anticonvulsants/뇌졸중

The anticonvulsant screening program (ASP) of the national institute of neurological disorders and stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of Health has made substantial contributions to the drug armamentarium of the clinical neurologist. This program, originally a part of the overall Drug Development

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of the Anticonvulsant Screening Program (ASP) of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) in identifying new anti-seizure drugs with new mechanisms of action (MOA). The ASP does not itself identify the nature of the MOA, but on further

OBJECTIVE Introduction: Epileptic attacks frequency in patients after stroke ranges widely from 3 % up to 60 %. Today many aspects of this problem in post-stroke epilepsy haven't been completely studied, regarding the problem of the time for administering antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). The aim of this

OBJECTIVE Recent results suggest that selective inhibitors of presynaptic neuronal ion channels can diminish glutamate release during cerebral ischemia and modulate excitotoxic cell death. The aim of the present study was to evaluate lamotrigine (LTG), an antiepileptic that inhibits presynaptic

Epilepsy is one of the leading causes of chronic neurological morbidity worldwide. Acquired epilepsy may result from a number of conditions, such as brain injury, anoxia, tumors, stroke, neurotoxicity, and prolonged seizures. Sex differences have been observed in many seizure types; however, some

BACKGROUND Extensive data, primarily from animal studies, suggest that several classes of drugs may have antineuroplastic effects that could impede recovery from brain injury or reduce the efficacy of rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE The Locomotor Experience Applied Post-Stroke trial, a randomized

OBJECTIVE Stroke-like episodes signal progression and significant disability in the mitochondrial encephalomyopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes syndrome. Arginine is widely used as a treatment for stroke-like episode, although there is little evidence for this intervention. We discuss

Studies in laboratory animals indicate that certain centrally acting drugs (eg, the antihypertensives clonidine and prazosin, neuroleptics and other dopamine receptor antagonists, benzodiazepines, and the anticonvulsants phenytoin and phenobarbital) impair behavioral recovery after focal brain

A 10-year, retrospective review of the etiology, outcome, and complications of ischemic stroke in children from a nonurban population was conducted. Twenty-seven children were identified (14 boys, 13 girls), ages 1.25 to 17 years (mean 7.7 years). Etiologies included undetermined (22%), arterial

BACKGROUND Propofol is a general anesthetic having good anticonvulsant properties, but is limited in antiseizure use because of its potent anesthetic/sedative properties. It is proposed that substitution of the propofol molecule in the para position may yield compounds having less toxicity, yet

Previous results of anticonvulsant activity in several imidooxy carboxylates related to (aminooxy)acetic acid in young chicks, prompted an in-depth reinvestigation of these analogues in mice. A series of 22 succinimidooxy, phthalimidooxy, and naphthalimidooxy carboxylates were synthesized and
