Introduction: Hereditary bleeding disorders stem from the absence or insufficient levels of particular clotting proteins, essential for facilitating coagulation in the clotting cascade. Among the most prevalent are hemophilia A (deficiency of Factor VIII), hemophilia B (deficiency of Factor IX), and von Willebrand disease. Management of pharmacoresistant epilepsy is more difficult in a patient with bleeding disorder due to increased risk of bleeding during surgery.

Purpose: Analysis of autofluorescence holds promise for brain tumor delineation and diagnosis. Therefore, we investigated the potential of a commercial confocal laser scanning endomicroscopy (CLE) system for clinical imaging of brain tumors.
Methods: A clinical CLE system with fiber probe and 488 nm laser excitation was used to acquire images of tissue autofluorescence.

Epilepsy affects more than 70 million individuals of all ages worldwide and remains one of the most severe chronic noncommunicable neurological diseases globally. Several neurotransmitters, membrane protein channels, receptors, enzymes, and, more recently noted, various pathways, such as inflammatory and mTORC complexes, play significant roles in the initiation and propagation of seizures. Over the past two decades, significant developments have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy.

Epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS) is a rare, serious, and pharmacoresistant epileptic disorder often linked to gain-of-function mutations in the gene. encodes the sodium-activated potassium channel known as SLACK, making small molecule inhibitors of SLACK channels a compelling approach to the treatment of EIMFS and other epilepsies associated with mutations. In this manuscript, we describe a hit optimization effort executed within a series of 2-aryloxy--(pyrimidin-5-yl)acetamides that were identified via a high-throughput screen.

The ketogenic diet (KD) has long been used as an alternative nonpharmacological therapy to manage pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The anticonvulsant mechanisms of KD have yet to be fully elucidated. The present study explored whether a KD could exert antioxidative effects by altering brain Klotho (Kl) gene expression.
