Real‐world evaluation of capillary microsampling for drug monitoring of anti‐seizure medications
Abstract Objective Capillary microsampling offers a minimally invasive alternative to venipuncture for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of anti‐seizure medications (ASMs). We evaluated the feasibility and reliability of volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) and quantitative dried blood spot (qDBS) devices for ambulatory self‐collection and at ...

Epileptic arousals: A neglected clinical entity
Abstract Objective Epileptic arousals (EAs) are seizures characterized solely by arousal from sleep. EAs are unrecognized in current seizure classifications. Their subtle semiology and inconsistently detectable ictal activity in scalp electroencephalography (EEG) complicate differentiation from physiological arousals (PAs). This study characterizes EAs

Enhancing quality of mental health service for veterans with seizures
Abstract Psychiatric disorders are commonly identified in people with seizures (PWS). Comorbid mood, anxiety, and trauma‐ and stressor‐related disorders are highly prevalent and not consistently recognized or treated promptly. Veterans with seizures are particularly vulnerable to neuropsychiatric comorbidities, including a higher prevalence of ...

Abstract Objective The polygenic risk score (PRS) for individuals with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) quantifies the common risk variants in genes identified in genome‐wide association studies. We hypothesized that the phenotype of GGE patients differs based on their GGE PRS. Methods We identified participants with highest (n = 59) versus lowest (n

Status epilepticus in adults: From etiology to treatment response
Abstract This study explored the association between etiology of status epilepticus (SE) and treatment responsiveness. Consecutive episodes of nonhypoxic SE in patients ≥14 years old were included. Etiology was classified into acute, remote, progressive, defined electroclinical syndromes, and unknown.
