peer agreement (net): -1seizures in a monotonic fashion Explanation: No hay ningún hit de "monotonic seizure/convulsion", por lo que pienso que tal vez es mejor expresarlo así. Ver... Propofol sedation produces dose-dependent suppression of lidocaine ... - [ Traduzca esta página ]... breathing rats receiving no other anesthetics exerts a protective effect against lidocaine-induced ***seizures in a monotonic, dose-dependent fashion***. ... cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=2176606 - Páginas similares |

10 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1myoclonic seizures Explanation: My best guess -without further context- is that this is a typo for convulsiones mioclónicas (probably transcribed from a manuscript by someone who hadn't -the foggiest- idea what he/she was typing). And that has a logical translation: myoclonic seizures. http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/seizure_myoclonic.html Myoclonic Seizures What are they like? Here's a typical story: "In the morning, I get these 'jumps.' My arms fly up for a second, and I often spill my coffee or drop what I'm holding. Now and then my mouth may shut for a split second. Sometimes I get a few jumps in a row. Once I've been up for a few hours, the jumps stop." How long do they last? They're very brief jerks. Usually they don't last more than a second or two. There can be just one, but sometimes many will occur within a short time. Tell me more Myoclonic (MY-o-KLON-ik) seizures are brief, shock-like jerks of a muscle or a group of muscles. "Myo" means muscle and "clonus" (KLOH-nus) means rapidly alternating contraction and relaxation—jerking or twitching—of a muscle. Even people without epilepsy can experience myoclonus in hiccups or in a sudden jerk that may wake you up as you're just falling asleep. These things are normal. In epilepsy, myoclonic seizures usually cause abnormal movements on both sides of the body at the same time. They occur in a variety of epilepsy syndromes that have different characteristics: * Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: The seizures usually involve the neck, shoulders, and upper arms. In many patients the seizures most often occur soon after waking up. They usually begin around puberty or sometimes in early adulthood in people with a normal range of intelligence. In most cases, these seizures can be well controlled with medication but it must be continued throughout life. * Lennox-Gastaut syndrome: This is an uncommon syndrome that usually includes other types of seizures as well. It begins in early childhood. The myoclonic seizures usually involve the neck, shoulders, upper arms, and often the face. They may be quite strong and are difficult to control. * Progressive myoclonic epilepsy: The rare syndromes in this category feature a combination of myoclonic seizures and tonic-clonic seizures. Treatment is usually not successful for very long, as the patient deteriorates over time. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2006-10-31 08:54:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm upgrading my confidence level to 4. Any chance of checking it out with the authors? |
