METHODS We studied 139 consecutive patients with TLE-HS who underwent epilepsy surgery and were followed up for at least 5 years (mean duration of follow-up 9.1 years, range 5-15). Medica...

متن کاملCan Seizure-Alert Dogs predict seizures?
An index observation where a dog was trained to alert to, as well as respond to, human tonic-clonic seizures led to further research and refinement of training techniques. This was followed by anecdotal reports of pet dogs spontaneously anticipating human epileptic seizures. An industry has since developed training Seizure-Alert Dogs (SADs) to give humans warnings of their seizures. In some cas...
متن کاملFirst seizure: do multiple seizures predict recurrence?
The decision of whether to treat a seizure with anticonvulsant medication is a common one, and one with important implications. Unlike many diseases, treatment for epilepsy does not eliminate the disease. Treatment reduces the odds of a subsequent seizure, thereby reducing potential morbidity and mortality. The decision to treat depends on the magnitude of the recurrence risk, and must be weigh...
