Wikify date May 2010 The law of search and seizure in Pennsylvania is controlled by both the United States Constitution and the broader protections of the Pennsylvania Constitution . This article is concerned only with the protections provided by the Pennsylvania Constitution. Overview Police officers and other law enforcement officials are limited in the means of investigation that they may utilize. That is, the law limits the ways in which police officers can investigate and arrest criminals. In the event a law enforcement official violates these rules, evidence obtained may be suppressed, which essentially means that the prosecution may not use the evidence in court to convict a defendant of the crime charged. Successful suppression of evidence often means the Prosecution will not be able to make out the charges, and the Defendant gets to go home. This article provides an overview summary of some of the major topics in Pennsylvania search and seizure jurisprudence. Relationship between the U.S. Constitution and the Pennsylvania Constitution The US Supreme Court s interpretation of the Fourth Amendment do not control the Pennsylvania Supreme Court s interpretation of the protections under Article I 8 of the Pennsylvania Constitution. See , e.g. , Commonwealth v. Edmunds , 586 A.2d 887 1991 .

distinguish icteric Ictal refers to a physiologic state or event such as a seizure , stroke or headache . The word originates from the Latin ictus , meaning a blow or a stroke. In electroencephalography electroencephalography EEG , the recording during an actual seizure is said to be ictal . Pre ictal refers to the state immediately before the actual seizure, stroke, or headache, though it s recently come to light that some of characteristics of this stage such as visual auras are actually the beginnings of the ictal state. Post ictal refers to the state shortly after the event. Inter ictal refers to the period between seizures, or convulsion s, that are characteristic of an epilepsy disorder. For most people with epilepsy , the inter ictal state corresponds to more than 99 of their life. The inter ictal period is often used by neurologists when diagnosing epilepsy since an Electroencephalogram EEG trace will often show small inter ictal spiking and other abnormalities known by neurologists as subclinical seizures .

Orphan date February 2009 Inter ictal spiking refers to abnormal neuronal discharges between epileptic seizure s. This abnormal activity can originate from one or more cranial lobe s, often travels from one lobe to another,and interferes with normal activity from the affected lobe. Patients with severe, intractable forms of epilepsy can suffer from unremmiting abnormal brain activity due to inter ictal spiking. This phenomenon has been confirmed through intra cranial EEG telemetry in which electrode grids are positioned sub durally and augmented by intra cranial depth electrodes. The EEG tracings from these are correlated with external video recordings of physical responses to epileptic seizures to help determine type of seizure and origin of onset. med stub Category Neurophysiology ... more details
