	Epilepsy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Epileptic seizures are classified both by their patterns of activity in the brain and their effects on behaviour.
		Epileptic seizures may occur in any person under certain circumstances, including acute illness and drug overdoses, but these provoked seizures are not part of the definition of epilepsy.
		In most cases, the proper emergency response to a generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizure is simply to prevent the patient from self-injury by moving him or her away from sharp edges, placing something soft beneath the head, and carefully rolling the person onto his or her side to avoid asphyxiation.

	American Hearing Research Foundation (AHRF) Epileptic Vertigo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Epileptic vertigo is due to brain injury, typically the part of the temporal lobe that processes vestibular signals.
		Epileptic vertigo is felt to be caused by abnormal stimulation of parts of the cortex that represent the vestibular system -- parietal, temporal and frontal cortex.
		Epileptic vertigo is only a diagnostic problem when the person does not have a full seizure --in other words, they do not have convulsions, psychomotor symptoms or twitching characteristic of classic partial or generalized seizures.

		Benign rolandic epilepsy is an epileptic syndrome occurring in young children that is age limited (you stop having seizures in the teen years).
		Epileptic seizures and pseudoseizures are distinguishable both by their nature and symptoms, but the diagnosis can be difficult.
		Epileptic seizures are caused by a change in how the brain cells send electrical signals to each other, while pseudoseizures are triggered by a conscious or unconscious desire for more care and attention.

	Full moon exerts no pull on frequency of epileptic seizures
		The researchers divided the seizures into epileptic seizures, those caused by electrical disruptions in the brain, and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, those that are not caused by brain electrical disruptions and tend to be emotional.
		The most epileptic seizures, 152, were recorded in the moon's last quarter.
		The researchers found epileptic seizures decreased to their lowest number, 94, during the full moon.

	Isoforms of serum γ-glutamyltransferase in epileptic patients treated with enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant drugs.
		GT isoforms was made in 90 adult epileptic patients under chronic treatment with phenobarbital, phenytoin and carbamazepine in polytherapy.
		A group of 90 epileptic patients (56 males and 34 female) with a mean age (± SEM) of 38.0 ± 1.5 years was studied, who had been treated for more than 10 years with phenobarbital (n=60), phenytoin (n=70) and carbamazepine (n=33).
		However, in epileptic patients, the evaluation of the γGT3 isoform may be advisable in its biochemical monitoring as a sensitive marker of cholestasis produced by anticonvulsant drugs.

	Epilepsy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Epileptic seizures are triggered by abnormalities in the brain that cause a group of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex to become activated simultaneously, emitting sudden and excessive bursts of electrical energy that lead to seizures.
		Small strokes, called transient ischemic attacks, are often difficult to distinguish from mild epileptic seizures, and, in fact, a first seizure in an adult might be a precursor to stroke.
		With epileptic seizure, the preceding aura is often seen as multiple, brightly colored, circular spots, while migraine sufferers tend to see fl, white, or colorless lined or zigzag flickering patterns.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mohammed and Mohammedanism (Islam)
		He was a man of retiring disposition, addicted to prayer and fasting, and was subject to epileptic fits.
		In his fortieth year (A.D. 612), he claimed to have received a call from the Angel Gabriel, and thus began his active career as the prophet of Allah and the apostle of Arabia.
		Zwemer himself goes on to criticize the life of Mohammed by the standards, first, of the Old and New Testaments, both of which Mohammed acknowledged as Divine revelation; second, by the pagan morality of his Arabian compatriots; lastly, by the new law of which he pretended to be the "divinely appointed medium and custodian".

	EPILEPSY AND EPILEPTIC SEIZURES
		It is a series of misfires of the neurosynaptic function that ultimately sends confused signals to the body, which creates the uncontrolled fits.
		Once a therapeutic level of drug is reached, the dog should have a blood test once a year at vaccination time to monitor the Phenobarbital levels and liver function.
		The most important safeguard for living with an epileptic pet is to be well informed by your veterinarian and to know how to manage the disease.

		Seventy percent of the epileptic patients can gain control of their seizures with one medication.
		For children whose seizures don't respond to medication, the diet is an effective alternative, but Freeman cautions that it should be used only under controlled circumstances with the appropriate nutritional and medical supervision.

	Rensselaer researchers develop heat spreader for epileptic seizure treatment device
		The implant device is designed to detect and arrest epileptic seizures as they begin by cooling a small region of the brain, thereby effectively blocking the erratic electrical activity.
		Implanted on the neocortex of the brain, close to where erratic electrical activity is causing the epileptic seizure, the implant device is designed to detect the unusual level of electrical activity that accompanies these types of seizures.
		The implant device then is activated to cool a small area of the brain from approximately 38°C (100°F) to 20°C (68°F) to render that part of the brain temporarily non-functional and seizure-free, according to researchers.

	What is Epilepsy all about
		Most people will have seen someone suffer a major epileptic seizure, suddenly losing consciousness, jerking the arms and legs, etc. But there are other types of epilepsy - for example, one common form of epilepsy in children merely consists of staring blankly and losing contact with the surroundings for a few seconds.
		What makes it a little confusing is that a partial seizure may occasionally go on to become generalised, if the epileptic discharge originating in one area of the brain is strong enough to then spread to the whole brain.
		As mentioned, it is possible that each form of partial seizure may, if the epileptic disturbance is strong enough, occasionally lead to a generalised tonic-clonic seizure.

		In the cross sectional study of reporting of epileptic seizures to general practitioners by Dalrymple and Appleby (1), errors must exist in the data on patients with driving licence shown in the first row of Table 2.
		First, although no mention was made of patients’ concealment of driving licence in the original paper (2), Dalrymple (1) stated in his reply that 18 patients had concealed the possession of a driving licence.
		This does not appear to be the case, as the total number of patients (111) in the analysis in table 1 and table 2 remains unchanged.

		Decreased heart rate variability is well known to increase the vulnerability of the cardioregulatory centers, leading to an increase in ventricular automaticity and thus to arrhythmias.
		The mechanism of dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in epileptic seizures may be multifactorial.
		An example of these changes is the interictal hypometabolism seen in the area adjacent to the epileptic foci on positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning studies.

	Can Dogs Be Trained To Detect Epileptic Seizures
		Deb Dalziel is a scientific researcher, and like most scientists, she tends to be pretty skeptical of theories that have not been proven conclusively.
		She was intrigued by the popularly held notion that certain dogs have an ability to detect epileptic seizures before the seizures are evident to humans.
		Of this pool, 30 owned dogs, and five percent of these 30 individuals "reliably" reported that their dogs demonstrated distinct behavior signifying the onset of a seizure.

	Is there an epileptic personality? : Epilepsy.com
		Through the 20th century, many writings in the field of psychiatry referred to "the epileptic personality," an interictal syndrome thought to include explosive impulsivity, affective viscosity (the tendency to prolong interactions with others), and egocentricity (overriding concern with the self).
		Some thought that this syndrome was the result of underlying neurologic factors, but others felt that these personality traits represented a distinct form of epilepsy in themselves.
		In the end, it appears that the full range of behavioral features of the interictal personality disorder or "epileptic personality" is very rarely seen in a single individual.
