Researchers noted that prior studies examining veterans with epilepsy suggest this population may present with unique psychiatric and clinical features, with implications for quality of life and service utilization. However, there remains a paucity of literature assessing risk of psychiatric dysfunction in veterans with drug-resistant epilepsy.
A Champion Highlight, our newest Board Member, how to start your 2023 off right, and more in this Update.
We asked US and European neurologists to predict two-year seizure risk after antiseizure medication (ASM) withdrawal for hypothetical vignettes. We compared ASM withdrawal recommendations before versus after viewing calculated predictions, using generalized linear models.
In the present study, researchers determined the incidence of febrile seizures among SARS-CoV-2-positive children.
In support of Black History Month, we are highlighting some of the many Black individuals who are making a meaningful impact within the epilepsy community. First, we highlight the beloved Sherri Brady.
There is strong evidence that persons older than approximately 60?years incur an increasing risk of both acute symptomatic seizures and epilepsy. In wealthier countries, the incidence of epilepsy increases sharply after age 60 or 65?years.
A measure of brain activity known as causal flow can help locate the source of epilepsy seizures before they occur, according to a new study.
NeuralTree: a closed-loop neuromodulation system-on-chip that can detect and alleviate disease symptoms. Thanks to a 256-channel high-resolution sensing array and an energy-efficient machine learning processor, the system can extract and classify a broad set of biomarkers from real patient data and animal models of disease in-vivo, leading to a high degree of accuracy in symptom prediction.
Fintepla (fenfluramine) is associated with dose-dependent, clinically meaningful improvements in everyday behavioral and emotional control, as well as the ability to adapt to new situations, in preschool-aged children with Dravet syndrome.
