The 4-Aminopyridine Model of Acute Seizures in vitro Elucidates Efficacy of New Antiepileptic Drugs [PDF]
Up to date, preclinical screening for new antiepileptic substances is performed by a combination of different in vivo models of acute seizures, for which large numbers of animals are necessary.

Drug resistance in epilepsy: expression of drug resistance proteins in common causes of refractory epilepsy [PDF]
Epilepsy is resistant to drug treatment in about one-third of cases, but the mechanisms underlying this drug resistance are not understood. In cancer, drug resistance has been studied extensively. Amongst the various resistance mechanisms, overexpression of drug resistance proteins, such as multi-drug resistance gene-1 P-glycoprotein (MDR1) and ...

Evaluation of Risk Factors for Epilepsy in Pediatric Patients with Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a set of etiologically diverse symptoms that change with the child’s age. It is one of the most frequent causes of motor disability in children. CP occurs at a frequency of 1.5 to 3.0 per 1000 live-born children.

Drug-Resistant Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy: Misdiagnosis of Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy [PDF]
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a common epilepsy syndrome characterized by bilateral myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures typically starting in adolescence and responding well to medication. Misdiagnosis of a more severe progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) as JME has been suggested as a cause of drug-resistance.

Clinical diagnostic features and surgical outcomes of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
Despite certain successes in the treatment of epilepsy, primarily associated with the active development of pharmacology, in 30% of cases, there is a resistant course, especially focal forms of temporal lobe epilepsy.
