year-old patient referred for suspected transient global amnesia, after an episode of anterograde amnesia which lasted 90 min. An EEG, performed after the episode, showed bilateral temporal electrographic seizures, orienting the diagnosis toward a transient epileptic amnesia. Transient epileptic amnesia is defined by temporal lobe epilepsy characterized by recurrent...

In this longitudinal study multichannel MEG was used to localize and to quantify focal pathological spontaneous neuromagnetic activity in six patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and two patients with transient global amnesia (TGA). Slow (2-6 Hz) and beta (14-30 Hz) activity were monitored up to 10 weeks. Results were compared with normative data, and changes over time were statistica...

facts technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. statcom is oneof the most important facts devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper statcom is used...

We show how the method of pseudo-transient continuation can be applied to improve the robustness of the Newton iteration within a nonlinear transient elasticity simulation. Pseudotransient continuation improves efficiency and robustness of the transient analysis by enabling larger time steps than possible with a Newton iteration. We illustrate the algorithm by reporting on a simulation of a buc...

decline curve analysis has some advantages over transient well test analysis in which it is not required to shut-in the well and also wellbore storage effects do not exist. few studies have been done on decline curve analysis of naturally fractured reservoirs but there are even some limitations with available models. on the other hand well test could be expensive and in some operational conditi...
