Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Nutrients"
DOI: 10.3390/nu14214457
Abstract: Ketogenic diets (KDs) are a promising alternative therapy for pediatric refractory epilepsy. Several predictors of KD responsiveness have been identified, including biochemical parameters, seizure types, and electroencephalography (EEG) examinations. We hypothesized that graph theory-based EEG… read more here.
