Abstract Objective Timely diagnosis and effective treatment of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) improve prognosis and lower health care costs, but the transition from infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) to LGS is highly variable and insidious. Objective biomarkers are needed to monitor this progression and guide clinical decision‐making. Methods We

ACTH treatment of infantile spasms: mechanisms of its effects in modulation of neuronal excitability. [PDF]
The efficacy of ACTH, particularly in high doses, for rapid and complete elimination of infantile spasms (IS) has been demonstrated in prospective controlled studies. However, the mechanisms for this efficacy remain unknown.

ABSTRACT Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) serves a dual function as complex II of the electron transport chain and an enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Pathogenic variants in subunits of SDH result in diverse clinical presentations, including typically autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorders. Biallelic variants in the SDHA subunit most often

ABSTRACT O‐GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and its antagonist O‐GlcNAcase (OGA) regulate protein O‐GlcNAcylation, a highly conserved post‐translational modification involved in metabolic sensing. Pathogenic variants in the OGT gene cause an X‐linked congenital disorder of glycosylation (OGT‐CDG) presenting developmental delay, hypotonia, intellectual ...

Infantile spasms: hypothesis-driven therapy and pilot human infant experiments using corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonists. [PDF]
Background and rationaleInfantile spasms (IS) are an age-specific seizure disorder occurring in 1:2,000 infants and associated with mental retardation in approximately 90% of affected individuals. The costs of IS in terms of loss of lifetime productivity

Novel characterization method of impedance cardiography signals using time-frequency distributions [PDF]
The purpose of this document is to describe a methodology to select the most adequate time-frequency distribution (TFD) kernel for the characterization of impedance cardiography signals (ICG). The predominant ICG beat was extracted from a patient and was
