According to the World Health Organization, approximately 50 million people have epilepsy globally. It is one of the most common neurological diseases. As per data suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States, 3 million people suffer from epilepsy. There has been a significant emphasis on developing effective seizure therapeutic products for neurological disorders as major companies and institutions are working towards innovative treatments for seizures.

This dataset contains the all-India, year and drug law enforcement agency (DLEAs) wise number of drug seizures made. It includes drug seizures by various DLEAs such as Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Custom and Centre Excise, Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN), State Police, State Excise and Other agencies.

The number of drug cases and individuals apprehended by the Taichung City Government Police Department each month.

Data on drug seizures relate to all seizures made in each country during the year by all law enforcement agencies (police, customs, national guard, etc.). Caution is required in relation to double-counting that might occur within a country — although it is usually avoided — between various law enforcement agencies.

There are almost 100 statistical tables in this dataset. Each data table may be viewed as an HTML table or downloaded in spreadsheet (Excel format).

This data includes the number of seizures made, by drug type, for all drugs controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and the volume of seizures made on the main drug types. The data is broken down to show each UK nation, for example, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Home Office publication presents figures for drug seizures made in 2011-12 in England and Wales by police and the former UK Border Agency. From 1 March 2012, Border Force separated from the former UK Border Agency and became an operational command within the Home Office taking responsibility (amongst other things) for drug detection at the border. For 2011-12 onwards, the UK Border Agency/Border Force figures include those seizures made by our fleet of seagoing patrol vessels which operate around the UK coastline. The location of the seizures made by the patrol vessels are reported in line with where the seizures are landed. This data set has been consolidated into that on 'Border Force transparency data' from 2015.

The Police Force Area of Cleveland had ***** drug seizures per million inhabitants in 2023/24, the highest of any police force area in England and Wales, followed by Norfolk at *****, and Merseyside at *****.

Introduction

Global Epilepsy Drug Market size is expected to be worth around USD 27.6 Billion by 2033 from USD 17.8 Billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2033.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by frequent, unpredictable seizures due to sudden surges of electrical activity in the brain. These episodes temporarily disrupt normal brain functions and manifest in various symptoms such as convulsions, muscle spasms, loss of consciousness, and involuntary movements. Individuals may experience a range of post-seizure effects, including confusion, memory problems, and speech difficulties. Certain seizures may also involve brief disconnections from the environment or pre-seizure sensations like fear or deja vu.

The treatment of epilepsy focuses on decreasing the frequency and intensity of seizures to improve quality of life. This is critical not only for enhancing daily function but also for ensuring safety, as uncontrolled seizures can lead to accidents, particularly in situations such as driving or swimming.

The prevalence of neurological disorders, including epilepsy, poses a significant challenge for healthcare providers, pushing them to optimize treatment protocols. Epilepsy affects individuals of all ages, contributing to its status as a critical area of concern within the neurological market. The aging population is particularly susceptible to neurological issues, which amplifies market opportunities for advancements in treatment and care. This cross-generational vulnerability opens up new pathways for innovation and market expansion in neurological healthcare solutions.

According to World Health Organisation a significant majority of those affected, nearly 80%, reside in low- and middle-income countries. Despite the availability of effective treatments, it is estimated that up to 70% of those diagnosed with epilepsy could achieve seizure freedom with the proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. However, the risk of premature death for people with epilepsy is up to three times higher than that of the general population.

Access to necessary treatment remains a critical issue, as about 75% of people with epilepsy in low-income countries do not receive the care they need. Moreover, the stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with epilepsy and their families are widespread, exacerbating the challenges associated with this condition in many regions of the world.

Presents figures for drug seizures made by law enforcement agencies in England and Wales. The statistics relate to all drugs controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (MDA), which divides drugs into three categories (classes A, B and C) according to their harmfulness, with class A drugs considered to be the most harmful.

In this study, researchers used capture-recapture sampling and multiple data sources to gauge the impact of drug trafficking in Quebec, Canada on the United States drug market. The main analyses were based on arrest data that were obtained for Quebec. In addition, analysis of the chemical composition and price assessments of the Quebec synthetic drugs was done. The study includes one SPSS data file (Quebec Arrest Data (Synthetic Drugs Cases, September 2014; n=20261)-ICPSR.sav ; n=20,261 ; 13 variables) and one Excel data file (Chemical composition of seized synthetic drugs.xls ; n=365 ; 14 variables). Spatial analyses of border seizure data was performed by the researchers, but these data are not available at this time. The data used for these analyses concerned synthetic drug seizures at Canadian borders from 2007 to 2012. The dataset was provided by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). For each seizure, the specific border crossing where the seizure was made was provided, as well as the value of the seizure (except for precursors), the country of origin and the type of drug seized. The types of drugs were classified into five types: (1) Precursors, (2) MDMA, (3) Amphetamine, (4) Methamphetamine and (5) Others. Most of the seizures (86.6 percent) were classified in this last category. The country of origin of the seizure was also provided.
