BACKGROUND Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. The most optimal use of drugs was limited due to their widespread systemic and central side effects. In contrast, focal drug delivery to epileptogenic focus based on superparamagnetic carrier is considered to

The present study evaluated the neuroprotective and antiepileptic efficacy of ellagic acid (EA) encapsulated in calcium-alginate nanoparticles (Ca²⁺-ALG NPs) in pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures in male mice. EA was encapsulated in ALG NPs using a nanospray drying method followed

BACKGROUND Local biological drug delivery in the brain is an innovative field of medicine that developed rapidly in recent years. Our report illustrates a unique case of de novo development of a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) after implantation of genetically modified allogeneic

Sandifer's syndrome is a dystonic movement disorder in infants with gastroesophageal reflux (GER). It is probably misdiagnosed as epileptic seizures. We report the case of a 5-month-old infant with no past medical history admitted to a pediatric unit for suspicion of infantile spasms. She presented

OBJECTIVE Pregabalin (PRG), an analog of gamma-aminobutyric acid, reduces the release of many neurotransmitters, including glutamate, and noradrenaline. It is used for the treatment of epilepsy; simple and complex partial convulsion. The present research work aims to ensure a high drug absorption by

The objective of the study was to target clonazepam to the brain through the intranasal olfactory mucosa using nanolipid carriers loaded with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to allow nanocarrier guidance and retention with an external magnetic field. For improved delivery, the
