Companion animal epilepsy papers reflect a variety of modifications of the definitions of epilepsy and epileptic seizures derived from the core classification documents of the ILAE (e.g. [ 1, 7, 9– 17, 17, 23– 27, 28, 28, 30– 38, 38– 46].
The adjusted malaria-attributable fractions for all acute symptomatic seizures were derived at parasitaemia levels ≥2500/µl since this threshold was shown to be associated with malaria illnesses in previous studies in this area (Mwangi et al., 2005; Bejon et al., 2007) and is associated with high sensitivities and specificities in this study.
In the case of H.P. Acthar Gel, an injectable anti-seizure medication derived from hog hormones, the fourteenfold price increase came after the maker, Questcor Pharmaceuticals, gave exclusive distribution rights to Express Scripts' CuraScript unit last summer.
This definition of electrographic seizure was derived empirically, since this ensured that a clear onset and frequency evolution could be observed within the ECoG sample.
As well as seizures, cannabis or substances derived from it have been shown to be helpful in alleviating pain and muscle spasms, and studies suggest it may also be a useful component of cancer therapy.
A combined seizure index (CSI) is derived from all EEG signal channels depending on the rhythmicity and relative energy of signal epochs for classification as seizure or non-seizure.
All seizure onset zones, as derived from intracranial EEG monitoring, either overlapped or where immediately adjacent to the detected lesions in all surgical patients (classification criterion 1 [see Methods]).
The ROC curve derived for seizure duration more than 25 seconds indicated a threshold pre-ictal AAI of 26 (AUC: 0.76, p < 0.001; sensitivity of 71%, specificity of 74%; positive predictive value of 34% and negative predictive value of 93%).
Our data cofirm previous evidences, that long-term neuronal consequences of high-dose cholinergic activation are not necessarily derived from prolonged seizure activation (as seen in SE) [18].
Brown's rather general reference to "the degree to which the seizure advances the public interest" was derived, as the opinion makes clear, from the line of cases culminating in Martinez-Fuerte, supra.
A description of operational initiatives to improve detection and prosecution of money laundering and related financial crimes and the seizure and forfeiture of proceeds and instrumentalities derived from such crimes.
