Huntington Society of Canada, 2000 [PDF 24pp 151Kb ] Mechanisms of Drug Resistance in Epilepsy - Drug resistance in epilepsy is an important clinical problem. About 20% of patients diagnosed as having epilepsy fail to respond to prescribed antiepileptic drugs and continue to have seizures. But despite the size of the problem, remarkably little attention has been paid to the biological basis of refractory epilepsy. Recent work has shown that brain tissue from some patients with epilepsy shows increased expression of a protein that mediates drug resistance in cancer, P glycoprotein. But while resistance in cancer has been extensively studied, and trials of reversal of resistance have been undertaken with some success, resistance in epilepsy has only just begun to be addressed. This novel book brings together, for the first time, epilepsy researchers and oncologists, with a view to stimulating further work on drug resistance in epilepsy. Successfully bridging the two fields, the stimulating discussions contained in this book should be of great interest to those working on cancer resistance and refractory epilepsy alike. Multiple Sclerosis: Current Status and Strategies for the Future - The Institute of Medicine presents this book by the National Academy Press which provides a comprehensive overview of multiple sclerosis today, as researchers seek to understand its processes, develop therapies that will slow or halt the disease and perhaps repair damage, offer relief for specific symptoms, and improve the abilities of MS patients to function in their daily lives.

Thus, the material considers to what extent our knowledge of the central synaptic action of certain drugs can explain their possible roles in the cause of diseases and in the modes of action of drugs effective in those conditions. It offers a working explanation of drug and neurotransmitter action in CNS function, with a clear, comprehensive, and challenging style of writing. The authors review the chemical basis for drugs and the conditions they treat. It also, includes numerous illustrations and schematic diagrams.
