The patient was experiencing a sustained pattern of hyperthermia caused by infection, zonisamide, and persistent convulsions, which caused a vicious cycle of further seizures. In this case, the control of infection and switching from zonisamide to perampanel improved seizure frequency. Conclusion: Dravet...
Sex, place of residence, educational level, and having seen a patient experiencing epileptic seizures were no longer statistically associated. Previous studies in Palestine have reported challenges in caring for patients with epilepsy [34–40]. These challenges were related to knowledge and attitudes to...
While multifaceted treatments may prove more effective, monotherapies, particularly those using anticoagulants alone, without the inclusion of steroids or antivirals, often lead to poorer patient outcomes.Through precise mortality predictions, this machine learning model unveils insights into treatment ...
The detected events may be used in a form of treatment for a patient experiencing seizures or “ictal” or “epileptiform” activity, such as a form of treatment involving delivering a therapy of electrical stimulation whenever an event is deemed to have been detected by the implantable neuro...
Ictal psychosis typically involves non-convulsive status epilepticus, mostly of focal origin. Because automatisms and other typical seizure phenomena can raise the suspicion of ictal psychosis, the final diagnosis of ictal psychosis is based on the EEG [33]. Our patient’s psychotic episode was not...
Oncology patients experiencing poor food consumption are at greater risk of malnutrition, and optimal nutrition is indispensable for superior clinical and health outcomes. This investigation explored the correlations between nutritional intake and clinical endpoints in hospitalized adult cancer patients.Patient...

Yet, we did not observed any patient experiencing severe headaches leading to suspect intracranial hypertension. With rare exceptions (dysesthesias linked to meralgia paresthetica, C2 radicular neuralgia, isolated aphasia, upper limb transitory deficit), none of the disorders observed in our patients ...
Patients experiencing their first seizure were classified into three categories: a single epileptic seizure, a cluster of seizures within 24 h, and a first episode of status epilepticus [21], with the latter two requiring ASM for management. Subsequently, these patients were subdivided into two sub...
