The ketogenic diet has been in continuous use since 1921 for children and adult with medically-refractory epilepsy. One of the major unanswered questions is whether it would be as effective for children with new-onset epilepsy. Although logically, this would be the case, it remains to be shown in

Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide. In the United States, someone commits suicide every 13 minutes. Few treatments exist apart from in-patient hospitalization, medication, and psychotherapy. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an efficacious treatment
Infantile Spasms, historically call West Syndrome, is an infantile epileptic encephalopathy, typically occurring within the first two years of life. Infantile Spasms is often characterized by hypsarrhythmia on encephalogram (EEG) and developmental plateau or regression. It is estimated that
The main objective of this study is to determine if treating patients with calcitriol and calcium prior to thyroidectomy decreases postoperative hypocalcemia. The primary outcome to be measured is clinical hypocalcemia, defined as peri-oral numbness and/or tingling, numbness and/or tingling in
PPH occurs in approximately 1-5% of deliveries in the United States and accounts for 20-25% of maternal deaths worldwide. PPH is difficult to predict, but classically, risk factors for PPH- uterine atony, abruption, retained tissue, lacerations, infection, obesity, preeclampsia, magnesium
Hypocalcemia is defined as reduction in the level of the ionized calcium in the blood to less than 0.95 mmole/ litre.
In some cases it is associated with symptoms such as neuromuscular impairment in the form of convulsions ,carpopedal spasm,parathesia ,laryngiospasm ,stridor……etc .Calcium circulates
This is a prospective randomized trial comparing 3 treatment arms:
1. Cosyntropin Injectable Suspension, 1 mg/mL
2. Vigabatrin
3. Combination of both these therapies, Cosyntropin Injectable Suspension, 1 mg/mL and vigabatrin for treatment of new onset infantile spasms. Outcome measures include
Study Procedures Once the subject has agreed to participate in the study and has signed the consent form, the baseline visit can be performed. A full medical history will be taken and a physical exam will be done as per local routine practice for an embolization procedure. The Cognard scale will be
The central hypothesis of this Phase IIb trial is that early identification of electroencephalography (EEG) biomarkers and early treatment versus delayed treatment with vigabatrin in infants with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) will have a positive impact on developmental outcomes at 24 months of
Our primary outcome is to assess the safety of Dotarem in these patients up to 24 hours after Dotarem injection. The patients will be monitored in the hospital for at least 2 hours following the completion of the MRI exam. Many of these patients will have received sedation for the MRI and would be
A protocol amendment in May 2016 created two parts to this trial: Part A (the extended treatment period) and Part B (the safety treatment period), whose objectives are as follows:
Primary Part A: To evaluate the efficacy of Cannabidiol Oral Solution in treating refractory infantile spasms
The World Health Organization estimates that globally over 9 million infants die annually before birth or in the first few weeks of life, and that the majority of these deaths occur in the neonatal period. The bulk of these deaths result from pregnancy or delivery associated complications, premature
Background and Rationale for the study:
Infantile spasms (IS) is a rare, catastrophic age-specific epilepsy syndrome with onset within the first 12 months of life. The disorder is characterized clinically by epileptic spasms, often accompanied by developmental regression and a characteristic
Patients aged 10-19 years with idiopathic scoliosis, and classified as American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) class I to III who intended to undergo posterior spinal fusion for deformity correction were enrolled. Prior to surgery, subjects were randomized into either the experimental or control
