Summary Purpose: Cost analysis and patient satisfaction with telemedicine in epilepsy care. Methods: This controlled study included out‐of‐town patients coming to follow‐up at the University of Alberta hospital clinic. After an informed consent, were randomized either conventional (n = 18) or 23) clinics. Patients caregivers filled travel cost questionnaires both alternatives. per visit costs traveling, lodging, lost productivity. Results: Average age population was 41 years (range 19–73;...
Abstract Background Pediatric onset Crohn disease (pCD) tends to be more complicated with a higher likelihood of requiring intestinal resection surgery. Currently there are no predictive tools for surgery in pCD; risk scores and relative survival analysis available, but these cannot accurately calculate the probability children CD at an individual level. Aims This study aims apply machine learning create time distributions (ISD) tool accurate prediction bowel over novel pCD patient. Methods...
Canadian provinces boast one of the most sophisticated telemedicine infrastructures in world. Feasibility epilepsy care through is established, but its use by practicing neurologists unknown. The League against Epilepsy's task force conducted this study to understand perceptions, barriers and usage care.Using a 14 item questionnaire we prospectively surveyed all epileptologists across Canada with regards current use, perceived benefits telemedicine. survey was mailed out 76 who had primary...
According to published literature status epilepticus (SE) is associated with 7-39% mortality. Timely management one variable that potentially influences the outcome. We sought review process of acute SE at University Alberta Hospital and correlate outcome adherence a recommended treatment protocol.We identified 86 patients 18 years age or older who presented convulsive our emergency room between 2000 2004. defined as continuous activity for 30 more minutes >or= 2 convulsions incomplete...
In the diagnosis of various brain disorders by analyzing magnetic resonance images (MRI), segmentation corpus callosum (CC) is a crucial step. this paper, we propose fully automated technique for CC in T1-weighted midsagittal MRIs. An adaptive mean shift clustering first used to cluster homogenous regions image. order distinguish from other tissues, area analysis, template matching, conjunction with shape and location analysis are proposed identify area. The boundary detected then as initial...
<b>Background: </b> Ictal and postictal language dysfunction is common strongly predictive of laterality in monolingual patients. For bilingual patients, selective has been reported for a single with focal cerebral lesions, electrical brain stimulation, intracarotid sodium amytal. <b>Methods: Two right-handed Ukrainian-English patients left perisylvian structural late onset complex-partial seizures, aphasia English are presented discussed regard to mechanisms factors contributory...
Objective: Our main objective was to use videoconferencing as a primary means to: a) assist in launching an epilepsy surgery program Pakistan; 2) participate case conferences on complex patients each country. Methods: Extensive testing using both point and bridged integrated service digital network (ISDN) internet protocol (IP) connections carried out bandwidths of 384-768 kilobits per second (kbps). Videoconferences between sites were arranged two three weeks advance tested day prior the...
ABSTRACT Acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic that can cause acute liver failure when consumed above maximum daily dose. Certain patients may be at increased risk of hepatocellular damage even conventional therapeutic doses. We report case 34‐year‐old man on carbamazepine for complex partial seizures who developed and renal less than 2.5 grams day acetaminophen. This raises caution should avoid chronic use acetaminophen, if required lower doses with vigilant monitoring signs damage.
This study investigated user experiences of participants testing a prototype messaging app with automatic speech recognition (ASR). Twelve pairs participants, where one individual was deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH), and the other hearing used app, using ASR DHH typing. Participants completed standardized decision making task to test app. Regardless status type device used, were generally satisfied These findings indicate that has potential facilitate communication between individuals in small...
Background . Developing countries, home to 80% of epilepsy patients, do not have comprehensive surgery programs. Considering these needs we set up first center in Pakistan. Methods Seventeen teleconferences focused on setting an at the Aga Khan University (AKU), Karachi, Pakistan were arranged with experts from Alberta Hospital, Alberta, Canada and West Virginia, USA over a two-year period. Subsequently, visited proposed provide hands training. During this period several interactive teaching...
