endosulfan has been researched along with Seizures in 14 studies
Endosulfan: A polychlorinated compound used for controlling a variety of insects. It is practically water-insoluble, but readily adheres to clay particles and persists in soil and water for several years. Its mode of action involves repetitive nerve-discharges positively correlated to increase in temperature. This compound is extremely toxic to most fish. (From Comp Biochem Physiol (C) 1993 Jul;105(3):347-61)
endosulfan : A cyclic sulfite ester that is 1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepine 3-oxide substituted by chloro groups at positions 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 10.
Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

| "Endosulfan poisoning can be suspected in the presence of primary central nervous system manifestations including seizures, with or without clinical or laboratory evidence of other organ dysfunction such as liver failure." | 3.73 | Characteristics of endosulfan poisoning: a study of 23 cases. ( Aygun, D; Baydin, A; Karatas, AD, 2006) |
| "In order to study the response of rats to repeated administration of the insecticide, endosulfan during the period of growth to maturity, food intake, body weight gain, Spontaneous Motor Activity (SMA) and Muscle Coordination (MC) were determined at regular intervals in male immature Wistar rats treated with a tolerated dose of (2 mg/kg/day) orally for 90 days." | 3.68 | Behavioural and biochemical changes produced by repeated oral administration of the insecticide endosulfan in immature rats. ( Balasubramaniam, E; Kazi, M; Paul, V; Sheela, S, 1993) |
| "Endosulfan is an organochloride insecticide, widely used in insect control." | 1.35 | Unintentional endosulfan poisoning. ( Alpay, NR; Gumusay, U; Guneysel, O; Satar, S; Sebe, A, 2009) |
| "Endosulfan is a widely used insecticide that is associated with a high fatality rate in humans when ingested accidentally or with the aim of suicide." | 1.35 | Acute endosulfan poisoning: a retrospective study. ( Chun, BJ; Moon, JM, 2009) |
| "Endosulfan has been banned in many countries; however, it is still used in the United States." | 1.35 | Death in a toddler following endosulfan ingestion. ( Parbhu, B; Rodgers, G; Sullivan, JE, 2009) |
| "Endosulfan is a highly toxic organochlorine insecticide that produces well-known neurological symptoms of tonic-clonic convulsions, headache, dizziness and ataxia but also can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and metabolic disturbances." | 1.32 | Acute endosulfan poisoning with cerebral edema and cardiac failure. ( Eyer, F; Felgenhauer, N; Jetzinger, E; Pfab, R; Zilker, TR, 2004) |
| "The seizure was attributed to exposure to the organochlorine, however, subsequent EEG recordings demonstrated a non-specific epileptiform focus in the frontal lobes." | 1.30 | Acute carbamate and organochlorine toxicity causing convulsions in an agricultural pilot: a case report. ( Cable, GG; Doherty, S, 1999) |
