متن کاملCarbamazepine, serum thyroid hormones and myocardial function in epileptic patients.
Serum thyroid hormone and thyrotropin levels were assayed and the myocardial function was evaluated by measuring systolic time intervals both in 30 patients with epilepsy on long-term carbamazepine monotherapy and in 19 healthy volunteers. Serum thyroxine, free thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels were significantly lower (p < 0.001) in the patient group than in the control group and systolic ...
متن کاملColor vision in epileptic adolescents treated with valproate and carbamazepine
OBJECTIVE The aims of our study were to evaluate whether deficits in color vision exist in epileptic adolescents, to study if monotherapy with valproic acid (VPA) and carbamazepine (CBZ) can affect color vision, and to determine the possible relationship between abnormal color vision tests and AEDs dosage and their serum concentrations. PATIENTS We examined 45 epileptic patients before the be...
