Status epilepticus in the elderly —A retrospective study on 120 patients
Status epilepticus (SE) can be regarded as the most severe form of seizure and is often the expression of an acute and life-threatening brain disorder with mortality rates up to 22% (De Lorenzo et al., 1996; Logroscino et al., 2005, 1997; Shorvon, 1994a). SE shows a bimodal distribution with the highest icidence in children (Source: Epilepsy Research)

Effect of diclofenac sodium on seizures and inflammatory profile induced by kindling seizure model
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by spontaneous and recurrent seizure episodes (Fisher et al., 2005) that affects between 1 –2% of the world population. So far, there is no cure and the treatments with anticonvulsants are not totally efficacious for the different types of epilepsy (López-Hernández et al., 2005). The side effects of tolerance, dependence, risk of death, physical injury (due to the episodes), cerebral damage and induction of psychotic reactions become a problem for clinical treatment.

Tolerability, safety, and efficacy of adjunctive brivaracetam for focal seizures in older patients: A pooled analysis from three phase III studies
Epilepsy is common in older adults; causes of new-onset epilepsy at older ages include cerebrovascular disease, dementia, Alzheimer ’s, brain tumor, primary neurodegenerative disorders, and traumatic head injury (Brodie et al., 2009; Pugh et al., 2009). The incidence of treated epilepsy has been estimated at 80.8 per 100,000 in the general population, rising to 85.9 per 100,000 in those aged 65–69 years, and 135.4 per 100,00 0 in people ≥85 years (Wallace et al., 1998). In addition to older patients with new-onset epilepsy, the population of older adults with epilepsy also includes those who have been treated for man...
