Apr 20th, 2021 - To assess the utility of interictal magnetic and electric source imaging (MSI and ESI) using dipole clustering in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative patients with drug resistant epilepsy (DRE). We localized spikes in low-density (LD-EEG) an...

Apr 19th, 2021 - High-frequency activities (HFAs) and phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) are key neurophysiological biomarkers for studying human epilepsy. We aimed to clarify and visualize how HFAs are modulated by the phase of low-frequency bands during seizures. We...

Apr 19th, 2021 - Automating detection of Interictal Epileptiform Discharges (IEDs) in electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings can reduce the time spent on visual analysis for the diagnosis of epilepsy. Deep learning has shown potential for this purpose, but the scar...

Apr 19th, 2021 - To explore the cortical areas targeted by acute transcutaneous trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Ten patients with DRE underwent brain SPECT ...

Apr 19th, 2021 - The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is dysfunctional in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). In this regard, microvascular changes are likely present. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge on microvascular changes in epileps...

Jun 14th, 2018 - To update the 2004 American Academy of Neurology guideline for managing treatment-resistant (TR) epilepsy with second- and third-generation antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). 2004 criteria were used to systemically review literature (January 2003 to Nove...

Apr 25th, 2017 - To determine the incidence rates of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in different epilepsy populations and address the question of whether risk factors for SUDEP have been identified. Systematic review of evidence; modified Grading Reco...

Oct 18th, 2013 - Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are well-defined, mostly singular lesions present in 0.4-0.9% of the population. Epileptic seizures are the most frequent symptom in patients with CCMs and have a great impact on social function and quality ...

Aug 27th, 2013 - VNS may be considered for seizures in children, for LGS-associated seizures, and for improving mood in adults with epilepsy (Level C). VNS may be considered to have improved efficacy over time (Level C).

Jun 9th, 2009 - A committee assembled by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) reassessed the evidence related to the care of women with epilepsy (WWE) during pregnancy, including antiepileptic drug (AED) teratogenicity and adverse perinatal outcomes. It is hig...

Apr 23rd, 2021 - Gabapentin tablets, USP are indicated for: •Management of postherpetic neuralgia in adults •Adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial onset seizures, with and without secondary generalization, in adults and pediatric patients 3 years and olde...

Apr 20th, 2021 - To assess the utility of interictal magnetic and electric source imaging (MSI and ESI) using dipole clustering in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative patients with drug resistant epilepsy (DRE). We localized spikes in low-density (LD-EEG) an...

Feb 21st, 2021 - A joint task force of the American Epilepsy Society (AES) and International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) has issued an advisory to address concerns arising from a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning of cardiac risk in patients taking the ...

Dec 20th, 2020 - Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. Around the globe, the COVID-19 pandemic has placed an enormous strain on patients with epilepsy, new research shows. The pandemic also appears to ...

Dec 6th, 2020 - Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) may explain 3% of all sudden deaths in children – a prevalence rate that is at least three times greater than previously reported estimates – new research shows Dr Vicky Whittemore Just a few years ago, ...
