The effect of 2-amino-3-carboxymuconate-6-semialdehyde decarboxylase gene overexpression in the kynurenine pathway on the expression levels of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 and interferon-γ in inflammatory conditions: an in vitro study.

Background: The kynurenine pathway (KP) can be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and excessive neurotoxic metabolite production. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of overexpression of murine 2-amino-3-carboxymuconate-6-semialdehyde decarboxylase (Acmsd) gene in inflammatory conditions in RAW 264.7 cell line to present more information about the effect of this gene on inflammatory conditions and the KP cycle.

Caffeinated drinks, fruit juices, and epilepsy: A systematic review.

The aim of this systematic review was to provide the required information regarding different aspects of the relationship between epilepsy/antiseizure medications and non-alcoholic drinks. The recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement were followed.

Smart devices/mobile phone in patients with epilepsy? A systematic review.

We systematically reviewed the existing literature on the safety of the use of smartphone, mobile phone/Internet, and Wi-Fi by people with epilepsy (PWE), according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Scopus, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar from the inception to April 9, 2021 were searched. These key words were used "epilepsy" OR "seizure" AND "Mobile Phone" OR "Cell Phone" OR "Smartphone" OR "Wi-Fi" OR "Electromagnetic" OR "Radiation.

Cosmetic adverse effects of antiseizure medications; A systematic review.

Background: We systematically reviewed the existing literature on the cosmetic adverse effects of antiseizure medications (ASMs) in order to depict a clear picture of these unwanted side effects of ASMs with a particular attention to hair loss, hirsutism, acne, and gingival hyperplasia.

Methods: This systematic review was prepared according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Scopus, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar from the inception to 25 March, 2021 were systematically searched.

Treatment of postictal headache: a systematic review and future directions.

Background: Postictal headache (PIH) is a common complaint among patients with epilepsy. The prevalence of PIH is 43%. In the current endeavor, we systematically reviewed the existing treatment options for PIH in order to depict the state of the field and also to propose a research agenda to advance this topic.

Efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing on the phantom limb pain of patients with amputations within a 24-month follow-up.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) on the phantom limb pain (PLP) of patients with amputations within a 24-month follow-up. This study was a randomized-controlled trial. A total of 60 patients with amputations were selected by a purposive sampling and patients were divided randomly into two experimental and control groups.
