Seizure episode is most common in males than in females in this study. Among the males, age group of 21-40 years is most affecting with seizures. Major occurrence of seizure is when the patient is in awake state. Most of the patient around 80% in this study presented with single episode of seizure. Generalized Tonic Clonic seizure is the most common form of seizure in this study. Infection and inflammation were most common cause of seizure. Neurocysticercosis is common cause of seizure under infectious cause of seizure, followed by tuberculomas. Ischemia is second most common cause of seizure in this study. Incidence of mesial temporal sclerosis is 17 % in this study. Mesial temporal sclerosis is more common in age group of 21- 40 years of age. From this study it is seen that there is an increase in diagnostic yield (23%) in finding epileptogenic lesions in patients who presented with seizure by adding “dedicated epilepsy protocol”. Standard protocol sequences failed to detect those 23% of the lesion that were diagnosed using epilepsy protocol. Standard protocol issued to predict all lesion types except for hippocampal sclerosis and cortical malformation.
In the precise estimation of gestational age, fetal kidney length measurement by ultrasound proves to be an effective parameter from 20-40th weeks of gestation.To conduct an ultrasound examination for healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancy from 20 weeks to 40 weeks to determine the association between fetal kidney length and gestational age determined by the last menstrual period and other ultrasound parameters (such as biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference and length of the femur). Obtain a nomogram and estimate the gestational age of the fetus by the length of the fetal kidney measured by ultrasound. This study aims to validate the measurement of fetal kidney length as an additional morphological parameter with less variability for estimating fetal growth. This measurement can be included into the pregnancy dating model after 20 weeks of gestation as it is easy to perform, especially when the measurement of biparietal diameter and head circumference is difficult.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
