Patient-specific seizure onset detection
… those affected to experiencing recurrent seizures. The risk of injury associated with epileptic seizures might be mitigated by the use of a device that can reliably detect or predict the onset of seizure episodes and then warn caregivers of the event. In a hospital this device could also …

Search and seizure in education
… Supreme Court cases relating to search and seizure generally, and Supreme Court, federal and state court cases relating specifically to search and seizure in education. The purpose of this study was to identify those concepts, doctrines and principles of law governing searches and seizures …

The Risk of Seizure Recurrence Following a First Unprovoked Seizure in Childhood: An Extended Follow-Up
… to treat children following a first unprovoked seizure has been a controversial issue. Results of long-term outcome after a first unprovoked seizure in children are extremely variable. Untoward effects of long-term AEDs(antiepileptic drugs), especially cognitive dysfunction and behavioral …

Seizure prediction and control in epilepsy
… two decades in the attempt to forecast epileptic seizure on the basis of intracranial and scalp EEG. Past research could reveal some value of linear and nonlinear algorithms to detect EEG features changing over different phases of the epileptic cycle. However, their exact value for seizure …

IDENTIFYING THE GENETIC MECHANISMS IN SEIZURE THRESHOLD REGULATION
… defined by having recurrent and spontaneous seizures. The susceptibility to seizure is determined by seizure threshold, which describes the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain. Epileptogenesis, the transition from normal brain to epileptic brain, is …

Identifying the Seizure Onset Zone using Intracranial EEG-fMRI
… an effective technique for identification of the seizure onset zone (SOZ) in patients with refractory epilepsy. Recent studies have shown that using intracranial electrodes (iEEG) combined with fMRI offers unique insight into changes in blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) responses associated with …

Long-term, subdermal implantable EEG recording and seizure detection
… Many patients, however, have intermittent seizures occurring far less frequent. Patients cannot come into the hospital for weeks on end in order for a seizure to be captured on EEG-a necessary prerequisite for making a definitive diagnosis, tailoring therapy, or even establishing the true …

The Matson and Mayville (M&M) seizure scale: an assessment of psychological and environmental variables contributing to seizure activity in persons with mental retardation
Seizure activity can be debilitating across a number of physical, social, occupational, and personal domains. Given the deficits in all of these areas frequently present in persons with mental retardation, the control and elimination of seizures is a primary goal for individuals with both mental …

IMPROVED SEGMENTATION FOR AUTOMATED SEIZURE DETECTION USING CHANNEL-DEPENDENT POSTERIORS
… of a critical event, such as an epileptic seizure, is difficult because the signals are collected by transducing extremely low voltages, and as a result, are corrupted by noise. Also, EEG signals often contain artifacts due to clinical phenomena such as patient movement. These artifacts are …

Seizure development in kindling fast and kindling slow rat strains
… models, based on the susceptibility to various seizure provoking stimuli, have been developed to examine the underlying mechanisms of genetically determined seizure disorders. One such model is based on the susceptibility to amygdala kindling stimulation in two selectively bred rat strains. In …

Role of Endogenous Prostaglandins on Kainic Acid Induced Seizure Activity
… COX-2 inhibitors aggravates the epileptic seizure. Pretreatments with NSAID(nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) including COX-2 inhibitors such as indomethacin, nimesulide and celecoxib is known to aggravate the kainic acid(KA)-induced seizure activity. However it is not known whether the …

Ethosuximide, a T-type Calcium Channel Antagonist, Reduces Alcohol Withdrawal Seizure
… other adverse side effects can induce withdrawal seizures. Alcohol withdrawal seizures are a major component of relapse and represent a significant barrier to recovery. Unfortunately, alcohol withdrawal seizures can cause more serious consequences such as status epilepticus and temporal lobe …

Acts of war: the Southern seizure of Federal property, 1860-1861
… these aggressive measures demonstrate that the seizures were acts of war and show that the Civil War actually began long before Edmund Ruffin fired that famous first shot at Fort Sumter.

Epileptic Seizure Detection And Prediction From Electroencephalogram Using Neuro-Fuzzy Algorithms
… approaches based on fuzzy logic in epileptic seizure detection and prediction from Electroencephalogram (EEG). The fuzzy rule-based algorithms were developed with the aim to improve quality of life of epilepsy patients by utilizing intelligent methods. An adaptive fuzzy logic system was …
-
Automatic detection of epileptic seizure onset and termination using intracranial EEG
… addresses the problem of real-time epileptic seizure detection from intracranial EEG (IEEG). One difficulty in creating an approach that can be used for many patients is the heterogeneity of seizure IEEG patterns across different patients and even within a patient. In addition, simultaneously …

Application of machine learning to epileptic seizure onset detection and treatment
… individuals to experiencing recurrent seizures. It affects 3 million Americans and 50 million people world-wide. A seizure is a transient aberration in the brain's electrical activity that produces disruptive physical symptoms such as a lapse in attention and memory, a sensory …
