(1) The process(es) involved in the interaction of MEG and MBG on the atrial preparation have also been studied to provide insight into possible CNS mechanism(s) that may be involved in the related central phenomena of drug-induced analepsis and anticonvulsant action.
(2) A similarly good correspondence generally exists between mouse and atrium with respect to the relative stimulant and depressant potencies of the test drugs, additive stimulation or depression for pairs of like-acting drugs and 'analepsis' and 'anticonvulsant activity' for drugs with opposed central actions.
(3) Injection of 0.8 ng of fentanyl into the pontis oralis in the pontine reticular formation also produced analepsis in naltrexone-pretreated, pentobarbitalized rats.
Epileptic
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, affected with, or of the nature of, epilepsy.
(n.) One affected with epilepsy.
(n.) A medicine for the cure of epilepsy.
Example Sentences:
(1) Serum gamma glutamyl transferase (gammaGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities have been estimated in 49 epileptic patients taking anticonvulsant drugs.
(2) In this series there were 45 patients (40%) with independent focal interictal EEG epileptic abnormalities over frontobasal cortex (with or without independent spiking over interomedial temporal region).
(3) Out of 50 epileptics in 31 cases temporal-lobe epilepsy was present, in 15 the seizures and EEG changes were generalized, in 4 cases focal non-temporal-lobe epilepsy was recognized.
(4) Among the epileptic patients investigated by the stereotactic E. E. G. (Talairach) whose electrodes were introduced at or around the auditory cortex (Area 41, 42), the topography of the auditory responses by the electrical bipolar stimulation and that of the auditory evoked potential by the bilateral click sound stimulation were studied in relation to the ac--pc line (Talairach).
(5) Lupus anticoagulant associated with thrombocytopenia, thrombosis or recurrent abortions was diagnosed in 2 epileptic patients chronically treated with anticonvulsant drugs.
(6) Eighteen adult epileptic patients under CBZ therapy were evaluated in this single-blind, randomized cross-over study.
(7) The threshold of epileptic spiking varied inversely with the area of cortical damage inflicted by the electrode.
(8) The large degree of inter-dose fluctuation between doses indicates that it is preferable to use pre-dose plasma sodium valproate levels to guide the clinical management of epileptic patients.
(9) These topographies enabled us to observe serial changes in epileptic discharge dynamically by 1 msec.
(10) The additional value of these methods, especially of the intensive monitoring, lies also in the possibility of compiling new knowledge about semiology and electro-clinical correlation of epileptic seizures, possible trigger mechanisms and long-term therapeutic effects.
(11) In epileptic hippocampi, (n = 21) reactive synaptogenesis of mossy fibers into the inner molecular layer of the granule cell dendrites was demonstrated at the light microscopic and electron microscopic levels.
(12) A clinical and electroencephalographic study of 107 neurologically normal children with partial seizures was undertaken to verify the existence and determine the frequency of epileptic syndromes reported in selected populations.
(13) Results show that the SLFIA method is a useful means for the determination of blood concentration of VPA in epileptic patients.
(14) In patients under anti-epileptic therapy it is readily possible for the clinical picture to be concealed, and this may then result in irreversible damage due to the disturbance of metabolism remaining uninfluenced.
(15) Effects of epileptic discharge on the autonomic nervous system are mediated through the cortical, limbic, and hypothalamic systems.
(16) Electroencephalographic activity and extracellular discharges from neurons in deep temporal lobe structures were recorded from fine wire microelectrodes chronically implanted in seven psychomotor epileptic patients for diagnostic localization of seizure foci.
