Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy [PDF]

, 2014
Aim: The molecular mechanism of epileptogenesis in temporal lobe epilepsy is still unclear. Experimental studies have suggested that matrix metalloproteinases have important roles in this process, but human studies are limited.

Seminars in epileptology: How to diagnose status epilepticus in adults and children

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) can be regarded as the most severe expression of seizure activity characterized by a low probability of spontaneous cessation and mechanisms leading to metabolic and inflammatory derangements with increased risk of brain damage, alterations of neural networks, and potentially life‐threatening systemic complications ...

Febrile seizures Familial risk factors, outcome and preventive use of antipyretic drugs [PDF]

, 1997
Febrile seizures (FS) occur in early childhood during a febrile illness. A typical or simple FS is characterized by a sudden loss of consciousness with either stiffening and myoclonic jerking or total loss of muscle tone.

Endogenous neuropeptide Y prevents recurrence of experimental febrile seizures by increasing seizure threshold. [PDF]

, 2005
Febrile seizures (FSs) typically occur at the onset of fever and do not recur within the same febrile episode despite enduring or increased hyperthermia.

Co‐occurrence of childhood absence epilepsy and self‐limited focal epilepsy interictal discharges: Differences from childhood absence epilepsy alone

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Some children with Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) exhibit focal abnormalities similar to those observed in Self‐Limited Focal Epilepsies of Childhood (SeLFEs). It remains unclear whether this subgroup of patients may present distinct clinical characteristics or prognoses compared to those with CAE and generalized discharges alone ...

The Role of Seizure-Related SEZ6 as a Susceptibility Gene in Febrile Seizures

Neurology Research International, 2011
Sixty cases of febrile seizures from a Chinese cohort had previously been reported with a strong association between variants in the seizure-related (SEZ) 6 gene and febrile seizures. They found a striking lack of genetic variation in their controls.

Diagnostic Challenges in the Neuropsychology of Epilepsy: Report of the ILAE Neuropsychology Task Force Diagnostic Methods Commission: 2021–2025

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Increasingly, it has been recognized that non‐seizure‐related factors influence how people with epilepsy perform on neuropsychological tests. Therefore, neuropsychologists need to recognize the constellation of factors that can contribute to the neurocognitive presentation of a person with epilepsy and consider these factors in the ...

A Follow Up Study of Admitted Febrile Seizure Patients with Respect to Recurrence of Febrile or Afebrile Seizures

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Shahīd Ṣadūqī Yazd, 2009
Introduction: Febrile seizure is the most common type of seizure that occurs in 3– 4% of children below the age of 5 years. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of recurrence of febrile and afebrile seizures after the first febrile ...

Febrile seizures and mechanisms of epileptogenesis: insights from an animal model. [PDF]

, 2004
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most prevalent type of human epilepsy, yet the causes for its development, and the processes involved, are not known.

Dexamethasone Attenuates Hyperexcitability Provoked by Experimental Febrile Status Epilepticus. [PDF]

, 2019
The role of neuroinflammation in the mechanisms of epilepsy development is important because inflammatory mediators provide tractable targets for intervention.
