[VIRTUAL] Pedophilia in a Female Adolescent: A Diagnostic Dilemma () - May 2, 2021 - Abstract #APA2021APA_981; This case contributes to the limited literature currently available on pedophilia in female adolescents. Clinicians should be aware that pedophilic behavior in this population may be related to co-occurring personality disorders or other conditions.

[VIRTUAL] Jane Against the World: A Case of Bipolar I Disorder With Persecutory Delusions () - May 2, 2021 - Abstract #APA2021APA_619; The achievement of emotion regulation with appropriate coping skills could potentially eliminate the need to pursue repetitive legal action and re-enact situations reminiscent of the past. The hypnotherapy can allow the safe remembrance of traumatic events and the integration of the events in a new context with the aim to reduce or eliminate projections onto situationally irrelevant individuals, and to provide emotional and psychological resolution.

Clinical, Journal, Real-world evidence: Real-world effectiveness and tolerability of carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine in 354 patients with trigeminal neuralgia. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 28, 2021 Persons with AD treated with antiepileptics should be carefully monitored due to their increased risk of falling and fractures. Our real-world study show that carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are effective in most patients with trigeminal neuralgia; nevertheless, side effects are still a major issue, particularly in patients with secondary and idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia.

Review, Journal: Expert consensus of the Chinese Association for the Study of Pain on ion channel drugs for neuropathic pain. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 15, 2021 Here, we reviewed the mechanism and characteristics of sodium and calcium channel drugs, and developed recommendations for the therapeutic principles and clinical practice for carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, lidocaine, bulleyaconitine A, pregabalin, and gabapentin. We hope this guideline provides guidance to clinicians and patients on the use of ion channel drugs for the management of NPP.

Review, Journal: Carbamazepine-, Oxcarbazepine-, Eslicarbazepine-Associated Movement Disorder: A Literature Review. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 13, 2021 We believe that the study of CBZ contributes not only to the improvement of this drug but also to the knowledge about the drug-induced MD of OXC and ESL. In the literature, the description of the MD onset and recovery has been poorly reported.

Preclinical, Journal: Prenatal Exposure to Oxcarbazepine Increases Hippocampal Apoptosis in Rat Offspring. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 24, 2021 The results demonstrate that OXC administered during gestation is pro-apoptotic, alters the cytoarchitecture of the hippocampus, reduces litter size, and probably influences postnatal weight. We provide evidence of the proapoptotic effect of CBZ when administered early in gestation.

[VIRTUAL] Bone density screening in epilepsy patients () - Mar 18, 2021 - Abstract #AAN2021AAN_882; There is room for improvement for neurologists to screen high risk patients for osteoporosis and osteopenia as well as supplementing those high risk patients with calcium and Vitamin D. Education in identifying high risk patients will improve quality care in outpatient offices. A future project will investigate if there was better screening after educational intervention.

Clinical, Observational data, Journal: Gingival overgrowth induced by anticonvulsant drugs: A cross-sectional study on epileptic patients. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 16, 2021 In addition to phenytoin, also lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, and phenobarbital were associated with increased prevalence of gingival overgrowth. In the management of epileptic patients, dentists should take into account different drugs as possible causes for gingival overgrowth and warn for possible alternatives.

Here we describe the successful use of pulse dose steroids for management of severe lung involvement with pneumonitis associated with DRESS syndrome.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Anti-seizure medications and efficacy against focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures: A systematic review with relevance for SUDEP prevention. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 2, 2021 The ASMs that yielded the most data (3 or more studies) were topiramate (TPM), followed by tiagabine (TGB), brivaracetam (BRV), and lamotrigine (LTG)...Promising results, but with data from only one or two studies, were seen with cenobamate (18-59% efficacy above placebo), lacosamide (45.1-78.7%), levetiracetam (40.1-60.3%), oxcarbazepine (58.5-81.5%), and gabapentin (50-53.8%)...This review was our attempt at filling a gap in the literature and calling for universal reporting of data specific to BTC seizure reduction in all future studies, preferably including specific reporting on nocturnal BTCS. This will help enable rational ASM selection to minimize BTC seizures and thereby decrease the risk of SUDEP.

Journal, Monotherapy: Evidence-based Anti-seizure Monotherapy in Newly Diagnosed Epilepsy: a New Approach. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 9, 2021 Lamotrigine and levetiracetam can be used as first choice for focal seizures and generalized epilepsy with GTC, suitable in all age-groups and for both men and women. Recommendations for GTC seizures have lower evidence than those for focal seizures.

Journal: Complete loss of KCNA1 activity causes neonatal epileptic encephalopathy and dyskinesia. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 3, 2021 This newly identified variant is the first to be reported to act in a recessive mode of inheritance in KCNA1. These findings serve as a cautionary tale for the diagnosis of channelopathies, in which an unreported phenotypic presentation or mode of inheritance for the variant of interest can hinder the identification of causative variants and adequate treatment choice.

Review, Journal: Trigeminal neuralgia : Modern diagnostic workup and treatment (Pubmed Central) - Jan 9, 2021 In patients insufficiently responding to medical treatment, there are neurosurgical treatment options giving very good results. The best long-term results have been described for microvascular decompression, but percutaneous and radiosurgical treatments also are good options, especially in patients with an increased surgical risk profile, in secondary trigeminal neuralgia, and in case of recurrence after microvascular decompression.
