Fibromyalgia is a rare disease, difficult to diagnose and to treat. We think that hyperbaric oxygen therapy could improve its signs and symptoms although more evidences have to be accumulated.

Objective: Nearly half of people with epilepsy (PWE) are expected to develop seizure clusters (SC), with the subsequent risk of hospitalization. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use, effectiveness and safety of intravenous (IV) brivaracetam (BRV) in the treatment of SC.

Methods: Retrospective multicentric study of patients with SC (≥ 2 seizures/24 h) who received IV BRV.

With the continued unfolding of major climatic shifts, questions continue to emerge about how to approach climate change in the science classroom, at least in the USA where it is often perceived as socio-politically controversial. Broadly, research in science education has shown that the learning process around climate change is highly complex and variable, and our understanding of it remains emergent. This study argues that when designing learning experiences for issues like climate change, we must consider students' prior knowledge of the social world.

Amid a broader sociopolitical milieu of division, disagreement, and uncivil debate, this study investigates instances of disagreement among students in a high school science classroom as they attempt to answer the civic question of about climate change, a long contentious topic in the USA. Using a theoretical framework that frames relational practices and ideological positions as discursive resources, this study analyzes the resources youth bring to bear within disagreement. Through discourse analysis and qualitative coding of naturalistic moments of disagreement, this study shows that youth leverage diverse constellations of discursive resources when disagreeing over science-civic matters.

Article Synopsis
  • * MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and the chaperone system (CS) are being studied as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets due to their roles in seizure regulation and neuronal survival.
  • * The findings in this review aim to identify specific molecular targets related to miRNAs and CS components, which could enhance understanding of epilepsy mechanisms and lead to better seizure prediction and treatment strategies.
