Inflammation: A Network in the Pathogenesis of Status Epilepticus
1Department of Neurology, Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Abstract:
Status epilepticus (SE) is an abnormally prolonged or recurrent epileptic seizure that is a serious, life-threatening medical emergency. Notably, it requires prompt and aggressive treatment. SE is characterized by high mortality and morbidity. However, its pathogenesis remains unclear. Numerous studies of SE have reported widespread brain inflammation, suggesting that inflammation plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of SE. This mini review article reviews the current knowledge with regard to the role of inflammation in SE.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
