Synchrotron‐generated microbeams as a radiosurgical alternative for drug‐resistant epilepsies: Proof of concept in a mouse model of mesiotemporal lobe epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective One‐third of patients with epilepsy, particularly those with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), remain resistant to medication. Resective surgery, the gold standard, is highly invasive and carries significant risks. Here, using a mouse model, we explored the potential of microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), a new technique based on ...

L‐Relationship between uncertainty and average seizure frequency in clinical trials of antiseizure medications

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Antiseizure medications are approved based on clinical trials that demonstrate their efficacy as measured by reductions in seizure frequency (SF). When designing these trials, trialists must select inclusion criteria where SF can be reliably measured to maintain statistical power.

Modulation of autonomic activity in neurological conditions: Epilepsy and Tourette Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This manuscript considers the central but neglected role of the autonomic nervous system in the expression and control of seizures in epilepsy (small) and tics in Tourette Syndrome (TS).

Prospective evaluation of a seizure detection wearable device for timely interventions in an epilepsy monitoring unit

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the real‐world performance of a wrist‐worn seizure detection device for timely clinical interventions within an epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU). Methods We conducted a prospective observational study involving patients admitted to the EMU at a tertiary care center.

Epilepsy and hypertension: The possible link for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy?

open access: yesCardiology Journal, 2021
Epilepsy affects about 50 million people worldwide. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the main cause of death in epilepsy accounting for up to 17% of all deaths in epileptic patients, and therefore remains a major public health problem ...

Altered brain connectivity in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) revealed using resting-state fMRI. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The circumstances surrounding SUDEP suggest autonomic or respiratory collapse, implying central failure of regulation or recovery. Characterisation of the communication among brain areas mediating such processes may shed light on mechanisms and ...

Optimal approach to standardized documentation in epilepsy clinics: A scoping review

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Clear documentation and transfer of information between health care providers is key to ensuring the delivery of high‐quality patient care. Our aim was to determine how to optimize and standardize physician documentation in outpatient epilepsy clinics as well as to highlight challenges and barriers to their implementation.

Consumo de álcool e morte súbita em epilepsia: uma abordagem experimental [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Using the pilocarpine model of epilepsy, we investigated the effects of alcohol consumption on the frequency of seizures in animals with epilepsy as well the underlying a possible association between alcohol intake and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

Predictive value of seizure onset for gross motor dysfunction in individuals with pathogenic GABRB2 and GABRB3 variants

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pathogenic variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes have been associated with a wide spectrum of neurological disorders. We aimed to delineate the clinical trajectories associated with gain‐of‐function (GoF) and loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in GABRB2 and GABRB3, and to develop a risk‐prediction model for gross

Comparative assessment of artificial intelligence chatbots' performance in responding to healthcare professionals' and caregivers' questions about Dravet syndrome

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Artificial intelligence chatbots have been a game changer in healthcare, providing immediate, round‐the‐clock assistance. However, their accuracy across specific medical domains remains under‐evaluated. Dravet syndrome remains one of the most challenging epileptic encephalopathies, with new data continuously emerging in the ...
