Research team discovers specific neuronal processes that could help advance future preventative treatments for post-traumatic epilepsy.
The aim is to report the performance of an electroencephalogram (EEG) seizure-detector algorithm on data obtained with a wearable device (WD) in patients with focal refractory epilepsy and their experience.
When first-line medicines fall short, scientists examine the molecular mechanisms of a disease to understand why and to develop alternatives.
PMR exercises are mind-body practices that create relaxation through regular and voluntary relaxation of large muscles, with many benefits such as improving mental and physical states of stress, pain, and fatigue.
SUDEP
We aimed to evaluate an under-mattress detection tool (EMFIT®) in real-life hospital conditions, in particular its sensitivity and false alarm rate (FAR), as well as its impact on patient care.
The team is planning to use the technology to identify clinical factors that contribute to Drug Burden Index (DBI) scores, which defines the functional impact of a medicine based upon its anticholinergic and sedative properties.
SUDEP
This study provides additional evidence that lamotrigine and other sodium channel-modulating anti-seizure medications are unlikely to be associated with an increased long-term risk of SUDEP, up to 16?years post epilepsy monitoring unit admission.
The hope is that this critical analysis of available data will avert that the unjustified hype associated with the recent use of ivermectin to control COVID-19 recurs also in neurological diseases such as epilepsy.
Genetics, Pediatric Epilepsy
A team identified 69 different genes carrying somatic brain mutations, the majority of which have never previously reported in MCD.
