Circadian and Multi-day Rhythms in Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure: A Probabilistic Approach
… fragmentation, and regularity, and generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) occurrences on the next day. We then conduct retrospective analyses of GTCS events phase-locking to rhythms in wrist electrodermal activity (EDA), validating previous claims. Ambulatory sleep-wake cycles and EDA recorded …

Continuous assessment of epileptic seizures with wrist-worn biosensors
… was more pronounced after generalized tonic-clonic seizures compared to complex partial seizures. Importantly, we found that the intensity of both sympathetic activation and parasympathetic suppression increased approximately linearly with duration of post-ictal EEG suppression, a …

Carbamazepine and its metabolites in epileptic patients
… for the treatment of both generalised epilepsy (tonic-clonic seizures) and partial epilepsy (with simple or complex symptomatology). This study was undertaken in an attempt to assess the role of the metabolites of carbamazepine, viz. 10, 11-epoxy-carbamazepine and 10, …

Health technology assessment for levetiracetam in the treatment of newly diagnosed epilepsy in the South African Public Health Sector
… Diseases (ICD)-10 code: G40.2) and generalized tonic-clonic seizures (ICD-10 code: G40.3). The population considered for the analysis was patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy expected to utilize services in the public health sector. The analysis consisted of a costeffectiveness analysis and a …

The scope of ECT practice in South Africa
… current to the brain in order to produce a tonic-clonic seizure which is deemed therapeutic. It is an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of severe mental illnesses such as major depression, mania and schizophrenia. Currently little is known about the characteristics of ECT …

SUSTAINABILITY, ENERGY AND ANIMAL WELFARE AT SLAUGHTER
… mechanical stunning (e.g., breathing, posture, tonic-clonic seizures, muscular tone, vocalisations, eye movements, reflexes, and blinking), their practical feasibility remains poorly explored. Variations in slaughterhouse facilities and operations – from small abattoirs to industrial settings – …

Valproic Acid-Induced Teratogenesis in Japanese Rice Fish (Oryzias Latipes) Embryogenesis
… acid is selected to treat absence seizures, myoclonic seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, atonic attacks and partial seizures. Epilepsy is the second most comneurologic disorder that affects pregnant women (0.5%–1%). Approximately 1 out of 250 pregnant women are taking antiepileptic …

EXPANSION OF CLINICAL PHENOTYPE AND USE OF KETOGENIC DIET IN RARE GENETIC CONDITIONS: GLUCOSE TRANSPORTER TYPE 1 DEFICIENCY SYNDROME AND SCN8A-RELATED DISORDERS
… gain-of-function variants; (4) focal and myoclonic epilepsy, a phenotype not previously described requiring further confirmation; and (5) unclassified epilepsy. Accurate interpretation of the variant’s function is crucial for phenotype definition, prognostic counselling, and therapeutic …

Molecular Substrates And Neuronal Network Subserving Audiogenic Kindling In Genetically Epilepsy-Prone Rats
… strain (GEPR-9s) are a model of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. GEPR-9s exhibit inherited susceptibility to audiogenic seizures (AGS) in response to intense acoustic stimulation. Several lines of evidence indicate that the neuronal network of AGS is primarily localized in the brainstem in …

The risk and severity of preeclampsia secondary to iodine deficiency and iodine deficiency-mediated subclinical hypothyroidism: mechanisms and early cardiovascular consequences
… further attenuates GABAB receptor mediated tonic extra-synaptic inhibition resulting in net motor neurone stimulation and increased predisposition to the involuntary tonic-clonic convulsions observed in eclampsia. Conclusion There is still a high prevalence of inadequate iodine intake in …
