Quantitative Electroencephalographic (qEEG) Characterisation and Biomarker Identification of Generalised Paediatric Seizure Using Spectral Features -
CONCLUSION: The study reveals a complex pattern of characteristic quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) alterations in the paediatric seizure population suggestive of significant neurophysiological implications, including alterations in arousal, attention and inhibitory control mechanisms and the features may be of some value in objective seizure assessment using EEG.
Intermittent ketogenic fasting with medium-chain triglycerides improves ataxia in COQ8A-related coenzyme Q10 deficiency: A case report - CONCLUSIONS: This case highlights the potential of ketogenic intermittent fasting as an adjunct therapy for mitochondrial ataxia. Ketogenic intermittent fasting was associated with clinically meaningful improvement of ataxia in a patient with COQ8A-related CoQ10 deficiency, suggesting that ketogenic dietary strategies may represent a promising adjunct therapeutic approach for mitochondrial atax...
The Blind Leading the Uncontrolled: How Does Seizure Frequency Improve Over Time in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy? - No abstract
Effect of ABCG2 genetic polymorphisms on the transport of anti-seizure medications in hCMEC/D3 cell lines - The ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, member 2 (ABCG2) transporter, or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), plays a crucial role in the absorption and distribution of various compounds, including anti-seizure medications (ASMs). ABCG2 genetic polymorphisms have been shown to affect the pharmacokinetics of several drugs, including anti-cancer drugs and statins. Clinical studies suggested an...
Epilepsy Phenotypic Spectrum of NUS1-Related Disorder: A Case Series - CONCLUSION: Taken together, NUS1 variants are associated with generalized epilepsy phenotype and an invariant EEG pattern of monomorphic theta activity.
Prognostic factors and a preliminary prognostic model in anti-GAD antibody-associated epilepsy - CONCLUSION: Focal seizures, TLE, and higher seizure frequency were associated with poor prognosis, whereas early diagnosis, timely treatment, and higher peripheral CD8^(+)T-cell counts were associated with favorable outcomes. TLE and seizure frequency independently predicted clinical outcomes in anti-GAD antibody-associated epilepsy. The logistic regression model effectively stratified patients...

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.
