The objective of this study was to determine areas of consensus among an international panel of experts for the management of EEM (formerly known as Jeavons syndrome).
Tech/AI
Patients may tend to self-forecast seizures that occur in sequential groupings and that low mood and increased stress may be the result of previous seizures rather than independent premonitory symptoms.
The report concludes with a set of practical tips for building successful psychological care services within seizure settings, including the importance of having local champions, clearly defining the scope of the service, and establishing sustainable funding models.
SUDEP
What they’ve hypothesized is SUDEP patients can experience a lack of oxygen because of their severe seizures. Some begin breathing normally, but not all.
Adult-onset
Of the 23 people, seven people, or 30%, had more than one seizure while driving prior to diagnosis. For six people, or 26%, their seizure while driving was their first-ever seizure.
We analyzed trends in patients’ characteristics, outcomes, and waiting times over the last 25?years at our epilepsy surgery center situated in Central Europe to highlight possible areas of improvement in our care for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Diacomit (stiripentol) was safe and clinically effective at reducing seizures when given to infants with Dravet syndrome, ages 2 or younger.
We reviewed the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with epilepsy related to GATOR1 variants
Several new antiseizure medications have recently been introduced to the market, making it possible to better tailor the treatment of epilepsy, as well as other indications (psychiatry and pain disorders).
