identify areas of the heart muscle that would benefit from a procedure such as angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery (in combination with a myocardial perfusion scan). evaluate brain abnormalities, such as tumors, memory disorders, seizures and other central nervous system disorders. ...
FIRES, a recently named condition, occurs in previously healthy children who, after a brief fever, experience acute seizures that are resistant to medication and last for several weeks. After the seizures stop, children are left with severe cognitive dysfunction, mainly involving language, memory and...
For pets with epilepsy, consistent monitoring is essential. The dog epilepsy management app allows you to measure the regularity of seizures and includes a next-seizure prediction feature. This predictive dog health tool helps you prepare and manage epilepsy more effectively, providing peace of mind ...
A 61-year-old male patient presented with brain symptoms, including headache, nausea, right hemiplegia, and few attacks of seizures. He underwent brain computed tomography (CT) scan showing a brain lesion in the left parietal lobe. The patient underwent excisional biopsy, and brain lesion was ...
