Introduction Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is the most common idiopathic generalized epileptic syndrome, mostly initiated before adolescence. It is usually preceded by myoclonic jerks (sudden brief involuntary muscle spasm) in the second decade of life. JME may be presented with different types of seizure activity. Simple bilateral myoclonic seizure is the most seen clinical presentation of...

A comparison of the elementary visual hallucinations of 50 patients with migraine and 20 patients with occipital epileptic seizures showed that epileptic seizures are predominantly multi-coloured with circular or spherical patterns as opposed to the predominantly black and white linear patterns of migraine. This simple clinical symptom of the elementary visual hallucinations may be helpful in d...

Abstract Study electroencephalograph (EEG) of epileptic patients during different periods in order to do effective treatments. This paper studies wave forms and energy characteristics of the paroxysmal stage and the static epileptic EEG, adopts two different methods to classify. One is using Support Vector Machines (SVM) to rebuild and classify as to the characteristic signals. The other is app...

The bone mineral mass was estimated by photon absorptiometry in 23 epileptic patients on long-term treatment with phenytoin and in 20 normal subjects before and during treatment with vitamin D or placebo.Initially, subnormal values of bone mineral mass were found in the epileptic patients. The group of epileptic patients treated with vitamin D showed a significant increase in bone mineral mass....

Dynamical couplings between brain structures are believed to be primarily responsible for the generation of epileptic seizures and their propagation. In this study, we attempt to identify the spatio-temporal interactions of an epileptic brain using a previously proposed non-linear dependency measure. Using a clustering model, we determine the average spatial mappings in an epileptic brain at di...

Abnormal dynamical coupling between brain structures is believed to be primarily responsible for the generation of epileptic seizures and their propagation. In this study, we attempt to identify the spatio-temporal interactions of an epileptic brain using a previously proposed nonlinear dependency measure. Using a clustering model, we determine the average spatial mappings in an epileptic brain...
