Journal ArticleDOI
A new model of chronic temporal lobe epilepsy induced by electrical stimulation of the amygdala in rat.
TL;DR: The present data indicate that focal stimulation of the amygdala initiates a cascade of events that lead to the development of spontaneous seizures in rats, a new tool to better mimic different aspects of human TLE for investigation of the pathogenesis of TLE or the effects of new antiepileptic compounds on status epilepticus, epileptogenesis, and spontaneous seizures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine: a double-blind study
TL;DR: The antiepileptic efficacy and side-effects of oxcarbazepine (OXC), a new carbamazepine derivate, were evaluated in a double-blind study and the incidence of side- effects during the initiation phase was lower with OXC suggesting better tolerability of OxC compared to CBZ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) penetrates readily into the cerebrospinal fluid of children after intravenous administration
TL;DR: Paracetamol permeates readily into the cerebrospinal fluid of children, which enables the rapid central analgesic and antipyretic action of intravenous par acetamol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopaminergic system and monoamine oxidase-B activity in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Coexistent PD pathology can explain the loss of DA in the striatum and the presence of clinical PD symptoms in some patients with AD/SDAT, but the clinical relevance of these dopaminergic alterations is unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive effects of oxcarbazepine and phenytoin monotherapy in newly diagnosed epilepsy: one year follow-up.
TL;DR: The number of successfully treated patients was similar in both OXC and PHT groups, and results revealed no evidence favoring either antiepileptic over the other, as well as cognitive side effects.
