Thromboembolic Risks with Concurrent Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Antiseizure Medications: A Population-Based Analysis
ConclusionsAlthough CYP/P-gp-modulating antiseizure medications were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke when paired with DOAC in the primary analysis, such a phenomenon was not found among patients with epilepsy who took phenytoin, valproate, or levetiracetam with DOAC. Therefore, these antiseizure medication options among patients with epilepsy with concurrent DOAC should not be restricted solely based on their potential drug –drug interactions. Yet, the increased mortality during concurrent use of DOAC with phenytoin or valproate might call for caution.

Avellis syndrome with ipsilateral prosopalgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and central post-stroke pain: A case report and literature review
We reported a case of Avellis syndrome who manifested as the typical reported manifestations. The patient, what’s more, presented with ipsilateral trigeminal, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and central poststroke pain which were described for the first time. It is of great significance for clinicians to recognize the typical as well as other manifestations which helps to make a clear diagnosis.

Serendipity and Observations in Functional Neurosurgery: From James Parkinson ’s Stroke to Hamani’s & amp; Lozano ’s Flashbacks
Background: Serendipity and observations have a noble tradition in medicine, including neurology, and are responsible for many medical treatments (carbamazepine for tic douloureux, amantadine for Parkinson ’s disease, gabapentin for restless legs…). We aimed at examining the contribution of serendipity and observations to functional neurosurgery. Scholarly publications relevant to the history of functional neurosurgery for movement and psychiatric disorders were reviewed, starting from the pre-ste reotactic era. The documents were scrutinized with respect to indications for surgery, surgical methods, and brain targets,...

Harnessing cortical plasticity via gabapentinoid administration promotes recovery after stroke
AbstractStroke causes devastating sensory-motor deficits and long-term disability due to disruption of descending motor pathways. Restoration of these functions enables independent living and therefore represents a high priority for those afflicted by stroke. Here, we report that daily administration of gabapentin, a clinically approved drug already used to treat various neurological disorders, promotes structural and functional plasticity of the corticospinal pathway after photothrombotic cortical stroke in adult mice. We found that gabapentin administration had no effects on vascular occlusion, haemodynamic changes nor s...

Can I use DOAC in a patient with renal disease?
Case A 76-year-old man is diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. His comorbid conditions are hypertension, diabetes complicated by neuropathy, and chronic kidney disease stage 3. His current medications include metformin, lisinopril, gabapentin, and aspirin. His most recent laboratories showed a creatinine 1.8, creatinine clearance (CrCl) 35 mL/min, hemoglobin 11g/dL, and international normalized ratio 1.0. His congestive heart failure, hypertension, age, diabetes, stroke, vascular disease, and sex (CHADSVASc) score is 4. Which medication should we use to prevent stroke in this patient?  Brief overview of the is...

Treatment of hiccups in stroke rehabilitation with gabapentin: A case series and focused clinical review.
CONCLUSION: Evidence on the use of gabapentin for persistent or intractable hiccups is limited. This case series expands on the current literature by examining and comparing the current literature to our cases and exploring issues related to dosing, titration, side effects, and adjuncts to gabapentin.

A COVID-19 patient with intense burning pain
AbstractA woman in her forties with asthma and COPD was admitted to a general medical floor with respiratory symptoms, body aches, and anosmia. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction detected severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. Admission labs, including biomarkers of the systemic immunological dysfunction seen in many cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), were within normal ranges. On the second day of admission, she developed neck and back pain that was constant, burning in quality, and exacerbated by light touch and heat. Wearing clothing caused pain and interfered with her sleep. The area w...

What Are Some Risk Factors for Cerebral Palsy?
Discussion The term, cerebral palsy, or CP has gone through many iterations with the first description in 1861 by W.J. Little who described it as “The condition of spastic rigidity of the limbs of newborn children.” The most recent definition is from Rosenbaun et al. in 2007 which states it is “a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cog...

The Prevalence and Factors Associated with Antiepileptic Drug Use in US Nursing Home Residents
ConclusionsAED use was common in nursing homes, with gabapentin most commonly used (presumably for pain). That multiple comorbidities were associated with AED use underscores the need for future studies to investigate the safety and effectiveness of AED use in nursing home residents.

Intractable Central Pain in a Patient With Diffuse Glioma
Central neuropathic pain can be difficult to treat and, subsequently, cause a great amount of disability and distress to patients, which limits quality of life. Common etiologies include the following: stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, infection, vasculitis, and malignancy. This case is a description of an 18-yr-old male patient diagnosed with a grade IV diffuse glioma who experienced severe neuropathic pain refractory to first-line treatment options including the following: gabapentinoids, tricyclic antidepressants, and selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. The patient remained on high-...

Efficacy of trazodone for treating paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity presenting after thalamic hemorrhage: A case report.
Authors: Morinaga Y, Nii K, Sakamoto K, Inoue R, Mitsutake T, Hanada H Abstract Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a clinical condition characterized by abnormal paroxysmal surges in sympathetic nervous system activity. PSH is known to occur after severe head injury and hypoxic encephalopathy. Cases of PSH that develop after stroke have been reported worldwide; however, PSH is not commonly reported in the field of stroke research in Japan. Some studies have suggested that gabapentin may improve the symptoms of PSH. To our knowledge, this is the first case report demonstrating the efficacy of trazodone fo...
