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.

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 ...

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 ...

Medication error: Subarachnoid injection of tranexamic acid
Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2012 Some factors have been identified as contributing to medical errors, such as labels, appearance and location of ampoules. We present a case of accidental injection of tranexamic acid instead of Bupivacaine during spinal anaesthesia.

Rest‐activity patterns across development in two mouse models of autism and epilepsy
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Sleep disturbances are common in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and epilepsy and are increasingly recognized as comorbidities that affect disease severity and quality of life. This study investigated rest‐activity patterns across development in two genetic mouse models relevant to ASD and epilepsy: synapsin 2 (Syn2 ...
