Article Abstract
In children and adolescents with epilepsy, neurodevelopmental comorbidities can impair the quality of life more than seizures. The aim of this review was to evaluate the cognitive and behavioural effects of perampanel (PER) in the paediatric population. We performed a systematic search of the literature, selecting studies published in English including children and adolescents with epilepsy treated with PER. Cognitive and behavioural outcomes were assessed through validated neuropsychological standardised scales. Eighteen studies involving 3563 paediatric patients were included. Perampanel did not impair general cognitive functions and visuospatial skills, whereas a slight improvement in verbal memory and a decline in attentional power were detected. In adolescents with refractory epilepsies, high doses and/or rapid titration of PER and an underlying psychiatric disorder were risk factors for developing or worsening psychiatric outcomes such as anger, aggressiveness, and irritability. Data on children and adolescents treated with new antiseizure medications are scant, and neuropsychiatric effects are tricky to be detected during developmental age. According to the currently available evidence, PER showed an overall favourable risk-benefit profile. Pharmacodynamics, co-administration of other antiseizure medications, and family and personal history of neuropsychiatric disorders should be considered before PER treatment.

Prodromal Lewy Body Symptoms and α-Synuclein Seeding in Idiopathic Olfactory Dysfunction.

Background: Early identification of pathological α-synuclein deposition (αSynD) may improve understanding of Lewy body disorder (LBD) progression and enable timely disease-modifying treatments.
Objectives: We investigated αSynD using a seed amplification assay and assessed prodromal LBD symptoms in individuals with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction (iOD).
Methods: In this cross-sectional, case-control study, we included iOD participants and normosmic healthy controls (HC) aged 55 to 75 years without diagnoses of dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease (PD), or other major neurological disorders.

Objectives: End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major disease that seriously threatens the health of young people, and kidney transplantation is an effective treatment method to improve its prognosis.Young ESRD patients at a critical stage of life development often face significant physical and psychological challenges while waiting for kidney transplantation. Their psychological state directly affects treatment compliance and transplantation outcomes.

Background: Despite the well-known effects of elevated bilirubin in neonates, its neurotoxic potential in adults remains uncertain. In perioperative and hepatic disease contexts, transient bilirubin elevations are common; however, their direct contribution to cognitive dysfunction has not been clearly established. This study aimed to determine whether transient bilirubin elevation alone can impair cognition and disrupt blood-brain barrier (BBB) function in adult zebrafish, and to compare these effects with those of liver injury.

Elucidating the earliest biological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) is critical for advancing early detection strategies. While amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathologies have been central to preclinical AD research, the roles of peripheral biological processes in disease initiation remain underexplored. We investigated patterns of F-MK6240 tau positron emission tomography (PET) and peripheral inflammation across stages defined by Aβ burden and neuronal injury in n = 132 (64.
