seizures/dental caries

Childhood traumatic dental injury is typically associated with motor vehicle accidents, sports, or other recreational activities. However, seizure disorders or other compromising medical conditions may precipitate dental trauma. Complete intrusion injuries in the mixed or permanent dentition are

The ubiquitously expressed iron storage protein ferritin plays a central role in maintaining cellular iron homeostasis. Cytosolic ferritins are composed of heavy (H) and light (L) subunits that co-assemble into a hollow spherical shell with an internal cavity where iron is stored. The ferroxidase

Identify seizure onset electrodes that need to be resected for seizure freedom in children undergoing intracranial electroencephalography recording for treatment of medically refractory epilepsy. All children undergoing intracranial electroencephalography subdural grid electrode placement at the

OBJECTIVE Periodontal diseases are common in most populations and affect people at all socioeconomic levels. Evidence suggests that patients with epilepsy actually have higher risks of dental disease and increased oral health needs, but the frequency and consequences of poor controlled seizures on

BACKGROUND Porencephalic cysts are brain cavities resulting from perinatal vascular occlusion and are commonly associated with severe neurological deficits and medically intractable epilepsy. Thirty-seven children presenting to the University of Münster with intractable seizures because of a

Oral droplet formulations of clonazepam (CZ) were developed to examine their potentials as an alternative to i.v. administration for the treatment of acute epileptic seizures. Propylene glycol containing 2.5% (wt/wt) CZ with or without 5.0% (wt/wt) oleic acid (OA) was prepared as a solution by

Authors report a case of air-embolism and subsequent ischaemic damage to the brain following intra-operative irrigation with hydrogen peroxide within a closed cavity of a spinal cold abscess of tuberculous origin. Copious amount of undiluted hydrogen peroxide irrigation was deployed under moderate

For cavernous haemangiomas, it is the aim of surgical treatment to control epilepsy and eliminate potential sources of intracerebral haematomas. In the following investigation, it was attempted to find indicators for seizure freedom after surgery. Success of therapy was assessed according to three

OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence and long-term outcome of brain tumor related seizures in children and to identify risk factors for adverse seizure outcome. METHODS Analysis of medical records of children treated for brain tumor and seizures in a single institution. Children were identified from

OBJECTIVE A five-year follow up of patients with epilepsy to examine the change in their oral health and seizure condition. METHODS A prospective observational controlled epidemiologic study under natural treatment settings. METHODS The epilepsy group consisted wholly of patients participating in an

Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) secondary to chronic phenytoin intake for seizure control is a well-recognized phenomenon. Phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth (PIGO) usually resolves gradually following cessation of phenytoin intake. It is usually seen throughout the dentate regions of the

Four small breed dogs were admitted with seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed dilation of the olfactory bulb cavity as well as enlargement of the lateral ventricles. These findings demonstrate that dilation of the olfactory bulb cavity can occur concurrent with

OBJECTIVE During the presurgical evaluation of patients with medically intractable focal epilepsy, a variety of noninvasive studies are performed to localize the hypothetical epileptogenic zone and guide the resection. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is becoming increasingly used in the clinical realm

Subdural electrode arrays are placed to localize seizure foci for possible resection. The procedure is usually straightforward when an electrode grid array is placed on the brain convexity but can become complicated if the surface on which the grids are applied is not convex. Arachnoid cysts can be
