New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Febrile status epilepticus and epileptogenesis: The FEBSTAT study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The multicenter FEBSTAT study (Consequences of Prolonged Febrile Seizures in Childhood: https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R37‐NS043209‐12; PI S. Shinnar) examined the outcome of febrile status epilepticus (FSE) in over 200 prospectively enrolled infants, with many followed for 10 years after FSE.

Frontiers in EEG as a tool for the management of pediatric epilepsy: Past, present, and future

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) has evolved into an indispensable tool in pediatric epilepsy, fundamentally transforming the diagnosis, classification, and management of this condition. This review chronicles the historical journey of EEG from its groundbreaking inception to its current pivotal role in delineating distinct pediatric epilepsy ...

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Food Fortification: Strategy to Combat Hidden Hunger: A Systematic Review

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Food fortification involves adding essential vitamins and minerals (e.g., iron, iodine, vitamin A, and folic acid) to staple foods such as salt, wheat flour, rice, and oil. ABSTRACT Hidden hunger or micronutrient deficiency, affects over two billion people worldwide, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. This global problem impacts nearly a

Ghinn: Colorism and gendered revulsion in North India

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how colorism is gendered in North India by foregrounding women's narratives of being subjected to ghinn—disgust or repugnance—around their skin tone. I argue that paying attention to the ghinn directed at dark skin shows how colorism here builds on casteism, and how there is a gendered dimension to it: ghinn at women ...
