These results indicate that the seizures of temporal lobe epilepsy can be effectively inhibited by ultrasound stimulation, and this effect is independent of ultrasound type (pulsed or continuous).
Pediatric Epilepsy
Interictal spike propagation is a highly reproducible output of epileptic networks. These findings shed new light on the spatiotemporal dynamics that may constrain the network mechanisms of refractory epilepsy.
Genetics
Even when accounting for deletion carriers diagnosed with epilepsy, reports of seizures and seizure-like symptoms are common.
The National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC) designated the Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute’s Epilepsy Program at Hoag as a Level 4 Epilepsy Center, the highest level of accreditation.
Vitamin D3 in high doses was safe and well-tolerated in patients with epilepsy and never exceeded toxic levels, according to study results published in Epilepsy & Behavior.
Pediatric Epilepsy
The severity of febrile seizures following vaccination is no different to febrile seizures from another cause, such as from a virus, and the majority of seizures are short-lived, self-resolving, and don't require ongoing treatment.
Students hope their effort will someday aid patients with epilepsy which medications can’t help, but may require surgery.
A systematic review of bone fractures from generalized convulsive seizures and status epilepticus.
Pediatric Epilepsy
Absence epilepsy can be triggered by impaired communication between two brain regions: the cortex and the striatum.
