Bilateral Pathological Damage in Temporal Lobe EpilepsyCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 18 Số S4 - Trang 645-648 - 1991
Thomas L. Babb
ABSTRACT:Patients with drug-refractory temporal lobe epilepsy can be treated successfully with surgical resection of one temporal lobe, especially when the resection includes the hippocampus. Although intrahippocampal recordings usually localize seizure onsets to one hippocampus, there are bilaterally-independent interictal spikes, occasional contralateral seizure ...... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACT:Evoked potentials were studied in 22 children with leukodystrophy [10 metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), 4 Pelizaeus-Merzbacher (PM), 3 Krabbes, 2 adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), and one each of Alexander's, Canavan's and multiple sulphatase deficiency (MSD) diseases]. The ABRs were abnormal in all patients (except for the younger ALD), but varied with the ty...... hiện toàn bộ

The Insular Cortex and the Pathophysiology of Stroke-Induced Cardiac ChangesCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences - Tập 19 Số 2 - Trang 208-211 - 1992
Stephen Oppenheimer
ABSTRACT:Over the past fifty years considerable clinical evidence has accrued to demonstrate involvement of the cerebral cortex in cardiac function. Hemispheric stroke is often associated with electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of cardiac repolarisation abnormalities. In addition strokes of all types are associated with specific pathological changes in the ventric...... hiện toàn bộ
