Anticonvulsant is one of the Common Drug Used in Childhood Absence Epilepsy Treatment

Childhood Absence Epilepsy Treatment 

Childhood absence epilepsy is a condition in which a child experiences seizures without an aura. The seizures are typically brief and occur in conjunction with behavioral arrest, eyelid fluttering, and hand automatisms. Children with this condition usually experience their first seizure when they are around three years old. The duration of a typical absence seizure is nine to fourteen seconds, although the exact duration of a seizure can vary.

The typical electroencephalogram (EEG) shows generalized spike and wave discharges at frequencies ranging from three to 4.5 Hz. Moreover, the frequency of the EEG decreases gradually from the time of onset to the time of termination, indicating that the seizure is a generalized one. Although the EEG is not synchronous, it is clinically useful to evaluate the frequency of these occurrences in children.

The Global Childhood Absence Epilepsy Treatment Market was valued at US$ 158.2 million in 2017 and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).

The diagnosis of CAE requires the evaluation of underlying conditions. The symptoms and prognosis of the disorder can be characterized by the presence or absence of brain lesions. Some treatment options for CAE include a combination of topiramate and lamotrigine. Besides these, a ketogenic diet is also helpful for children with this disorder.

Childhood absence epilepsy can lead to learning disabilities and cognitive impairments. However, the child may experience a normal development and learning process as long as the seizures are well-controlled. The child with CAE will usually recover from these problems by the time they reach adolescence. Childhood absence epilepsy treatment includes anticonvulsant drugs. Ethosuximide and valproic acid are the other childhood absence epilepsy treatment of choice. However, there is little research on the pharmacological-resistant forms of the disorder and the neuropsychological consequences for affected children. Childhood absence epilepsy is viewed as a serious condition, and future studies need to look at the comorbidities and potential resistance to conventional therapy.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...

Organic Milk Has Much Higher Concentration Of Iron, Vitamin E, And Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Omega-3 And Omega-6 As Compared To Regular Milk

Image
  Organic Milk Organic Milk is milk made from livestock raised using organic farming practices. The use of the term "organic" is regulated by food authorities in most jurisdictions. Organic cows are not allowed to be given hormones, which stimulate milk production. Organic feed also must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Organic cows must get a certain percentage of their diet from grazing, although most organic dairies supplement the grass with grain. However, organic grazing cows produce less milk than cows that eat a grain-based diet. Buying organic milk may be a better investment for your health. According to Coherent Market Insights the Organic Milk Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. The standards for organic milk are stringent. To meet the organic standard, a dairy farm cannot use any form of animal growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic cows must spend at least 30% of their lives on pasture. C...
