(range, 1ES/6m-3ES/m); n=21/31 (67.70%) dogs developed CS 1-18 months after initiation of treatment; n=7/31 (22.60%) dogs experienced unacceptable adverse events in the first month of treatment which required s
The question is whether a “seizure-odour”, that would be transversal to individuals and types of seizures, exists. This would be a pre requisite for potential anticipation, either by electronic systems (e.g., e-noses) or trained dogs. The aim of the present study therefore was to test ...
A warning system could support new treatment approaches and improve a patient's quality of life. For example, such a system could inform patients' daily routines and help them to avoid dangerous situations when at higher risk of seizure. Tracking fluctuations in seizure likelihood could also be ...
A recent study showed that dogs could be trained to differentiate between the body odor emitted by patients during a seizure and the patients’ normal body odor, independently of the type or etiology of the seizure13. This discovery reveals that epileptic seizures have an olfactory signature, gene...
In a small, single-arm, open label, uncontrolled clinical trial eight cats suffering from idiopathic epilepsy were treated with imepitoin twice daily at doses of 30 mg/kg bodyweight for 30 days. Four of these cats (50%) achieved seizure freedom for at least 8 weeks under treatment. ...
23 In our patient, the maintenance of con- sciousness suggests to us that the mechanism may be primarily spinal. 5 Previous treatmentofpropofol-inducedopisthotonos In some instances, clinicians have treated this disorder as an extrapyramidal side effect or a drug-induced seizure. However, ...
Diagnosed with dyslexia at 6 while undergoing treatment for epilepsy, Korcan discovered his passion for swimming, a sport that would become his outlet for growth and triumph. Within a short span of time, he has garnered remarkable success, earning over 150 medals in regional and national tournam...
The epileptogenic zone (EZ) is a theoretical abstract defined as the cortical area that causes epileptic discharges, the resection of which leads to seizure freedom. From:Epilepsy & Behavior,2021 Also in subject areas: Nursing and Health Professions ...
Accumulated energy increased in the 50 min before seizure onset, compared to baseline. These observations, from a small number of patients, suggest that epileptic seizures may begin as a cascade of electrophysiological events that evolve over hours and that quantitative measures of preseizure ...
Paroxysmal seizure-like events are one of the most common causes of admission to neurological services in small animal practice. With a prevalence ranging between 0.5 % and 5.0 % amongst a general non-referral population of dogs, with higher number of dogs being affected in specific breeds [1–...
