Identification of plasma SEMA3E as the diagnostic biomarker for human epilepsy based on integrated bioinformatics analysis - Despite advances in understanding epilepsy, challenges persist in identifying accessible and reliable biomarkers. In this study, an integrative analysis was conducted with transcriptomic data from both brain tissue and blood of epilepsy patients to identify common differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), least absolute shrinkage and sele...

Blood-brain barrier impairment as an early marker of neurodegeneration in late-onset epilepsy of unknown origin - CONCLUSIONS: LOEU patients show BBB dysfunction and early changes in CSF biomarker ratios pointing to AD pathology. Qalb increase seems to be unrelated to the pathological changes in CSF AD biomarkers. Future studies should be performed to better understand the neuropathological basis of LOEU and the risk for patients to develop a neurodegenerative disorder.

Adult epilepsy in a North Norwegian County - incidence, prevalence, clinical features, and mortality (2012-2022) - Epilepsy affects 0.5-1 % of the population and remains a significant neurological disorder. This study examines the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of epilepsy among adults in Troms County, Northern Norway, from 2012 to 2022. We focus on incidence, prevalence, diagnostic approaches, treatment outcomes, use of advanced therapies, mortality rates, and epilepsy-related deaths, including ...

Not to Wait Too Long After Failed Surgery for Intractable Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Results of Reoperation at a Tertiary Hospital - CONCLUSION: Surgical failure is still prevalent in patients with MTLE, with inadequate resection frequently serving as the primary cause.

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.
