Medication‐resistant epilepsy is associated with a unique gut microbiota signature
Abstract Objective Dysfunction of the microbiota–gut–brain axis is emerging as a new pathogenic mechanism in epilepsy, potentially impacting on medication response and disease outcome. We investigated the composition of the gut microbiota in a cohort of medication‐resistant (MR) and medication‐sensitive (MS) pediatric patients with epilepsy.

Mechanism of the Ketogenic Diet
To elucidate the possible significance of ketone bodies in the mechanism of the ketogenic diet, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, examined the effect of B-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate on excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission and spontaneous seizures in rat hippocampal slices and cultured hippocampal ...

MBOAT7 encephalopathy: Characterizing the neurology and epileptology
Abstract Objective Biallelic pathogenic MBOAT7 variants are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, intellectual disability (ID), epilepsy, and neuropsychiatric disorders such as attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorders. We aimed to characterize the epilepsy phenotype in a cohort of patients affected by this syndrome.

Abstract Objective This real‐world, retrospective, multicenter study aims to investigate the effectiveness of highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) in a large cohort of patients with epilepsy of genetic etiology due to an identified monogenic cause. Additionally, we examine the potential relationship between specific genetic subgroups and treatment ...

Status epilepticus in older adults: A critical review
Abstract Older adults (≥60 years of age) have the highest incidence of status epilepticus (SE) among adults and experience the highest morbidity and mortality. SE incidence increases with age in adulthood. A recent study from Austria estimated an incidence of 89.6/100 000 and 67.6/100 000 person‐years adjusted for age and sex in women and men aged >60 ...

Abstract Objectives Accurate and user‐friendly methods to measure beta‐hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentration are needed to guide the optimal use of ketogenic diet therapy (KDT). We aimed to determine the correlation between serum, capillary, and salivary BHB concentration, and to validate an electrochemical salivary BHB point‐of‐care test (POCT) in ...

Ketogenic Diet for Type I Diabetes Mellitus. Literature Review and Clinical Experience
To date, treating type I diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a difficult clinical task that is based, from the traditional point of view, exclusively on adjusting an insulin dose and monitoring a daily carbohydrate intake.
