Febrile seizures in the developing brain result in persistent modification of neuronal excitability in limbic circuits [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Febrile (fever-induced) seizures affect 3-5% of infants and young children. Despite the high incidence of febrile seizures, their contribution to the development of epilepsy later in life has remained controversial.

Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia beyond the classical phenotype: Longitudinal electroclinical observations in a pediatric cohort

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia is a childhood‐onset generalized epilepsy syndrome with variable recognition of eyelid myoclonia, eye‐closure sensitivity, and photosensitivity during follow‐up. We aimed to characterize longitudinal clinical and electroencephalographic features in pediatric epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia, focusing on ...

Febrile seizures

open access: yes, 2005
Febrile seizures (FS) is the most common seizures in childhood (2-4%). The diagnostic evaluation of the child with a FS can be very limited or moderately comprehensive. The primary concern is always the need to exclude meningitis. Recurrences are common,

Have Pandemic Measures Reduced the Frequency of Febrile Seizures? Assessment of the Frequency of Febrile Seizures in the Pre- and Post-COVID-19 Period [PDF]

open access: yes
Introduction: Febrile seizures (FS) are common childhood seizures often triggered by fever. With the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), FS cases related to the COVID-19 have also been reported.

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Increased levels of HMGB1 and pro-inflammatory cytokines in children with febrile seizures

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2011
Objective Febrile seizures are the most common form of childhood seizures. Fever is induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines during infection, and pro-inflammatory cytokines may trigger the development of febrile seizures.

Correlation of polygenic risk score and clinical phenotype in patients with genetic generalized epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The polygenic risk score (PRS) for individuals with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) quantifies the common risk variants in genes identified in genome‐wide association studies. We hypothesized that the phenotype of GGE patients differs based on their GGE PRS. Methods We identified participants with highest (n = 59) versus lowest (n
