Epilepsy: looking beyond seizures.
World Epilepsy Day falls on 26 March 2013. As we observe this important date in Singapore, it is perhaps instructive to take a step back to review epilepsy as a disease, to refl ect on progress made, and as yet unresolved challenges. Epilepsy is a fairly common disease affecting 5 to 10 out of every 1000 persons worldwide; the prevalence in Singapore is much the same. 1 It contributes signifi c...
متن کاملNeuroprotective Effect of Celastrus Paniculatus Seed Extract in Epilepsy and Epilepsy-Associated Cognitive Deficits
Purpose: Cognitive deficit is one of the common comorbidity accompanying epilepsy. The present study evaluated the effect of Celastrus paniculatus (C- paniculatus) seed extract on seizure severity and cognitive deficit following Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) -induced chemical kindling model. Methods: PTZ kindling model was developed by daily administration of sub-convulsive dose of PTZ 30 mg/kg for...
متن کاملAdvances in understanding basic mechanisms of epilepsy and seizures
Sixty years ago the clinical neurophysiology of epilepsy had progressed to the stage that it posed questions that could be addressed by major advances in cellular electrophysiology made around the that time. However, it took about 25-30 years to build up serious momentum in understanding the mechanisms of epileptic discharges. Over the past 2-3 decades developments in pharmacology and molecular...
متن کاملEpilepsy, cognitive deficits and neuroanatomy in males with ZDHHC9 mutations
OBJECTIVE Systematic investigation of individuals with intellectual disability after genetic diagnosis can illuminate specific phenotypes and mechanisms relevant to common neurodevelopmental disorders. We report the neurological, cognitive and neuroanatomical characteristics of nine males from three families with loss-of-function mutations in ZDHHC9 (OMIM #300799). METHODS All known cases of ...
متن کاملDipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor ameliorates status epilepticus seizures and cognitive disturbances in a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy
Background and Objective: In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), recurrent seizures accompany with cognitive deficit. In some patients, the current medications cannot provide satisfactory control of seizures, therefore new drugs that act through different mechanisms are required. In the present study, the useful effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor was evaluated in experimental model of tempora...
