ABSTRACT
Jeavons syndrome is a rare type of childhood onset photosensitive epilepsy syndrome, which is characterized by eyelid myoclonic and absences seizure, photosensitivity, eye closure-induced seizure or eletroencephalographic (EEG) epileptiform discharges. Jeavons syndrome is often underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed. Jeavons syndrome has its unique epileptogenic mechanisms, and theclinical classification is always closely related to its treatments and prognoses. This article reviews the latest development of Jeavons syndrome in order to enhance the understanding of Jeavons syndrome.
ABSTRACT
Hypothalamic hamartoma is a rare congenital malformation that can cause precocious puberty, epilepsy, cognitive behavior and mental disorders. Hypothalamic hamartoma is the best in vivo model for studying subcortical epilepsy in human. The eplieptogenesis of hypothalamic hamartoma has already been highlight in epilepotology. With deeply exploring and revealing its intrinsic eplieptogenesis of hypothalamic hamartoma, it can expand our research views and ultimately bring new therapies to patients. The latest research progress on epilepotology induced by hypothalamic hamartoma is reviewed as follows.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with facilitated technique on lower limb function and activities of daily living of stroke patients.Methods 120 stroke patients with lower limb palsy were divided into the group Ⅰ (treated with acupuncture combined with facilitated technique), group Ⅱ (treated with acupuncture), third group Ⅲ (treated with facilitated technique) and the group Ⅳ (treated with medicine). The lower limb function and ADL of four groups were evaluated with Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and 10 weeks after treatment.Results The scores of FAC, FMA and MBI of all the groups improved significantly, but it was more significantly in the first group than the in other groups (P<0.01), in group Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ than in group Ⅳ (P<0.01). The difference between the group Ⅱ and Ⅲ was insignificantly(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with facilitated technique can improve the lower limb function and activities of daily living of stroke patients more effectively.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the effect of the early reinforced control ability training of the trunk and pelvis on the motor function of patients with stroke.MethodsFifty-six patients with stroke were randomly divided into the therapy group and control group with 28 cases in each group. The patients of two groups were treated with regular rehabilitation training, forty-five minutes at a time, twice one day; at the same time the patients of the therapy group were administrated with the control ability training in the trunk and pelvis, twenty minutes at a time, twice one day. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale (FMA), the Barthel Index (BI) and functionality ambulation category (FAC) were used to assess the motor function of the patients, before and after the treatment.ResultsTwo months after treatment, there was a significant increasing in the FMA, BI, FAC and hemiplegia gait analysis assessment in the both groups ( P<0.05～0.01), but the walking ability of the therapy group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.05).ConclusionCombined the early reinforced control ability training of the trunk and pelvis with routine rehabilitation training is obvious effect on the motor function of the patients with stroke.
