Electrical Stimulation of the Hippocampal Epileptic Foci for Seizure Control: A Double-Blind, Long-Term Follow-Up Study
Electrical stimulation of the hippocampus provides a nonlesional method that improves seizure outcome without memory deterioration in patients with hippocampal epileptic foci. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1528-1167.2007.01181.x Surgery For Medically Intractable Temporal Lobe Epilepsy During Early Life
TLE presents in early life with varied and severe manifestations. Excisional procedures in this age group are associated with favorable seizure reduction similar to older children and in adults. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1528-1167.2007.01315.x Perinatal Stroke and the Risk of Developing Childhood Epilepsy
Childhood epilepsy is frequent after perinatal stroke. Evidence of infarction on prenatal ultrasonography and a family history of epilepsy predict earlier onset of active seizures. http://www.jpeds.com/article/PIIS0022347607003265/abstract Treatment Of Physicians With Epilepsy
This study highlights the diverse ways that epilepsy can affect physician–patients and the challenges that arise in treating this unique patient population. http://www.neurology.org/cgi/content/abstract/69/13/1374 A Multistage Knowledge-Based System For EEG Seizure Detection In Newborn Infants
The expert rule-based decision-making subsystem accompanying the classifier helped to reduce the false detection rate, reject a wide variety of artifacts, and discriminate various patterns of EEG. |
