Collateral-Pricking and Bloodletting Cupping Combined with Electroacupuncture for Postherpetic Neuralgia: A Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: Existing evidence suggests that the combination of collateral-pricking and bloodletting cupping and electroacupuncture demonstrates efficacy in pain relief, improvement of sleep quality, and enhanced therapeutic outcomes for patients with postherpetic neuralgia. However, further validation through large-scale multicenter randomized controlled trials is warranted due to the limited quantity and quality of the included literature in this study.PMID:38430157 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Teratogenicity of zonisamide and other little-used antiseizure medications
Over more than two decades, a very considerable majority of the pregnancies of Australian women with epilepsy that have been enrolled in the Raoul Wallenberg Australian Pregnancy Register of Antiepileptic Drugs (APR) have been managed with a relatively small number of the antiseizure medications (ASMs) that are available in the country. The most frequently used ASMs have been carbamazepine (CBZ), lamotrigine (LTG), levetiracetam (LEV) and valproate (VPA) ([8]b). Topiramate (TPM) and clonazepam (CZP) have had less extensive use ([8]b). (Source: Seizure: European Journal of Epilepsy)

Pharmacological and Non-pharmacological Approaches for the Management of Neuropathic Pain in Multiple Sclerosis
The objective of this ar ticle is to provide an overview of literature on pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies employed in the management of neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis. Pharmacological options include cannabinoids, muscle relaxants (tizanidine, baclofen, dantrolene), anticonvulsants (benzodiazepine s, gabapentin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, lamotrigine), antidepressants (duloxetine, venlafaxine, tricyclic antidepressants), opioids (naltrexone), and botulinum toxin variants, which have evidence from various clinical trials. Non-pharmacological approaches for trigeminal neuralgia may include neuro sur...

Evaluation of pharmaceutical consumption between urban and suburban catchments in China by wastewater-based epidemiology
Environ Res. 2024 Feb 24:118544. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118544. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is amply used for estimating human consumption of chemicals, yet information on regional variation of pharmaceuticals and their environmental fate are scarce. Thus, this study aims to estimate the consumption of three cardiovascular, four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals (NSAIDs), and four psychoactive pharmaceuticals between urban and suburban catchments in China by WBE, and to explore their removal efficiencies and ecological risks. Eleven analytes were detected in both infl...

Behavioral and neurotransmitter changes on antiepileptic drugs treatment in the zebrafish pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure model
In this study, we observed that 5-HT and DA levels in the brain increased immediately after PTZ-induced seizures. Behavioral tests clearly showed that all of these AEDs suppressed the PTZ-induced seizures. Upon treatment of PTZ-induced seizures with these AEDs, CBZ decreased the glutamic acid and FFR increased the GABA levels; however, no neurotransmitter changes were observed in the brain after LEV administration. Thus, we demonstrated a series of neurotransmitter changes linked to behavioral changes during PTZ-induced epileptic seizures when LEV, CBZ, or FFR were administered. These findings will lead to a more detailed ...
