Findings suggest that diagnostic delays are common for this rare form of the disease, so researchers urge clinicians to consider it as a potential diagnosis for patients who develop vision problems in childhood and seizures in adolescence or adulthood.
SUDEP
Effective long-term medical treatment with cenobamate may reduce excess mortality associated with epilepsy.
CBD
Future research needs to investigate the therapeutic effects of CBD and AEs in the presence of various dosages of other antiepileptic dugs in order to achieve a safe and effective dose for treatment-resistant patients with epilepsy.
The earpiece signals an app on the patient’s mobile phone that a seizure is likely. A family member or caregiver can also be alerted.
The NightWatch system demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting nocturnal major motor seizures in children in a family home setting and reduced caregiver stress.
Three teams had projects with both a preclinical and a clinical component; these teams focused on: targeting the epileptogenic effects of subarachnoid blood, exploring the neuropathological mechanisms of epileptogenesis, and defining the role of extracellular matrix injury.
The flexible robot is inserted into a patient’s skull and sits between the skull and the surface of the brain.
Those results confirm the thesis how the impact of certain external factors is complex and that the further study is required in that respect.
