Pseudo-Petit Mal Discharge: A Marker of Favorable Prognosis in Febrile Seizure
Objective:To investigate whether pseudo-petit mal discharge is a useful marker of epilepsy on electroencephalogram in patients with recurrent febrile seizures.Methods:The retrospective study included 255 out of 1255 children aged 6-66 months that were ...

Auras in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and mesial temporal sclerosis. [PDF]
We investigated auras in patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS). We also investigated the clinical differences between patients with MTS and abdominal auras and those with MTS and non-mesial temporal

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

Persistently modified h-channels after complex febrile seizures convert the seizure-induced enhancement of inhibition to hyperexcitability. [PDF]
Febrile seizures are the most common type of developmental seizures, affecting up to 5% of children. Experimental complex febrile seizures involving the immature rat hippocampus led to a persistent lowering of seizure threshold despite an upregulation of

The investigators wanted to learn more about whether a common condition called “febrile seizures” was harmful to the brain.1 They also looked at whether they could increase the risk of developing epilepsy later. Febrile seizures are defined as seizures that occur in children with a high fever (over 101°F).

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Management of febrile seizure and differentiating it from epilepsy: A short review
Febrile seizure is the most common seizures seen in infancy and pre-school era. They are mostly benign in nature. There are two categories of febrile seizures, simple and complex. Both the International League against Epilepsy and the American academy of

Serum interleukin-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in febrile seizures: is there a link? [PDF]
PurposeFebrile seizures are induced by fever and are the most common type of seizures in children. Although numerous studies have been performed on febrile seizures, their pathophysiology remains unclear. Recent studies have shown that cytokines may play
