BACKGROUND Depression is common among persons with epilepsy (PwE), affecting roughly one in three individuals, and its presence is associated with personal suffering, impaired quality of life, and worse prognosis. Despite the availability of effective treatments, depression is often overlooked and treated inadequately in PwE, in part because of assumed concerns over drug interactions or proconv...

In this paper, we propose Plane Wave Elastography (PWE), a novel ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) approach. Currently, commercial methods for SWE rely on directional filtering based the prior knowledge of propagation direction, to remove complicated patterns formed due reflection and refraction. The result is set decomposed waves that are separately analyzed construct modulus fields the...

Dr Hatcher expresses concern about the use of the abbreviation ‘PWE’ rather than the phrase ‘person with epilepsy’, which he considers an offensive and stigmatising practice. As a researcher on stigma, I have some sympathy with Dr Hatcher’s position – to be abbreviated is a state unlikely to be welcomed by any of us, whether we have epilepsy or any other condition of human being. Dr Hatcher mak...

In this work, microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μ-PAD) was applied in a photoelectrochemical (PEC) method and thus a truly low-cost, simple, portable, and disposable microfluidic PEC origami device (μ-PECOD) was demonstrated. The molecular imprinting technique was introduced into microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μ-PADs) through electropolymerization of molecular imprinted ...

Memory symptoms are common among people with epilepsy (pwe). Their complaints are often corroborated by impairments on traditional tests of memory which assess learning and retention over delays of up to 30 min. Yet a substantial minority of patients report memory problems which are not identified on standard testing. This discrepancy has sometimes been ascribed to mood disorders. There is, how...

Objective: To identify the incidence of seizures within 48 hours COVID-19 vaccination in PWE Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional observational study performed at two Northern Virginia neurology clinics. that had been vaccinated against were surveyed to report occurrence seizure and presence additional triggers surrounding seizure. Results: Of 189 patients included analysis, 13 (7%)...

Purpose: This study aims to determine the quality of life (QOL) related health people with epilepsy (PWE) followed in ambulatory care at Neuropsychiatric Hospital Center Goma, Democratic Republic Congo. Methods: A total 302 adults Goma were interviewed this cross-sectional study. The QOL was measured using a validated French-language version Quality Life Epilepsy-31 inventory (QOLIE-31). Result...

Background: Depression is the most common comorbid in people with epilepsy (PWE). Detection of depression PWE not a routine examination at neurology clinic because it takes long time. The education Acehnese regarding still limited, leading to discrimination and stigma society. It easy carry out examinations, diagnosis often overlooked. objective this study was screen describe characteristics Ac...
