In this review, researchers describe acute and chronic imaging methods that detect biomarkers for PTE and potential mechanisms of epileptogenesis.
Researchers have discovered that the spreading of seizures through the brain can be suppressed depending on the amount of pressure within the brain.
Recurrent febrile seizures appear to be associated with a risk of developing epilepsy and psychiatric disorders, but excessive mortality was observed only in those who later developed epilepsy.
SUDEP
SUDEP accounted for 0.1% of all deaths in Iceland during the study period.
Now in preclinical animal trials, rats injected with the hydrogel retained twice as many functioning neurons at the injury site as compared to the control group. They also formed new blood cells in the region.
Although adults aged 50 years and older with epilepsy face an increased risk of fracture as compared to those without epilepsy, they do not engage in a higher level of osteoprotective behaviors.
CBD
The aim of this study was to prospectively characterize the use of oral cannabis extracts in a refractory pediatric epilepsy population.
Genetics, Pediatric Epilepsy
Approximately one in forty-two thousand children are born with a disease called CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder, according to a new medical report.
Researchers applied the "Hurst Exponent," which uses complex mathematics to predict apparently random natural events such as 'rogue' ocean waves, to magnetoencephalograms (MEG) in three patients with drug-resistant epilepsy awaiting brain surgery.
