The effects of self-management education and support on self-efficacy, self-esteem, and quality of life among patients with epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic disease and the most prevalent neurologic conSdition after stroke [1]. It is characterized by recurrent seizures, i.e., short periods of involuntary movements of some or all parts of the body, which are sometimes associated with the loss of consciousness and loss of bowel or bladder control [2, 3]. The estimated ratio of patients with epilepsy (PWE) at a specific point in time is 4 –10 per 1000 population, and approximately 75% of PWE live in developing countries [4]. The prevalence of epilepsy is also high in Iran and is reported to be 5% [5].

Epilepsia Partialis Continua a Clinical Feature of a Missense Variant in the ADCK3 Gene and Poor Response to Therapy
ConclusionsA novel homozygous missense variant [NM_020247.5: c.814G>T; (p.Gly272Cys)] was identified within theADCK3 gene, which is the first mutation in this gene in the Iranian population. Bioinformatics analysis showed this variant is damaging. Based on our patient, clinicians should consider genetic testing earlier to instant diagnosis and satisfactory treatment based on exact etiology to prevent further neurologic sequelae.

Neurological Involvement in Primary Systemic Vasculitis
Conclusion Neurological involvement is a common complication of PSV (Table 1), and neurologists play an important role in the identification and diagnosis of PSV patients with otherwise unexplained neurological symptoms as their chief complaint. This article summarizes the neurological manifestations of PSV and hopes to improve neuroscientists' understanding of this broad range of diseases. TABLE 1 Table 1. Common CNS and PNS involvements of primary systemic vasculitis. Author Contributions SZ conceived the article and wrote the manuscript. DY and GT reviewed and edited the manuscript. All authors ...
