sepsis/seizures

Pathologic changes of brain in five burned children with septicemia and epileptiform convulsion are reported in this article. The important findings are cerebral vasculitis, focal malacia, focal hemorrhage and cerebral edema. Author considers that these lesions result from the effect of bacterial

We report on seizures during anesthesia induction in animals treated with a cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) antagonist for experimental sepsis. Animals received surgery for colon ascendens stent peritonitis-induced sepsis or sham surgery followed by treatment of CB1R antagonist, CB1R agonist, or

Catabolites of purine nucleotides were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of newborn infants with sepsis, seizures and hydrocephalus using isocratic reversed-phase HPLC. The inosine levels in the CSF of the infants with any of the illnesses were significantly higher when compared with the

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between sepsis and the long-term risk of seizures. METHODS We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study using administrative claims data from all emergency department visits and hospitalizations at nonfederal acute care hospitals in California,

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. Sepsis is a condition which initiates a cascade of a surge of inflammatory mediators. Interplay between seizures and inflammation other than of brain origin is yet to be explored. The present study was designed to

An anorectal abscess, specifically a perianal abscess, is a relatively uncommon infection in children. It is a purulent fluid collection under the soft tissue outside the anus. Some of these abscesses may spontaneously drain and heal by themselves, while others may result in sepsis and require

This population-based observational study aimed to determine the perinatal factors that were associated with the occurrence of seizures in very low birthweight infants with periventricular leukomalacia. The study sample consisted of 545 infants from the Israel National Very Low Birthweight Infant

OBJECTIVE To identify the probable etiologies and characteristics of new-onset seizures after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and to assess their clinical implications and prognosis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical, electrophysiologic and laboratory data of 17 patients with

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency, etiology, the clinical types, and outcome of seizures in neonates during the course of stay in the neonatal unit. METHODS Cross-sectional study. METHODS Pediatric Department, LMCH, from February 2000 to April 2001. METHODS All neonates (1-28 days) presented with

OBJECTIVE Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is the most common surgical procedure for refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. When scalp electroencephalography cannot adequately identify an epileptogenic site, electrode implantation may be used to monitor epileptic activity and localize a target focus

OBJECTIVE To investigate the longitudinal course and prognostic value of amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) in infants with neonatal sepsis or meningitis. METHODS Amplitude integrated EEG recordings of 22 infants with sepsis/meningitis were retrospectively evaluated. Mean gestational age was 38 weeks
