Should we stop saying “epileptic”? A comparison of the effect of the terms “epileptic” and “person with epilepsy”
OBJECTIVE The advantages and disadvantages of using "epileptic" as a noun to describe someone with epilepsy have long been debated. Recent high-profile recommendations have stated that the term should not be used, including in English, as it perpetuates stigma. This decision was largely informed by a Brazilian Global Campaign Against Epilepsy study that reported experimental evidence indicating...
متن کاملStereotactic surgical approach to hypothalamic hamartomas.
Hypothalamic hamartomas are often associated to a progressive epileptic encephalopathy. Non-invasive data indicates that destruction or isolation of the hamartoma may stop seizures. We present data on patients who underwent stereotactic radiofrequency with or without endoscopy. Epilepsy improved in 60% of patients with minimal morbidity. This approach was less successful in large lesions. These...
متن کاملMicrostructured zirconia surfaces modulate osteogenic marker genes in human primary osteoblasts
In dentistry, zirconia has been used since the early 1990s for endodontic posts, more recently for implant abutments and frameworks for fixed dental prostheses. Zirconia is biocompatible and mechanically strong enough to serve as implant material for oral implants. Although several zirconia implant systems are available, currently the scientific and clinical data for zirconia implants are not s...
متن کاملN-Phenylpropyl-N′-(3-methoxyphenethyl)piperazine (YZ-185) Attenuates the Conditioned-Rewarding Properties of Cocaine in Mice
Sigma receptor antagonists diminish the effects of cocaine in behavioral assays, including conditioned place preference. Previous locomotor activity experiments in mice determined that the sigma receptor ligand YZ-185 (N-phenylpropyl-N'-(3-methoxyphenethyl)piperazine) enhanced cocaine-induced hyperactivity at a lower (0.1 μ mol/kg) dose and dose-dependently attenuated cocaine-induced hyperacti...
متن کاملTyrosine-Z in oxygen-evolving photosystem II: a hydrogen-bonded tyrosinate.
In oxygen-evolving photosystem II (PSII), a tyrosine residue, D1Tyr161 (YZ), serves as the intermediate electron carrier between the catalytic Mn cluster and the photochemically active chlorophyll moiety P680. A more direct catalytic role of YZ, as a hydrogen abstractor from bound water, has been postulated. That YZox appears as a neutral (i.e. deprotonated) radical, YZ*, in EPR studies is comp...
