Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy: A Personalized Prediction Tool. [PDF]
Neurology, 2021 To develop and validate a tool for individualized prediction of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) risk, we reanalyzed data from 1 cohort and 3 case-control studies undertaken from 1980 through 2005.We entered 1,273 epilepsy cases (287 SUDEP, 986 controls) and 22 clinical predictor variables into a Bayesian logistic regression model.Cross ...

From fix to fit into the autoptic human brains. [PDF]
, 2018 Formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded (FFPE) human brain tissues are very often stored in formalin for long time. Formalin fixation reduces immunostaining, and the DNA/RNA extraction from FFPE brain tissue becomes suboptimal.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: Respiratory mechanisms. [PDF]
Handb Clin Neurol, 2022 Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurologic diseases, with a prevalence of 1% in the US population. Many people with epilepsy live normal lives, but are at risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). This mysterious comorbidity of epilepsy causes premature death in 17%-50% of those with epilepsy. Most SUDEP occurs after a generalized
