Prediction of Post-Cardiac Arrest Seizures Using Heart Rate Variability -
CONCLUSIONS: Heart rate variability changed before post-cardiac arrest seizures, with 18 minutes before onset appearing optimal for prediction.
Clinical and neuropsychological course of young adult patient with anti-GAD-65 autoimmune encephalitis: A case report -
Objective: Among autoimmune limbic encephalitis syndromes, glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibody-associated syndromes represent a relatively rare and clinically heterogeneous subtype characterized by prominent temporal lobe involvement and diverse neurological manifestations. GAD65 is an intracellular antigen involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis, and associated autoant...
Enhancing quality of mental health service for veterans with seizures -
Psychiatric disorders are commonly identified in people with seizures (PWS). Comorbid mood, anxiety, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders are highly prevalent and not consistently recognized or treated promptly. Veterans with seizures are particularly vulnerable to neuropsychiatric comorbidities, including a higher prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. In...
Emerging role of targeted therapy in drug-resistant epilepsy in patients with glioma -
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Seizures are among the most frequent and disabling manifestations of gliomas, and in some patients remain drug-resistant despite optimal antiseizure medication and standard antitumour treatments. This review examines the clinical evidence that targeted therapies may improve seizure control in patients with glioma.
Increased detectability of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) in cerebrospinal fluid samples of dogs with peracute and acute central nervous system lesions -
INTRODUCTION: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), secreted by astrocytes and microglia after neuronal injury, is involved in neuronal regeneration and modulation of inflammatory processes. Inverse associations between ApoE and the proinflammatory mediator C-reactive protein (CRP) are described in mice, but knowledge in dogs is limited.
From brain to heart: a single-centre study of ictal and post-ictal asystole in epilepsy -
CONCLUSION: Clinicians should consider IA in patients with epilepsy presenting with unexplained syncope or sudden falls, especially when associated with recent changes in seizure semiology. A high index of suspicion is essential to enable timely diagnosis and prevent injury.
