Intravenous lacosamide (LCM) in status epilepticus (SE): Weight-adjusted dose and efficacy.
Some studies suggest higher efficacy of lacosamide (LCM) in status epilepticus (SE) with higher loading doses; however, this weight-adjusted dose has not been evaluated. ⋯ In adults with benzodiazepine-resistant SE, the response rate to LCM was higher, with weight-adjusted doses above 5.3 mg/kg.

Late-onset anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis in China.
This study aimed to summarize the clinical characteristics and outcome of late-onset anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis in China. ⋯ Delayed admission and diagnosis are more common in older adults than in younger adults. A comprehensive consideration of all symptoms and early screening of NMDAR Ab, especially in cerebrospinal fluid, is necessary and beneficial to differential diagnosis.
