Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy with Elderly Onset of Stroke-Like Episodes.
A 52-year-old woman with a history of a hearing disturbance since age 20 experienced visual hallucinations and convulsions, followed by right hemiparesis and aphasia. On the basis of a muscle biopsy and mitochondrial DNA analysis, she was diagnosed as mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS).

Abstract Background Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet an ‘obesity paradox’ has been observed in various CVD contexts. The impact of obesity on heart failure (HF) patients treated with a wearable cardioverter‐defibrillator (WCD) remains underexplored.

Non‐contrast MRI reliably captures perfusion abnormalities in status epilepticus
Abstract Objective To determine whether non‐contrast pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) detects status epilepticus (SE)–related perfusion abnormalities and shows quantitative correspondence with dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to compare single‐slice and volumetric approaches for ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
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.

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments
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.

Abstract Objective The integration of neurotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) in epilepsy research has led to significant advancements in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. However, the impact of these innovations is often diminished by inadequate and inaccurate reporting, limiting their reproducibility and implementation.
