Brainstem atrophy in focal epilepsy destabilizes brainstem-brain interactions: Preliminary findings. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: MR Imaging has shown atrophy in brainstem regions that were linked to autonomic dysfunction in epilepsy patients. The brainstem projects to and modulates the activation state of several wide-spread cortical/subcortical regions.

Rescue epilepsy medication and training: A comparison between midazolam use, guidelines, clinical practice, and possibilities in the UK and Norway

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Status epilepticus (SE) is a prolonged epileptic seizure carrying significant risk of long‐term disability and death. Rescue therapies are prescribed for prehospital administration to terminate SE. This study compared prescribing practices of rescue therapies of midazolam in the UK and Norway.

The effect of cortical and subcortical parcel volumes on postictal generalized EEG suppression

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Alterations to brain structures and networks involved in central autonomic and respiratory control are possible biomarkers of SUDEP, but were mainly demonstrated in people at high risk. Postictal generalized EEG suppression (PGES) has been recorded in every case of near or confirmed SUDEP. The structural alterations underpinning PGES

The Insula and Its Epilepsies [PDF]

, 2019
Insular seizures are great mimickers of seizures originating elsewhere in the brain. The insula is a highly connected brain structure. Seizures may only become clinically evident after ictal activity propagates out of the insula with semiology that ...

Update on the Genetic Basis of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, also known as SUDEP, is the main cause of death in patients with epilepsy. SUDEP has an incidence of 1.2 per 1000 person-years in adults and 0.2 per 1000 person-years in children.

Epilepsy beyond seizures: a review of the impact of epilepsy and its comorbidities on health-related quality of life in dogs [PDF]

Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological conditions in the dog, estimated to affect 0.6 to 0.75 per cent of dogs. Owners of dogs with epilepsy have previously indicated that their dog's quality of life (QoL) is of greatest importance to ...

Age-specific periictal electroclinical features of generalized tonic-clonic seizures and potential risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) [PDF]

, 2013
Generalized tonic–clonic seizure (GTCS) is the commonest seizure type associated with sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). This study examined the semiological and electroencephalographic differences (EEG) in the GTCSs of adults as compared ...
