Abstract: Brain glucose hypometabolism is an early symptom of acquired epilepsy, its causative mechanism yet unclear. We suggest that a bidirectional positive feedback linking seizures and hypometabolism (hypometabolism induces seizures while seizures disrupt glucose metabolism) may… read more here.

Abstract: Objective: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is an unpredictable and devastating comorbidity of epilepsy that is believed to be due to cardiorespiratory failure immediately after generalized convulsive seizures. Methods: We performed cardiorespiratory monitoring of… read more here.

DOI: 10.14444/8244
Abstract: Background Patients with epilepsy have a higher risk of skeletal injuries, and some of these fractures occur in the spine during a seizure. Seizure-induced spinal fractures (SISF) are unusual injuries that typically occur in the… read more here.

Abstract: Objective Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) accounts for 20% of mortality in those with recurrent seizures. While risk factors, monitoring systems, and standard practices are in place, the pathophysiology of SUDEP is still not… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1150283
Abstract: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by hypersynchronous spontaneous recurrent seizures, and affects approximately 50 million people worldwide. Cumulative evidence has revealed that epileptogenic insult temporarily increases neurogenesis in the hippocampus; however, a fraction… read more here.
