Epilepsija je ena najpogostejših nevroloških motenj pri otrocih. Najpogosteje se zdravi s protiepileptičnimi zdravili. V primeru neobvladljive epilepsije se lahko za zdravljenje uporabi ketogeno dieto, tj. prehranski način z visokim vnosom maščob, nizkim vnosom ogljikovih hidratov in organizmu potrebnem vnosu beljakovin. Ketogena dieta je zahtevna ...

Background: Low-carbohydrate diets may have endocrine effects, although individual studies are conflicting. Therefore, a review was conducted on the effects of low- versus high-carbohydrate diets on men's testosterone and cortisol. Methods: The review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021255957). The inclusion criteria were: intervention study, heal...

Sleep disorder is common in epilepsy. With a recent rapid development in sleep medicine, it has been increasingly recognized that anti-seizure therapies, either anti-seizure medications (ASMs) or non-pharmaceutical approaches, can take direct or indirect influence on sleep in patients with epilepsy. Here, we systematically review the effect of anti...

Diabetogenic ablation of beta cells in mice triggers a regenerative response whereby surviving beta cells proliferate and euglycemia is regained. Here, we identify and characterize heterogeneity in response to beta cell ablation. Efficient beta cell elimination leading to severe hyperglycemia (>28 mmol/L), causes permanent diabetes with failed rege...

The ketogenic diet (KD) is standard-of-care to achieve myocardial glucose suppression (MGS) for assessing inflammation using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). As KD protocols remain highly variable between centres (including estimation of nutrient intake by dietary logs for adequacy of dietary preparation), we a...

Ketogenic diets and orally administered exogenous ketone supplements are strategies to increase serum ketone bodies serving as an alternative energy fuel for high energy demanding tissues, such as the brain, muscles, and the heart. The ketogenic diet is a low-carbohydrate and fat-rich diet, whereas ketone supplements are usually supplied as esters ...

Increasing evidence demonstrated that the ketogenic diet (KD) played a positive effect on cancer treatment. However, no systematic review and bibliometric analysis were conducted in this field. This study aimed to explore the current status, and reveal the potential trends and hotspots to provide a reference for future research. Publications were e...

Induction of ketosis by manipulation of nutrition intake has been proposed as an adjunctive treatment for super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE). However, the classical 4:1 ketogenic ratio may not meet the nutrition needs, specifically protein for critically ill adults. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of adults with SRSE who r...
