OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lamotrigine (LTG) monotherapy for treating Japanese and South Korean pediatric patients with newly diagnosed typical absence seizures.
METHODS
Twenty patients with newly diagnosed typical absence seizures aged 4-12 years were enrolled in the study and
OBJECTIVE
Seizures are listed as an Ambulatory Care Sensitive Condition (ACSC), where, in some cases, hospitalisation may be avoided with appropriate preventative and early management in primary care. We examined the frequencies, trends and financial costs of first and subsequent seizure-related
We report an 81-year-old woman who suffered from theophylline-associated seizures followed by partial seizures due to vitamin B6 deficiency. She developed complex partial seizures. She had been treated with theophylline for two months because of chronic bronchitis. Brain diffusion-weighted magnetic
A pediatric patient who was taking carefully monitored doses of theophylline for chronic asthma, was placed on erythromycin base for bronchitis. She subsequently developed theophylline toxicity which caused her to experience seizure activity. Any patient taking a theophylline preparation who is then
The authors performed galactose loading tests in children suffering from chronic diseases: recurrent bronchitis vomiting, diarrhoea, milk-intolerance, somatic and mental retardation, cramps. In 32 of the 92 examined cases galactose levels rose until pathological, pseudo- diabetic levels. Stillbirth,
Levofloxacin-induced-neurological adverse events such as convulsion, involuntary movement (tremor, myoclonus and chorea-like) and visual hallucination in two elderly patients are reported. A 67-year-old man with minor alcoholism and a past-history of gastrectomy and cholecystectomy was given 300

Sorting nexin 27 (SNX27) influences the composition of the cellular membrane via regulation of selective endosomal recycling. Molecular analysis indicates that SNX27 regulates numerous cellular processes through promiscuous interactions with its receptor cargos. SNX27 deficient (Snx27-/-
The cases are reported of 13 children seen over a 22 month period who presented with a variety of acute neurological illnesses associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Although presentation with a decreased level of consciousness or seizures was common, psychosis, hemiparesis, cranial nerve
A 19-year-old man with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS), had dyspnea and an inspiratory wheeze, and underwent assisted mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy. Bronchoscopy revealed tracheomalacia of the cresent moon type. He lost his weight, and his general condition gradually worsened. Four months
Meropenem and imipenem/cilastatin were compared in an open, randomised prospective multicentre study in the treatment of acute exacerbations of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in hospitalised patients. One-hundred-and-seventy-three patients were enrolled; 164 were evaluable for clinical
