BRAIN BIOELECTRIC ACTIVITY IN CHILDREN WITH IDIOPATHIC EPILEPSY

Bioelectric Activity in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus—Pineal Gland System in Children with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

The purpose of this work is to identify a role of the pineal gland/suprachiasmatic nucleus system in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) aetiology and pathogenesis. To analyze electroencephalograms of 292 children with AIS and in 46 healthy subjects, a processing method was used to assess three-dimensional coordinates of electric equivalent dipole sources (EEDSs) within the brain. Amounts of ...

Electrocardiography Findings in Children with Epilepsy Compared with Healthy Children

Background Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. Over the last decades the hypothesis of cardiovascular effects from sudden seizure has been raised, and cardiac rhythm and ECG changes in these patients have been highlighted. The study aimed to evalua...

Investigating Relationship of positive Family Historypattern and the incidence of idiopathic epilepsy in patients with epilepsy

Automatisms in absence seizures in children with idiopathic generalized epilepsy.

BACKGROUND Automatisms are well recognized to occur in complex partial seizures; however, their occurrence in generalized epilepsies is not always appreciated. There has been considerable debate regarding the nature, triggers, and timing of automatisms in absence seizures. OBJECTIVES To examine the frequency and nature of automatisms in new-onset absence seizures and assess the influence of t...

Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Turkish Children with Idiopathic Epilepsy

OBJECTIVE This study has examined the prevalence of celiac disease in Turkish children with idiopathic epilepsy. METHODS Children with idiopathic epilepsy were screened for celiac disease using the IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody and compared with the healthy control group in order to find the association of celiac disease (CD) with idiopathic epilepsy. Upper gastrointestinal endosc...
