Employment status and seizure control, but not location of surgery, significantly predicted quality of life.
Complete resection of the MRI lesion is the most important factor to maintain long-term seizure freedom.
Safe and effective antiepileptic drugs as alternatives to valproate are the need of the hour.
Status epilepticus can be a neurological manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection. Systemic inflammatory syndrome due to cytokine release could play a role in COVID-19-related SE.
Some 134 proteins were significantly changed in both the hippocampus and frontal cortex, the front third of the brain, which is also responsible for controlling thought and body movements.
This study demonstrates the utility of deep learning for patient-specific seizure detection in EEG data.
Pediatric Epilepsy
All patients were dependent on caregivers for daily living abilities. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) has life-long persistence with poor outcomes, even during adulthood.
Clinicians should screen patients' mental health before the outbreak to provide care, reduce the burden, and prevent social isolation in people with epilepsy.
Poor seizure control was associated with social status and may contribute to negative socioeconomic consequences associated with with idiopathic/genetic generalized epilepsy.
