Characteristics of electroencephalographic changes after hemispheric disconnection surgery in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy -
CONCLUSIONS: Following hemispheric disconnection, dynamic alterations are observed in bilateral EEG recordings. A postoperative burst-suppression-like pattern is commonly observed on the ipsilateral side. In this small-sample study, no significant association was found between postoperative EEG characteristics and prognosis.
Chitosan-based hydrogel for intranasal drug delivery; current advances in the brain diseases treatment -
Neurodegenerative diseases represent a growing health concern that is projected to become more prevalent and affect more people in the upcoming decades. One of the most complicated components of recent neurodegenerative disease therapies is the penetration and delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system (CNS), which are hindered via the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In response, innovat...
Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome: Duration of Therapeutic Coma and Treatment Intensity Correlate With Poorer Functional Outcome -
CONCLUSIONS: In our analysis, increased acute treatment intensity and longer durations of TC were associated with worse functional outcomes. These observational associations are likely confounded by underlying disease severity. In the absence of proven causal therapies, the data might be compatible with spontaneous reduction of seizure activity over time in some patients and highlight the need ...
The evolution of epilepsy surgery over 30 years: A retrospective review of a level 4 comprehensive pediatric epilepsy program -
CONCLUSION: Over three decades, pediatric epilepsy surgical volume increased, surgery shifted towards older patients, with reduced extensive resection and reduced reliance on invasive monitoring. Despite these changes, seizure freedom rates remained stable, with improved near-complete seizure control in the later era.
Diagnostic utility of bilateral stereoelectroencephalography sampling in temporal lobe epilepsy -
CONCLUSIONS: Bilateral SEEG provides clinically meaningful information in both unilateral and bilateral TLE, uncovering contralateral involvement in presumed unilateral cases and confirming unilateral foci in nearly half of presumed bilateral cases. Although SEEG is not necessary for all patients with TLE-HS and concordant studies, when it is indicated, bilateral sampling might be important to ...
Thalamic neuromodulation for pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy: a case series evaluating deep brain stimulation and responsive neurostimulation -
CONCLUSIONS: Thalamic neuromodulation using DBS and RNS was safe and well tolerated in pediatric patients with DRE, including multifocal and generalized seizure onsets. Meaningful seizure reduction was observed across a range of epilepsy phenotypes, with a trend toward greater benefit in the DBS group. These findings support thalamic neuromodulation as a promising treatment option in children w...
