Genetic predisposition to febrile convulsions: a preliminary study

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 1980
The participation of genetic factors in the origin of convulsive disorders is a controversial matter. In an attempt to study the influence of heredity in a selected group of patients, we evaluated 128 subjects that presented febrile febrile convulsions ...

Elevated Connectivity During Language Processing Is Associated With Cognitive Performance in SeLECTS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Self‐Limited Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (SeLECTS) is associated with language impairments despite seizures originating in the motor cortex, suggesting aberrant cross‐network interactions. Here we tested whether functional connectivity in SeLECTS during language tasks predicts language performance.

Do Antipyretics Prevent Febrile Convulsions?

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2003
A frequently held opinion that antipyretic medications may prevent febrile seizures (FS) in at risk children was investigated by pediatricians at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup, Kent, UK.

Autoimmune Encephalitis in Acute Care—Pathology, Diagnosis, and Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is characterized by immune‐mediated inflammation of the brain parenchyma, presenting with various neurological syndromes, including but not limited to seizures, altered consciousness, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and movement disorders.

The Role of the Gut Microbiota in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo‐HCT) is an effective treatment for patients with high‐risk hematologic malignancies. Over the last decade, gut microbiota composition during allo‐HCT has been associated with patients' outcomes.

[Febrile convulsions].

Revista de medicina de la Universidad de Navarra, 1980
Febrile convulsions occur in 3.4 percent of children but are rarely a harbinger of epilepsy. However, children who have two or more uncomplicated, noncomplex or "simple" febrile convulsions should receive anticonvulsant therapy. Phenobarbital is recommended for children who have a single febrile convulsion that is unilateral or focal and lasts more ...

Evidence favoring genetic heterogeneity for febrile convulsions.

, 2000
PURPOSE: Two large Canadian kindreds appearing to segregate febrile convulsions as an autosomal dominant trait were evaluated for linkage to three known FC loci, as well as other epilepsy loci.

Clinical, Behavioral and Neuroradiological Phenotype in an Italian Cohort of Patients With Xia Gibbs Syndrome: A Multicenter Cross‐Sectional Study and Systematic Literature Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous variants in the AHDC1 gene are associated with Xia Gibbs Syndrome (XGS), a genetic disorder with a highly variable phenotype. Cognitive impairment, motor delay, language delay, neonatal hypotonia, and sleep apnea are considered “cardinal” signs of the disease.
