Medication‐resistant epilepsy is associated with a unique gut microbiota signature

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 2000
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

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
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.

Expanding the therapeutic role of highly purified cannabidiol in monogenic epilepsies: A multicenter real‐world study

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
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 ...

Serial correlation between saliva and blood beta‐hydroxybutyrate levels in children commencing the ketogenic diet for epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
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 ...

GABRA2‐related encephalopathy: Identification of two phenotypes with distinctive electroclinical features

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathogenic variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor subunit genes are increasingly associated with epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders. Pathogenic variants in GABRA2, encoding the α‐2 subunit of GABAA receptors, have been recently reported.

Ketogenic Diet for Type I Diabetes Mellitus. Literature Review and Clinical Experience

open access: yesЗдоровье мегаполиса
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.
