background epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease with the prevalence of around one percent. despite the introductions of several anti-epileptic drugs, around 1/3 of epileptic patients are resistant to the anti-epileptic medications. objectives considering the evidence regarding the anti-oxidant action of vitamin e and its beneficiary effect in the treatment of epilepsy, we investigated the...

introduction: kainic acid (ka) induces neuropathological changes in specific regions of the mouse hippocampus comparable to changes seen in patients with chronic temporal lobe epilepsy (tle). according to different studies, the expression of a number of genes are altered in the adult rat hippocampus after status epilepticus (se) induced by ka. this study aimed to quantitatively evaluate changes...

background: this study compares the clinical characteristics of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (mtle-hs) with those who have temporal lobe epilepsy (tle) due to other etiologies.   methods : in this retrospective study all patients with a clinical diagnosis of tle were recruited in a referral outpatient epilepsy clinic at shiraz university of medical scie...

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of different clinical factors on spiking during sleep and wakefulness in temporal lobe epilepsy. The study included 38 temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients who underwent long-term electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring. In addition to traditional sleep scoring, waking was subdivided into eyes opened (WEO) and eyes closed (WEC) states. The ...

SUMMARY Cystic parenchymal lesions may pose an important diagnostic challenge, particularly when encountered in unexpected locations. Dilated perivascular spaces, which may mimic cystic neoplasms, are known to occur in the inferior basal ganglia and mesencephalothalamic regions; a focal preference within the subcortical white matter has not been reported. This series describes 15 cases of patie...

recently a new structure called groove gap waveguide (GGW) is ‎introduced to implement low loss microwave component devices ‎especially for millimeter wave applications. This paper presents a ‎new type of H-plane horn antenna making use of this new technology ‎in which backward radiation is significantly suppressed by ‎introducing a high impedance surface at the antenna aperture. The ‎high impe...
