Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Epilepsy surgery: From bench to the clinics

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent advances in epilepsy surgery in patients with intractable epilepsy make it possible to study the mechanism of epilepsy in human brains. However, the true extent and propagation of each epileptogenic area from the epileptogenic focus in each patient is still difficult to perform “epilepsy cure” by surgery.

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

Early Use of the NMDA Receptor Antagonist Ketamine in Refractory and Superrefractory Status Epilepticus

Critical Care Research and Practice, 2015
Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) and superrefractory status epilepticus (SRSE) pose a difficult clinical challenge. Multiple cerebral receptor and transporter changes occur with prolonged status epilepticus leading to pharmacoresistance patterns ...

Real‐world‐data for phenotypes and genotypes of rare monogenic genetic epilepsies and genes of uncertain significance for epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to develop a real‐world‐data (RWD) database for patients with epilepsy to provide further real‐world‐evidence (RWE) for monogenic genetic epilepsies; to assess the usefulness of a diagnostic algorithm in epilepsy; and to examine protein 3D structures using in silico tools to predict variant ...

Genetic landscape of patients with atypical absence status epilepticus: A systematic review

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Atypical absence status epilepticus (AASE) is a rare subtype of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), characterized by clouding of consciousness and continuous or fluctuating epileptiform activity, generally at a frequency below 3 Hz. Only sparse literature exists on the genetic conditions associated with it.

Effectiveness and safety of implantable vagus nerve stimulation in people with primary generalized tonic–clonic seizures

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
The impact of prompt diagnosis and treatment, and early predictors of outcome severity in this cohort. Abstract Objective Most therapies for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) focus on focal‐onset seizures, the most common seizure types. Studying primary generalized tonic–clonic seizures (PGTCS) is more challenging due to diagnostic and recruitment ...

Ketogenic diet therapy for children with super‐refractory status epilepticus in intensive care: International clinical practice recommendations

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We aimed to create practical recommendations to support healthcare teams starting ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) for children with super‐refractory status epilepticus in intensive care settings. Methods A literature review was conducted to extract published data on patient selection, diet prescription, diet initiation, monitoring, fine‐

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...
