anticonvulsants/경색증

The preventive and therapeutical effects of sodium valproate (SV), 200 mg/kg, on cardiac contractile disorders (developed pressure, rate-pressure products, dp/dt) were studied in rats having 2-day myocardial infarction (MI). The postinfarction rather than preinfarction use of SV substantially

OBJECTIVE Blockade of AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) receptors is a good treatment option for a variety of central nervous system disorders. The present study evaluated the neuroprotective and anticonvulsant effects of EGIS-8332, a non-competitive AMPA receptor

Carbamazepine is being used more frequently in the U.S. as an initial agent of choice to treat generalized tonic-clonic, mixed, and partial seizures with complex symptomatology. Carbamazepine is extensively metabolized in the liver; however, there is little information available on its

We describe a patient with the development of paroxysmal kinesigenic dystonic choreoathetosis (PKDC) after a thalamic infarct. PKDC consists of brief episodes of dystonia or choreoathetosis triggered by movement. PKDC improves with anticonvulsants, and in some cases, with L-Dopa or anticholinergics.

Here we report a patient who suffered an acute infarction of the contralateral postcentral cerebral cortex and subsequently developed unilateral partial epilepsy with negative myoclonus. The findings of brain magnetic resonance imaging, polygraphic recordings of the postcentral somatosensory area,

The authors used 2 national Veterans Health Administration databases to identify outpatient medications and all 30 Elixhauser comorbidities for 2579 unique patients, age 65+ years, hospitalized for syncope in fiscal year 2004. For comparison, we identified other elderly patients hospitalized with

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features, prognosis, CT scans and electroencephalograms in 527 patients with cerebral infarction in the Toranomon hospital between 1983 and 1990. CT scans revealed cortical involvement in 130 cases and subcortical infarcts in the territory of the perforating

OBJECTIVE Occlusion of the artery of Percheron (AOP), a rare vascular variant of basilar artery branch, is presumed to cause bilateral paramedian thalamic infarction. We present a case of acute AOP infarction with status epilepticus. METHODS A 65-year-old woman had past history of hypertension, type

Ipomoea stans (IS) has long been used as an anticonvulsant. Although the use of HPLC and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques recently have allowed some of its compounds to be identified, the anticonvulsant properties of this Convolvulaceae remained to be tested. During the course of several weeks,

The compound 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,4-dihydro-4-ethyl-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (MDL 27,192) was evaluated in a variety of rodent models to assess its anticonvulsant profile and its potential neuroprotective activity. MDL 27,192 demonstrated anticonvulsant activity in a wide range of epilepsy models that

BTS 72664, (R)-7-[1-(4-chlorophenoxy)]ethyl]-1,2,4-triazolo(1,5-alpha)pyrimidine, was identified as a drug development candidate from a research program designed to discover novel, broad-spectrum, non-sedative anticonvulsant drugs. BTS 72664 antagonized bicuculline (BIC)- and maximal electroshock

"Non-convulsive" partial status epilepticus (SE) is an important pathologic condition that should be differentiated from cerebral infarction. Herein, we reported 2 patients who had partial SE associated with old infarction in the right parietal lobe. Each patient had 2 episodes of left hemiparesis

In 6 patients with repeating seizures early after stroke periodic lateralizing epileptiform discharges were detected in EEG. Computed tomography scans showed border-zone infarctions including the territories of the middle and the posterior cerebral artery in four patients; sonographic and

This clinical case report describes the simultaneous development of an acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and a massive pulmonary thromboembolism in a 44-year-old patient - a carrier of the thrombophilia gene polymorphisms: MTHFR C677T, А1298C, PAI-1 4G/5G, ITGA2 C807T. Multifocal thrombosis was
