Hepatoportal Leptin Sensors and Their Reflex Effects on Autonomic Outflow in the Rat

open access: yesJournal of Obesity, 2011
Afferent nerve signals were recorded from a peripheral cut end of the small nerve bundle of the hepatic branch of the vagus nerve in anesthetized rats. An injection of leptin (100 pg, 0.1 mL) into the portal vein facilitated the afferent activity.

Agreement and 2‐year trajectories of youth‐ and parent‐reported health‐related quality of life in youth with epilepsy treated with surgery vs medical therapy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This cohort study examined the agreement between youth‐ and parent‐reported health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) of children treated with epilepsy surgery compared to medical therapy. A second aim was to evaluate whether changes in HRQOL over 2 years differed between the two groups, and to determine whether these trajectories ...

A phase 3, randomized clinical trial of soticlestat as adjunctive therapy for Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Soticlestat as adjunctive therapy for Lennox–Gastaut syndrome. Abstract Objective There remains a need for new treatments for Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with a heterogenous patient population that often requires polytherapy.
