The emerging role of 12/15-lipoxygenase in ischemic stroke by Xuening Wang, Qiuji Shao, Yuan Gao

“…The arachidonic acid metabolic pathway is a classic inflammatory pathway. 12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX), a member of the lipoxygenase family that metabolizes arachidonic acid, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Ischemic stroke is a devastating disease in which the occlusion of cerebral arteries leads to a series of pathophysiological changes in brain tissue, triggering an inflammatory cascade within the brain that results in neuroinflammation. …”

Early Polytherapy for Probably Benzodiazepine Refractory Naïve Status Epilepticus (Stage 1 Plus) by Giuseppe Magro

“…These cases include not only prolonged SE as previously proposed by the author (SE lasting > 10 min) but also other cases notoriously associated with BDZ refractoriness such as the absence of prominent motor phenomena and acute etiology (especially primary central nervous system etiology). Interestingly, the absence of prominent motor phenomena as is the case of non convulsive SE might implicitly fall in the category of prolonged SE due to the delay in recognition and treatment. …”
