[The concept of epileptic networks. Part 1.]

HALÁSZ Péter

[In this paper we investigate evidences supporting the network concept of epilepsies from different approaches. Firstly the functions of cortical networks in which most of the epileptic networks are embedded, are treated. Then the tentative characteristics of an epileptic network are enumerated and the conversion mechanisms from physiological to epileptic networks are analyzed. Later the role of neuronal oscillations in epileptic networks and aspects of epilepsies provoked by sensory and... tovább »

[Examining the psychometric properties of a new quality of life questionnaire in migraineurs]

MANHALTER Nóra, PALÁSTI Ágnes, BOZSIK György, ÁFRA Judit, ERTSEY Csaba

[Background - The deleterious effect of primary headaches on the sufferers’ quality of life (QOL) has been abundantly documented using both generic and headache-specific instruments. The currently used questionnaires focus on a limited number of factors and therefore may not be sensitive enough to detect the effect of headache type and headache characteristics on QOL, despite the obvious clinical differences. We have devised a comprehensive questionnaire that may be more sensitive to the burden... tovább »

FEHÉR Georgina, BALÁS István, KOMOLY Sámuel, DÓCZI Tamás, JANSZKY József, ASCHERMANN Zsuzsanna, BALÁZS Éva, NAGY Ferenc, KOVÁCS Norbert

[Background - Bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nuclei (STN) is a well-established and cost-effective treatment in advanced PD. Objectives - To quantitatively analyze the change in use of antiparkinsonian drugs one year after subthalamic deep brain stimulator (DBS) implantation in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Patients and methods - Eighteen consecutive patients with advanced PD underwent bilateral STN DBS implantation were involved in the study. The... tovább »

[Devic syndrome - case report, diagnostic and therapeutic principles]

ILJICSOV Anna, BARSI Péter, VÁRALLYAY György, TÁTRAI Erika, SOMFAI Gábor Márk, BERECZKI Dániel, RUDAS Gábor, SIMÓ Magdolna

[Neuromyelitis optica (NMO, Devic-syndrome) is a rare, relapsing autoimmun disease of the central nervous system, which is distinguished from other demyelinating disorders by a recently identified, specific autoantibody. By demonstrating the anti-aquaporin-4 IgG in the serum, a heterogenous group of syndromes can be defined, called NMO-spectrum. In the future, optical coherence tomography may support this diagnosis besides the clinical features, imaging examinations and presence of serum... tovább »
