Objectives This is a protocol for Cochrane Review (prognosis). The objectives are as follows: Primary To identify which prognostic factors predict whether individuals will go on to have further unprovoked seizures and the development of epilepsy at any subsequent time point following single seizure (or cluster epileptic within 24‐hour period, or first episode status epilepticus), type. Investig...

to ascertain whether lp was justifiable in cases of first simple febrile seizure, the records of128 such patients were critically reviewed in this study. it was evident that in 90% of those who received cerebrospinal fluid examination as a routine work up, lumbar puncture could have been avoided if the definition of simple febrile seizure was adhered to and the history and clinical findings wer...

Let g ∈ Q be not −1 or a square. Let Pg denote the set of primes p such that g is a primitive root mod p. Let 1 ≤ a ≤ f, (a, f) = 1. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) it can be shown that the set of primes p ∈ Pg with p ≡ a(mod f) has a natural density. In this note this density is explicitly evaluated. This generalizes a classical result of Hooley.

PURPOSE To investigate the factors, including those associated with ictal scalp EEG results, related to surgical outcome in patients with pathologically proven mesial temporal sclerosis. METHODS We studied 51 consecutive patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy and had at least 4 years of follow-up. Surgical outcome was classified as being seizure-free or not seizure-free during the...
