Anticonvulsant drugs may cause temporary chromosomal abnormalities.

This study suggests that 5alpha-dihydroprogesterone could be an effective, non-sedative anticonvulsant for drug-resistant complex partial seizures, as observed in a rat model.

Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

This study suggests that the anticonvulsant effects of deoxycorticosterone in young rats may be mediated by its metabolites and interactions with multiple receptors, including mineralocorticoid and progesterone receptors.

Finasteride blocks deoxycorticosterone's anticonvulsant effects in infant rats, but indomethacin doesn't.

This review provides an overview of the prevalence and management of side effects of mood-stabilizing drugs in bipolar disorder patients and reports no new clinical results.

High doses of progesterone can reduce seizures in mice.

This review of 355 articles found that apigenin, a compound found in many plants and vegetables, is mainly researched for its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer properties, with enhanced efficacy when combined with allopathic drugs.

This review discusses cutaneous adverse effects of psychotropic medications and reports no new findings, emphasizing the importance of psychiatrists being aware of these potential skin reactions.

This review, drawing on literature and personal experience, suggests that sodium valproate is a safe and effective antiepileptic drug for various epileptic conditions in children and adults, including the elderly.

In this study with a mouse model of catamenial epilepsy, ferulic acid may effectively reduce seizure susceptibility and depression-like behavior by influencing hormone levels and neurotransmitter activity.

This study found that using valproic acid during radiotherapy for glioma was associated with delayed hair loss and improved survival outcomes.

This study found that progesterone's antiseizure effects in mice occurred primarily through conversion to allopregnanolone, rather than through the progesterone receptor, as evidenced by results in PR knockout mice.

This study found that the anticonvulsant effects of progesterone against PTZ-induced seizures in mice require conversion to allopregnanolone, as shown by the reversal of these effects with a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor.

In this study, progesterone showed anticonvulsant effects in mice via a mechanism that is at least partially independent of its metabolism to THP, without significant psychotoxicity.

In this study conducted on mouse fetuses, valproic acid was found to reduce Sonic Hedgehog expression in the skin and hair follicles, but the inclusion of vitamin E helped mitigate this effect, supporting its potential role in managing valproic acid-induced changes.

This review examines alopecia as a side effect of psychotropic medications, noting that it is typically reversible after stopping the drug, but it reports no new results.

This review discusses the complex relationship between psychotropic medications and the skin, focusing on cutaneous side effects, dermatologic uses, and psychiatric disorders with skin manifestations, but reports no new findings.

This study found that humulen, a phytoconstituent of Cyperus Rotundus Linn., showed the highest binding affinity in molecular docking with the 5 α reductase enzyme, suggesting potential anti-androgenic effects for hirsutism treatment.

This study found that holding abatacept infusions for four weeks or longer before elective hip or knee arthroplasty did not reduce the risk of post-operative infections or readmissions.

This review summarizes the role of neurosteroids in seizure disorders and highlights the potential of neurosteroid replacement therapy in epilepsy but presents no new clinical findings.

Neurosteroids in the brain can increase or decrease seizure risk in mice.

This study found that enhanced neurosteroid synthesis likely mediated by the translocator protein contributed to the anticonvulsant action of midazolam in mice.

This study found that valproic acid is effective in controlling absence seizures and can improve other seizure types, but 20% of patients experience mostly transient adverse reactions.

This study reviews the current research on the metabolomic profile and antimicrobial properties of the Cannabis plant, highlighting its effective antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria while noting a lack of studies on its impact on plant and aquatic pathogens, emphasizing potential agricultural benefits.

This study found that metyrapone and etomidate provide dose-dependent anticonvulsant effects against seizures, with delayed effectiveness linked to increased neurosteroid levels.

This review discusses how neurosteroids acting on GABAA receptors may influence behavior and explores the potential for developing selective modulators for treating psychiatric disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, the authors suggest that topiramate, used for treating bipolar disorder, may cause trichomegaly, or excessive eyelash growth, in patients.

This article discusses leukocytoclastic vasculitis, particularly its triggers, manifestations, and treatments, and reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight valproic acid's association with this condition.

This review discusses the phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of Martynia annua but reports no new findings; it suggests the plant's various phytoconstituents offer scope for future research.
