The findings are published in the current issue of the journal Epilepsia. http://www.huliq.com/11/80504/new-drug-prevents-seizure-progression-epilepsy-patients#comments Health epilepsy Seizures treatment Mon, 04 May 2009 13:48:42 -0500 harminka 80504 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78625/nerve-stimulation-device-proves-effective-against-epilepsy Epilepsy is a common medical condition characterized by convulsions and short periods of confusion. It affects more than 50 million people worldwide. But intractable epilepsy, which affects more than 1 million Americans and is often resistant to drug treatment and surgery, is arguably worse. http://www.huliq.com/11/78625/nerve-stimulation-device-proves-effective-against-epilepsy#comments Health epilepsy epilepsy treatment Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:56:44 -0500 harminka 78625 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78620/anti-seizure-medications-may-increase-risk-cardiovascular-problems An important clinical repercussion in the treatment of epilepsy has been discovered by a research team led by Scott Mintzer, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and the Jefferson Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University. http://www.huliq.com/11/78620/anti-seizure-medications-may-increase-risk-cardiovascular-problems#comments Health cardiovascular problems epilepsy seizures Wed, 18 Mar 2009 11:59:17 -0500 harminka 78620 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75596/study-yields-clues-about-evolution-epilepsy Two children have a seizure.

Many employers are hesitant to hire epileptics, fearing that stressful workplace situations might bring on an attack. But a new Tel Aviv University study suggests these fears are groundless. http://www.huliq.com/11/75378/researchers-find-epileptics-stressful-jobs-can-handle-pressure#comments Health epilepsy seizures Fri, 02 Jan 2009 13:34:02 -0600 harminka 75378 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74284/keppra-xr-role-patients-partial-onset-seizures UCB today announced findings from new studies of the once-daily antiepileptic drug (AED) Keppra XR™ (levetiracetam) extended-release tablets comparing tolerability vs. levetiracetam immediate release and reporting on additional dosing schedules. The data were among five studies that were presented at the 62nd annual meeting of the American Epilepsy Society in Seattle. http://www.huliq.com/11/74284/keppra-xr-role-patients-partial-onset-seizures#comments Health antiepileptic drugs epilepsy Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:50:31 -0600 harminka 74284 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74282/doctors-raise-questions-concerns-about-fda-suicide-warning Medical specialists at the nation's largest professional meeting on epilepsy discussed multiple questions and concerns they have about data presented by the FDA in support of its recent suicide alert on anticonvulsant drugs (AEDs) and the potential effect of the federal agency's analyses on clinical practice and the way AED drug trials are to be conducted in the future. http://www.huliq.com/11/74282/doctors-raise-questions-concerns-about-fda-suicide-warning#comments Health epilepsy suicide Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:40:56 -0600 harminka 74282 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74277/study-finds-possible-clues-epilepsy-autism Rice University researchers have found a potential clue to the roots of epilepsy, autism, schizophrenia and other neurological disorders. http://www.huliq.com/11/74277/study-finds-possible-clues-epilepsy-autism#comments Health autism epilepsy neurological disorders Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:22:00 -0600 harminka 74277 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74170/interventions-may-alter-course-epilepsy-diagnosis-and-management Early diagnosis and treatment that quickly achieves seizure freedom with nominal side effects is the key goal to epilepsy management.
