Multimorbidity and the Etiology of Schizophrenia
Curr Psychiatry Rep. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1007/s11920-024-01500-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: A global study of multimorbidity in schizophrenia, especially of the association with physical conditions, might offer much needed etiological insights.RECENT FINDINGS: Our review suggests that life-style factors and medication related to schizophrenia are only part of the explanation of the increase in risk for cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary disorders, and some cancers. Positive associations with autoimmune disorders (with the exception of rheumatoid arthritis) and epilepsy are promising avenues of res...

Decrease in phase slip rates and phase cone structures during seizure evolution and epileptogenic activities derived from microgrid ECoG data
Curr Res Neurobiol. 2024 Feb 19;6:100126. doi: 10.1016/j.crneur.2024.100126. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTSudden phase changes are related to cortical phase transitions, which likely change in frequency and spatial distribution as epileptogenic activity evolves. A 100 s long section of micro-ECoG data obtained before and during a seizure was selected and analyzed. In addition, nine other short-duration epileptic events were also examined. The data was collected at 420 Hz, imported into MATLAB, downsampled to 200 Hz, and filtered in the 1-50 Hz band. The Hilbert transform was applied to compute the analytic phase, which was the...

Levetiracetam Induced Behavioural Changes in an Adult Female Patient: A Case Report
CONCLUSION: Consequently, the drug was discontinued, resulting in the resolution of the behavioural symptoms. This case highlights levetiracetam as the likely causative factor behind the observed significant behavioural changes.PMID:38584560 | DOI:10.2174/0115748863285429240326172920 (Source: Epilepsy Curr)
