So, Joe, would you tell me how your life has changed since going on the, or being part of the

obviously clinical podcast and actually being mentioned on the Simon Mayo and Mark Commode film

review show? Yeah, well, other than being hustled everywhere I go on the streets, it's not changed

too much. Fair enough, fair enough. It was a nice nice comment. I think I've had even

show Brian what that was and obviously what it means, but maybe a what's up to all those people

who actually listen to both shows. That's probably pretty good. I think there's two of them

that I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe even three. Yeah, yeah. Beautiful. Anyway, gaudet.

Dominic Barfield here, and this is the RVC Clinical Podcast. Thank you for listening and please Yeah, maybe even through. Yeah, yeah. Beautiful. Anyway, good-day.

Dominic Barfield here, and this is the RVC Clinical Podcast.

Thank you for listening, and please don't get to hit that subscribe button on your generic fruit-based device.

And we would be really grateful if you could actually go to the Apple Podcast Store and give us a ratings on iTunes the Apple Podcasts or that would be great.

A five-star review would be the best that you can.

Obviously that would be really good for all the metrics that we need that none of us in the room sort of understand how they work.

But at least there's analytics and people that deal with that actually make this program be able to be listened by the people that actually want to listen to it

so if you could go to the apple podcast door and give us a review that would be great so today in

that little intro we were going to speak again to dr joe ven so So Joe is one of our lectures here in neurology and

neurosurgery. And we thought we'd talk today about lever terastum. So hello, Joe. Hello.

And we should say hello to Jason Isaacs. Yes, we should. So with the lever terracetam,

I'm sure it's been, it's been around for a while, hasn't it? Probably eight, years and in the veterinary field would that be roughly right yeah maybe a little bit longer in the human field but not too much okay and and so I suppose to people that maybe have never heard of it before so I suppose what we basically start with what what is it yeah so um levitratrat acetam is quite useful and interesting anti-convulsant medication basically.

As you say, it's been around for a bit of time now, but still relatively new by the standards of anti-convulsants that we use.

Was a first approved around year 2000 for using human medicine for treating focal onset seizures.

And it's quite an interesting anti-convulsant for us because it has quite a novel mechanism of action.
