Explaining risk factors for drug-resistant tuberculosis in England and Wales: contribution of primary and secondary drug resistance [PDF]

, 2004
Drug-resistant tuberculosis can be transmitted (primary) or develop during the course of treatment (secondary). We investigated risk factors for each type of resistance.

Hippocampal Seizure‐Related Burden is Associated with Accelerated Long‐Term Forgetting in Focal Epilepsy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Memory impairment is a frequent comorbidity of focal epilepsy, incompletely explained by seizure frequency or structural pathology. Ictal and postictal hippocampal dysfunction disrupt memory processes, but their cumulative impact remains poorly quantified.

Genetic Resilience and Resistance in Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis and Pathology

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Some individuals avoid Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology as they age, or retain cognition despite substantial pathology, suggesting mechanisms of resistance or resilience to neurodegeneration. Educational attainment (EA) is associated with reduced risk of cognitive decline, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Higher plasma neurofilament-light chain concentration in drug-resistant epilepsy

Drug-resistant epilepsy is the most severe form of epilepsy and is frequently associated with cognitive decline. Whether drug-resistant epilepsy results in neurodegeneration or other types of brain injury is not known, and early detection of detrimental ...

Accelerated Epigenetic Aging in Frontotemporal Dementia Highlights Smoking, Inflammation, and Metabolic Signals

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Epigenetic clocks are biomarkers of biological aging influenced by lifestyle and systemic factors. Accelerated epigenetic aging has been associated with neurodegeneration, but its relevance in frontotemporal dementia is unclear. We investigated biological aging in frontotemporal dementia using the GrimAge2 epigenetic clock, a DNA methylation ...

Defining drug-resistant epilepsy

, 2011
Drug resistant epilepsy remains a major clinical challenge. Diverse criteria have been used to defi ne drug resistance by different researchers, making it diffi cult or even impossible to compare the results across different studies.

Clozapine:norclozapine ratio as a marker of metabolic risk and therapeutic response and effect of valproate on clozapine levels

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Clozapine is the most effective antipsychotic in treatment‐resistant schizophrenia. Clozapine causes weight gain and increased diabetes risk. The role of its metabolite norclozapine and clozapine:norclozapine ratio (CLZ/NCLZ) in metabolic effects has been debated.

Early seizures after intracerebral hemorrhage predict drug-resistant epilepsy

, 2015
Seizures are a common complication after an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the epilepsy might even be drug resistant. It is not known which factors determine the treatment response in post-ICH epilepsy.

The impact of medication shortages on paediatric care: A retrospective impact analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Medication shortages are a growing global concern, with potentially greater consequences in paediatric patients because of the limited availability of safe, evidence‐based and appropriately formulated medication. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of medication shortages on paediatric patients by assessing the suitability and safety of ...
