Seizures, cysticercosis and rural-to-urban migration: the PERU MIGRANT study. [PDF]

, 2015
OBJECTIVES: To examine the prevalence of seizures, epilepsy and seropositivity to cysticercosis in rural villagers (cysticercosis-endemic setting), rural-to-urban migrants into a non-endemic urban shanty town and urban inhabitants of the same non-endemic

A proposal to declare neurocysticercosis an international reportable disease

Bulletin of the World Health Organization
Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the nervous system caused by Taenia solium. It is the most important human parasitic neurological disease and a common cause of epilepsy in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, representing enormous costs for ...

Th1/Th2 Imbalance in Peripheral Blood Echoes Microglia State Dynamics in CNS During TLE Progression

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 39, October 23, 2024.
This study identifies a significant association between peripheral Th1/Th2 imbalance and central microglia state dynamics during temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) progression. It underscores the complex interaction between peripheral CD4+ T cells and central microglia in orchestrating the ‘systemic‐central’ immune response in TLE, with Notch 1 emerging as a

Spinal Adhesive Arachnoidopathy, the Disorder More Than Simply Adhesive Arachnoiditis: A Comprehensive Systematic Review of 510 Cases

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 30, Issue 10, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Spinal adhesive arachnoidopathy (SAA) is a chronic pathology associated with persistent inflammatory responses in the arachnoid. Adhesive arachnoiditis (AA) is one of the major forms of SAA, with accompanying secondary complications.

Ependymal cells undergo astrocyte‐like reactivity in response to neuroinflammation

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 168, Issue 10, Page 3449-3466, October 2024.
Ependymal cells are unique glia that regulate local cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microcirculation and form a dynamic interface between the brain and CSF. Here, we describe an unrecognized astrocyte‐like reactive transcriptomic profile that is assumed by ependymal cells in response to chronic neuroinflammation, that can be recapitulated following exposure ...

Neurocysticercosis in Radiographically Imaged Seizure Patients in U.S. Emergency Departments

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Neurocysticercosis appears to be on the rise in the United States, based on immigration patterns and published cases series, including reports of domestic acquisition. We used a collaborative network of U.S.

Hippocampal dentate granule cells in temporal lobe epilepsy: A morphometry and transcriptomic study

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 50, Issue 5, October 2024.
Hippocampal dentate granule cells are more dispersed in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Astrogliosis, particularly A1 astrocyte transcriptomic signature, is observed in TLE dentate gyrus, together with activated complement cascade, apoptosis and extracellular matrix remodelling.
