A recent study suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic may hamper care for patients in need of EEG-based investigations, particularly patients with seizure disorders.
Ketogenic Diet
To answer the question posed in the title of the manuscript, the authors critically examined the connection between ketogenic diet (KD), gut microbiota (GM), and epilepsy.
SUDEP
Annually on October 23, the global epilepsy community comes together for SUDEP Action Day, an international event to raise awareness about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
The study of high frequency oscillations (HFO) [a type of brain activity] in the electroencephalogram (EEG) as biomarkers of epileptic activity has merely focused on their spatial location and relationship to the epileptogenic zone.
This study's purpose was to compare epilepsy-related injuries in untreated or inadequately treated patients and patients on adequate treatment. Learn more.
Nasal pain, as an epileptic aura, has been poorly recognized. This study aims to demonstrate clinical features of patients with epilepsy who have nasal pain as an aura.
Approximately one-third of people living with epilepsy are unable to obtain seizure control with the currently marketed antiseizure medications (ASMs), creating a need for novel therapeutics with new mechanisms of action.
Having subtler symptoms, a form of epilepsy that affects only one part of the brain often goes undiagnosed long enough to cause unexpected seizures that contribute to car crashes, a new study finds.
Pharmacoresistance and the lack of disease?modifying actions of current antiseizure drugs persist as major challenges in the treatment of epilepsy. The aim of the present study was to compare the molecular landscape of the intra?amygdala kainic acid model of status epilepticus in mice with findings in resected brain tissue from patients with drug?resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
