Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Genetic landscape of patients with atypical absence status epilepticus: A systematic review
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Atypical absence status epilepticus (AASE) is a rare subtype of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), characterized by clouding of consciousness and continuous or fluctuating epileptiform activity, generally at a frequency below 3 Hz. Only sparse literature exists on the genetic conditions associated with it.

Nitric Oxide–Mediated Stress Imprint in Potato as an Effect of Exposure to a Priming Agent
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2012 We investigated how potato exposed to a chemical agent could activate nitric oxide (NO)-dependent events facilitating more potent defense responses to a subsequent pathogen attack.

Stronger inflammatory/cytotoxic T cell response in women identified by microarray analysis [PDF]
, 2008 Women develop chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases like lupus more often than men. The mechanisms causing the increased susceptibility are incompletely understood, although estrogen is believed to contribute.

Potentiation of Gamma Aminobutyric Acid Receptors (GABAAR) by Ethanol: How Are Inhibitory Receptors Affected? [PDF]
, 2016 In recent years there has been an increase in the understanding of ethanol actions on the type A -aminobutyric acid chloride channel (GABAAR), a member of the pentameric ligand gated ion channels (pLGICs).

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome
Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Percolation in living neural networks [PDF]
, 2006 We study living neural networks by measuring the neurons' response to a global electrical stimulation. Neural connectivity is lowered by reducing the synaptic strength, chemically blocking neurotransmitter receptors.

Second‐trimester multimetabolite panel for early preeclampsia rule‐out
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Objective We aimed to establish a high‐sensitivity, multimetabolite rule‐out model for the development of preeclampsia (PE), prioritizing minimizing false negatives to exclude low‐risk individuals from intensive surveillance confidently. Methods In this prospective, nested case–control study, maternal serum samples were collected between 20+0 ...

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2010 The molecular mechanisms underlying the process of priming are poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the early signaling events triggered by β-aminobutyric acid (BABA), a well-known priming-mediated plant resistance inducer.
