Source analysis of epileptiform discharges in absence epilepsy using Magnetoencephalography (MEG).

Purpose: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) was used to record and localize the sources of the epileptiform discharges, in absence epilepsy, at three different time intervals to infer the sources of involvement during generation and propagation.

Methods: Twenty patients with absence epilepsy (M:F=1:1; age: 10.2±3.

Unilateral Papilledema in Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis.

In the majority of patients with raised intracranial pressure, the papilledema is bilateral. Unilateral papilledema is rare in conditions causing intracranial hypertension, and it has been described in Foster-Kennedy syndrome and in some cases of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It has never been reported in cerebral venous thrombosis.

Source localization of epileptiform discharges in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) using magnetoencephalography (MEG).

Objective: The purpose of this study is to localize the sources of epileptiform discharges (EDs), in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) using Magnetoencephalography (MEG), at three different time instances and analyze the propagation of EDs, from onset to offset, for inferring the cortical and subcortical region of involvement.

Methods: Twenty patients (age 23.5±6.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Phenotype and Course: Our Experience from a Tertiary Center.

Introduction: Prion diseases are protein conformation disorders and neither caused by viroid or virus but is a transmissible particle labeled a prion by Pruisner. Normal prion protein becomes infectious by a different folding, but the triggers are not known. Based on the characteristic brain pathology, they are grouped under spongiform encephalopathy affecting both man and animals.

Comparitive angiographic profile in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Background: Cardiac adversity is by far the commonest cause of mortality in patients with diabetes. Cardiac involvement in diabetes commonly manifest as coronary artery disease (CAD). Definitive diagnosis,precise assessment and anatomic severity of CAD requires invasive diagnostic modality like coronary angiography.
