Acute management of seizuresHartY.FOUNDATION YEARS
Acute repetitive seizures, more commonly known as cluster, crescendo or sequential seizures, are defined as episodes of increased seizure activity occurring in patients with refractory epilepsy who are already receiving stable regimens of anticonvulsants. They lie in the seizure spectrum between isolated ...
Aim: To evaluate the knowledge levels and attitudes of physicians regarding acute management of seizures in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was distributed electronically to physicians. The participants were divided into 3 groups ac...
The main risks are coma, seizures, depression of respiratory drive (requiring mechanical ventilation) and ventricular arrhythmias. The management of patients with carbamazepine overdose is primarily supportive. Large overdoses may require intubation and mechanical ventilation. The risks involved in haemo...
Objective We aimed to analyse the prevalence, characteristics, and management of simple and complex febrile seizures. The secondary objective was to compare the risk of underlying organic lesion and epilepsy in both types of seizures, wi... A Rivas-García,C Ferrero-García-Loygorri,LC González-...
The acute stress (AS) response enhances the chance of survival by mobilizing the organism’s energy resources to meet situational demands1,2,3. When the stressor has subsided, successful stress management requires the efficient termination of the stress response to avoid stress-related wear and tear...
Although this field is one of intense clinical and experimental research, many controversies and hurdles still exist in the recognition, monitoring and management of seizures in newborns. In this narrative review, we wish to describe the definition, characteristics, diagnostic work-up, main differential...

Wolff, in Journal of Infection, 2009 Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is usually a monophasic inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the CNS that occurs within days to ...
Interestingly, microglial repopulation reversed the effects of depletion upon KA-induced status epilepticus. Our results demonstrate a beneficial role of microglia in suppressing both acute and chronic seizures, suggesting that microglia are a potential therapeutic target for the management of epilepsy....
59 Animal studies suggest that it is more effective than atropine for control of seizures induced by inhaled organophosphorus nerve agents.60 However, extra-pyramidal effects and seizures are not common features of organophosphorus poisoning.9, 21 Atropine will probably remain the antimuscarinic agent ...
