BACKGROUND
Narcolepsy is a lifelong neurological disorder with onset commonly in childhood or adolescence. No drugs are indicated for cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness in paediatric patients with narcolepsy. Sodium oxybate is approved for use in adult patients with excessive daytime
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory disease of central nervous system classically characterized by acute, severe episodes of optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis, usually with a relapsing course. The identification of an autoantibody exclusively detected in NMO
Cesarean section, as a stressor, inevitably produces negative emotions such as anxiety and may cause intraoperative discomfort and postoperative pain. Butorphanol is a commonly used analgesic in cesarean section. Butorphanol's postoperative analgesia can reduce the incidence of postoperative
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the long-term results of surgical treatment of children with pathological kinking of the internal carotid artery (PK ICA). Fifty children (42 boys and 8 girls) aged 5 to 16 years (range 11.1+/-0.32) with PK ICA were operated on. PK ICA was diagnosed by
Fifteen epileptic patients with mild seizures of the narcolepsy type were treated with a combination of succinimide (average dose 750 mg) and dipropylacetate (average dose 1,200 mg), medication with each drug alone having brought no success. The combination of drugs stopped the seizures in eleven
Modafinil is a non-amphetamine stimulant that is prescribed for narcolepsy-associated sleepiness as well as reported off-licence uses among university students looking to improve wakefulness and focus. There is limited information in the medical literature about supratherapeutic modafinil dosage,
Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) is no longer used as an anaesthetic induction agent because of the high incidence of myoclonic seizures and vomiting. However, it is used occasionally in Europe for the treatment of narcolepsy, alcohol dependence and opiate dependence. Since the early 1990s, GHB has
The illicit recreational drug of abuse, γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a potent central nervous system depressant and is often encountered during forensic investigations of living and deceased persons. The sodium salt of GHB is registered as a therapeutic agent (Xyrem®), approved in some countries for
