Computational protein stability analysis of SCN1A missense variants reveals domain‐dependent stability patterns

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To determine whether computational protein‐stability predictions discriminate pathogenic from benign SCN1A missense variants, and to characterize the structural distribution of predicted destabilization among pathogenic variants. Methods On an AlphaFold3‐predicted Nav1.1 structure, FoldX, and Rosetta Cartesian ΔΔG were computed for a

Cumulative electroconvulsive therapy sessions and focal epilepsy: A nationwide cohort study in Japan

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is widely used for severe psychiatric disorders, yet concerns remain regarding possible epileptogenic effects associated with prolonged or repeated exposure. We examined the association between cumulative ECT sessions and focal epilepsy in a nationwide Japanese cohort.

Response to anti‐seizure medications in children carrying novel or previously reported HCN1 gene variants

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Variants in the HCN1 gene cause a syndrome of childhood epilepsy and developmental disability with a broad phenotypic range. Many affected children manifest with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE) and highly drug‐resistant epilepsy.

Europe's contribution to the evaluation of the use of systemic antimicrobials in the treatment of periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review celebrates Europe's contribution to the current knowledge on systemically administered antimicrobials in periodontal treatment. Periodontitis is the most frequent chronic noncommunicable human disease. It is caused by dysbiotic bacterial biofilms and is commonly treated with subgingival instrumentation.

Febrile seizure management and effectiveness of prevention with antipyretics

Background: Before reaching the age of 5, 2–5% of children will have had a febrile seizure. Most are categorised as simple but they can be complex and carry the risk of complications. They can be frightening for parents.

Astrocyte subtype‐specific alterations in the dentate gyrus of individuals with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide and, although primarily attributed to neuronal dysfunction, increasing evidence highlights a critical role of glial cells, particularly astrocytes, in the pathophysiological mechanisms.

From first seizure to specific antiseizure medication in Dravet syndrome: Quantifying delays in the DS'coverED study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare early‐onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with persistent delays between seizure onset and diagnosis. The DS'coverED study aimed to characterize current diagnostic timelines by examining each step and its duration, identifying residual barriers, and actionable solutions to optimize the ...

The spatial learning task of Lhermitte and Signoret: Marker of bilateral hippocampal dysfunction in temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Bilateral hippocampal compromise in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) substantially increases the risk of significant adverse memory outcomes following unilateral anterior temporal lobectomy and may contraindicate surgery. The Spatial Learning Task (SLT) of Lhermitte and Signoret (1972) is a simple object–location arbitrary associative ...

A primary care‐led school‐centered model for epilepsy detection and care among children in India

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We evaluated whether a primary care‐led, school‐centered epilepsy detection model, delivered through India's national school health program, Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK), could improve childhood epilepsy detection and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of teachers and primary healthcare providers.

Efficacy of stiripentol, fenfluramine, and their combination on clinical outcomes in Dravet syndrome: A preliminary report

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Stiripentol and fenfluramine are approved treatments for Dravet syndrome (DS), but real‐world data comparing their effectiveness and combined use remain limited. Our study aims to explore associations between treatment with stiripentol, fenfluramine, and their combination and clinical outcomes in patients with DS.
