Epilepsy Interleukin-2 Convulsants Audiogenic seizures Bicuculline Kainate Cephazolin Abstract The effects of interleukin-2 (IL-2) on various models of experimental epilepsy were studied after intracerebroventricular administration in DBA/2 mice, a strain genetically susceptible to sound-induced seizures. Convulsions were induced by physical stimulus (sound of 109 dB, 12-16 kHz) or by chemical ...

introduction: olive leaf contains anti-inflammatory and cox-2 inhibitor compounds. considering the role of the cox enzyme in seizures, this research was performed to assess the effects of this extract in treatment of seizures induced by ptz. methods: in this research, male wistar rats (200±20 g) were injected intra-cerebroventricularly with 1 μl saline or olive leaf extract (125 μg, 250 μg and ...

background: it has been reported that epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system that causes memory impairment. this study examines the role of the aqueous extract of boswellia on the learning disability of the pentylenetetrazol (ptz)‑induced kindled rats. methods: in this experimental study, 64 male rats were used. kindling seizures were induced by three injections of 25 mg/kg of ptz...

Seizures associated with cocaine intoxication are serious clinical problem requiring immediate and adequate treatment, however their mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In contrast to early views, which convulsive properties of cocaine ascribed predominantly to the effect of this drug on voltage-dependent sodium channels, recent reports put much emphasis on the interaction of cocaine with ...

PURPOSE Among the different precipitating stimuli for reflex seizures, Touch-Induced Seizures (TIS) and Hot Water Seizures (HWS) are consistently described in different reports. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical, EEG and image data of patients with TIS and HWS. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients who were followed up in our Epilepsy Unit and had seizures triggered by ...
