Timing is everything: Expert opinion on researching epilepsy rhythms by the ILAE Task Force on Chronobiology

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent seizures, the hallmark of epilepsy, are influenced by rhythms operating over multiple timescales. Chronobiology is the study of biological timing that aims to explain temporal patterns of events like seizures. Fueled by recent advances in genetics, computational modeling, and device engineering, the chronobiology of epilepsy is now a

The influence of dairy consumption, sedentary behaviour and physical activity on bone mass in Flemish children : a cross-sectional study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: This cross-sectional study aimed to look for an association in young children between whole body bone mineral content (BMC) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and dairy consumption as well as sedentary behaviour (SB) and physical activity (

Detection of focal impaired awareness seizures using a biometric shirt

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In recent years, seizure detection using wearable technology has gained significant attention in research. Most studies, however, have focused on detecting generalized or focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a biometric shirt to detect focal impaired awareness seizures (FIAS) by ...

Objective outcome assessment in epilepsy surgery using ultralong‐term subcutaneous EEG: A case report

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate seizure documentation is essential in guiding treatment decisions in epilepsy but still heavily relies on highly subjective and sometimes unreliable patient reports. We report a case of medically refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy where subcutaneous EEG revealed persistence of seizures following add‐on antiseizure medication ...

Using whole body technologies to map the mobility of older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper we describe the preliminary findings of two-year study that attempted to map the mobility of our oldest citizens using activity monitoring and location-aware technologies. We recruited a group of 100 adults aged between 72 and 92 years old,

Long‐term association of physical activity with survival by primary cancer treatment in endometrial cancer: The Alberta Endometrial Cancer Cohort Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Accumulating evidence suggests a beneficial role of physical activity in cancer. However, it is unclear whether associations between physical activity and cancer outcomes vary by cancer treatment. Based on more than 16 years of follow‐up data from a cohort of endometrial cancer survivors, this study reveals that associations between ...

Factors associated with better emotional, behavioural and educational outcomes in children with mild intellectual difficulties

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Children with mild intellectual difficulties (MID) are at increased risk of poor mental health and functional outcomes compared to typically developing children. Previous research has primarily focused on deficit‐based comparisons. However, substantial heterogeneity exists in this population, ranging from significant impairment to ...
