Acute seizures attributable to falciparum malaria in an endemic area on the Kenyan coast. [PDF]

, 2011
Falciparum malaria is an important cause of acute symptomatic seizures in children admitted to hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa, and these seizures are associated with neurological disabilities and epilepsy.

Effect of Brivaracetam on Efficacy and Tolerability in Patients With Brain Tumor-Related Epilepsy: A Retrospective Multicenter Study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: Epilepsy is a common symptom of brain tumors and is often pharmacoresistent. Among new antiseizure medications (ASMs) Brivaracetam (BRV) has been approved as adjunctive treatment for focal seizures and it was tested in non-oncological patient

GABAergic circuits drive focal seizures

Neurobiology of Disease, 2023
Epilepsy is based on abnormal neuronal activities that have historically been suggested to arise from an excess of excitation and a defect of inhibition, or in other words from an excessive glutamatergic drive not balanced by GABAergic activity.

Vagus nerve stimulation for generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) accompanying seizures with impaired consciousness

Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2017
Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is characterized by childhood-onset epilepsy syndrome. It involves febrile seizures and a variety of afebrile epileptic seizure types within the same pedigree with autosomal-dominant inheritance ...

Different pharmacoresistance of focal epileptic spasms, generalized epileptic spasms, and generalized epileptic spasms combined with focal seizures

Epilepsia Open, 2022
Objective Among standard treatments for infantile spasms, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is reported as the best treatment, but ACTH is ineffective in one‐half of the patients.

Lifetime prevalence of epilepsy in urban Tanzania – A door-to-door random cluster survey

eNeurologicalSci, 2021
Objectives: Epileptic seizures and epilepsy in urban settings of low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC) are largely under-researched, but their prevalence is necessary for good healthcare planning.

GABAergic networks jump-start focal seizures [PDF]

, 2016
Abnormally enhanced glutamatergic excitation is commonly believed to mark the onset of a focal seizure. This notion, however, is not supported by firm evidence, and it will be challenged here.

Clinical analysis on 22 patients with childhood and juvenile epilepsy related focal cortical dysplasia

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2018
Background Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a group of diseases including abnormal cortical layer, abnormal cell structure and abnormal white matter. It is one of the main causes of intractable epilepsy.

Focal seizures without awareness

Epilepsy Research, 2015
To characterize patients with seizures that only occur without their awareness (SWA).Twenty-four patients with SWA were retrospectively identified by chart review and subsequently underwent video-EEG monitoring (VEM). Eleven patients met selection criteria for SWA and were never aware of any seizures.
