Status Epilepticus —Work-Up and Management in Children
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1719076Status epilepticus (SE) is one of the most common neurological emergencies in children and has a mortality of 2 to 4%. Admissions for SE are very resource-consuming, especially in refractory and super-refractory SE. An increasing understanding of the pathophysiology of SE leaves room for improving SE treatment protocols, including medication choice and timing. Selecting the most efficacious medications and giving them in a timely manner may improve outcomes. Benzodiazepines are commonly used as first line and they can be used in the prehospital setting, where most SE episodes begin. ...

Neurogenic Bladder: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Management
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713876Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a common sequel of neurological disease resulting in symptoms that significantly impacts quality of life. The site of the neurological lesion and its nature influence the pattern of dysfunction. The risk for developing upper urinary tract damage and renal failure is considerably lower in patients with slowly progressive nontraumatic neurological disorders, compared with those with spinal cord injury or spina bifida. This acknowledged difference in morbidity is considered when developing appropriate management algorithms. The preliminary evaluation c...

Management of Orthostatic Hypotension, Postprandial Hypotension, and Supine Hypertension
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713886This review provides recommendations for the treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH), postprandial hypotension, and supine hypertension. It focuses on novel treatment strategies and new insights into the mechanism underlying these conditions. Our goal is to provide practical advice for clinicians on how to screen, diagnose, and treat these conditions with nonpharmacological and pharmacological approaches. For each disorder, we offered a stepwise recommendation on how to apply these new concepts to successfully ameliorate the symptoms associated with OH to prevent syncop...
