Abstract Background Medium‐chain triglyceride (MCT) enriched diet has a positive effect on seizure control and behavior in some dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE). Objective To evaluate the short‐term efficacy of MCT...

Objective To investigate the alleviating effect of jujuboside B (JuB) on acute epilepsy in mice and its protective effect on hippocampal neurons. MethodsAn in vitro epilepsy model was established by stimulating primary h...

Abstract Background In dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE), 33% develop resistance to conventional anti‐seizure medication (ASM) despite adequate treatment. In human medicine, an immune‐mediated etiology is suspected ...

Abstract Background A standardized protocol for electroencephalography (EEG) under standing sedation for the investigation of epilepsy in foals is needed. Hypothesis/Objectives To evaluate a modified standardized EEG pro...

Children with epilepsy frequently experience a range of significant comorbidities beyond seizures, such as motor dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and neurodevelopmental delays. In some cases, these comorbidities contri...

Introduction The prevalence of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) among epilepsy patients has not decreased despite better diagnostic methods and treatment options because it affects approximately one-third of all epilepsy pa...

Abstract Background Factors affecting serum concentrations of levetiracetam in dogs are unknown and could affect the efficacy of levetiracetam in controlling seizures in dogs with epilepsy. Hypothesis/Objectives Higher P...

Abstract Background Juvenile idiopathic epilepsy (JIE) is categorized as a generalized epilepsy. Epilepsy classification entails electrocortical characterization and localization of epileptic discharges (ED) using electr...

Abstract This research was included partially purification of lipoxygenase (LOX) from serum of patients with epilepsy using ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis and ion-exchange chromatography with specific activity ...

Animal models of epilepsy are critical in drug development and therapeutic testing. However, dominant methods for evaluating epilepsy treatments face a tradeoff between higher throughput and etiological relevance. Screen...

BackgroundValproic acid (VPA) is widely used in pediatric epilepsy, but its blood concentrations vary considerably among pediatric patients with epilepsy. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing VPA blood...

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder of the brain that affects around 50 million people worldwide. The early detection of epileptic seizures using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is a useful tool for several ap...

Abstract Background Lesions causing refractory epilepsy, often associated with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), can be undetectable on standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in dogs. Automated brain volumetry, widely use...

Abstract Background Antiseizure medications (ASMs) are essential for seizure control, but they are also associated with a range of adverse events that may affect treatment outcomes. Objective This study aimed to evaluate...

Abstract Background Electroencephalography (EEG) recording protocols have been standardized for humans. Although the utilization of techniques in veterinary medicine is increasing, a standard protocol has not yet been es...

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the World Health Organization’s five item well-being index (WHO-5) when administered to adults living with HIV or epilepsy in ...

Neonatal seizures are most commonly attributed to hypoxic-ischaemic injury, metabolic abnormalities, or central nervous system infections; however, an increasing proportion of cases are recognised to have an underlying g...

Dissociative convulsions, a prominent form of dissociative (conversion) disorder formerly known as hysteria, are a common and elusive differential diagnosis from epilepsy. However, the treatment of such patients is alway...
