CONTEXT Newborns may present a range of motor phenomena that are not epileptic in nature. Chin tremor is an unusual movement disorder that typically starts in early childhood and may be precipitated by stress and emotion. Its pathophysiology has not been fully elucidated. CASE REPORT We describe a full-term newborn that, immediately after neonatal anoxia, presented body and chin tremors that ...

I have been using these two books extensively for reference purposes as part of my final year project in psychiatry and I was asked to provide a user's view of them. Although I have found both books useful in my researches, they are very different and individually reflect American and European experience in the fascinating area of non-epileptic seizures. The Ameri-can book "Non Epileptic Seizur...

The aim of this study was to compare out of camera view seizure occurrence rates between psychogenic non-epileptic and epileptic seizures during long-term video-EEG monitoring. From 1996 to 2001, 208 adult patients were monitored in 212 sessions, and 196 patients were included in the study. Depending on video-EEG recordings and witnessed accounts, 18 of the patients had no seizures recorded, 16...

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...

Epilepsy is considered one of the most common neurological disorders. The focus of this review is the acquired form of epilepsy, with the development process consisting of three major phases, the acute injury phase, the latency epileptogenesis phase, and the phase of spontaneous recurrent seizures. Nowadays, an increasing attention is paid to the possible interrelationship between oxidative str...

In this study, the wavelet-based fractal analysis is applied to analyze epileptic ECoG data obtained during nonseizure period and epileptic seizure events. The spectral exponents of the epileptic ECoG data obtained using the waveletbased fractal analysis from various intervals of levels are examined. The computational results show that the estimated spectral exponents of the epileptic ECoG epoc...
