pilocarpine has been researched along with Seizures, Febrile in 4 studies
Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.
Seizures, Febrile: Seizures that occur during a febrile episode. It is a common condition, affecting 2-5% of children aged 3 months to five years. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has been identified in some families. The majority are simple febrile seizures (generally defined as generalized onset, single seizures with a duration of less than 30 minutes). Complex febrile seizures are characterized by focal onset, duration greater than 30 minutes, and/or more than one seizure in a 24 hour period. The likelihood of developing epilepsy (i.e., a nonfebrile seizure disorder) following simple febrile seizures is low. Complex febrile seizures are associated with a moderately increased incidence of epilepsy. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p784)

| "The aim of the study was to determine whether (1) number of febrile convulsions is a predictor of development of temporal lobe epilepsy, (2) the susceptibility of rats to pilocarpine-induced seizures is increased due to febrile convulsions and (3) nitric oxide is a mediator in the pathogenesis of febrile convulsions." | 7.71 | Do recurrent febrile convulsions decrease the threshold for pilocarpine-induced seizures? Effects of nitric oxide. ( Gulec, G; Noyan, B, 2001) |
| " In adult rats, the only effective dose and agent was 125 ng V2 receptor antagonist, which prevented pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus, extended the status epilepticus latency and improved the 24 h survival rate." | 3.71 | Arginine vasopressin in the pathogenesis of febrile convulsion and temporal lobe epilepsy.
