Genetic complexity of absence seizures in substrains of C3H mice.

15 Dec 2009 Absence epilepsy is a common form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy whose etiology is poorly understood because of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. The inbred mouse strain C3H/He exhibits spontaneous absence seizures characterized by spike and ... Read more...

Vagus nerve stimulation for refractory epilepsy in children: More to VNS than seizure frequency reduction.

13 Dec 2009 PURPOSE: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is used increasingly as adjunctive therapy for refractory epilepsy. Studies of VNS in children report mainly seizure frequency reduction as a measure of efficacy and clinical details are often scanty. We report ... Read more...

Lower bispectral index values in children who are intellectually disabled.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Very few data are available on the use of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in children who are intellectually disabled. Epileptiform electroencephalogram activity, underlying cerebral pathology, or anticonvulsant/spasmolytic therapy ... Read more...
