Does adherence to epilepsy quality measures correlate with reduced epilepsy-related adverse hospitalizations? A retrospective experience.

abstract：:In 1990, the NIH Consensus Conference Panel on epilepsy surgery called for the development and use of reliable and valid health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) measures in epilepsy surgery studies. A HRQOL measure for epilepsy surgery patients has been developed and evaluated. The procedure, which could also be used t...

abstract：PURPOSE:The astrocytic enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS) is a key regulator of glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolism in the glutamate/glutamine cycle (GGC). Inhibition of GS results in changes of neurotransmitter release and recycling. However, little is known about the influence of GGC on neurotransmitter...
