This article briefly summarizes the ancient history of neuroscience. Trepanation, performed since the Neolithic period, may have been intended to create an escape route for demons inflicting problems on humans , or as a surgical procedure to drain excess intracranial fluid in patients affected by trauma and epilepsy. The Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus , found in Egypt, is believed to be related to Imhotep, the most preemi-nent healer in Egypt. It presents 48 cases of head injuries and describes the symptoms and signs of the patients in relation with the foci of brain injuries. Hippocrates, known as the “father of medicine,” represented the golden age of Greece, which witnessed an outpouring of many new thoughts and ideas. As focus shifted from God to humans, many philosophical approaches incorporated medicine. Hip-pocrates emphasized that diseases develop by natural causes, not God’s will. The Hippocratic Corpus encompasses 70 medical texts presumed to originate with Hippocrates and his followers. It also presents 42 real clinical cases. Systematic human dissections were started by Herophilus, the “father of anatomy,” who dissected hundreds of cadavers and live criminals. Herophilus, working with Erasistra-tus, also described the cerebrum, cerebellum, and ventricles of the brain. They distinguished between motor and sensory nerves. However, many still believed that human intelligence lay in the heart, and the controversy about the location of the human mind continued for many centuries.","PeriodicalId":132321,"journal":{"name":"Epilia: Epilepsy and Community","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129225015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Staged Treatment of Status Epilepticus","authors":"Jae-Moon Kim, Soo-Kyoung Kim","doi":"10.35615/epilia.2019.00017","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35615/epilia.2019.00017","url":null,"abstract":"Status epilepticus (SE), an increasingly recognized neurological issue in the clinical setting, is the second-most frequent life-threatening neurological emergency following stroke. SE has a high mortality rate that is largely contingent on the duration of SE before initial treatment, the etiology of SE, and the patient’s age. SE can be divided into four stages: (1) impending SE, (2) established SE, (3) refractory SE, and (4) super-refractory SE. Different therapeutic strategies are applied in each stage. This review provides up-to-date information on the pharmacotherapy of SE. The treatment of SE is evolving as new medications have become available. Three new preparations—fosphenytoin, rectal diazepam, and parenteral valproate—have implications for the management of SE. However, randomized controlled trials have shown that benzodiazepines should be the initial pharmacological therapy in patients with SE, and despite the paucity of clinical trials comparing medication regimens for acute seizures, there is a broad consensus that immediate diagnosis and treatment are necessary to reduce the morbidity and mortality of this condition. Recent data suggest that midazolam and propofol may substitute for phenobarbital or other long-acting barbiturates to reduce the duration of sedation. Nonconvulsive SE is diagnosed with increasing frequency, as electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring is performed more often in various clinical situations. In patients with persistent alteration of consciousness with no clear etiology, physicians should obtain an EEG rapidly to identify potential SE. Physicians should rely on a standardized protocol for the management of SE to improve the care for this neurological emergency.","PeriodicalId":132321,"journal":{"name":"Epilia: Epilepsy and Community","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124136590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
