Various attributes impact parental seizure detection device preferences and may explain why preferences vary among users. Tailored approaches may help to meet the contrasting needs among seizure detection device users.
Early posttraumatic seizures following moderate to severe TBI were linked to poorer in-hospital and long-term outcomes, including posttraumatic epilepsy, according to an Australian registry-based cohort study published in JAMA Neurology.
Questions addressed understanding of bioequivalence, standards for generic products, experiences with substitution, and demographic data.
Temporal plus epilepsy (TPE) represents a rare type of epilepsy characterized by a complex epileptogenic zone including the temporal lobe and the close neighboring structures. We investigated whether the complete resection of temporal plus epileptogenic zone as defined through stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) might improve seizure outcome in 38 patients with TPE.
“Current technology used to capture brain activity related to epileptic seizure is decades old, and has limited our progress in developing new treatments,” says Daniel Friedman, MD, co-director of the electroencephalogram (EEG) laboratory at NYU Langone’s Comprehensive Epilepsy Center.
The findings explain why many people with epilepsy start experiencing breakthrough seizures after conception, reinforcing the need to proactively increase doses of certain antiseizure medications and closely monitor blood levels over the course of pregnancy.
