Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

open access: yesEpilepsia 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.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP): Risk management of pediatric patients with epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of death in people with epilepsy with an incidence of 1:1000. The primary risk factors for SUDEP are generalized or focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures. Preventive measures like nighttime monitoring devices and resuscitation training address modifiable risk factors.

Automated analysis of postictal generalized electroencephalogram suppression for SUDEP risk stratification

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) affects more than 3000 individuals annually, yet objective and scalable biomarkers to assess risk remain limited. Postictal generalized electroencephalogram suppression (PGES) has been proposed as a potential biomarker, but its quantification is often subjective and variable.
