New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.

Artificial intelligence in preclinical epilepsy research: Current state, potential, and challenges

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Preclinical translational epilepsy research uses animal models to better understand the mechanisms underlying epilepsy and its comorbidities, as well as to analyze and develop potential treatments that may mitigate this neurological disorder and its associated conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool across

Relationship between hTERT levels and oxidative stress in epilepsy patients

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is a key determinant of telomere maintenance and cellular aging. Oxidative stress plays a role in neurodegenerative processes by causing cellular damage through increased reactive oxygen species.

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.

Incidence and outcomes of childhood status epilepticus in Kano, northern Nigeria

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is a major neurological emergency in childhood, but population‐based data from low‐ and middle‐income countries remain limited. We estimated the incidence, mortality, neurological outcomes, and predictors of adverse outcomes among children with CSE in Kano, northern Nigeria.
