Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Carbamazepine-Induced Juvenile Myoclonic Seizures

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2000
The risk of aggravation of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) among 40 of 170 consecutive patients who had received carbamazepine (CBZ) or phenytoin (PHT) was determined at the Centre Saint Paul, Marseille, and the Clinique Neurologique, Hopital Pasteur ...

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Comparison of Alexithymia among Patients with Tonic-Clonic Epilepsy, Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy and Healthy Individuals

Journal of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background & objectives: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that disrupts normal brain activity due to abnormal electrical discharge of brain cells. Mood swings, depression and anxiety are the common complications in epilepsy.

Long-Term Outcome of Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2009
All patients developing juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) by 16 years of age in Nova Scotia between 1977 and 1985 were contacted in 2006-2008 to determine long-term seizure and social outcome, in a study at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada.

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare

Frequency of anti‐neural antibodies and autoimmune epilepsy in focal epilepsy of unknown etiology: An observational study in a Singaporean cohort

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Autoimmune epilepsy (AES) is increasingly recognized as a condition in patients with epilepsy of unknown etiology. Early immunotherapy improves outcomes; however, data on its prevalence and the frequency of anti‐neural/neuronal antibodies in Asian populations remain scarce.
