The treatment and control groups improved on measures of sleep quality, quality of life, sleep hygiene behaviors, and dysfunctional beliefs about sleep.
The diagnostic performance of smartphone videos was compared with the diagnostic performances of history and physical examinations and video electroencephalogram monitoring (VEM).
Biologists have created a chemical compound to enable more precise investigation of NMDAR activity.
Riluzole reduces persistent sodium currents and excitatory postsynaptic currents from NMDA receptor activation, according to researchers,
Pediatric Epilepsy
A low Apgar score at 5 minutes, neonatal seizures, focal-onset epilepsy, and focal slowing on electroencephalogram (EEG) are risk factor variables that cumulatively form an accurate model for predicting the risk for drug-resistant epilepsy in children with cerebral palsy.
CBD
While seizures have been reported in association with synthetic cannabinoids, the clinical features and prognosis have not been studied.
Pediatric Epilepsy
Children with epilepsy who are as active as peers without epilepsy have good objective measures of sleep despite self-reported fatigue and parent-reported sleep problems.
Genetics
The data argue for early consideration of WES with iterative reanalysis for patients with epilepsy, particularly those with DEE or epilepsy with intellectual disability.
This study estimates the active (9/1000) and lifetime (16/1000) epilepsy with a remarkable burden of the disease in Sub-Saharan Africa.
