There is limited data about its efficacy and tolerability at the present time. We retrospectively analyzed data from 25 epilepsy patients who received Keppra XR ranging from 500 3000 mg per day as standard once a day dosing. The mean age was 33.8 years. 19 (76%) patients have partial and 6 (24%) have generalized epilepsy. In 17 (68%) patients, Keppra XR was used as monotherapy and in 8 (40 %) as adjunctive therapy. A favorable response to Keppra XR was seen in 21 (84%) patients in terms of efficacy. No major side-effects were reported. However, Keppra XR was tapered off in 4 subjects secondary to dizziness, somnolence and lack of efficacy. From our limited retrospective analysis, Keppra XR was also found to be effective as a monotherapy.","PeriodicalId":232166,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Neurology","volume":"311 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124421884","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}

We in our study have analyzed clinical and radiological characteristics of movement disorders occurring in association with diabetes. Methods: Patients admitted with movement disorders were screened for the presence of Diabetes. Patients with history of diabetes or new onset diabetes were analyzed for their clinical presentation and radiological characteristics, and the recovery of movement disorders with treatment of diabetes. Results: A total of eleven patients who presented with involuntary movements were found to have diabetes. Of these, five patients presented with hemiballismushemichorea, three with hemichorea, and two patients with choreoathetosis and one with generalized chorea-ballismus. The age of the patients ranged between 45–73 years. In three patients, it was the presenting symptom of diabetes without any previous history of diabetes. The glycemic status as assessed by HbA1C was very poor, with values more than 10 % in all the 11 patients. In nine patients, the Brain CT showed hyperdensity in the region of putamen. In all the patients, the involuntary movements resolved completely or decreased with treatment of diabetes. Conclusion: Movement disorders are associated with diabetes. The early recognisation of the clinical and radiological features of these movement disorders is necessary, as prompt control of the glycemic status will result in rapid recovery of these involuntary movements and will have good prognosis.","PeriodicalId":232166,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Neurology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121695155","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 diagnosis of herpes zoster is primarily based upon history and clinical examination. The painful periods can induce misdiagnosis with dental signs like trigeminal neuralgia, odontalgia and acute pulpitis and the complications referred in the literature like tooth resorption, periapical lesions, periodontal destruction, osteomyelitis, jaw osteonecrosis and tooth exfoliation promote the dentist's role in diagnosis and management of this disease.
