Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Neonatal seizures: Advances in diagnosis and management

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) created the ILAE Neonatal Task Force that classified neonatal seizures, defined neonatal epilepsy syndromes, and specified treatment guidelines. These frameworks, in addition to improved access to genetic testing and other recent advances, have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of ...

Detection of focal impaired awareness seizures using a biometric shirt

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In recent years, seizure detection using wearable technology has gained significant attention in research. Most studies, however, have focused on detecting generalized or focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a biometric shirt to detect focal impaired awareness seizures (FIAS) by ...

Epileptic drop attacks: More than just atonic seizures

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract “Drop attacks” are not officially defined by the International League Against Epilepsy. Seizures are characterized by a sudden loss of control over the trunk and posture, leading to falls and injuries, and resolving within a few seconds. Accurately diagnosing the type of seizure is usually difficult due to limitations in clinical documentation

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.

Rest‐activity patterns across development in two mouse models of autism and epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sleep disturbances are common in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and epilepsy and are increasingly recognized as comorbidities that affect disease severity and quality of life. This study investigated rest‐activity patterns across development in two genetic mouse models relevant to ASD and epilepsy: synapsin 2 (Syn2 ...

Optimizing polytherapy management for Dravet syndrome in the United States: A National Expert Consensus

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe, drug‐resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) that requires polytherapy for adequate seizure control. The need to combine multiple antiseizure medications (ASMs), together with variability in seizure types, safety considerations, and evolving patient needs, makes treatment ...
