84 patients of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) of Janz were studied. Diagnosis was confirmed using clinical and electro-encephalographic (EEG) criterias. 58 (78%) patients of JME were referred as 'refractory or uncontrolled seizures'. Ignoring myoclonic episodes and non-use of activation procedures in EEG were important reasons for diagnostic delay. Sodium valproate (VPA) or clonazepam are th...

Model-based diagnosis typically uses analytical redundancy to compare predictions from a model against observations from the system being diagnosed. However this approach does not work very well when it is not feasible to create analytic relations describing all the observed data, e.g., for vibration data which is usually sampled at very high rates and requires very detailed finite element mode...

In this work, the Electro-encephalogram and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) features along with physical, cognitive and psychological features combined together to diagnose the psychiatric disorder. The disorders are taken for diagnoses are Hyperactivity Disorder (HD), Memory Disorder (MD), Anxiety Disorder (AD), Obsession Disorder (OD) and Alzheimer (AZ). The diagnosis procedure of the disord...

Introduction In the recent past the management of a patient suspected of having had an acute myocardial infarction would have been largely conservative (1). Serial electro cardiograms (ECG) and cardiac enzyme estimations would have clarified the diagnosis over the ensuing few days. The advent of thrombolytic therapy has created pressure to make a more rapid and certain diagnosis (2) and to excl...

BACKGROUND Limbic encephalitis, an immune-mediated encephalitis, results from inflammation in the medial temporal lobes. The paraneoplastic form is rare in pediatric population, and frequently precedes tumor diagnosis. CASE CHARACTERISTICS A 9-year-old boy receiving chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma, developed headache, temporal lobe seizures, anxiety, hallucinations, short-term memory loss a...
