Statin use and risk of remote seizure after first new onset status epilepticus

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Preclinical evidence supports the role of statins as antiepileptogenic agents. In this study, we investigated the risk of remote unprovoked seizures (RS) according to the use of statin therapy in a cohort of first‐ever status epilepticus (SE) survivors. Methods Retrospective analysis was made of adult patients (age ≥ 14 years) with a

Detecting benzodiazepine use through induced eye convergence inability with a smartphone app: a proof-of-concept study

open access: yesFrontiers in Digital Health
BackgroundBenzodiazepines (BZDs) are readily available potent drugs that act as central depressants. These drugs are widely used, misused, and abused. For patients with BZD use disorder, the traditional sobriety monitoring method is periodic urine tests ...

Prognosis of acute symptomatic seizures and impact of prolonged treatment with anti‐seizure medication

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Acute symptomatic epileptic seizures (ASySs) occur in temporal proximity to acute brain insults. Given their low risk of subsequent unprovoked seizures, current guidelines recommend either no treatment with anti‐seizure medication (ASM) or early discontinuation, yet ASM treatment is often continued beyond hospital discharge.

Impact of sedation on the reliability of magnetoencephalographic language mapping in pediatric epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Magnetoencephalography (MEG) language mapping in pediatric epilepsy frequently requires sedation, which may alter cortical physiology and compromise the reliability of language lateralization. We hypothesized that sedation disrupts coupling between early auditory processing and higher order language networks, reducing the ...

Late electroencephalographic seizure‐risk findings and restricted diffusion on magnetic resonance imaging as seizure‐burden markers associated with neurological deficits after status epilepticus in a remote or chronic cohort

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate whether time‐dependent electroencephalographic (EEG) seizure risk findings and restricted diffusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are associated with neurological outcomes after status epilepticus (SE), beyond seizure duration. Methods This two‐center observational study included consecutive SE patients from 2017 to
