This was a hospital-based cohort study aiming at determining the occurrence rate of post-stroke seizures and the associated risk factors. From 27 July 1996 to 16 June 1998, the first 1000 consecutive patients in the acute stroke registry were retrospectively reviewed for one year after acute stroke
Traditional Chinese medicine has been used to treat disease in China for more than five thousand years. Over the last few decades it has been used increasingly in other countries as well. As its use has spread, interest in the adverse effects of traditional Chinese medicine, including epilepsy and
This study investigates the incidence, recurrence, and risk factors of febrile seizures in southern Chinese children. A retrospective study of a 5-year period (March 1998 through February 2003) was conducted for all children admitted with first febrile seizure to a university teaching hospital of
BACKGROUND
This preliminary study examined the initial seizure threshold for bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in Chinese and the correlates of this seizure threshold.
METHODS
Fifty-four patients underwent stimulus dose titration in a standardized protocol.
RESULTS
The mean initial seizure
OBJECTIVE
Debates continue whether dose-titration, formula-based or fixed-dosage method should be used during ECT. Regardless of the dosing method used, the range and the determinants of seizure threshold in different ethnic groups are useful clinical information.
METHODS
Seizure threshold was
BACKGROUND
Seizures are poorly controlled in many people with epilepsy, despite current antiepileptic treatments. Some turn to alternative or complementary therapy to treat their condition and the use of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs (TCMH) is increasingly popular. However, it remains unclear
BACKGROUND
Hashimoto's encephalopathy is a poorly understood syndrome consisting of heterogeneous neurological symptoms and high serum antithyroid antibody titers, typically responding to steroids. More clinical series studies are required to characterize the clinical, laboratory and imaging
We retrospectively studied 1200 hospitalized acute strokes of all etiologies between July 1990 and August 1992. Ninety-six % of all strokes underwent computed tomography of the head. Fifty-eight percent of the 1200 strokes were brain infarction, 32% brain hemorrhage, 6% subarachnoid hemorrhage and
Smoking has a negative effect on most diseases, yet it is under-investigated in people with epilepsy; thus its role is not clear in the general population with epilepsy. We performed a retrospective pilot study on males with epilepsy to determine the smoking rate and its relationship with seizure
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, specifically the traditional herbal formulation Bu-yang-huan-wu-tang, for treating epilepsy stemming from cerebrovascular dysfunction.
METHODS
Three adult patients with epilepsy refractory to standard antiepileptic medications
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the proportion of Chinese patients with intractable seizures and the risk factors leading to refractory epilepsy.
METHODS
Consecutive patients over 14 years of age attending a Neurology clinic were evaluated. Patients with epilepsy were classified into two groups according
Cerebral sparganosis is a severe parasitic infection caused by the larvae of Spirometra mansoni. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 26 patients with cerebral sparganosis diagnosed in our center and reviewed the literature on cerebral sparganosis in mainland China. Among our 26
BACKGROUND
Benign convulsions occur in infants during the course of mild gastroenteritis. It is now recognized as a distinct clinical entity in many countries. However, its occurrence in China has not yet been widely recognized by Chinese pediatricians.
METHODS
A retrospective study was conducted in
Simple partial status epilepticus (SPSE) is uncommon compared with generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus. We evaluated the clinical profile and predictors of poor outcome in a group of Chinese patients with this condition. We identified 32 patients above the age of 14 years with SPSE from a
A colony of outbred Chinese hamsters, Cricetulus griseus, was established. Attempts to use previously published methods of physically protecting the males were unsatisfactory. Rather, females were selected for nonaggressive behavior. Breeding was among pairs allowed to cohabit for 5 1/2 days.
