Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies: Clinical Syndromes and Pathogenesis. Most kinds of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) such as juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), absence epilepsy in infancy (CAE), myoclonic absence epilepsy (MAE), juvenile absence epilepsy

Sleep and epilepsy share some common mechanisms. The objective of the present investigation was to study the macrostructure of sleep in patients with idiopathic epilepsies, focal and generalized, comparing these two groups to each other and to a control group of 12 individuals without epilepsy. A total of 35 polysomnographies were performed, 12 of them in the control group, 10 in patients with ...

background: haptoglobin (hp) is a plasma α2-sialoglycoprotein that contains alpha and beta chains. it displays in three common phenotypes, hp1-1, hp2-1, and hp2-2. proteins expressed by polymorphic genes have grossly different molecular sizes resulting in different diffusion rates in the brain. haptoglobin expressed by the hp2-2 genotype has lower hemoglobin-binding capacity than hp1-1 or hp2-1...

PURPOSE Idiopathic focal epilepsies in childhood including benign childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms (BEOP) or benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes (BCECTS) are characterized by specific focal electrographic patterns as the name indicates. Generalized spike-wave discharges in children with idiopathic focal epilepsy can suggest a neurobiological continuum with the idiop...
