An international team developed new genetic-based epilepsy risk scores which may lay the foundation for a more personalized method of epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.
In this month’s update, we have a very important question to ask: are you ready to take your shot at epilepsy?
CBD
Zygel was generally well-tolerated, and the safety profile was consistent with data from previous clinical studies.
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.
