AF is usually paroxysmal and could escape detection via single lead electrocardiogram ECG recorder. Holter monitoring is useful in this scenario. The objective of this study was to assess the role of 48 hours Holter monitoring in identifying clinically inapparent AF in young patients with ischemic stroke \u0000 Methods: \u0000A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted with patient data from November 2019 to February 2021. It was conducted in Neurology department of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan. Study contained medical records of 60 patients which were admitted in this time period. Forty-eight hours Holter monitoring was carried out for all the patients. Patient medical records were examined according to predetermined risk factors and criteria. Statistical analysis was done on SPSS version 25.0. \u0000Results: \u0000Ten out of 60 cases had positive results for AF during Holter’s monitoring. Fifty cases had negative results for AF during Holter monitoring. While the p value of the data obtained remained non-significant, results depict efficacy of Holter’s monitoring in detection of AF to some extent. \u0000Conclusion: \u0000Holter monitoring can identify AF, providing aid in prevention of secondary ischemic stroke. However, instead of 48 hours monitoring, a through 72 hours or extended monitoring will increase the effectiveness of this monitoring. In future, a study could be conducted where a large number of cases should be included so that statistical significance of data could be increased.","PeriodicalId":19818,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Neurological Sciences","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86015474","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}

It is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide, affecting more than 70 million people. Currently various modes of effective treatments are available, but still there are many cases that remain drug resistant. Hence, there is a need to explore herbal medications for the treatment of drug resistant epilepsy. \u0000Methods: \u0000Recent reviews and research articles (2000-2022) from PubMed and Google Scholar have been explored. \u0000Review: \u0000Based on etiology, there are six categories of epilepsy: Genetic, structural, metabolic, immune, infectious, and unknown epilepsy. Temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampus sclerosis (TLE-HS) is one of the most common forms of structural epilepsy. Even though several new anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) have been discovered, but the treatment of some cases especially TLE-HS remains resistant to them. Surgery is one of the most effective options for TLE-HS; however, this usually results in memory deficits, and occasionally, intracranial hematoma, delayed hydrocephalus, subdural empyema, and visual field defects in patients. \u0000Conclusion: \u0000Hence, to overcome drug resistance, new pharmacological and herbal therapies are required. Animal trials are first step in the development of new drugs, to study toxicity and efficacy of proposed drugs. Many herbs have anticonvulsant activity but remain an under-explored treatment option for epilepsy. Further research on herbal extracts as a possible treatment for epilepsy needs to be conducted.","PeriodicalId":19818,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Neurological Sciences","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76398933","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}

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypodensities within hematoma after spontaneous ICH and their significance to predict poor outcome after ICH. \u0000Methods: \u0000This observational cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Neurology, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, from October 2021 to June 2022. Total 140 patients of acute stroke were included. Inclusion criteria was any patient of >20 years of age with confirmed diagnosis of ICH on imaging, non-traumatic, who presented within 24 hours after onset of symptoms. Data was analyzed by SPSS ver.23.0. \u0000Results: \u0000Total 150 patients were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 52.28 ± 1.29 years. There were 100 (71.4%) males and 40 (28.6%) females. Hypertension was the most common comorbid present in 87 patients (62.1%).55% of patients had on presentation National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale score of moderate severity. The mean ICH score on presentation was 2.64 +1.26. Hematoma expansion was present in 55(39.3%) patients while interventricular extension was seen in 100(71.4%) patients. Hypodensities were seen in 125(89.3%) patients( p value 0.001). When hematoma volume were compared in both groups it was also significant (p value 0.002). \u0000Conclusion: \u0000We conclude that hypodensities within hematoma are a reliable marker of hematoma expansion after spontaneous ICH. Such reliable marker can be easily employed in resource-poor countries where CT angiography is not available everywhere. The higher NIHSS score and low GCS are significantly associated with hypodensities within hematoma.","PeriodicalId":19818,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Neurological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81544065","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}
