Article Synopsis
- * A review of various studies found that gabapentinoids (like gabapentin and pregabalin) and tricyclic antidepressants (like amitriptyline) are effective for managing neuropathic pain by targeting neurotransmitters.
- * While selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are less effective for this type of pain, cannabinoids showed promise with mild side effects; opioids are generally a last resort due to their risks.

September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is a serious brain condition in newborns that affects how their bodies work, especially their brain and blood sugar levels.
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can make NE worse and are linked to serious problems like death and disabilities.
- Doctors use cooling treatment (therapeutic hypothermia) to help protect the brain, and new methods like checking blood sugar levels often and using glucagon (a medication) can help manage blood sugar and improve health for these babies.
