Effect of Gamma aminobutyric acid on ADHD and seizures in Children with epilepsy.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the effective and life-saving treatment modality used in psychiatry for a long time because it responds more rapidly than pharmacological treatment. ECT is used safely in treatment-resistant depression, and in psychiatric disorders such as mania,
Alcohol use disorder is a common comorbidity among trauma patients. This pre-existing condition is associated with Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS) and frequently complicates the management of this patient population. Current treatment and/or prevention of AWS includes the administration of
The traditional treatment for refractory status epilepticus includes diazepam, midazolam, valproic acid, thiopental and propofol. These medications fail to control seizure activity in 20-40% of patients. This is attributed to decrease in activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors along with
Background and Rationale for the study:
Infantile spasms (IS) is a rare, catastrophic age-specific epilepsy syndrome with onset within the first 12 months of life. The disorder is characterized clinically by epileptic spasms, often accompanied by developmental regression and a characteristic
Abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide have emerged as standard therapies in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Both agents improve outcomes in patients previously treated with docetaxel and in those that are chemotherapy-naive. Although their mechanisms of action differ, both
Nodding Syndrome (NS) is described as an epileptic seizure disorder and has been documented in various geographic areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Jilek et al, 1962, first described several children with attacks of 'nodding head' in Mahenge, a region in southern Tanzania (1,2,3). A missionary doctor
Objective: To study the physiologic effects of taurine therapy in patients with succinic semialdehyde Dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency.
Study Population: Eighteen children and adults with SSADH deficiency receiving taurine.
Design: This small open label trial will evaluate the effect of taurine
Background
Interictal anxiety symptoms are reported in two-thirds of patients with epilepsy and represent an underrecognized and undertreated aspect of the disorder. Interictal anxiety is postulated to stem from both fear of seizure recurrence ("seizure phobia") and dispersed locus of control.In
The occurrence of morbid obesity is at epidemic proportions in the United States. Laparoscopic gastric bypass is an effective means of safely facilitating patient weight loss and thereby drastically reducing the prevalence and severity of many future health complications [1]. However, managing
Approximately 60 to 70 million adults in the United States alone are affected by insomnia. Daytime symptoms of insomnia include tiredness, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. Recent epidemiologic research focusing on quality of life has identified significant insomnia-related
Roughly half of women diagnosed with pre-menopausal breast cancer will have hormone receptor-positive tumors, which will make them candidates for anti-estrogen therapies. Both endocrine therapy and ovarian ablation have also been shown to improve outcomes in this population.
Hot flashes are a
Chronic daily headache (CDH) is a common and extremely disabling pain syndrome with a recent estimated point prevalence of 2.98% of the general population1 Other studies estimate a prevalence of 4.1% and 4.7% with a higher prevalence in women of 9%.2,3 The condition is disabling and is a major cause
Objective: To study cortical excitability, electroencephalography patterns, nerve conduction velocity, and sleep patterns, in succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency, a rare autosomal recessive pediatric neurotransmitter disease associated with elevated levels of brain gamma
