Abstract

Diagnosis of primary generalised seizures may be not precise because difficulties exist with the assessment of information of focal onset of these seizures. The aim was to examine if the careful searching for partial component of seizures is necessary in children with so called primary generalized seizures. The examined group included 45 children aged 6 month to 18 year (mean 11 year) within 19 girls and 26 boys, hospitalized during the year 2006 in the Department of Pediatric Neurology UJ CM in Krakow. The history indicated the primary generalized character of seizures. The tonic-clonic seizures were observed in 39 children, myoclonic in 3, infantile spasms in 1 and absence in other 2. In 6 patients familiar epilepsy was diagnosed in first-degree cousins. Neuropediatric examination was normal apart from 4 children with dysmorphic features of the face. Intellectual development was normal in 43 children, however it was close to the lower range in one and mildly delayed in the other one. Generalized paroxysmal bioelectric activity was detected in 43 children and in 2 children EEG pattern was normal. MRI was performed in SE T1, FSE T2, PD, FLAIR and IR T1 sequences with 3 or 5 millimetre thickness of layer in the sagital, coronal ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
