Primary argon laser trabeculoplasty vs pilocarpine 2% in open angle glaucoma : Two years follow-up study

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997
In a prospective study, the efficacy of argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) was evaluated and compared with pilocarpine 2% as primary treatment in newly diagnosed primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).

Modeling temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis in rats using the selective neurotoxin stable substance P‐saporin

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
On day 0 adult male and female rats were injected with Stable Substance P‐Saporin (SSP‐SAP) at 4 unilateral sites along the longitudinal axis of the dentate gyrus. Rats exhibited spontaneous electrographic and behavioral reactive seizures between days 4‐6. There was a progressive loss of CA1 and CA3 neurons and a progressive increase in astrocytes over

Strain differences in seizure-induced cell death following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus

Neurobiology of Disease, 2012
Mouse strains differ from one another in their susceptibility to seizure-induced excitotoxic cell death. Previously, we have demonstrated that mature inbred strains of mice show remarkable genetic differences in susceptibility to the neuropathological ...

Lipid‐based Nano‐delivery systems as a promising strategy for the treatment of epilepsy: Current status and challenges

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a prevalent chronic neurological disorder characterized by abnormal neuronal electrical activity. The primary treatment modality for individuals with epilepsy (PWE) is antiseizure medication (ASM). The multiple potential factors contributing to treatment resistance in epilepsy may be attributed to the inability of ASMs to

Cytotoxicity of pilocarpine to human corneal stromal cells and its underlying cytotoxic mechanisms [PDF]

International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016
AIM: To examine the cytotoxic effect of pilocarpine, an anti-glaucoma drug, on human corneal stromal (HCS) cells and its underlying cytotoxic mechanisms using an in vitro model of non-transfected HCS cells.

Timing is everything: The effect of early‐life seizures on developing neuronal circuits subserving spatial memory

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatial memory, the aspect of memory involving encoding and retrieval of information regarding one's environment and spatial orientation, is a complex biological function incorporating multiple neuronal networks. Hippocampus‐dependent spatial memory is not innate and emerges during development in both humans and rodents.

An algorithm for seizure detection in rodents

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy animal research often relies on long‐term intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) recordings. Here, we describe an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm for automatic detection of seizures. Methods The algorithm was trained on iEEG recordings of three mouse models of chronic epilepsy: (1) the pilocarpine model of ...

Artificial intelligence in preclinical epilepsy research: Current state, potential, and challenges

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Preclinical translational epilepsy research uses animal models to better understand the mechanisms underlying epilepsy and its comorbidities, as well as to analyze and develop potential treatments that may mitigate this neurological disorder and its associated conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool across

Knockdown of Carboxypeptidase A6 in Zebrafish Larvae Reduces Response to Seizure-Inducing Drugs and Causes Changes in the Level of mRNAs Encoding Signaling Molecules. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Carboxypeptidase A6 (CPA6) is an extracellular matrix metallocarboxypeptidase that modulates peptide and protein function by removal of hydrophobic C-terminal amino acids.
