Urine surveillance of patients is a universal procedure in drug treatment programs for monitoring frequency and type of illicit drug use. The method is also being increasingly utilized by employers to screen employees for drug use. The presence of a prescribed substance in a subject's urine is
BACKGROUND
James and Lange proposed that emotions are the perception of physiological reactions. Two-level theories of emotion extend this model to suggest that cognitive interpretations of physiological changes shape self-reported emotions. Correspondingly false physiological feedback of evoked or
Because signs of nocturnal seizures can overlap with sleep respiratory events, clinicians can have difficulty distinguishing abnormal events related to sleep disorders from epileptic seizures. We describe the case of a 3-year-old child presenting with ictal electroencephalographic (EEG) activity
A 34-year-old right-handed female presented to the emergency department with a worsening headache, neck stiffness, intermittent abnormal sensation, and right arm weakness. Shortly after arrival, she had a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. A noncontrast head computed tomography scan revealed a
False face recognition rates are sometimes higher when faces are learned while under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol myopia theory (AMT) proposes that acute alcohol intoxication during face learning causes people to attend to only the most salient features of a face, impairing the encoding of less
The symptomatology of focal epileptic seizures depends on the brain region involved in the epileptic discharge. We report a case in which ictal symptomatology was misinterpreted to be a spinal disease, leading to MRT, CT and X-ray of the lumbar region, which revealed normal results. The ictal
Patients with bilateral hippocampal atrophy (BHA) in a subgroup suffering from mesial temporal lobe epilepsy represent a therapeutic challenge. We achieved successful surgical treatment in a case with BHA and false lateralized ictal onset on video-scalp electroencephalogram (EEG). A 27-year-old male
Patients are not able to call for help during a generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizure. Our objective was to develop a robust generic algorithm for automatic detection of tonic-clonic seizures, based on surface electromyography (sEMG) signals suitable for a portable device. Twenty-two seizures
In this study, we examined cognitive function during experimental pain induced by an ischemic upper-arm tourniquet. During pain and control conditions, individuals performed a memory search task and an oddball task. Reaction time, errors, and event-related potentials in response to task stimuli were
We present only the second reported case in the literature of a neuroenteric cyst involving the third cranial nerve. Our case is highlighted by the initial presentation of an isolated anisocoria, initially believed to represent an Adie's tonic pupil as interpreted by pharmacologic testing.
OBJECTIVE
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is associated with generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) with most deaths occurring during sleep. Seizure detection devices have been suggested as a SUDEP prevention strategy. EMG-based GTCS detection can take advantage of the GTCS
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the diffusion abnormalities in the brain of children with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) with generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) by using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI).
METHODS
Twenty-one IGE children with GTCS and 16 controls were recruited. DKI was performed
OBJECTIVE
To determine the accuracy of automated detection of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) using a wearable surface EMG device.
METHODS
We prospectively tested the technical performance and diagnostic accuracy of real-time seizure detection using a wearable surface EMG device. The
We have tested our hypothesis suggesting (i) that for the reliable determination and counting of muscle spindles (Msp) at the light microscopy level in extraocular muscles (EOM), analysis of the spindle specific myosin heavy chain (MyHC) immunoreactivity of intrafusal fibers, especially after
BACKGROUND
The prevalent use of African traditional medicine by the general public has been reported. With commercialisation and marketing, some of the herbal medicines (HMs) used are readily available over the counter, most of them promoted as immune boosters. These commercial HMs have not been
