Benign convulsion with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) is a type of afebrile seizure that occurs in children. CwG is defined as a convulsion in a previously healthy child with no known central nervous system infection or encephalopathy, accompanying mild diarrhea without fever, electrolyte imbalance, or moderate to severe dehydration. Convulsions in CwG are characterized by multiple brief episodes o...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the locomotor effect of chloroform extract of Semecarpus anacardium (Linn.) (CHSA) by using photoactometer. Its anticonvulsant property was tested against maximal electroshock (MES)-induced convulsion (MESIC), pentalenetetrazol (PTZ)induced convulsion (PTZIC), strychnine-induced convulsion (SIC), picrotoxininduced convulsion (PIC), isoniazid (INH)-in...

objective febrile seizure is the most common seizure disorder in children. its pathophysiology is not fully understood yet; however, some risk factors have been cited for it. iron is one of these influential elements and is involved in the metabolism of some neurotransmitters which are reduced in irondeficiency anemia and also increases the sensitivity of neural cells during a febrile episode. ...

Tetanus is a rare disease in the United States. Fewer than 40 cases are reported annually because of the high incidence of vaccination. Recognition of the clinical presentations is important because laboratory recovery of pathogen is only 30%, and toxin detection is rare because of consumption at motor neurons. We report a case of tetanus in an elderly man who had a reaction to tetanus vaccinat...

This study evaluated the sedative, and anticonvulsant activities of aqueous (AESM) ethanol (EESM) dried leaf extracts Solenostemon monostachyus. The sedative effect was with ketamine-induced hypnosis (100 mg/kg, i.p.). Also, activity using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced convulsion (85 i.p.), strychnine-induced (2 i.p.) maximal electroshock (MES)-induced models. AESM (200 p.o.) gave 66.67% pro...
