Cannabidiol in Adults With Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome: Real-World Experience -
CONCLUSIONS: CBD was associated with sustained effectiveness and good tolerability in adults with LGS, with high retention and improvement in seizure and other clinically meaningful outcomes. Adverse effects, mainly interaction-related, were usually managed with concomitant medication adjustments.
Interictal Single-Voxel Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of the Temporal Lobe in Cats with Idiopathic Epilepsy: A Prospective Case-Control Study -
Background: Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is among the most frequent chronic neurological disorders of cats, but by definition it is associated with an unremarkable conventional brain MRI, leaving its temporal lobe pathophysiology poorly characterised. Objectives: To quantify interictal temporal lobe neurometabolite ratios in cats with IE using bilateral single-voxel ¹H-MRS and to compare them with ...
Reduction of Microglial Reactivity by Cannabidiol: Preliminary Data Obtained in an Astrocyte-Microglia Co-Culture Model of Inflammation -
Background/Objectives: Glia-mediated inflammation contributes to a wide range of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including epilepsy. Pregabalin (PGB) and cannabidiol (CBD) are CNS-acting drugs prescribed for various neuropsychiatric conditions, especially seizures. This study investigated the effects of PGB and CBD on glial properties in an astrocyte-microglia co-culture model of inflam...
Presumed Hippocampal Endometriosis Presenting as Catamenial Epilepsy: Diagnostic Challenges, MRI Follow-Up, and Comparative Review of Reported Cerebral Endometriosis Case -
Background: Cerebral endometriosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis and remains a diagnostic challenge because its clinical and imaging features may mimic more common neurological, inflammatory, vascular, or neoplastic disorders. Catamenial neurological symptoms may provide an important diagnostic clue, but histological confirmation is rarely available. Case p...
Multifocal Initiation of Spreading Depolarization by Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures -
Epileptic seizures are self-terminating events, yet the precise mechanisms underlying their cessation and the subsequent postictal suppression remain incompletely understood. Spreading depression (SD)-a traveling wave of intense depolarization and electrical silence-has emerged as a potential mechanism of focal seizure termination. Given that generalized tonic-clonic seizures involve widespread...
Levetiracetam and Peripheral Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Epilepsy: A Systematic Review of Human Evidence -
Oxidative stress is implicated in epilepsy, but seizures, disease severity, diet, comorbidity and treatment all influence circulating redox biomarkers. We systematically reviewed human evidence on levetiracetam (LEV) under three estimands: within-person change, LEV-treated epilepsy versus healthy controls, and LEV versus other antiseizure medications. PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Web of Sc...
