Subclinical seizures (SCS) have rarely been considered in the diagnosis and therapy of epilepsy and have not been systematically analyzed in studies on seizure prediction. Here, we investigate whether predictions of subclinical seizures are feasible and how their occurrence may affect the performance of prediction algorithms. Using the European database of long-term recordings of surface and in...

Seizure is an important complication following ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in older adults. Post-stroke seizure can be classified as early late according to the onset time after stroke. There a 71% risk for further seizures unprovoked poststroke seizure, which referred epilepsy. Common factors developing epilepsy include severity, cortical involvement, and seizure. The use of anti-seizure me...

We present a new hybrid explicit/implicit solvent method for dynamics simulations of macromolecular systems. The method models explicitly the hydration of the solute by either a layer or sphere of water molecules, and the generalized Born (GB) theory is used to treat the bulk continuum solvent outside the explicit simulation volume. To reduce the computational cost, we implemented a multigrid m...

A particular result of Telyakovskiı̌ is extended to the newly defined class of numerical sequences and a specific problem is also highlighted. A further analogous result is also proved.

We derive via the interaction "representation" the many-body wave function for harmonically confined electrons in the presence of a magnetostatic field and perturbed by a spatially homogeneous time-dependent electric field-the Generalized Kohn Theorem (GKT) wave function. In the absence of the harmonic confinement - the uniform electron gas - the GKT wave function reduces to the Kohn Theorem wa...

PURPOSE Although most neuroscientists and physicians would argue against Cartesian dualism, Descartes's version of the psyche/soma divide, which has been controversial since he proposed it in the seventeenth century, continues to haunt contemporary neurological diagnoses through terms such as functional, organic, and psychogenic. Drawing on my own experiences as a person with medically unexplai...

background: serum prolactin level has been used as an alternative determinant to help differentiate epileptic from non-epileptic seizures. we aimed to analyze the association between serum prolactin concentration and epileptic seizure versus febrile seizure as well as seizure duration, single versus multiple seizure attacks and time lapse between seizure onset and blood sampling.   methods: sev...

febrile seizure is the most common form of childhood seizures that occur in 2-5% of them. the purpose of this study was to compare serum sodium level in first simple, multiple and recurrent febrile con-vulsions to answer whether serum sodium levels can predict febrile seizure recurrence in 24 hours and in other febrile episodes? in a retrospective study, sodium serum levels of all children aged...

A detailed history taking and an eyewitness account are important in diagnosing a seizure. Antiseizure medication is generally not prescribed after single seizure, except for patients with high risk of recurrence. The choice varies according to the type seizure patient’s coexisting conditions childbearing potential.
