Suicidal behavior and antiepileptic drugs in epilepsy: analysis of the emerging evidence. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Two years after the warning issued by the Food and Drug Administration on an increased risk of suicide for people taking antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), a number of pharmacoepidemiologic studies have been published but the scientific community is far from ...

Scotopic threshold response changes after vigabatrin therapy in a child without visual field defects: a new electroretinographic marker of early damage?

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2004
Vigabatrin (VGB) has been widely used in patients affected by drug-resistant epilepsy and West syndrome. Following reports of visual field loss associated with vigabatrin therapy, some authors have investigated retinal electrophysiologic variables to ...

Does the Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA) accurately map visual field loss attributed to vigabatrin? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Purpose Vigabatrin (VGB) is an anti-epileptic medication which has been linked to peripheral constriction of the visual field. Documenting the natural history associated with continued VGB exposure is important when making decisions about the risk and

Homotaurine, a safe blood-brain barrier permeable GABAA-R-specific agonist, ameliorates disease in mouse models of multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
There is a need for treatments that can safely promote regulatory lymphocyte responses. T cells express GABA receptors (GABAA-Rs) and GABA administration can inhibit Th1-mediated processes such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis in mouse models.

Towards a Synthesis of Vigabatrin Using Glycal Chemistry

open access: yesMolecules, 2005
Application of the Ferrier rearrangement led to a novel carbohydrate based synthetic route to 4-aminohexenoic acid viz. (R) and (S)-vigabatrin. The potential of D- glucose or D-galactose as the chiral starting materials for the synthesis of (R) and (S ...

Predicting Epileptogenic Tubers in Patients With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Using a Fusion Model Integrating Lesion Network Mapping and Machine Learning

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Accurate localization of epileptogenic tubers (ETs) in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is essential but challenging, as these tubers lack distinct pathological or genetic markers to differentiate them from other cortical tubers.

Interdependence of clinical factors predicting cognition in children with tuberous sclerosis complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cognitive development in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex is highly variable. Predictors in the infant years would be valuable to counsel parents and to support development.

Vigabatrin-Associated Visual Field Defects

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 2001
The prevalence, risk factors, and long-term outcome of vigabatrin-associated visual field defects were examined in 60 adult patients with partial epilepsy treated with vigabatrin for 7 months to 14 years at the University of Kuopio Hospital, Finland.

Effect of Primidone on Dentate Nucleus γ-Aminobutyric Acid Concentration in Patients With Essential Tremor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
OBJECTIVES: It is not known whether current use of the medication primidone affects brain γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentrations. This is an important potential confound in studies of the pathophysiology of essential tremor (ET), one of the most ...
