Diazepam, first marketed as Valium, is a medicine of the benzodiazepine family that acts as an anxiolytic. It is commonly used to treat a range of conditions, including anxiety, seizures, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, muscle spasms, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome. It may also be used to cause memory loss during certain medical procedures. It can be taken by mouth, inserted into the rectum, injected into muscle, injected into a vein or used as a nasal spray. When given into a vein, effects begin in one to five minutes and last up to an hour. By mouth, effects begin after 15 to 60 minutes.Common side effects include sleepiness and trouble with coordination. Serious side effects are rare. They include increased risk of suicide, decreased breathing, and an increased risk of seizures if used too frequently in those with epilepsy. Occasionally, excitement or agitation may occur. Long-term use can result in tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms on dose reduction. Abrupt stopping after long-term use can be potentially dangerous. After stopping, cognitive problems may persist for six months or longer. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Its mechanism of action works by increasing the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).Diazepam was patented in 1959 by Hoffmann-La Roche. It has been one of the most frequently prescribed medications in the world since its launch in 1963. In the United States it was the best-selling medication between 1968 and 1982, selling more than 2 billion tablets in 1978 alone.
Next, eggs hatch in the intestine of the definitive host and circulate in the bloodstream until they reach suitable organs. Symptoms and diagnosis
The symptoms for coenurosis vary depending on where the cyst is located. Prevention and treatment
In sheep, the usual treatment is surgical trepanation to remove the brain cyst, one of the few economically viable surgeries in farm animals. The site of the cyst can usually be estimated based on the neurological symptoms and skull thinning. Treated sheep typically regain sufficient function to rejoin the flock and necropsy indicates that the site of the cyst collapses and scars, relieving pressure on the brain.In the rare cases where a human is infected, both surgical and pharmaceutical treatments are available. Since the disease is so uncommon in humans, no vaccine has been developed for it. Epidemiology
T. multiceps is commonly found in France, England, Brazil, Africa, and the United States. T. serialis is found in Canada and the United States
T. brauni is found in North America, Rwanda, and the Republic of Congo
T. glomerata is found in Nigeria and the Republic of Congo

Hosts
The definitive hosts for coenurosis are dogs, foxes, and other canids. The intermediate hosts for coenurosis can vary depending on the Taenia spp. In T. multiceps, sheep are the intermediate hosts, but goats, cattle, horses, and antelopes are also common hosts. T. multiceps can affect any tissue, but it normally targets the brain in animal hosts. In T. serialis, rabbits and rodents are the intermediate hosts. T. serialis commonly targets subcutaneous and intramuscular tissue.
