The MnSOD Ala16Val single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has shown to be associated to inflammatory pathways and many metabolic disorders, such as obesity and dyslipidemia. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an emergent problem among patients with epilepsy. However, little is known about interaction
OBJECTIVE
Post-stroke seizures in Thailand have not been studied. Thus, the authors' main objective was to assess the prevalence of post-stroke seizures and the secondary objective was to determine the factors associated with post-stroke seizures and mortality after stroke.
METHODS
This was a
OBJECTIVE
Despite the common occurrence of early seizures (ES) after stroke, the relationship between risk factors and this complication of stroke is not well established. In this study we have examined the relationship between clinical measures on admission and ES after stroke.
METHODS
We included
Oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL) is a rare, X-linked disorder characterized by congenital cataracts, neonatal or infantile hypotonia, seizures, cognitive impairment, and renal tubular dysfunction. In this article, we report two maternal cousins with OCRL with a hemizygous p.Ala788Asp
BACKGROUND
Several progeroid disorders presenting a specific "old-man" appearance since birth or childhood have been described. Here, five patients with a history of severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation and pseudohydrocephaloid cranium noted after birth that were suggestive of
Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) is a rare disorder that refers to episodic body image distortions, sometimes associated with altered perception of external space and time. AIWS is mainly associated with viral disease in children as well as migraines and epileptic seizures in adults. Its
Ketogenic diets (KD) have been used globally in epilepsy management. Similarly, supplementation of diets with magnesium has been associated with disease prevention and improvement. However, the effect of magnesium (Mg) supplementation in conjunction with KD on epilepsy has not yet been Metabolic myopathies due to disorders of lipid metabolism are a heterogeneous group of diseases. Newborns may present with hypotonia and convulsions, while progressive proximal muscle weakness or recurrent episodes of muscle weakness accompanied by rhabdomyolysis/myoglobinuria may be seen in older

OBJECTIVE
To describe the demographic characteristics of patients with spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) in our population and to compare the endovascular and surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective study of 462 patients who were admitted to the
In February 2011, the Food and Drug Administration informed that prescription of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drugs may cause low serum magnesium levels if taken for prolonged periods of time. We present an ex-smoker, 76-year-old man, with high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and Barrett's

Evaluation of biochemical derangements related to metabolic syndrome in epileptic patients on treatment with Valproic acid.
METHODS
This study consisted of two groups of 42 patients. Group I - Newly diagnosed patients with epileptic seizures untreated with any Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs).
A 43-year-old woman with an 8-year history of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia presented with amenorrhea and convulsion. Her MRI scan revealed a 3.5-cm T2-hyperintense pituitary macroadenoma with suprasellar extension to the frontal lobe and bilateral cavernous sinus invasion. Her serum
BACKGROUND
Previous studies on elderly epilepsy included only patients with new-onset disease, but there are many patients who developed epilepsy earlier and aged.
OBJECTIVE
We compared the characteristics of new-onset and persistence epilepsy in the elderly.
METHODS
We performed a 10-year
BACKGROUND
The aim of the study was to answer the question, whether living in urban or suburban areas has an impact on disease course and outcome of stroke patients.
