Generalized seizures were the commonest type of seizure. Most patients had good control at last follow up requiring only monotherapy.
BDNF-modulated plastic changes to dendritic spines in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex underlie the NMDA-induced pre-convulsive stereotyped behavior in rats -
Systemic administration of NMDA induces stereotyped behavior followed frequently, but not always, by generalized epileptiform seizures. Increased NMDA activity provokes overstimulation of NMDA glutamate receptors in neurons with dendritic spines. Systemic administration of 100 mg/kg of NMDA i.p. induced stereotyped behavior in adult male rats 5-10 min post-injection. Then, the density and propo...
Climate change and neurological disorders in childhood: A scoping review -
CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence suggests that climate change-related exposures, particularly extreme temperatures, temperature variability, and natural disasters, negatively affect paediatric neurological health directly (increased seizure risk, impaired myelination) and indirectly (disrupted treatment access, emotional stress). Neuroinfectious diseases were also strongly associated with climatic...
Association between persisting peritumoral brain edema and seizures as well as worse functional outcome after meningioma surgery: a retrospective study of 218 patients -
CONCLUSIONS: Persisting PTBE is associated with worse functional outcome and with persisting and new-onset seizures. Based on EEG findings, persisting PTBE (i.e., gliosis) may be the epileptogenic focus in some patients. Future studies are needed to assess whether these gliotic sites could even be therapeutic targets for seizure control.
