SleepwalkingCurrent Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 18 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Valérie Cochen De Cock
Sleepwalking (SW) is a parasomnia, an abnormal behavior occurring during sleep.
SW is a non-REM sleep parasomnia, an arousal disorder, like sleep terrors and
confusional arousals. SW results from an incomplete arousal from slow-wave
sleep, some regions of the cerebral cortex being awake and allowing movement and
vision for example and others being asleep, preventing memorization or judgment.

Treatment Considerations in the Radiologically Isolated SyndromeCurrent Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 22 - Trang 1-8 - 2020
Naila Makhani
This review provides the reader with updated information needed to make an
accurate diagnosis of radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS), discusses
controversies and considerations related to therapeutic intervention in RIS, and
summarizes ongoing clinical intervention trials. Individuals with RIS lack
clinical neurological symptoms but are at risk for the subsequent development of
a first clinical... hiện toàn bộ
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathyCurrent Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 5 - Trang 357-364 - 2003
Jonathan S. Katz, David S. Saperstein
Although there are close to 10 randomized trials showing efficacy for
prednisone, intravenous immunoglobulin, or plasmapheresis in chronic
inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), large differences in cost,
side effect profiles, and ease of use create controversy over the therapy that
is best. Most clinicians use intravenous immunoglobulin or prednisone as
first-line therapy. Unfortunatel... hiện toàn bộ
Central nervous system infections in transplantationCurrent Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 8 - Trang 193-201 - 2006
Todd Czartoski
Central nervous system (CNS) infections are a rare but serious complication of
transplantation. An appropriate diagnostic workup should be streamlined with
stratification of infection risk by length and degree of immune suppression,
lesion localization, and timing. Polymerase chain reaction has high sensitivity
and specificity for rapid identification of viral infections and should be used
when av... hiện toàn bộ
Management of Serotonin Syndrome and Neuroleptic Malignant SyndromeCurrent Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 18 - Trang 1-8 - 2016
Linn E. Katus, Steven J. Frucht
Serotonin syndrome (SS) and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) can present
similarly and range in severity from mild to life-threatening. Although they are
easily misdiagnosed, each is distinct clinically and pathophysiologically. It is
important to distinguish between the two, as therapeutic options differ. An
accurate and thorough medication history plus knowledge of the various clinical

Treatment of Mitochondrial DisordersCurrent Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 16 - Trang 1-20 - 2014
Sreenivas Avula, Sumit Parikh, Scott Demarest, Jonathan Kurz, Andrea Gropman
While numerous treatments for mitochondrial disorders have been suggested,
relatively few have undergone controlled clinical trials. Treatment of these
disorders is challenging, as only symptomatic therapy is available. In this
review we will focus on newer drugs and treatment trials in mitochondrial
diseases, with a special focus on medications to avoid in treating epilepsy and
ICU patient with m... hiện toàn bộ
Management of Traumatic Brain InjuryCurrent Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 12 - Trang 142-154 - 2010
Andrew Losiniecki, Lori Shutter
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex disease process that requires constant
attention as one manages the associated body systems. Even though an “isolated”
brain injury may be the cause for admission to the hospital, the injured brain
cannot be thought of in isolation from the remainder of the body. All body
systems, from cardiac to pulmonary, need to be addressed as one moves from the

Anti-Epileptic Drugs and Hormonal TreatmentsCurrent Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 16 - Trang 1-9 - 2014
Clare A. Johnston, Pamela M. Crawford
Epilepsy and the medications used in its treatment are known to affect the
menstrual cycle, aspects of contraception, and bone health in women. Adolescence
is an important time to review the diagnosis of both epilepsy and the epilepsy
syndrome because of the implications and decisions, which should be made
regarding antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment. In girls, once they are on AED
therapy, seizur... hiện toàn bộ
