ABSTRACT This article discusses the seizure of assets owned by the participants in the Minas Gerais State separatist movement known as the Inconfidência Mineira in Brazil, and whether these seizure records may serve as ...

Abstract Background Midazolam delivered by continuous rate infusion (CRI) might be effective in dogs with cluster seizures (CS) or status epilepticus (SE). Objective To describe the use and safety of midazolam CRI in dog...

Abstract Background Seizures triggered by eating (STE) behavior are very rare in humans and have not been documented previously in dogs. Objectives To document the occurrence of STE in dogs and describe their clinical fe...

Abstract Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder giving rise to both recurrent and spontaneous seizures as well as additional neurological comorbidities. In approximately 30% of patients, seizures are not ameliorated ...

Background: Febrile seizures are common in children under five, with simple seizures being brief and harmless, while complex seizures have higher risks. Incidence and recurrence are influenced by age, family history, imm...

Abstract Objective: To report a case of post-electroconvulsive therapy spontaneous seizures in a patient medicated with sertraline, bupropion and risperidone. Case description: A 53-year-old woman with recurrent majo...

The N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is involved in synaptic plasticity, learning, memory, and neurological diseases like epilepsy and it is the major mediator of excitotoxicity. Functional NMDARs in the mature brai...

Background Juvenile‐onset spinocerebellar ataxia has been recognized in Jack Russell Terriers and related Russell group terriers (RGTs) for over 40 years. Ataxia occurs with varying combinations of myokymia, seizures,...

Abstract Background Evidence‐based recommendations for antiepileptic drug selection in cats beyond phenobarbital are limited, and additional studies are needed for cats where seizures remain inadequately controlled by ...

Abstract Background Seizure emergencies (ie, status epilepticus [SE] and cluster seizures [CS]), are common challenging disorders with complex pathophysiology, rapidly progressive drug‐resistant and self‐sustaining c...

Purpose: Previous studies from a few countries have reported semiological differences in younger children compared with adolescents or adults with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNESs). This study tested the hypothes...

Abstract Background Focal epileptic motor seizures manifested by limb contraction have been recognized anecdotally in Pomeranians. Objectives To investigate clinical features of idiopathic epilepsy (IE) and epilepsy of u...

Introduction: Febrile Seizures (FS) are common in early childhood, and bedside biochemical testing is frequently ordered despite mixed evidence regarding underlying biochemical drivers. Clarifying which analytes truly di...

Abstract Background Neonatal seizures are sudden, abnormal brain activities that occur during the neonatal period, are the most common neurological emergencies in newborns, and are associated with high morbidity and mort...

Abstract Background Seizures are a common presenting sign in dogs with brain tumors. Hypothesis/Objectives To investigate the effect of radiotherapy on freedom from brain tumor‐associated seizures and survival time in ...

ABSTRACT In human medicine, focal seizures can clinically express as autonomic signs, such as gastrointestinal dysfunction, cardiovascular changes, and variation of pupillary size; but little is known about possible pres...

Abstract Background Seizures in the early postoperative period after intracranial surgery may affect outcome in dogs. Objectives To determine the incidence of early postoperative seizures (EPS) in dogs with brain tumors,...

ObjectivePatients seen for uncontrolled seizures in a Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) often undergo tracheal intubation (TI). We looked at factors associated with TI in children in a safety net hospital.MethodsThis w...

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...

Abstract Background Treatment options for at‐home management of cluster seizures (CS) and status epilepticus (SE) are limited. The pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam (LEV) after rectal administration in both healthy and...

Abstract Background Nonconvulsive seizures (NCS) and nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) are frequently observed in human patients. Diagnosis of NCS and NCSE only can be achieved by the use of electroencephalography ...

Abstract Background Seizures are considered a clinical sign in dogs with internal hydrocephalus but are not found in recent studies. Seizure prevalence due to ventricular enlargement and the prevalence of postoperative s...
