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

Epilepsia 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.

Aetiology of sudden cardiac death in sport: a histopathologist's perspective. [PDF]

, 2012
In the UK, when a young person dies suddenly, the coroner is responsible for establishing the cause of death. They will ask a consultant pathologist to carry out an autopsy in order to ascertain when, where and how that person died.

Nanoscale-targeted patch-clamp recordings of functional presynaptic ion channels [PDF]

, 2013
Important modulatory roles have been attributed to presynaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) located on cerebellar interneuron terminals. Evidence supporting a presynaptic location includes an increase in the frequency of mini events following the application ...

Efficacy of Retigabine in Treating Weakness in a Mouse Model of Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoKPP) is an ion channelopathy causing episodic skeletal muscle weakness triggered by hypokalemia. Reduced inward rectifier K+ (Kir) channel activity contributes to membrane depolarization and paralysis, suggesting that pharmacologic activation of muscle K+ channels may restore excitability ...

Efficacy of a K+ Channel Agonist, XEN1101, For Preserving Contractility in Mouse Models of Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
Pretreatment with an agonist of Kv7 potassium channels (XEN1101) protects the soleus muscle from a loss of force during a 2 mM K+ challenge, in a mouse model of hypokalemic periodic paralysis. ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Effective management remains lacking for recurrent episodes of acute weakness in hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP).

Molecular and clinical determinants of drug-induced long QT syndrome: an iatrogenic channelopathy. [PDF]

, 2004
More than 70 drugs present on the Swiss market can cause drug-induced long QT syndrome (LQTS), which is associated with torsades de pointes (TdP) arrhythmias, potentially leading to sudden cardiac death. Basic and clinical investigations performed during
