[...]Adherence to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among Hondurans with epilepsy were evaluated. Our epilepsy cohort of 274 outpatients was surveyed to determine demographics, epilepsy treatment history, adherence, and use of CAM.[...]epilepsy were also interviewed to gain an understanding of their beliefs and longstanding practices regarding epilepsy. Seventeen (34.7%) attributed epilepsy to the supernatural; only three knew of an AED.[...]

[...]Selective amygdalohippocampectomy SAHE has been pioneered by Yasargil et al in the mid 1970 within the scope of surgical treatment for intractable mesial temporal lobe epilepsy MTLE. In this article, the author has emphasized microsurgical points to be kept in mind in carrying out the procedure from the experience of just more than 200 surgeries performed by himself during the last 14 years.[...]Historical backgrounds of development of this technique, necessary topographic anatomy, perioperative management and our results were also presented. (1) Simple temporal lobectomy (S-lobectomy)--> Epilepsy temporal lobectomy (E-lobectomy)--> SAHE has been the way of development, in which the amygdala and [...]1: AchoA should be preserved at any cost. 2: hemorrhagic diathesis due to longstanding medication of antiepileptics especially valproate should be corrected with fresh frozen plasma FFP, thrombocyte-preparation and/or Minirin. (6) Good results (Engel I+II) to stop or alleviate intractable [...]

[...]OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the apolipoprotein (ApoE) epsilon4 allele and memory performance (verbal and nonverbal) in patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) who underwent temporal lobectomy. METHODS: Presurgical and postsurgical memory performance was examined in 87 adult [...] in this population and to examine how this relationship may be affected by duration of epilepsy. RESULTS: There was a significant interaction between ApoE-epsilon4 status and duration of epilepsy such that epsilon4 carriers with a long duration of [...]This relationship was observed both before and after temporal lobectomy, with little change in test performance over time. CONCLUSIONS: The ApoE-epsilon4 allele interacts with longstanding seizures to affect memory performance, both verbal and nonverbal, in patients with medically intractable [...]

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Brain tumours responsible for longstanding partial epilepsy are characterised by a high prevalence of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour (DNT), whose natural evolution is much more benign than that of [...]

[...]Cerebellar atrophy is assumed to be a common finding in patients suffering from epilepsy. Anticonvulsants as well as seizure activity itself have been considered to be responsible for it but many studies have addressed these questions in specialised centres for [...]Volumetry on 3D-MRI yields reliable quantitative data which shows that cerebellar atrophy might be common in severe and/or longstanding epilepsy but not necessarily in unselected patient groups. The results do not support the proposition that [...]

[...]BACKGROUND: Self-rated health and limiting longstanding illness are both widely used global measures of health, but understanding is poor of their meaning and validity at younger ages. METHODS: We examined the association between self-rated health and limiting longstanding illness and specific health problems at two ages (23 and 33 years), and assessed change over the 10-year period for each health measure relative to another.[...]RESULTS: Self-rated health and limiting longstanding illness were strongly associated with each other as well as with specific health problems, particularly with serious conditions (e.g. epilepsy, cancer, diabetes) and more weakly with less serious conditions (e.g. eczema and [...]

Epilepsy was present in 4 of 19 patients with SMS and GAD-A, implying that epilepsy sometimes is associated with anti-GAD [...] with high levels of GAD-A had GAD-A both in serum and CSF by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Both of them had longstanding therapy-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy but did not have diabetes. One had a history of autoimmune disease[...]

OMS-M patients also displayed a lower age at onset of illness and a higher level of [...]The most striking distinguishing feature of OMS-M was the prevalence of neurological disorders, with a surprisingly high prevalence of seizure disorders. Seizure disorders were more prevalent in OMS-M than in other organic brain syndromes ([...]
