Abstract Introduction Seizure is a recognised complication of Chronic Subdural Haematoma (CSDH). Blood Type A has been indicated as risk factor for developing postoperative seizures in Acute (ASDH). However, to our knowledge there not similar study see if an association between blood type and seizure CSDH. Method 699 patients who had CSDH surgically evacuated with burr holes 2013 2019 were iden...

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of febrile seizure is affected by numerous factors, but some studies indicated that inflammatory cytokines might contribute to the development seizure. In resource limited settings, complete blood count (CBC) serve as potential indices for response. AIM: aim present study was determine role mean platelet ratio and neutrophil lymphocyte (NLR) on risk seizures in childr...

Tramadol is used in treatment of moderate to severe pain. Nowadays tramadol overdose is one of the common emergencies. Naloxone is an antagonist which is used as a first step of treatment in these patients. This study was designed to evaluate the seizurogenic effects of naloxone in tramadol overdose. A number of 124 patients with the diagnosis of tramadol overdose were divided to receive lo...

The focus of this project is to predict impending seizure occurrence for epilepsy patients using intracranial EEG recordings. Reliable prediction of seizures can provide the patients with not only warnings but also new therapeutic possibilities. The goal is to correctly differentiate the pre-seizure brain state (the preictal state) from the baseline state (the interictal state) using just the i...

Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires adaptive responses. In various organisms, stress a seizure-related comorbidity. Despite exposure stressors eliciting aversive behaviors in zebrafish, there are no data showing whether potentiates epileptic seizures this species. Here, we investigated previous an intense acute stressor positively modulates susceptibility pentylenetetrazol...

We evaluated self-perception of seizure precipitants in 149 adult subjects with epilepsy: 71% of the subjects reported at least one factor that, according to the perception, increased the risk of suffering from a seizure. The subjects most often reported psychological stress, change of weather and sleep deprivation. Among the disease-related factors, seizure frequency and the state of conscious...

Commentary Efforts to predict impending seizures before they actually occur have been the focus of extensive lines of research over decades. Successful seizure prediction would offer the possibility of immediate treatment to preempt the seizure, as well as to provide an opportunity for the patient to take precautionary measures and reduce risk. There is even evidence that simply reducing the un...

The nature and occurrence of remission, and conversely, pharmacoresistance following epilepsy treatment is still not fully understood in human or veterinary medicine. As such, predicting which patients will have good or poor treatment outcomes is imprecise, impeding patient management. In the present study, we use a naturally occurring animal model of pharmacoresistant epilepsy to investigate c...

OBJECTIVE To study the correlation of randomly-tested total antiepileptic plasma levels and seizure control in a retrospectively collected group of pregnant epileptic Saudi women. METHODS The medical records of 30 Saudi epileptic female patients were reviewed during their subsequent pregnancies (total of 50). The type of antiepileptic drugs used during each pregnancy, the dose of each drug an...
