A translational multimodal machine‐learning prototype predicting valproate response in epilepsy treatment

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects ~1% of the global population and often requires lifelong antiseizure medication (ASM) therapy. Valproic acid (VPA) is a commonly prescribed first‐line ASM, yet only approximately half of patients achieve sustained seizure freedom. Treatment selection remains largely empirical.

Long‐term prognosis of pharmacotherapy in newly diagnosed focal epilepsy patients and the predictive value of baseline seizure timing: A prospective cohort study

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a highly heterogeneous neurological disorder with significant prognostic variability. Accurate long‐term outcome prediction remains a clinical challenge. We investigated pharmacotherapeutic prognosis and key predictors, particularly baseline seizure timing, to guide individualized treatment.

Add‐on treatment with vinpocetine reduces seizure frequency and improves comorbidities in patients with loss‐of‐function γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor variants

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The semisynthetic compound vinpocetine has gained attention as a potential precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies caused by loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes. As a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, case reports suggest that vinpocetine can

Are comorbid sleep disorders associated with higher risk for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy? Observations from a Canadian epilepsy clinic

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pooled mortality is nearly three times higher in people with epilepsy (PWE). Approximately 80% of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) events occur during sleep, and primary sleep disorders are prevalent in the general population and PWE.

Altered structural network in temporal lobe epilepsy with focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology
AbstractObjectivesThis study aims to investigate whether alterations in white matter topological networks are associated with focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures (FBTCS) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Additionally, we investigated the variables contributing to memory impairment in TLE.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study included 88 unilateral ...

Responsive stimulation of the thalamus for idiopathic generalized epilepsy: Results of the randomized controlled NAUTILUS trial through 18 months

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of responsive thalamic stimulation as adjunctive therapy for drug‐resistant idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) with generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCSs). Methods NAUTILUS is a prospective, multicenter, single‐blind, randomized sham‐controlled pivotal trial ...

Ultrafast oscillations in the human brain and their functional significance

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The upper frequency limit of human brain activity remains unknown. Using ultrahigh sampling rate (≥20 kHz) intracranial microelectroencephalography, this study aimed to systematically explore and quantitatively characterize brain field oscillations beyond the established high‐frequency oscillation range (>2 kHz), and to determine ...

Paroxysmal slow waves mark ictal networks

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy diagnosis and treatment monitoring are hindered by the episodic, heterogeneous expression of seizures and by normal‐appearing scalp electroencephalography (EEG) in many patients. We previously described paroxysmal slow‐wave events (PSWEs), brief epochs of broadband slowing detectable on EEG in people with epilepsy.
