Clinical considerations in transitioning patients with epilepsy from clonazepam to clobazam: a case series. [PDF]
IntroductionIn treating refractory epilepsy, many clinicians are interested in methods used to transition patients receiving clonazepam to clobazam to maintain or increase seizure control, improve tolerability of patients' overall drug therapy regimens ...

Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy [PDF]
Aim: The molecular mechanism of epileptogenesis in temporal lobe epilepsy is still unclear. Experimental studies have suggested that matrix metalloproteinases have important roles in this process, but human studies are limited.

Refractory Status Epilepticus in Children; Risk Factors, Management and Early Outcome
Introduction: Refractory status epilepticus is a life-threatening disease in children wherein seizure movements don't response to first line anti convulsion drugs. This study reviewed risk factors, management and early outcome of children with refractory

Anti-epileptic effect of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides by inhibition of intracellular calcium accumulation and stimulation of expression of CaMKII a in epileptic hippocampal neurons [PDF]
Purpose: To investigate the mechanism of the anti-epileptic effect of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP), the changes of intracellular calcium and CaMK II a expression in a model of epileptic neurons were investigated.
