The effectiveness of adding on or switching antiseizure medications after the first fails to control focal epilepsy: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Focal epilepsy constitutes 60–70% of epilepsy, and up to half of patients do not achieve seizure freedom with their first antiseizure medication (ASM). When the first ASM fails, evidence guiding whether to switch or add‐on another ASM and which ASMs to use is limited. This review synthesized evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on

Core outcome set for quality of life of family caregivers of adults with epilepsy: A Delphi consensus study

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy significantly affects daily functioning and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) of those living with the condition. Less is known about HRQOL of family caregivers of adults with epilepsy, yet the functioning of patients and caregivers is interlinked, and caregivers' unmet support needs are high.

How should etiology change the classification of the epilepsies? Report from the ILAE 2021–2025 Terminology Commission

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The classification of the epilepsies has traditionally relied on clinical and electroencephalographic features. However, advancements in molecular genetics, neuroimaging, and our understanding of epilepsy pathophysiology necessitate a shift toward an etiology‐based approach.

Etiology‐specific spectrum of epilepsy syndromes (ESSES): Widening the concept of etiology‐specific epilepsies—Report from the ILAE 2021–2025 Terminology Commission

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract A new type of epilepsy syndrome, an etiology‐specific epilepsy syndrome, was defined in 2022 in recognition of major advances in identifying the many genetic and acquired etiologies underlying the epilepsies. An etiology‐specific epilepsy syndrome refers to where a known etiology is associated with a distinctive epilepsy presentation ...

Uganda [PDF]

Oryx, 1952
With the reduction in poaching the game in the reserve is much less wild than it used to be, and visitors to the Murchison Falls are seeing more of it than previously. The animals seen on the Nile boat trip, however, give a completely false idea of the numbers of the various species that are actually present in the reserve.
