Understanding the transition of brain activities towards an absence seizure, called pre-epileptic seizure, is a challenge. In this study, multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) is proposed to describe dynamical characteristics of electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings on different absence seizure states. The classification ability of the MPE measures using linear discriminant analysis is evaluate...

Some dogs can signal human seizure activity. Seizure response dogs (SRDs) recognize and respond to ongoing seizure and postseizure compromise, whereas seizure alert dogs (SADs) may warn of impending seizure.1-5 Canine companions may have an additional stress reduction benefit that can lead to decreased seizure frequency.5 In this report we describe a dog that warns of psychogenic nonepileptifor...

33 Low-voltage fast-(LVF) and hypersynchronous-(HYP) seizure onset patterns can be recognized 34 in the EEG of epileptic animals and patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. Ripples (80-200 Hz) 35 and fast ripples (250-500 Hz) have been linked to each pattern, with ripples predominating 36 during LVF seizures and fast ripples predominating during HYP seizures in the rat pilocarpine 37 model. This ...

This retrospective study reviewed the charts of children with epilepsy who were followed up in pediatric neurology clinic King Fahad Hospital Al-Baha region, Saudi Arabia, between January 2015 and August 2022. Children 1 to 14 years age had epilepsy, as per International League against Epilepsy (ILAE) definition, received anti-seizure medication a seizure-free period at least two months before ...

Epilepsy affects almost 1% of the population and most of the approximately 20-30% of patients with refractory epilepsy have one or more seizures per month. Seizure detection devices allow an objective assessment of seizure frequency and a treatment tailored to the individual patient. A rapid recognition and treatment of seizures through closed-loop systems could potentially decrease morbidity a...

Abstract BACKGROUND Seizures are a common symptom in patients with CNS tumors. The RANO-Seizure Control Composite Index (RANO-SCCI) was developed to monitor seizures over time by and clinicians. We describe the use of RANO-SCCI as part NCI NOB-Natural History Study. METHODS Patients completed prior their clinic appointment results shared clinicians who then same appointment. Seizure reports wer...

Seizure semiology has been the foundation of clinical diagnosis of seizure disorders. This article discusses the value and the limitations of behavioral features of seizure episodes in localizing seizure onset. Studies have shown that some semiologic features of seizures are highly accurate in the hemispheric lateralization and lobar localization of seizures. There is good agreement between bli...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and nature of self-perceived seizure precipitants in epilepsy patients, and evaluate whether anxiety level, depression, or health locus of control influence self-perception of seizure precipitants. METHODS Adults aged 18 and older who had epilepsy for at least 1 year were recruited in either the inpatient epilepsy monitoring uni...

objective to determine the role of ketogenic diet in the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children. materials & methods sixty six consecutive children (1-16 years old) with intractable epilepsy whose seizure were not neurodegenerative nor febrile in origin were recruited. they received the ketogenic diet and we evaluated its effect on seizure frequency for 3 months. all these children had m...
