Executive function in functional/dissociative seizures: screening using the frontal assessment battery -
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the FAB may serve as a practical bedside screening measure for executive dysfunction in FDS. Further studies are needed to evaluate its clinical utility in differentiating FDS from epileptic disorders.
Efficacy of adjunctive Yoga Nidra in patients with functional dissociative seizures receiving structured psychoeducation (YOGA-FDS): a pilot randomised controlled trial -
CONCLUSION: Both groups demonstrated substantial clinical improvement during follow-up in seizure frequency, mood symptoms, functioning and quality of life; however, adjunctive YN did not provide measurable additional benefit over the control condition. Larger studies are needed to clarify the role of adjunctive YN in the management of functional dissociative seizures.
Neurologic sequelae of cerebral malaria and other forms of severe malaria in children -
CONCLUSION: Neurologic sequelae, particularly epilepsy, are more common in CM than other forms of severe malaria, but occur rarely in non-cerebral severe malaria.
Wnt activation during epileptogenesis prevents pathological immature dentate granule cell morphological changes in animal models of unilateral and bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy -
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) most commonly presents clinically with unilateral or bilateral hippocampal seizure onsets. Antiseizure medications are often ineffective, and epilepsy surgery outcomes are variable. TLE often occurs after exposure to risk factors; this latent period provides the opportunity for preventative treatments, however, there are currently no clinically approved anti-epilept...
Brivaracetam as viable monotherapy option for focal and generalized epilepsy -
CONCLUSION: In this retrospective real-world cohort, BRV monotherapy was associated with favorable short-term seizure outcomes and good tolerability. Particularly favorable outcomes were observed after conversion from LEV. Although long-term retention decreased over time, a substantial proportion of patients continued to benefit from BRV monotherapy over a two-year period, despite BRV being the...
