An Overview Of Neurology Residency Training In Epilepsy At The University Of Nebraska Medical Center, Daniel Crespo Artunduaga, Mohamed Taha, Arun Swaminathan
Graduate Medical Education Research Journal
Neurology residency offers a comprehensive training program over 4 years in management of various neurological disorders. Epilepsy represents a common condition managed by neurologists and forms a core curriculum in the training of neurology residents. We conducted an anonymous survey among the trainees at our neurology program to identify knowledge and treatment gaps and help us modify our training regimens to provide high impact and good quality training to our trainees. We conducted a 35-question survey to determine various aspects of our neurology residents’ training to identify and overcome shortfalls. Our program requirements are rigorous and match up with those …

Objective The aim of this study was to determine DNA damage in epileptic children due to seizures and/or due to the most widely used antiepileptic drugs (valproic acid or carbamazepine). Background Epilepsy is a common neurological disease that requires early diagnosis and treatment. However, long-term use of antiepileptic drugs has been shown to cause oxidative damage to protein and DNA. Patients and methods We enrolled 15 epileptic patients receiving valproic acid monotherapy, 15 epileptic patients receiving carbamazepine monotherapy, 10 epileptic children with no treatment, and 10 control healthy children. Blood samples were collected from a peripheral vein into heparinized tubes …

Background/aim: A wide variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders have been shown to be closely related to changes in hippocampal volume (HV). It appears that hippocampal volumetry will be an indispensable part of clinical practice for a number of neuropsychiatric disorders in the near future. The aim of this study was to establish a normative data set for HV according to age and sex in the general population.Materials and methods: Hippocampal magnetic resonance imaging scans of 302 healthy volunteers were obtained using a 1.5 T unit with a 20-channel head coil. The hippocampal volumetric assessment was conducted using the volBrain …

Optimum Recording Time Of Routine Electroencephalogram For Adults With Epilepsy*, Kemal Tutkavul, Yilmaz Çeti̇nkaya
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: This study aimed to reveal the optimum recording time of routine electroencephalogram (EEG) for adults with epilepsy.Materials and methods: In this clinical observational study we investigated features of paroxysms that emerged in EEGs recorded for 45 min in adults with epilepsy.Results: Paroxysms were detected in 38.14% of 97 patients. The probability of occurrence of paroxysm during the first 10 min was found to be statistically significantly low in comparison to the first 30 and 45 min (respectively P = 0.004, P = 0.0001). This probability was found to increase insignificantly when comparing the first 20 min with the first …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of children with cerebral palsy and determine the particular characteristics of the disorder. Materials and methods: The nutritional status of the children was assessed by the Gomez classification using weight-for-age. The Gross Motor Function Classification System was used to determine the gross and fine motor functions.Results: The study was conducted with 197 children (58.4% males) between the ages of 1 and 18 years old. Asphyxia (44.1%) was the primary etiological factor, and spastic quadriplegia (41.6%) was the most common type of cerebral palsy. Malnutrition was the most frequent comorbidity …
