This team's objective was to compare epilepsy prevalence and emergency medical service (EMS) assignments for seizures in areas of different socioeconomic standings in the urban area of Gothenburg.
This review underscores the need for contextualized evidence-based clinical guidelines and a collaborative approach to treat women with epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa.
Genetics, Pediatric Epilepsy
Complex neurocognitive skills, typically acquired later in development, are the most delayed skills in youth with SCN8A?related epilepsy, according to results published in Epilepsia.
Genetics
The research team claims that their results pave the way for exploiting dCas9-based gene activation as an effective and targeted approach in Dravet syndrome and other disorders resulting from altered gene dosage.
In this article, Dr. Louis Nemzer describes how novel approaches to predicting and treating seizures are being developed thanks to advances in our understanding of the physics of the brain.
Epilepsy duration is the only known predictor of seizure-freedom following surgery that can be influenced, so this study underlines the importance of people with drug resistant epilepsy being investigated for a possible epilepsy operation as soon as possible.
Genetics
This study contributes a novel candidate gene in periventricular nodular heterotopia generation and a novel practical approach that integrates electrophysiological and genetic explorations of epilepsy.
SUDEP
A new study finds that serotonin may provide a clue.
