Add‐on treatment with vinpocetine reduces seizure frequency and improves comorbidities in patients with loss‐of‐function γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor variants

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The semisynthetic compound vinpocetine has gained attention as a potential precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies caused by loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes. As a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, case reports suggest that vinpocetine can

Effectiveness and tolerability of fenfluramine in pediatric and adult patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: A multicenter, retrospective, real‐world clinical‐practice study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by drug‐resistant seizures and developmental slowing/regression. We examined the efficacy and tolerability of fenfluramine (FFA) in pediatric and adult patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS), and other DEEs.

Intermittent fasting with medium‐chain triglycerides in drug‐resistant epilepsy: A pilot crossover trial

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Ketogenic dietary therapies can reduce seizure frequency in drug‐resistant epilepsy, but adherence to the classical ketogenic diet is often poor. Intermittent fasting supplemented with medium‐chain triglycerides (MCTs) may offer a more feasible and less restrictive alternative.

New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) versus refractory status epilepticus not meeting NORSE criteria: A comparative clinical and electroencephalography‐based study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a rare, severe presentation of refractory status epilepticus (RSE), with approximately half of cases cryptogenic NORSE (c‐NORSE). We compared electroencephalographic (EEG) findings alongside clinical features between NORSE and RSE not meeting NORSE criteria to better understand ...

β‐Hydroxybutyrate reduces neuronal excitability via GIRK channels

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
β‐Hydroxybutyrate decreases neuronal excitability by activating GIRK channels through HCAR2 signaling, providing a cellular mechanism that may contribute to the antiseizure effects of the ketogenic diet. Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet is used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, yet the molecular mechanisms coupling metabolic state to seizure ...
