Recorded in Da he wai ke (The External Medicine of Da He) in the Ming dynasty without a corresponding disease title in contemporary scholarly concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Chiding disease was described as an acute symptomatic disease with inevitable serious conditions of
Napoleon Bonaparte was a general in the French army at 24 years of age, later conquering most of Europe. He was one of the greatest military geniuses the world has ever known, but also an extremely intelligent individual. Did he have seizures? The evidence shows that he had both psychogenic and
Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) was likely "the most incomparable general the world has ever seen." His name is often listed among the famous individuals in history who have had seizures. Examination of his illnesses reveals that in 333 BC he entered Tarsus, hot and exhausted, and plunged himself
The "Dictator Perpetuus" of the Roman Empire, the great Julius Caesar, was not the one for whom the well-known cesarean operation was named; instead, this term is derived from a Latin word meaning "to cut." Caesar likely had epilepsy on the basis of four attacks that were probably complex partial
Multiday exposures of CD-1 mice to He-O2 atmospheres at pressures from 30 to 100 atm result in marked increases of threshold pressures for type I high-pressure neurological syndrome seizures. The effect develops with a half time (t1/2) of 12 h and is reversible (t1/2 = 7 h). The maximum enhancement
To characterize the genetic basis of spike-wave discharges (SWDs) detected by electroencephalography (EEG) in C3H/He mice, substrains of C3H mice were evaluated by EEG and sensitivity to ethosuximide. Crosses with the SWD-negative strain C57BL/6J were performed to map the underlying gene(s). C3H/He
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to determine a daily therapeutic dose of carbamazepine and to measure its effect on reproductive performance and perinatal outcomes of mice.
METHODS
Adult C3H/He mice were given carbamazepine in rodent chow in either a 0.25% or a 1.0% mixture. Comparisons between
Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is a rare, clinically heterogeneous condition associated with positive thyroid autoantibodies. It is increasingly recognized as an important and treatable cause of autoimmune encephalopathy. Thyroid-associated antibodies such as thyroperoxidase (TPO) antibody,
We reported 2 patients with top of the basilar syndrome manifested by onset seizure. Patient 1 was a 76-year-old man. When he was sleeping, suddenly he gave a loud cry and went into convulsions. So he was brought to our hospital by ambulance. On admission, he had unconsciousness and left hemiplegia.
We report the rare case of a 34-year-old right-handed male who had drug-resistant epilepsy associated with a frontal cavernoma since the age of 13 who was convicted of criminal charges related to seizures. When he was 32 years old, he had a focal seizure with impaired awareness and then he tried to
We examined the effect of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-HE), a neurosteroid found in insects that is involved in their developmental process, on both tonic convulsion and absence-like seizure in spontaneously epileptic rat (SER). When 20-HE was given orally to SER at 25-200 mg/kg, significant decreases of
The tragic life of Vincent van Gogh is summarized, emphasizing his early departure from formal education, failure as a successful salesman in the art world, attempt at religious studies, difficulty with female and family relationships, return to the art world, and tendencies toward extremes of poor
Mike McKenna was tired of epilepsy controlling his life. For years, he tried different medications and therapies to no avail; his seizures, which occurred every three to six days, dictated what he could do and where he could live. Then, about ten years ago, he joined a clinical trial for a new,
A 31-year-old Japanese male was admitted to our hospital for refractory complex seizures. He had no history on medical or psychiatric illness. He began to exhibit aberrant behavior accompanied by cloudiness of consciousness. Thereafter, he exhibited partial seizures followed by a twilight state or
