Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Adenosine A𝟐A Receptor Antagonists Do Not Disrupt Rodent Prepulse Inhibition: An Improved Side Effect Profile in the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's Disease, 2012
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Current treatments for PD focus on dopaminergic therapies, including L-dopa and dopamine receptor agonists.

Potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents and their mechanisms for irradiation‐induced brain injury

Ibrain, EarlyView.
In this review, agents such baicalein, troxerutin, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, melatonin, valproic acid, lithium, neurosteroid progesterone, as well as minocycline have been implicated as neuroprotective agents for irradiation‐induced neurological deficits. Also, agents such as glucocorticoids, methylphenidate, vitamin E, bisdemethoxycurcumin,

White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

Clinical, manometric, genetic, and histologic associations in pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction: A case series

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (PIPO) is a severe bowel motility disorder characterized by impaired propulsion of gastrointestinal contents without mechanical obstruction. PIPO encompasses congenital and acquired disorders, including neuropathies, myopathies, and mesenchymopathies.

Beyond PD‐1/PD‐L1: New Immune Checkpoints and Therapeutic Combinations in Cancer Immunotherapy

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), particularly PD‐1/PD‐L1 and CTLA‐4 inhibitors, have revolutionized cancer treatment, significantly improving survival rates for various malignancies. However, ICI therapies targeting single checkpoints on T cells still face numerous challenges, such as low response rates and post‐treatment ...

Distinction and mutual Influences between Parkinson's Disease‐related and unrelated Chronic Pain

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Chronic pain (i.e. > 3 months) is a common nonmotor symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), but the attribution to PD is critical for further treatment. Objectives We explored the PD Pain Classification System (PD‐PCS) criteria for the diagnosis of PD‐related pain and mutual influences between PD‐related and PD‐unrelated ...
