Delirium in critically ill patients treated with levetiracetam or brivaracetam: a comparative study - CONCLUSION: In this cohort, LEV was independently associated with a higher risk of delirium compared to BRV, and inpatient LEV-to-BRV switch was associated with delirium resolution. Delirium was associated with prolonged ICU and hospital admissions. Prospective multicenter studies with standardized monitoring are needed.

Medication adherence and treatment gap in Sudanese children with epilepsy during armed conflict: a one-unit retrospective clinical audit - CONCLUSIONS: Medication non-adherence and treatment interruptions were highly prevalent among children with epilepsy during armed conflict. These findings highlight the vulnerability of epilepsy care to health system disruptions and underscore the need for conflict-adapted strategies to maintain access to essential antiseizure medications.

Knowledge and awareness of epilepsy management, etiologies, and comorbidities among pediatricians in Palestine - CONCLUSIONS: Palestinian pediatricians demonstrate moderate overall epilepsy knowledge but exhibit clinically meaningful gaps in recognizing psychosocial consequences and comorbidities.

Region-specific high-frequency oscillations under propofol anesthesia: comparison of epileptogenic and functional cortex - CONCLUSION: Under both NREM and PA, the rate of pathological HFOs exceeded that of physiological HFOs, except those generated in the visual cortex.

Clinical and EEG features integrated by a deep learning method to investigate treatment outcomes in epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia - OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) factors and therapeutic outcome in epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM).

Brain signal irregularity may provide clues to understanding epileptic process - Researchers propose a new method to differentiate signals from the epileptic focus from those recorded in other parts of the brain without the presence of an epileptic seizure. This technique may help detect epilepsy-induced features from these signals much quicker than conventional analysis techniques.

Breakthrough tech enables seizure localization in minutes - New research introduces a novel network analysis technology that uses minimally invasive resting state electrophysiological recordings to localize seizure onset brain regions and predict seizure outcomes in just 10 minutes.
