Epilepsy is one of the most common brain diseases that affect more than 1\% world's population. It characterized by recurrent seizures, which come in different types and are treated differently. Electroencephalography (EEG) commonly used medical services to diagnose seizures their types. The accurate identification helps provide optimal treatment information patient. However, manual diagnostic ...

Results: In the 138 patients, whose mean age was 75.6 ± 7.2 years at the time of first seizure, we found the most common seizure type was generalized seizure and the most common etiologic factor was cerebrovascular diseases. Levetirasetam was the most used antiepileptic drug, and for the overall group, the rate of adverse effect of the antiepileptic drugs were 20.3%. At the last visit, 89.9% of...

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...

OBJECTIVE To examine the seizure trajectories of adults with epilepsy developing drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) and to identify the predictors of seizure trajectory outcome. METHODS Adult patients failing two antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) due to inefficacy and starting their third AED at a tertiary epilepsy center were followed for seizure trajectory outcome during medical management. Seizure tra...

In integrable many-particle systems, it is widely believed that the stationary state reached at late times after a quantum quench can be described by a generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE) constructed from their extensive number of conserved charges. A crucial issue is then to identify a complete set of these charges, enabling the GGE to provide exact steady-state predictions. Here we solve this lo...

Abstract Background: Convulsion in neonatal period is a considerable clinical issue because of its potential brain damage.One of the benign neonatal seizures known as the  fifth day fits ,is due to zinc deficiency. Zinc is a rare element which has spread throughout the body fluids and tissues especially central nervous system. Reduction of neurons’ stimulation has been ascribed as the main eff...

febrile seizure is the most common type of convulsion yet described in man. it is a convulsive event mainly occurring in children between the ages of 6 to 60 months and is not accompanied by any type of electrolyte imbalance and cns infections, which are very difficult to be ruled out in infancy. to determine the frequency of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) pleocytosis in infants under the age of eig...

Voltage-gated calcium channels are key components in the etiology and pathogenesis of epilepsies. Former studies mainly focused on P/Q-type Ca(v)2.1 and T-type Ca(v)3.2 Ca(2+) channels involved in absence epileptogenesis, but recent findings also point to an intriguing role of the Ca(v)2.3 E/R-type Ca(2+) channel in ictogenesis and seizure propagation. Based on the observation that Ca(v)2.3 is ...
