As time passes from when data is sampled, the prediction window narrows leaving the patient less prepared in case of a seizure. Also, in a mobile device, this process should be computationally cheap. Of course, training the neural network has no time constraints, as training will not be a ...
Although different studies have shown that diseases such as breast or lung cancer are associated with specific bodily odours, no study has yet tested the possibility that epileptic seizures may be reflected in an olfactory profile, probably because there is a large variety of seizure types. The qu...
Results could potentially be improved by additional processing, such as disabling the alarm for some period after the onset of a seizure or during sleep, by including patient-specific requirements, or by incorporating environment-aware sensors that may track possible patient-specific seizure triggers....
(1) the earliest EEG change associated with seizures: this point in time was found by identifying unequivocal seizure activity on the EEG and then moving backward in time to the point at which the first clear, sustained change from the patient's EEG baseline prior to the seizure was detected...
Epilepsy is a disease of high prevalence, being well known since thousands of years as “morbus sacer.” In spite of intensive investigations, the pathophysiology of epilepsy is still poorly understood. Studies with various animal models have provided am
Traditionally, histological investigations of the epileptic brain are required to identify epileptogenic brain lesions, to evaluate the impact of seizure activity, to search for mechanisms of drug-resistance and to look for comorbidities. For many instan
In brain surgery of focal epilepsy, the goal is to remove the epileptogenic zone, localised by electroencephalography or functional MRI. The semiology and course, however, may be influenced by brain regions that act as seizure modifiers (e.g. claustrum) or propagators (e.g. hippocampus). Th...
PhenobarbitalThe aim of this study was to evaluate changes in epileptic seizures (ES) frequency and semiology in antiepileptic-medication (AEM)-naive dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (DIE) after initiation of imepitoin (IMP) or phenobarbital (PB) monotherapy. In this observational prospective cohort ...

In subject area: Medicine and Dentistry 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
