Intersection of epilepsy and cardiac health: Insights from electrocardiography and syndromic associations

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition marked by recurrent, uncontrolled seizures. Identifying comorbidities in epilepsy is critical for preventing mortality. Among these, the autonomic nervous system's role in epilepsy often manifests as cardiac disorders. Patients with epilepsy (PWE), particularly those with poorly controlled seizures,

Topiramate Monotherapy in Infantile Spasm

Yonsei Medical Journal, 2006
Infantile spasm is an age-related refractory epilepsy. Topiramate is a new anticonvulsant with multiple mechanisms of action, and it may be effective for treating pediatric epilepsies. To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of first-line topiramate treatment for infantile spasm, 20 patients received topiramate monotherapy during this study.

What defines response to vagus nerve stimulation in children with drug‐resistant epilepsy? A prospective cohort study from the CONNECTiVOS collaboration

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Responsiveness to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in children with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) is often defined based on reduction in seizure frequency, typically at the 50% threshold, with limited consideration to the effects of therapy on seizure severity and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). In the current report, we sought

Cannabidiol attenuates epileptic phenotype and increases survival in a mouse model of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 1

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 1 (DEE1) is a rare drug‐resistant pediatric epilepsy caused by trinucleotide repeat expansions in the X‐linked ARX gene, leading to elongation of the first polyalanine tract. It presents with early onset tonic seizures or spasms, developmental and cognition delay, and high risk of ...

Clioquinol as a new therapy in epilepsy: From preclinical evidence to a proof‐of‐concept clinical study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects >25 million people worldwide and is often associated with neuroinflammation. Increasing evidence links deficiency or malfunctioning of the enzyme phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), which converts 3‐phosphoglycerate to generate serine and the neurotransmitter glycine, with (drug‐resistant ...

Presence of interictal epileptiform EEG discharges implies increased risk of recurrence after the first unprovoked seizure: Report of the International League Against Epilepsy and International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective A joint International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology–International League Against Epilepsy (IFCN‐ILAE) Taskforce was created to explore the published evidence for initial EEG recordings in the evaluation of patients who experienced their first unprovoked seizure, and to determine the diagnostic value of EEG in supporting the ...

Absence seizures and sleep–wake abnormalities in a rat model of GRIN2B neurodevelopmental disorder

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pathogenic mutations in GRIN2B are an important cause of severe neurodevelopmental disorders resulting in epilepsy, autism, and intellectual disability. GRIN2B encodes the GluN2B subunit of N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate receptors (NMDARs), which are ionotropic glutamate receptors critical for normal development of the nervous system and ...

Deciphering SCN2A: A comprehensive review of rodent models of Scn2a dysfunction

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract SCN2A encodes for the alpha subunit of the voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.2, which is involved in action potential initiation and backpropagation in excitatory neurons. Currently, it is one of the highest monogenetic risk factors for both epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder.
