Multi-generational mitochondrial complex V deficiency due to the recurrent ATP5F1A c.620G>A (p.Arg207His) pathogenic variant: A novel family and a review of the literature -
ATP5F1A encodes part of the catalytic core of mitochondrial complex V, which is responsible for the majority of ATP production. Mitochondrial complex V deficiency, nuclear type 4A (MC5DN4A; MIM#620358) is due to monoallelic pathogenic variants in ATP5F1A. MC5DN4A is a neonatal-onset disorder with features including growth faltering, developmental delay, epilepsy, and a biochemical phenotype ind...
Imaging fast neural circuit activity in brain and nerve with Electrical Impedance Tomography (fnEIT) : review and neurophysiological applications - Neural Engineering has become topical with widespread publicity for projects such as implanted devices for recording and intelligent stimulation of the cerebral cortex. Unfortunately, the brain has many billions of neurones, with thousands of synaptic connections, and functions with millisecond-scale graded depolarisation; there are substantial limitations in sampling this adequately, even with...
Pediatric Continuous EEG Monitoring Utilization: An 8-Year Cohort Study Using the Pediatric Health Information System Database - CONCLUSIONS: CEEG utilization has increased over time but remains variable across hospitals and indications. Comparative effectiveness approaches that leverage variation could determine optimal CEEG practices.
Creatine Deficiency Syndromes: Clinical Spectrum, Neuroimaging Features and Treatment Response - CONCLUSION: CDS should be considered in patients with unexplained neurodevelopmental delay, epilepsy and autistic features. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are associated with improved outcomes.
50 Hz Cortical stimulation increases interictal epileptiform discharges at the seizure onset zone - More than 15 million patients worldwide suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Surgical removal of the seizure onset zone (SOZ)-the brain region(s) from where seizures arise-is the best available treatment for these patients, with post-surgical outcomes depending on the successful identification and resection of the SOZ. Most commonly, SOZ mapping localizes ictal activity occurring spontane...
Association of decreased CYP2C9 function, HLA-B*40:06, and hemoglobin levels with phenytoin-induced cutaneous adverse reactions in a Southern Thai population - CONCLUSION: HLA-B alleles and CYP2C9 function were associated with PHT-cADRs. As an exploratory observation, our findings suggest that lower hemoglobin levels and higher white blood cell counts are associated with PHT-cADRs. However, the limited sample size, particularly in the case group, may have led to false-positive and -negative results. Therefore, these findings should be interpreted with...

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.
Antidepressant use during pregnancy not linked to epilepsy in children - A new study suggests that antidepressant use by mothers during the first trimester of pregnancy does not increase the chances of epilepsy and seizures in babies.
