Journal ArticleDOI
Microglial activation and TNFα production mediate altered CNS excitability following peripheral inflammation
Kiarash Riazi,Michael A. Galic,J. Brent Kuzmiski,Winnie Ho,Keith A. Sharkey,Quentin J. Pittman +5 more
TL;DR: The finding of a microglia-dependent TNFα-mediated increase in CNS excitability provides insight into potential mechanisms underlying the disparate neurological and behavioral changes associated with chronic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokines and brain excitability.
TL;DR: Findings from both the clinical literature and from in vivo and in vitro laboratory studies suggest that cytokines can increase seizure susceptibility and may be involved in epileptogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postnatal Inflammation Increases Seizure Susceptibility in Adult Rats
Michael A. Galic,Kiarash Riazi,James G. Heida,Abdeslam Mouihate,Neil M. Fournier,Sarah J. Spencer,Lisa E. Kalynchuk,G. Campbell Teskey,Quentin J. Pittman +8 more
TL;DR: This article showed that a single LPS injection during a critical postnatal period causes a longlasting increase in seizure susceptibility that is strongly dependent on tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) antibody and mimicked by intracerebroventricular injection of rat recombinant TNFα.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of peripheral inflammation to seizure susceptibility: cytokines and brain excitability.
TL;DR: The focus of the laboratory research is the study of the interaction of systemic inflammatory events with neuronal excitability and seizure susceptibility and possible mechanisms are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence and incidence of NAFLD worldwide: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Kiarash Riazi,Hassan Azhari,Jacob H. Charette,Fox E. Underwood,James King,Elnaz Ehteshami Afshar,Mark G. Swain,Stephen E. Congly,Gilaad G. Kaplan,Abdel Aziz M. Shaheen +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , a systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out to predict the burden of NAFLD by examining and estimating the temporal trends of its worldwide prevalence and incidence.
