    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to illuminate experiences of living with uncomplicated epilepsy, i.e. epilepsy without any associated neurological impainnents. The focus was on young people, aged 13- 22 (II, III, IV), and adults, aged 18-65 (I), with newly debuted epilepsy, i. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Epidemiological studies of epilepsy : incidence and risk factors

    Författare :Cecilia Adelöw; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :seizure;

    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological disorders leading to significant consequences for the affected. Despite the wealth of epidemiological data, there are still many un-answered questions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Novel approaches to explore mechanisms of epileptic seizures - optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulation of hippocampal circuitry

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Seizure; epileptogenesis; optogenetics; NpHR; ChR2; DREADD; hippocampus; in vivo; mouse;

    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy comprises a family of neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures, which can be highly debilitating. Up to 30% of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, the most common form of the disorder in adults, arising in the hippocampus, cannot be effectively treated by current pharmaceuticals. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : When anti-epileptic drugs fail, and epilepsy surgery is found unfeasible or ineffective, there remains a group of at least 25% of children with epilepsy in whom seizure control cannot be achieved. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for medically refractory epilepsy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Autonomic cardiac control in patients with epilepsy : spectral analysis of heart rate variability

    Författare :Håkan Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :SUDEP; autonomic nervous system; heart rate variability; epilepsy; carbamazepine; epilepsy surgery;

    Sammanfattning : The heart is affected by the central nervous system via sympathetic and para-sympathetic efferents from autonomic centres in the brain stem. By assessing the beat to beat variation of the RR-intervals of the heart, i.e. the heart rate variability (HRV) it is possible to separately analyse sympathetic and parasympathetic effects on the heart.
