Adenosine-A2A Receptor Signaling Plays a Crucial Role in Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Adenosinergic activities are suggested to participate in SUDEP pathophysiology; this study aimed to evaluate the adenosine hypothesis of SUDEP and specifically the role of adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) in the development of a SUDEP mouse model with ...

Seizure Clusters, Seizure Severity Markers, and SUDEP Risk
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Rationale: Seizure clusters may be related to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). Two or more generalized convulsive seizures (GCS) were captured during video electroencephalography in 7/11 (64%) patients with monitored SUDEP in the MORTEMUS ...

SUDEP in patients with epilepsy and nonepileptic seizures [PDF]
Epilepsia Open, 2019 AbstractWe report 13 SUDEP cases in the North American SUDEP Registry with both psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) and epileptic seizures (ES) among a consecutive series of 231 cases (excluding epileptic encephalopathies). On average, cases of PNES + ES died at a younger age (23 ± 11 years) than the ES‐only cohort (30 ± 14 years), and died an ...

Prone sleeping and SUDEP risk: The dynamics of body positions in nonfatal convulsive seizures [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Most victims of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) are found prone with signs suggestive of an unwitnessed convulsive seizure (CS). Prone sleeping has been proposed as a risk factor for SUDEP.
