Risk Factors for Postischemic Stroke Epilepsy in Young Adults: A Nationwide Population-Based Study in Taiwan
ConclusionsStroke severity, aphasia, malignancy, and drug abuse were associated increased risk of PSE and statin use may protect against PSE in young adults. Reducing the severity of stroke, statin use and controlling unhealthy behaviors might be able to decrease the development of PSE. Since PSE is associated with poor outcomes, early identification or intervention of PSE based on the risk factors might reduce the harmful effects of PSE.

Cefepime Induced Neurotoxicity Mimicking Clinical Presentation of Left Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2022 Jan 25;31(1):41-45.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Cefepime is a widely used antibiotic which was known to have neurotoxicity resulted from its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and a wide variety of symptoms had been documented. Here we reported a case of Cefepime induced neurotoxicity with rare presentation. The aim of this study was to improve the knowledge of this condition.CASE REPORT: A 89-year-old female with a history of ESRD (end stage renal disease) and superimposed acute cholecystitis was treated with Cefepime.

Early Rehabilitation after Acute Stroke:The Golden Recovery Period
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2022 Jan 18. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Neuroplasticity, a condition wherein the brain's dynamic response to injury is heightened and rehabilitation might be effective, is observed shortly after acute stroke. However, although several trials have demonstrated that initiating treatment within 24 hours after stroke is potentially harmful, some have shown that early rehabilitation of patients is beneficial. Administration of constraint-induced movement therapy within two weeks after stroke appears to be beneficial for the upper extremities. In addition,...
