Plasma tetranectin as a potential clinical biomarker for epilepsy and correlation with clinical and social characteristicsInternational Journal of Epilepsy - Tập 4 - Trang 2-5 - 2017
Ekta Singh Dahiya, Man Mohan Mehndiratta, Krishna Kolappa Pillai
Abstract
Background Tetranectin concentration has been identified as a biomarker of several types of metastatic and malignant cancers. The role of tetranectin has also be seen in some neurological disorders. We aimed to estimate the plasma tetranectin concentration in different groups of people with epilepsy (PWE) followed-up for a year. As a secondary ob...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the relationship between time to antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment (TTT) and seizure outcome in a high treatment gap sub-Sahara African setting.
Methods Clinical and demographic characteristics of 72 adults with epilepsy aged 18–75 years were obtained. We estimated TTT as the difference betwee...... hiện toàn bộ

Batwing appearance – A neuroradiologic clue to glutaric aciduria-type 1International Journal of Epilepsy - Tập 2 - Trang 44-48 - 2015
Anusha Doraiswamy, Bhanu Kesavamurthy, Lakshminarasimhan Ranganathan
AbstractGlutaric aciduria type 1 (GA-1) is a rare inherited neurometabolic disorder due to enzymatic block in the common degradation pathway for lysine and tryptophan. We report a 16 month girl child who presented with an initial acute encephalopathic crisis followed by static encephalopathy with characteristic neuroimaging findings. Diagnosis was confirmed by demo...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractNeonatal seizure is the most frequent clinical manifestation of central nervous system dysfunction in the newborn. It is defined as a paroxysmal alteration in neurologic function that include motor, behavior and/or autonomic functions occurring in the first 28 days after birth of a term neonate or before 44 weeks of gestational age in a preterm infant.

A case of paroxysmal nocturnal dystonia responsive to cyproheptadine: Is it almost always epileptic?International Journal of Epilepsy - Tập 2 - Trang 49-50 - 2015
Mohammad Sayadnasiri
AbstractNocturnal Paroxysmal Dystonia (NPD) is characterized by abnormal dyskinetic movements occur mostly during non-REM sleep. From introducing NPD in early 1980s, most authors have been in favour of an epileptic origin for these sleep-related episodes. Clinical characteristics of NPD including abrupt hypermotor behaviours, automatisms and vocalizations, abnormal...... hiện toàn bộ
Cognitive deficits in the first 24 hours after the onset of first unprovoked generalized Tonic and clonic seizureInternational Journal of Epilepsy - Tập 4 - Trang 141-143 - 2017
Zeinab Charmchi, Mohammad Sayadnasiri
AbstractBackground Many people with epilepsy suffer from cognitive deficits as a consequence of their seizure episodes. Relatively few researches have been undertaken to assess the short term impacts of seizure on cognitive function. This study aimed to evaluate changes in cognitive performance in adults with a new onset generalized seizure in the first 24 h after ...... hiện toàn bộ
