Genetics of Dravet Syndrome and its Targeted Therapy by Nanomedicine: A Roadmap for Future Treatment of Drug Resistant Seizures
Curr Mol Pharmacol. 2022 Aug 19. doi: 10.2174/1874467215666220819143105. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), epilepsy is the 4th most prevalent neurological disorder after migraine, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. There are numerous types of epileptic syndrome that are reported in children; one of them is Dravet syndrome. It is a neurological disorder of infants' outset during the first year of life. Dravet syndrome is a genetically determined syndrome and the most studied form of genetic epilepsy. Nearly 70-80% of its cases are due to genetic alterations in the SCN1A gene, and ...

Clinical features, pathogenesis, and management of stroke-like episodes due to MELAS
AbstractMitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a disease that should be considered as a differential diagnosis to acute ischemic stroke taking into account its onset pattern and neurological symptoms, which are similar to those of an ischemic stroke. Technological advancements in neuroimaging modalities have greatly facilitated differential diagnosis between stroke and MELAS on diagnostic imaging. Stroke-like episodes in MELAS have the following features: (1) symptoms are neurolocalized according to lesion site; (2) epileptic seizures are often present; (3) lesion distri...

Gene Therapy Approach with an Emphasis on Growth Factors: Theoretical and Clinical Outcomes in Neurodegenerative Diseases
This article mainly focuses on the delivering modes of genetic materials in the CNS, which includes viral and non-viral vectors and their application in gene therapy. Despite the many clinical trials conducted so far, data have shown disappointing outcomes. The efforts done to improve outcomes, efficacy, and safety in the identification of targets in various neurological disorders are also discussed here. Adapting gene therapy as a new therapeutic approach for treating neurological disorders seems to be promising, with early detection and delivery of therapy before the neuron is lost, helping a lot the development of new t...

Mitochondrial Disorders
CONCLUSION: Patients with mitochondrial diseases have highly varied manifestations and can thus present to physicians in practically any branch of medicine. A correct diagnosis is the prerequisite for genetic counseling and for the initiation of personalized treatment.PMID:34158150 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2021.0251
