Time of Day and a Ketogenic Diet Influence Susceptibility to SUDEP in Scn1aR1407X/+ Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a major cause of mortality in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Most SUDEP cases occur in bed at night and are preceded by a generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS).

Cardiovascular morbidity following epilepsy: A nationwide retrospective cohort study in South Korea

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the long‐term risk of major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in patients with epilepsy using a nationwide cohort, aiming to address critical gaps in population‐based evidence on brain–heart interactions. Methods Data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (2002–2013) were analyzed.

Stiripentol use in Dravet syndrome patients in the USA: Results of a real‐world study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with a high seizure burden and mortality risk. Stiripentol, one of the first DS‐specific therapies, received FDA approval in 2018 but its real‐world use and impact post‐approval in the USA remain insufficiently characterized.

Clock gene dysregulation in epilepsy: A systematic review

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epileptic seizures show a rhythmic pattern, being more frequent at particular times of the day (e.g., only occurring during sleep), suggesting a role of the circadian rhythm. Clock genes regulate the circadian rhythm and might be involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy.

Seizure-triggered Takotsubo syndrome rarely causes SUDEP [PDF]

open access: yesSeizure, 2015
Since almost 20 y it is known that seizures may trigger Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Since then it has been repeatedly proposed that TTS could be the cause of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). A review of the so far reported cases of seizure-triggered TTS was carried out to see how often seizure-triggered TTS is fatal. Altogether 59 papers were

Areas of research priorities in epilepsy: A position paper of the European Reference Network for Rare and Complex Epilepsies, EpiCARE

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To define and articulate research priorities in epilepsy identified by the European Reference Network for Rare and Complex Epilepsies (ERN EpiCARE), addressing key unmet needs across the spectrum of rare and complex epilepsies. Methods This position paper was developed through a structured collaborative process involving patient ...

Are Variants Causing Cardiac Arrhythmia Risk Factors in Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy?

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most common cause of premature mortality in individuals with epilepsy. Acute and adaptive changes in heart rhythm in epilepsy implicate cardiac dysfunction as a potential pathogenic mechanism in SUDEP ...

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP): Risk management of pediatric patients with epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of death in people with epilepsy with an incidence of 1:1000. The primary risk factors for SUDEP are generalized or focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures. Preventive measures like nighttime monitoring devices and resuscitation training address modifiable risk factors.

Extracellular vesicle microRNAs are biomarkers of focal epilepsy but not epilepsy‐related respiratory dysfunction

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate the diagnostic value of a set of preselected candidate microRNAs (miRNAs) extracted from plasma‐based extracellular vesicles (EVs) to identify patients with seizure‐related respiratory dysfunction. Methods A two‐step design was applied.
