Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Does having bad epilepsy make you a good surgical candidate? A number needed to treat analysis
Abstract Epilepsy surgery is an established treatment for drug‐resistant epilepsy, offering a realistic prospect of seizure freedom in well‐selected candidates. However, surgery is sometimes offered to individuals with a low probability of seizure freedom when it is framed as potentially “life‐saving” on the basis of the elevated mortality associated ...

Abstract This multicenter retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) in 22 patients with 15q11.2‐q13.1 duplication or deletion syndromes (15q‐DDS), including 12 with 15q duplication syndrome (dup15q) and 10 with Angelman syndrome (AS). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) age at CBD initiation was 14.5

Chronic sleep deprivation promotes drug‐resistant epilepsy via the BMAL1‐mTOR‐P‐gp axis
Abstract Objective The interplay between chronic sleep deprivation and drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) has gained increasing attention. Brain and muscle Arnt‐like protein 1 (BMAL1), which is implicated in sleep disturbance, has an unclear role in DRE. We aimed to investigate the role of BMAL1 in sleep deprivation‐induced DRE. Methods A pentylenetetrazole

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...
