PARTIAL SEIZURES most common seizure type occurring in approximately 80% of epileptic patients. clinical and EEG changes indicate initial activation of a system of neurons limited to part of one cerebral hemisphere that may spread to other or all brain areas. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIAL SEIZURES SIMPLE PARTIAL SEIZURES generally do not cause loss of consciousness. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: primarily motor, sensory, somatosensory, autonomic or behavioral. CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIAL SEIZURES COMPLEX PARTIAL SEIZURES accompanied by impaired consciousness; however in some cases, the impairment precedes or follows the seizure. COMPLEX PARTIAL SEIZURES MANIFESTATIONS Purposeless behavior is common. The affected person may have a glassy stare, may wander about aimlessly, and may speak unintelligibly. Psychomotor (temporal lobe) epilepsy may lead to aggressive behavior (e.g., outbursts of rage or violence). II. GENERALIZED SEIZURES diffuse, affecting both cerebral hemispheres. clinical and EEG changes indicate initial involvement of both hemispheres. GENERALIZED SEIZURES ABSENCE (Petit mal) SEIZURES present as alterations of consciousness (absences) lasting 10-30 seconds. Staring (with occasional eye blinking) and loss or reduction in postural tone is typical. Enuresis  GENERALIZED SEIZURES 2. MYOCLONIC SEIZURES (bilateral massive epileptic myoclonus) present as involuntary jerking of the facial, limb, or trunk muscles, possibly in rhythmic manner. GENERALIZED SEIZURES 3. CLONIC SEIZURES characterized by sustained muscle contractions alternating with relaxation 4. TONIC SEIZURES involve sustained tonic muscle extension (stiffening). GENERALIZED SEIZURES 5. GENERALIZED TONIC-CLONIC SEIZURES (grand mal) cause sudden loss of consciousness. GENERALIZED TONIC-CLONIC SEIZURES (grand mal) The individual becomes rigid and falls to the ground. Respirations are interrupted. The leg extended, and the back arches; contraction of the diaphragm may induce grunting. This tonic phase lasts for about 1 minute. GENERALIZED TONIC-CLONIC SEIZURES (grand mal) A clonic phase follows, marked by rapid bilateral muscle jerking, muscle flaccidity, and hyperventilation. Incontinence, tongue biting, tachycardia, and heavy salivation sometimes occur.  Some epileptics have serial grand mal seizures, regaining consciousness briefly between attacks. In some cases, grand mal seizures occur repeatedly with no recovery of consciousness between attacks (status epilepticus) GENERALIZED SEIZURES 6. ATONIC SEIZURES (drop attacks) characterized by a sudden loss of postural tone so that the individual falls to the ground. They occur primarily in children. Classification based on Etiology PRIMARY (idiopathic) SEIZURES have no identifiable cause. SECONDARY SEIZURES (symptomatic or acquired seizures) occur secondary to an identifiable cause. SECONDARY SEIZURES Infectious diseases (meningitis, influenza, toxoplasmosis, mumps, measles, syphilis) High fever (in children) Head trauma Metabolic disorders (hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia) Alcohol or drug withdrawal  ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUG CLASSIFICATIONS BARBITURATES HYDANTOINS SUCCIMIDES Phenobarbital Phenytoin Ethosuximide Primidone Mephenytoin Methsuximide Mephobarbital Ethotoin Phensuximide Fosphenytoin Zonisamide OXAZOLIDINEDIONES BENZODIAZEPINE MISCELLANEOUS Paramethadione Clonazepam Lamotrigine Trimethadione Diazepam Felbamate Gabapentin TYPE DRUG OF CHOICE Carbamazepine Absence ETHOSUXIMIDE Valproic acid Phenacemide Absence W/ Grand VALPROIC ACID Topiramate Mal Tiagabine Grand Mal PHENYTOIN/CARBAMAZEPINE Levetiracetam Myoclonic Seizure VALPROIC ACID Febrile Seizure PHENOBARBITAL Status Epilepticus LORAZEPAM (current); DIAZEPAM (old)  PHARMACOLOGY REVIEW Starting in House Rules: 1.

The agent of choice in the management of chronic, persistent anxiety. It is not cross-tolerant with BZs and will not treat or prevent symptoms of BZ withdrawal. BZ dose should be tapered before switching to buspirone. It is an appropriate choice for anxious patients with a history of alcohol or drug abuse. Ramelteon (Rozerem™) Melatonin Receptor Agonist MOA: Activates MT1 and MT2 receptors in suprachiasmatic nuclei in the CNS Rapid onset of effect with minimal rebound insomnia  ADRENERGIC BLOCKING AGENTS Propranolol and other beta-blockers may be useful in patients with prominent cardiovascular symptoms of anxiety. They are less effective anxiolytics than BZs, and their usefulness may be restricted to those anxiety patients with physical symptoms, especially cardiovascular complaints, have not adequately responded to BZ therapy. ADRENERGIC BLOCKING AGENTS Propranolol,10 mg bid should be used initially and gradually titrated to anxiolytic response. Discontinuation should be gradual to avoid rebound anxiety and cardiovascular effects. Old Sedative- Hypnotics CHLORAL HYDRATE Associated to MICKEY FINN Trichloroethanol – active metabolite Trichloroacetic acid – toxic metabolite Accumulate with the nightly administration of the drug 1.

Problem is *ischemia – inadequate amount of oxygenated blood increase oxygen demand decrease oxygen supply (It affects the blood vessel) Two parts affected by ischemia Myocardial ischemia – inadequate supply of oxygenated blood in the heart. Cerebral ischemia – inadequate supply of oxygenated blood in the brain. most fatal because it can result to stroke → paralysis which can result to comatose 3 TYPES OF ANGINA Stable Angina - aka effort angina, classic angina - most common type of angina - commonly present to smoker and hypertensive patient - main cause is atherosclerosis - chest pain is predictable or expected, when there is physical exertion or activity. Unstable Angina - aka angina at rest/crescendo angina - chest pain is unexpected, experienced during at rest - common at night - main causes are atherosclerosis and thrombosis Prinzmetal’s Angina - vasospastic or variant angina - severe form of angina - chest pain occurs at night up to early morning , takes place during at rest and during physical exertion ANTIANGINAL DRUGS Organic nitrates Calcium Channel blockers Beta blockers Ivabradine & Nicorandil hypertensive patients - monotherapy with slow release or long acting CCB or Refractory cases- CCBs Beta blockers - refractory to organic nitrates normotensive patients - with angina & normal BP Acute treatment of Vasospastic - DOC: Nitroglycerin angina - alternative: Propranolol with nifedipine DOC: verapamil/diltiazem Unstable Angina Pectoris *aspirin – inhibits thromboxane formation *cilostazol – antiplatelet with vasodilating effect, inhibit PDE3 *clopidogrel – inhibit adenosine diphosphate pathway Sildenafil - vasodilator which is used to manage erectile dysfunction - also used to manage angina pectoris → MOA: phosphodiesterase isoform-5 inhibitor (PDE5), as an inhibitor it increases CGMP which result to vasodilation men – sildenafil increases the blood flow in corpus cavernosa → erection  Arrhythmia →Defined as the abnormal firing rate, regularity or site of origin of cardiac impulse, involve irregular and abnormal heart rhythm. Normal heart rhythm: 60-90 beats per minute * heart rhythm is regulated by the SA Node (phase maker of heart) ANTIARRHYTHMIC DRUGS Type I – NA Type II – Beta Type III – K Type IV – Ca IA – Quinidine, -”OLOL” except Bretylium Verapamil Procainamide, Sotalol Amiodarone Diltiazem Dysopiramide Dronaderone CI: Nifedipine IB – Lidocaine, Sotalol Mexiletine, Phenytoin IC – Moricizine, Flecainide, Propafenone Heart Failure HEART FAILURE - medical condition characterized by impairment of left ventricle - there is no ability to pump sufficient oxygenated blood - inadequate supply of oxygenated blood coming from ventricle → can result to hospitalization Symptoms of heart failure based on exertion Class1 - asymptomatic - no limitation on physical activity Class 2 - mild to moderate moderation on - physical activity - can be relieved during at rest Class 3 - marked limitation on physical activity - can happen even during at rest Class 4 - any physical activity can trigger heart failure symptoms 2 Forms of heart failure 1. Low output most common → no metabolic demand/requirement, but the heart cannot compensate with the requirements for oxygenated blood 2. High output characterized by metabolic disorder Ex. Hyperthyroidism - increases demand for oxygenated blood because patient suffers from palpitation or tachycardia. Anemia - hematopoietic disorder characterized by low levels of haemoglobin (oxygenated blood) 1. Inotropic agent (increases the force of contraction) * cardiac glycoside - digitalis - Most important ion affected by digitalis is K channel, therefore it can cause hypokalemia - Alternative for hypokalemia is KCl or MgSO4 Deslanoside - alternative for rapid digitalization 2. Diuretics -to reduce fluid overload in patient suffering from fluid retention *Thiazide / loop diuretics - commonly used - same cardiac effect with cardiac glycosides (hypokalemia- can cause digitalis toxicity, must be given separately with cardiac glycosides) 3. Vasodilator - main goal is to reduce pulmonary congestion Use: left sided heart failure - it can increase cardiac output Ex. Organic nitrates, sodium nitroprusside Ex. Minoxidil, hydralazine, prazosin Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor - first line agent for heart failure - beneficial to prevent cardiac hypertrophy Captopril - most widely used Ramipril, quinapril can also be used except enalapril Enalapril - only use for hypertensive emergency Prob with vasodilator such as ACEI can promote fluid retention therefore must be given with beta blocker or diuretics Beta blockers - prophylaxis for px with chronic heart failure Carvedilol - first beta blocker approved for heart failure - mixed acting alpha and beta blocker Cardioselective : bisoprolol and metoprolol Other inotropic agents Inamrinone - also known in the market as amrinone toxic effect : hepatotoxic & aplastic anemia can cause bone marrow suppression and liver damage Milrinone - associated with thrombocytopenia can cause hemorrhage or bleeding Agents used in dyslipidemia abnormalities of lipoproteins ( important carrier transporter of lipids/fats in the body) problem is either a decrease or increase level of lipoproteins LDL / bad cholesterol- lipoproteins that increase HDL/good cholesterol - lipoproteins that decrease HMG-COa reductase inhibitor 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzymeA enzyme necessary for formation of mevalonic acid Main goal: prevent the synthesis of the immediate metabolic precursor of cholesterol (No mevalonic acid no cholesterol) ends with statin most effective drug in reducing LDL secretion Drugs Atorvastatin Fluorinated congeners -prototype drug Fluvastatin Lactone prodrug - Lovastatin - Simvastatin Rosuvastatin Indication: most Active lactone ring effective drug in severe - Pravastatin hypercholesterolemia Common schedule of administration: given at night (because at night synthesis of cholesterol is higher) Except atorvastatin & rosuvastatin (can be given either in the morning or at night ) ADR increase hepatic enzyme (serum aminotrasferases) → hepatotoxicity Increase creatinine kinase (for muscle metabolism) → rhabdomyolysis Cardiomyopathy Bile acid binding resin Bile acid - byproduct of cholesterol synthesis - important in the absorption of fats - (function: emulsifying agent) Common bile acid binding resin - cholestyramine, cholestipol * bile acid is synthesized in the liver and stores in the gall bladder Niacin - vit B3 - water soluble vitamin - effective in reducing LDL &VLDL secretion in endothelial cells - associated with vasodilating effect Adr : warm sensation or flushing Remedy to reduce flushing it must be taken with aspirin  THYROID AND ANTITHYROID DRUGS HYPOTHYROIDISM HYPERTHYROIDISM Myexedema Cretenism Thyrotoxicosis Hashimoto’s disorder Grave’s disease Endemic goiter Exopthalmos Sporadic goiter Drugs: Drugs: 1.
