Exploiting Separators for Guiding VNS [PDF]

Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2012
This paper presents two extensions for DGVNS (Decomposition Guided VNS) method, that exploit both the graph of clusters and separators between these clusters, to efficiently guide the exploration of large neighborhoods in VNS. Experiments performed on challenging instances of the tagSNP selection problem show the appropriateness and the efficiency of ...

The effect of vagus nerve stimulation on heart rate and respiration rate and their impact on seizure susceptibility in anaesthetized rats under pentylenetetrazol

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Despite the proven efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in seizure control, its precise mechanism of action remains unclear. VNS is known to impact the cardiorespiratory system.

Responsive stimulation of the thalamus for idiopathic generalized epilepsy: Results of the randomized controlled NAUTILUS trial through 18 months

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of responsive thalamic stimulation as adjunctive therapy for drug‐resistant idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) with generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCSs). Methods NAUTILUS is a prospective, multicenter, single‐blind, randomized sham‐controlled pivotal trial ...

Gamma suppression correlates with thalamic stimulation therapeutic response in intractable epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy who undergo anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) deep brain stimulation (DBS), efficacy is assessed months after therapy initiation and clinicians have no guidance when choosing stimulation parameters due to the lack of real‐time biomarkers.

Right‐sided vagus nerve stimulation: Worldwide collection and perspectives

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology
Objective Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established therapy for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) and is indicated for implantation on the left vagus nerve‐only. In rare cases right‐sided VNS may be the only option.

SUDEP and mortality in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: A meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials and extension studies

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are associated with high premature mortality and increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). However, epidemiological data remain limited, particularly for specific syndromes such as Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), and infantile epileptic ...
