(Pubmed Central) - Apr 16, 2019 Remarkably, AB may occur with a delay of weeks or months after start of treatment. Information to patients, relatives, and caregivers, as well as sufficient clinical follow-up, is crucial, and there is a need for further research to understand the complex relationship between AED mechanisms of action and the induction/worsening of AB.

Clinical, Journal, HEOR: Comparative effectiveness of add-on therapy with newer-generation antiepileptic drugs in Bulgarian patients with refractory epilepsy. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 11, 2019 There is no evidence to suggest that regular monitoring of serum AED levels in pregnancy improves seizure control or affects maternal or fetal outcomes. Despite some similar characteristics of newer-generation antiepileptic drugs' effectiveness, levetiracetam stands out with better dynamic improvement of seizure severity and frequency and satisfactory tolerability; typical for pregabalin is a very good dynamic improvement of seizure severity and frequency mainly in patients with focal seizures, but a lower tolerability, and the main advantage of oxcarbazepine is a good tolerability, efficacy, however, is less satisfactory.

Journal: Problems of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. A view through the prism of time (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2019 However, the question of diagnosis is still a hard problem for neurologists. The questions to be resolved are: gender aspect of the disease, to what extent levetiracetam could be a drug of first choice and to what extent valproats could be replaced; monitoring of children born to mothers with JME, a role of paternal inheritance.

Clinical, Journal: The course and development of epilepsy in patients with typical variant of Rett syndrome and mutations (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2019 One patient with resistant epilepsy was treated with the combination of drugs (levetiracetam, topiramate, zonisamide, benzodiazepine) that led to stopping of seizures during night sleep and decrease in the frequency of daytime seizures by 50%. Further research of epilepsy and efficacy of antiepileptic drugs in Rett syndrome is required.

Clinical, Journal: Pharmacotherapy for Refractory and Super-Refractory Status Epilepticus in Adults. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 7, 2019 ...Most descriptive data are available for levetiracetam, phenytoin and valproate...Ketamine is an antagonist at this receptor and may prove efficient in some patients at later stages...Randomized controlled trials are needed to increase evidence for treatment of refractory and super-refractory status epilepticus, but there are multiple obstacles for realization. Hitherto, prospective multicenter registries for pharmacological treatment may help to improve our knowledge.

Anti-epileptics influence gut microbiota: a possible relationship with drug resistance? () - Apr 5, 2019 - Abstract #ECCMID2019ECCMID_810; These preliminary results suggest that drugs other than antibiotics could impact on gut microbiota and that they should be considered as possible environmental factors modifying the microbial community. The observed changes, in turn, might influence host response to therapy.

Biomarker, Journal: Operation Brain Trauma Therapy: 2016 Update. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 3, 2019 Operation brain trauma therapy suggests that levetiracetam merits additional pre-clinical and clinical evaluation and that glibenclamide and amantadine merit testing in specific TBI phenotypes. Operation brain trauma therapy has established that rigorous, multi-center consortia could revolutionize TBI therapy and biomarker development.

Journal: Evaluation of anticonvulsant and analgesic activity of new hybrid compounds derived from N-phenyl-2-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)-propanamides and -butanamides. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 29, 2019 ...We demonstrated that two molecules, DK-10 (11) and DK-14 (14) show higher anticonvulsant activity and similar safety profile in comparison with valproic acid and much higher in comparison with levetiracetam in the aforementioned test...For this purpose, the hot plate test, the formalin test, and the oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy model were performed...Compound DK-10 (11) had high affinity for voltage-gated sodium channels, whereas compound DK-11 (12) showed weak binding toward sodium and calcium voltage-gated channels and the NMDA receptor. As a result, hybrid compounds reported herein seem to be very promising broad spectrum anticonvulsant molecules with collateral analgesic activity.
