a 73-year-old female patient developed a generalized tonic-clonic seizure on the 6th day after treatment with moxifloxacin 400 mg daily intravenously for appendicitis. this patient had atrial fibrillation and history of a surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage, with impaired renal function and liver function, but without history of seizures. moxifloxacin was discontinued and switched to cefuroxim...

The fruit essential oil of Ferula gummosa boiss., Umbelliferae, which has been used as an antiepileptic remedy in Iranian traditional medicine, was evaluated for anticonvulsant activity against experimental seizures. The essential oil had no effect against seizures induced by maximal electroshock. However, it protected mice against pentylenetetrazole-induced tonic seizures. The protective dose ...

Epilepsy medications are ineffective 30% of the time. Implantable devices are unsuitable in emergency situations. This research focuses on the development of an ambulatory system capable of the non-invasive detection and termination of seizures in emergencies. Towards this end, a concentric ring electrode system for detecting seizure electrical activity and applying localized transcranial elect...
