Combination Therapy With Vigabatrin and Prednisolone Versus Vigabatrin Alone for Infantile Spasms

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The study evaluated the effectiveness of combination therapy with vigabatrin and prednisolone versus vigabatrin alone for treating infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). Methods This single‐center, single‐blind, randomized trial enrolled infants aged 2–14 months with new‐onset IESS, randomly assigned them (1:1) to receive either

Effect of fenfluramine on seizures and comorbidities in SCN8A‐developmental and epileptic encephalopathy: A case series

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, 2022
SCN8A‐developmental and epileptic encephalopathy is caused by pathogenic variants in the SCN8A gene encoding the Nav1.6 sodium channel, and is characterized by intractable multivariate seizures and developmental regression.

Epilepsy in Childhood [PDF]

open access: yesAJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1926
Idiopathic or essential epilepsy is a chronic disease of the nervous system characterized by periodically recurring convulsions, lapses or abnormal mental states occurring in persons with a personality defect or constitutional inferiority but with no demonstrated pathologic lesion. 1 It is estimated that 0.4 per cent of the population is epileptic. The

CSF Tau Is a Biomarker of Hippocampal Injury in Cryptogenic New‐Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cryptogenic new‐onset refractory status epilepticus (cNORSE) is a devastating condition characterized by the de novo onset of status epilepticus with unclear etiology. The identification of relevant early biomarkers in cNORSE is important to elucidate pathophysiology, aid clinical decision‐making, and prognosticate outcomes in cNORSE.

Prediction of Epilepsy Development in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients from Diffusion Weighted MRI [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a life-long complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is a major public health problem that has an estimated incidence that ranges from 2%-50%, depending on the severity of the TBI. Currently, the pathomechanism that in-duces epileptogenesis in TBI patients is unclear, and one of the most challenging goals in the

Retinal nerve fibre layer thinning is associated with drug resistance in epilepsy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness is related to the axonal anterior visual pathway and is considered a marker of overall white matter 'integrity'. We hypothesised that RNFL changes would occur in people with epilepsy, independently of vigabatrin

Pharmacogenomics in epilepsy

open access: yesNeuroscience Letters, 2018
There is high variability in the response to antiepileptic treatment across people with epilepsy. Genetic factors significantly contribute to such variability. Recent advances in the genetics and neurobiology of the epilepsies are establishing the basis for a new era in the treatment of epilepsy, focused on each individual and their specific epilepsy ...

Biomimetic Design of Biocompatible Neural Probes for Deep Brain Signal Monitoring and Stimulation: Super Static Interface for Immune Response‐Enhanced Contact

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrathin, flexible neural probes are developed with an innovative, biomimetic design incorporating brain tissue‐compatible materials. The material system employs biomolecule‐based encapsulation agents to mitigate inflammatory responses, as demonstrated through comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies.
