Abstract

This review article aims to describe the strong association between sleep and epilepsy. Sleep disturbance or sleep disorders are frequently observed comorbid conditions in patients with epilepsy. Sleep state and circadian rhythm influence seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy. In fact, some sleep syndromes are categorized as sleep-related epilepsy. Furthermore, sleep deprivation strongly influences seizure occurrence. The magnitude of the effects of sleep on seizure occurrence is variable, as there are many types of epilepsy. On the other hand, epilepsy affects sleep via both seizure activity and the side effects of treatments administered for epilepsy. Epileptic seizures during sleep often disturb sleep and antiepileptic drugs can alter sleep architecture; some antiepileptic drugs even induce somnolence. Although the close relationship between sleep and epilepsy is evident, the mechanisms underlying this connection remain unknown. Further studies are necessary to elucidate these mechanisms.

29.05.2024 Hyponatriämie Nachrichten

Eine ältere Frau trinkt regelmäßig Sennesblättertee gegen ihre Verstopfung. Der scheint plötzlich gut zu wirken. Auf Durchfall und Erbrechen folgt allerdings eine Hyponatriämie. Nach deren Korrektur kommt es plötzlich zu progredienten Kognitions- und Verhaltensstörungen.

Mit einem Neurotrophin-Rezeptor-Modulator lässt sich möglicherweise eine bestehende Alzheimerdemenz etwas abschwächen: Erste Phase-2-Daten deuten auf einen verbesserten Synapsenschutz.

Sozialer Aufstieg verringert Demenzgefahr

24.05.2024 Demenz Nachrichten

Ein hohes soziales Niveau ist mit die beste Versicherung gegen eine Demenz. Noch geringer ist das Demenzrisiko für Menschen, die sozial aufsteigen: Sie gewinnen fast zwei demenzfreie Lebensjahre. Umgekehrt steigt die Demenzgefahr beim sozialen Abstieg.

Hirnblutung unter DOAK und VKA ähnlich bedrohlich

17.05.2024 Direkte orale Antikoagulanzien Nachrichten

Kommt es zu einer nichttraumatischen Hirnblutung, spielt es keine große Rolle, ob die Betroffenen zuvor direkt wirksame orale Antikoagulanzien oder Marcumar bekommen haben: Die Prognose ist ähnlich schlecht.
