Stiripentol for the treatment of super-refractory status epilepticus.
To determine whether stiripentol (STP) might be a treatment option in super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE). ⋯ Based on our presented cases and previous experimental animal data, STP may prove useful in treating super-refractory SE. Prospective trials are warranted to examine the efficacy of the STP in adults with refractory SE and to examine whether earlier treatment leads to better control of SE.

The aim of this study was to investigate the seasonal variation of the ratio of hemorrhagic stroke to ischemic stroke. The working hypothesis is that the ratio may vary among seasons. ⋯ Seasonal variations differed among stroke subtypes. The OR for CH/CeI and for SAH/CeI was lower in summer and higher in the rest of seasons independent of age, gender, and risk factors.
