Epilepsy is a brain disorder that results in seizures; general seizure suddenly occurring uncontrollable electrical disturbance the brain. These disturbances can lead to changes behaviour, feelings, movements, etc. It highly essential for patients suffering with epilepsy be diagnosed and treated. The normal detection of done using EEG signals which are time consuming. This paper aims at proposi...

OBJECTIVE To report the detection of mutations in the SCARB2 gene in a previously described patient with progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) and demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Epilepsy Genetics Research Laboratory and Epilepsy Service in a tertiary care center. PATIENT A 27-year old male patient with PME with preserved intellect and peripheral neuropathy...

In 2008, a group of clinicians, scientists, engineers, and industry representatives met to discuss advances in the application of engineering technologies to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy. The presentations also provided a guide for further technological development, specifically in the evaluation of patients for epilepsy surgery, seizure onset detection and seizure pred...

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by the recurrence of seizures, which can significantly impact lives patients. Electroencephalography (EEG) provide important physiological information on human brain activity be useful to diagnose epilepsy. However, manual analysis and visual inspection many EEG signals time-consuming may lead contradictory diagnoses doctors. play an role...

Frontal lobe epilepsy accounts for only 10-20% of the patients in surgical series, but the incidence in non-surgical patient cohorts seems to be much higher. The typical clinical presentation of the seizures includes contralateral clonic movements, uni- or bilateral tonic motor activity as well as complex automatism. The yield of surface EEG may be limited due to the difficulty in detection of ...

Epilepsy becomes one of the most frequently arising brain disorder, and it is marked by unexpected occurrence frequent seizures. In this study, University Boon Database with ictal seizure disorder diagnosis epilepsy classified making use expectation maximization features as dimensionality reduction technique followed nonlinear model, namely, Gaussian mixture logistic regression, firefly algorit...

Early detection of seizures could reduce associated morbidity and mortality and improve the quality of life of patients with epilepsy. In this study, the aim was to investigate whether ictal tachycardia is present in focal and generalized epileptic seizures in children. We sought to predict in which type of seizures tachycardia can be identified before actual seizure onset. Electrocardiogram se...

PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of epilepsy in a rural district of Lao PDR and to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of the disease. METHODS Door-to-door screening was performed on the entire population of 8 randomly selected villages in the Hinheub district, using an internationally validated and standardized questionnaire. Additional passive case detection was performed thro...

Epilepsy is an electrophysiological disorder of the brain, characterized by recurrent seizures. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain, and is widely used in the detection and analysis of epileptic seizures. However, it is often difficult to identify subtle but critical changes in the EEG waveform by visual inspection, thus opening up...

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, by which around 1% of the people in the world are affected. Unfortunately, 25% of the epilepsy patients cannot be treated sufficiently by antiepileptic drugs and epilepsy surgery. If seizures cannot be well controlled, the patients experience major limitations in their lives. In recent years, open-loop seizure controllers, such as vagus...
