BACKGROUND:  Patients with epilepsy (PWE) frequently have comorbid psychiatric disorders, the most common of which are depression and anxiety. Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD) is also more frequent among PWE, though that condition has been scarcely studied among the adult PWE population. OBJECTIVE:  This study aimed to compare the presence of ADHD symptoms between adult PWE and the general population. METHODS:  This was an observational case-control study...

OBJECTIVE: Complete or major symptoms of ADHD are often present in epilepsy. This study evaluated inattention and hyperactivity symptoms over the first 6 months in newly diagnosed pediatric epilepsy without comorbid ADHD. METHOD: Children and adolescents with newly diagnosed epilepsy were followed for 6 months after starting antiseizure medications. The Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF), Adverse Event Profile (AEP), and the Revised Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were used...

OBJECTIVE: Trial-to-trial variabilities in event-related potentials (ERP's), which are neglected by investigating averaged ERP's, can be important to establish group-specific effects in clinical studies. Single ERP responses have to be analyzed to quantify these variations. In order to overcome the disadvantages of existing single-sweep estimators, we have developed a new procedure based on wavelet networks (WN's) and applied this novel approach in a study concerning attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children...
