Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

[Neonatal mortality--the key to reduced neonatal mortality?].

Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke, 2009
A newborn dies every 10th second; a pregnant woman dies during labour every minute. Four of ten under-5-deaths occur the first four weeks of life. To achieve UN's fourth millennium goal on reduction of child mortality, neonatal mortality has to be markedly reduced.

Epilepsy syndromes classification

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes are distinct electroclinical entities which have been recently defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Task Force. Each syndrome is associated with “a characteristic cluster of clinical and EEG features, often supported by specific etiologic findings”.
