Epilepsia partialis continua as the presenting manifestation of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: A video-polygraphic clinical vignette - No abstract

Brivaracetam in Refractory Epilepsy: Mechanism, Tolerability, and Clinical Positioning - Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder and has a considerable global impact. Established treatment options remain limited, as current antiseizure medications (ASMs) often do not adequately reduce the frequency of seizures. The standard of care for individuals with epilepsy using existing ASMs often fails to meet both the expectations of clinicians and patients. We observed that many ASMs ar...

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy heterogeneity uncovered: Z-mapped imaging endophenotypes of cortical and subcortical structures and their clinical, cognitive and psychiatric features - To identify imaging endophenotypes in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy using individualized Z-maps of cortical/subcortical regions and examine their relationships with cognitive, psychiatric and epilepsy-related variables.

Phenobarbital monotherapy for convulsive seizures in rural Northwest China: a 12-year longitudinal study - CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated that convulsive seizures could be effectively controlled with PB monotherapy with mild adverse effects in rural areas in Northwest China. Early treatment response, particularly seizure freedom within the first two years, is a strong indicator of long-term remission. High baseline seizure frequency is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.
