Nearly one-third of patients with epilepsy continue to have seizures despite optimal medication management. Systems employed to detect seizures may have the potential to improve outcomes in these patients by allowing more tailored therapies and might, additionally, have a role in accident and SUDEP prevention. Automated seizure detection and prediction require algorithms which employ feature co...

iintroduction: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) modulates the excitability of cortical neural networks. the effect of rtms on excitability of cortical networks depends on its frequency. according to the previous reports, a distinction is made between low (<1hz) and high frequencies of rtms. low frequencies of rtms inhibit seizure but high frequencies increase it. in the curre...

epilepsy is one of the most prevalent serious neurologic conditions, affect 1 % of the population worldwide. people with epilepsy may feel it&apos;s safe to drive when their seizures seem to be under control, but patients with epilepsy were seven times more likely to have a driving accident leading to emergency room care than those without epilepsy. people with seizures had 2.3 times the rate o...

BACKGROUND Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals play a critical role in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Multichannel EEGs contain more information than do single-channel EEGs. Automatic detection algorithms for spikes or seizures have traditionally been implemented on single-channel EEG, and algorithms f...

background: the main purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of treating helicobacter pylori (hp) infection on seizure frequency in patients with refractory epilepsy. methods: a small sample of adult patients above 18 years of age with a diagnosis of refractory epilepsy was studied at the outpatient epilepsy clinic at shiraz university of medical sciences, from january 2009 thr...

Catamenial epilepsy refers to a seizure pattern that coincides with the menstrual period. Patients catamenial often leads intractable and may have an adverse impact on quality of life. Several medications are therapeutic options, however, there is uncertainty regarding best treatment, these fail control seizure. This makes categorized as pharmaco-resistant epilepsy. paper reported case perimens...

Abstract Purpose of Review Stroke is the most common cause seizures and epilepsy in older adults. This educational paper aims to give an update on current clinical aspects diagnosis treatment poststroke epilepsy. Recent Findings Regarding epileptic related stroke, it important distinguish between acute symptomatic unprovoked as they differ their risk for seizure recurrence. In fact, after a sin...

Epilepsy is common neurological diseases, affecting about 0.6-0.8 % of world population. Epileptic patients suffer from chronic unprovoked seizures, which can result in broad spectrum of debilitating medical and social consequences. Since seizures, in general, occur infrequently and are unpredictable, automated seizure detection systems are recommended to screen for seizures during long-term el...

Epilepsy causes repeated seizures in an individual's life, which transient irregularities the brain's electrical activity. It results different physical symptoms that are abnormal. Various antiepileptic drugs fail to minimize patient seizures. The electroencephalogram (EEG) signal recordings provide us with time-series data set for epileptic seizure detection and analysis. These signals highly ...
