Scalp EEG interictal high frequency oscillations as an objective biomarker of infantile spasms

Clinical Neurophysiology, 2020
Objective To investigate the diagnostic utility of high frequency oscillations (HFOs) via scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) in infantile spasms. Methods We retrospectively analyzed interictal slow-wave sleep EEGs sampled at 2,000 Hz recorded from 30 ...

A Systematic Literature Review and Indirect Treatment Comparison of Efficacy of Repository Corticotropin Injection versus Synthetic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone for Infantile Spasms

Journal of Health Economics and Outcomes Research, 2021
# Background Infantile spasms is a rare disease characterized by distinct seizures and hypsarrhythmia. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is available as a natural product (repository corticotropin injection, [RCI]; Acthar® Gel) and as synthetic analogs.

Case Report: Neurodevelopmental Outcome in a Small-for-Gestational-Age Infant With Symptomatic Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia, Gaze Preference, and Infantile Spasms

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Recurrent and profound hypoglycemia is a leading cause of neonatal brain injury. Small-for-gestational-age infants are at risk of hypoglycemia due to substrate deficiency and hyperinsulinism. Inappropriate insulin secretion by the β-cells of the pancreas

NEAT1 Promotes Epileptogenesis in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The primary neurological manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) are intractable epilepsy and intellectual disability. NEAT1 is differentially expressed in TSC‐related epilepsy and influences neuronal excitability by regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Trisomy 5p: Long Recognized, Rarely Published‐ Three New Cases and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complete trisomy 5p is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by a duplication of the short arm of chromosome 5. Current data suggest that complete trisomy 5p presents as a distinct clinical syndrome including but not limited to seizures, developmental delays, facial dysmorphisms, failure to thrive, and recurrent respiratory infections.
