BACKGROUND
Injury secondary to epileptic seizure is widely documented in the literature. In particular, uncontrolled muscular contractions generated during a seizure can lead to a variety of musculoskeletal injuries.
METHODS
We present the case of a 16-year-old male who presented on two separate
Adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency is a rare inherited disorder of purine metabolism causing severe neurological impairment ranging from early-onset neonatal epileptic encephalopathy to progressive psychomotor retardation and autism in later life. Diagnostic workup involves the measurement of toxic
Appropriate diagnosis and treatment and the correct use of specialized services at epilepsy referral centers make it possible to control seizures relatively quickly in a large number of patients. Timeliness is extremely important, however, because delaying treatment decreases the likelihood of
The toxicity and efficacy of the acute rodenticide scilliroside was evaluated in the laboratory against the lesser bandicoot rat, Bandicota bengalensis. The acute oral LD50 and LD95 doses for males were 0 . 8 mg/kg and 2 . 5 mg/kg respectively, and for females were 0 . 5 mg/kg and 1 . 6 mg/kg,
The identification of variables predictive of good seizure control following surgical tumor resection in adult glioma patients with tumor-related epilepsy would greatly benefit treatment decisions. Therefore, we analyzed the clinical data of adult patients with tumor-related epilepsy who underwent
Experimental animal studies suggest the involvement of cytokines in epilepsy. We measured increased concentrations of interleukin-6 in four out of 15 cerebrospinal fluid samples from unmedicated patients with newly developed tonic-clonic seizures; plasma levels were also increased but to a lesser
This study was performed to test the hypotheses that (a) resection of the temporal lobe epileptic focus, amenable to noninvasive as opposed to invasive localization, is associated with superior seizure outcome and (b) that quadruple (versus lesser degrees of) concordance of seizure focus localizing
Fourty epileptic and 66 migraine patients were examined. The differences in clinical features of headache paroxysms, consciousness disorders, psycho-sensory++, viscero-autonomic++ and affective spells were determined. The elements of confused consciousness, short-lived and local autonomic responses
Muscarinic agonist-induced parasympathomimetic effects, in vivo phosphoinositide hydrolysis and seizures were evaluated in wild-type and muscarinic M1-M5 receptor knockout mice. The muscarinic agonist oxotremorine induced marked hypothermia in all the knockout mice, but the hypothermia was reduced
The effects of seizures on performance were investigated in a pair of identical twins who were concordant for incidence of epilepsy, but who had highly contrasting histories of seizure frequency. An evaluation of abilities focused on intelligence, academic achievement, neuropsychologic functions,
The case of an 39-year-old man is presented, who sustained a bilateral locked fracture dislocation of the shoulders occurring during an epileptic seizure. Radiographs demonstrated a compression-fracture of the anteromedial aspect of the humeral head bilaterally (reversed Hill-Sachs-lesions).
Hippocampal neuron densities in three areas (H1 zone, end folium, and dentate gyrus) were counted in each of 32 temporal lobectomy excision specimens using the technique of Mouritzen Dam. The association between severe neuronal loss in all three areas and early childhood convulsions that were
We report the pattern of seizure propagation as detected by functional MRI (fMRI) in a 24-year-old man with frequent recurrent electrographic seizures. The EEG seizure onset was left occipital with later spread to the left hemisphere and, to a lesser extent, the right hemisphere. The fMRI showed
We investigated the influence of recurrent epileptic seizures on the arachidonic acid (AA) cascade in platelets and brain microvessels, using [(14)C]AA as a tracer substrate and chromatographic determination. The recurrent epileptic seizures of male Wistar rats were induced every second day with
We report the case of a patient who received two infusions of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) cryopreserved autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) after myeloablative chemotherapy for a relapsing lymphoma. A 49-year-old man presented an episode of tonic-clonic seizure over a few minutes after
