Case histories of 900 patients suffering from cerebrovascular diseases were analyzed. In 25 of them (2.8%) the disease got complicated with epileptic seizures. In 142 albino rats over 2 years of the age, both "sensitive" and "insensitive" to acoustic stimuli experimental atherosclerosis was induced
OBJECTIVE
The outcome of patients with occlusion by cervical dissection (OCD) is considered to be better than of those with atherosclerotic occlusion (ATO) of cervical arteries. The present observational retrospective study investigates whether there are also differences in the occurrence of
We recently proposed that the maturation of a new epileptic focus (epileptogenesis) may explain late seizure recurrences, starting months to years after resective epilepsy surgery. We explore here the hypothesis that inherent transcriptomic changes may distinguish such "late relapsers." An in-depth
Objective: To define the association between late-onset epilepsy (LOE) and 25-year change in cognitive performance.
Methods: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC)
Albino rats fed an atherogenic diet for 3 months developed a marked depression of the anti-coagulation system of blood. The acoustic and sensomotor cortex showed dystrophic changes in the cortical structures, as well as signs of the reparative nature. Sound stimulation in the presence of
Association Between Midlife Risk Factors and Late-Onset Epilepsy: Results From the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study Johnson EL, Krauss GL, Lee AK, Schneider ALC, Dearborn JL, Kucharska-Newton AM, Huang J, Alonso A, Gottesman RF. JAMA Neurol. 2018 Jul 23 [Epub ahead of print] Progeria, a rare genetic disorder, is characterized by severe growth failure, premature aging, and very early atherosclerosis with coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. There has been no detailed description of progressive cerebrovascular changes in progeria or any attempted neurologic
Epileptic patients receiving medications such as phenytoin or phenobarbital have been noted to have an exceedingly low incidence of myocardial infarction, but children treated with carbamazepine have shown alteration of their serum lipid profile that could predispose them to atherosclerosis. This
Despite adequate diagnostic evaluation and prolonged follow-up, the causes of epilepsy in the elderly patient frequently remain unknown. Some of these may be of occult, degenerative or vascular central nervous system disease origin--entities which are often difficult to incriminate specifically.
BACKGROUND
We aimed to demonstrate the relationship between the valproate (VPA) treatment versus lipid and serum free fatty acids (FFAs) profiles to be the potential atherosclerosis risk factor in epileptic patients.
METHODS
Fasting blood samples were taken from 21 adult VPA-treated patients and 21
Dom João VI's death occurred in adverse political conditions that led to the regicide hypothesis. The main aim of this paper is to mention life style and conditions of the death of the king by means of narrative review based on primary and secondary sources. Dom João VI died in the way of
A 6-year-old, obese, spayed female Doberman pinscher dog was presented for clinical examination with a 1-day history of repeated seizures and a long-term history of periodic bouts of ataxia, circling, and head tilt. The seizures were controlled with phenobarbital, but the dog died 2 days after
In a group of 1621 patients with vascular brain lesions (849 males, 772 females) the authors found seizures in 108 cases (56 males, 52 females): in 26 cases of subarachnoid haemorrhage (aneurysms), 6 cerebral haemorrhages, 24 cerebral arterial thromboses, 18 atherosclerosis of brain vessels, 13
OBJECTIVE
This study was carried out to compare the carotid Intimal Media Thickness (IMT), and endothelial function using brachial flow mediated dilatation (FMD), in Epileptic children (6-12 years) on phenytoin (PHT) or carbamazepine (CBZ) monotherapy for ≥18 months with a control group of
