SeizureSex differenceThis article provides a succinct overview of sex differences in epilepsy and putative molecular mechanisms underlying sex differences in seizure susceptibility in chemical, genetic and acquired epileptogenesis. The susceptibility to excitability episodes and occurrence of epileptic seizures ...
Key Difference – Seizure vs. Epilepsy A seizure is an abnormal electoral activity of the brain which may or may not manifest as convulsions (abnormal movements), sensory abnormality, or autonomic and higher function abnormalities. Epilepsy is referred to diagnosed seizure disorder of a patient. Epi...
with seizures, and how to prevent seizures.What Is A Seizure?The brain is the control center of the body. The brain has 2 main parts: the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and the left side of the brain ...
Several factors can cause brain injury such as a stroke, use of drugs, fever, and more. By having these factors affect the brain, it can be severe enough to cause a seizure. Though brain injury can provoke seizures, other factors “such as increased physical activity, emotional stress, exce...
Epilepsy is defined by the seemingly random occurrence of spontaneous seizures. The ability to anticipate seizures would enable preventative treatment strategies. A central but unresolved question concerns the relationship of seizure timing to fluctuatin
Only one Epilepsy Surgery Inventory 55 subscale at 6 months and two subscales at 12 months showed a significant difference. Patients with good seizure outcome experience improved health-related quality of life after treatment. Since temporal lobectomy results in considerably better seizure control than ...
of high-quality research papers documented in English and a difference in the understanding of antiepileptic effects of acupuncture between the scientists of East and West, the application of acupuncture in the treatment of epilepsy is limited in Western community. In this chapter, we attempt to ...
Epilepsy surgery is the treatment of choice for drug-resistant epilepsy patients. However, seizure-freedom is currently achieved in only 2/3 of the patients after surgery. In this study we have developed an individualized computational model based on MEG
To evaluate the stringency of the criteria, we calculated the risk of fatal traffic crashes by epileptic seizure and compared that to the risk of fatal traffic crashes among the general population. Methods Nation-wide questionnaire surveys to physicians and their patients with epilepsy were conducted...
In recent years, there has been an intense discovery effort to find more efficacious and better tolerated drugs that target GABA-mediated inhibition. In this review, we focus on the important role of GABA in the modulation of neuronal excitability and seizure activity and control, and we review...
