Type, Etiology, and Duration of Epilepsy as Risk Factors for SUDEP: Further Analyses of a Population-Based Case-Control ...
Published in Neurology
We conducted a nationwide case-control study in Sweden to investigate the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in relation to epilepsy duration, epilepsy type, and etiology in combination with occurrence and frequency of tonic-clonic seizures (TCS) and nocturnal TCS. The study comprised 255 SUDEP cases and 1,148 epilepsy controls. Cl...
Clinical Reasoning: A 22-Year-Old Man With Multifocal Brain and Osseous Lesions.
Published in Neurology
The evaluation of patients with disseminated processes with CNS and osseous involvement is often challenging. A 22-year-old healthy man developed left-sided weakness, paresthesias, and neck pain over several weeks. On clinical examination, he was noted to have decreased right eye visual acuity, left-sided pyramidal weakness and numbness, and bilate...
Initiation and Duration of Breastfeeding in the Maternal Outcomes and Neurodevelopmental Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs ...
...Published in Neurology
Breastfeeding has important health benefits for both mother and child. We characterize breastfeeding initiation and duration in mothers with epilepsy relative to control mothers in a large prospective cohort. The Maternal Outcomes and Neurodevelopmental Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs study is a prospective, multicenter observational, US cohort stud...
Using 18F-AV-133 VMAT2 PET Imaging to Monitor Progressive Nigrostriatal Degeneration in Parkinson Disease.
Published in Neurology
There are limited validated biomarkers in Parkinson disease (PD) which substantially hinders the ability to monitor disease progression and consequently measure the efficacy of disease-modifying treatments. Imaging biomarkers, such as vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2) PET, enable enhanced diagnostic accuracy and detect early neurodegen...
Improving Neurology Clinical Care With Natural Language Processing Tools.
Published in Neurology
The integration of natural language processing (NLP) tools into neurology workflows has the potential to significantly enhance clinical care. However, it is important to address the limitations and risks associated with integrating this new technology. Recent advances in transformer-based NLP algorithms (e.g., GPT, BERT) could augment neurology cli...
Clinical Reasoning: A 24-Year-Old Pregnant Woman With Headache and Behavioral Change Progressing to Coma.
Published in Neurology
The broad differential diagnosis associated with progressive subacute encephalopathy can be intimidating, especially in a young, pregnant woman. In this case, a 24-year-old woman at 21 weeks of gestation presented with persistent, drug-resistant fronto-parietal headache, with subsequent progressive development of psychomotor lentification and inapp...
Common Pathways of Epileptogenesis in Patients With Epilepsy Post-Brain Injury: Findings From a Systematic Review and Me...
...Published in Neurology
Epilepsy may result from various brain injuries, including stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic), traumatic brain injury, and infections. Identifying shared common biological pathways and biomarkers of the epileptogenic process initiated by the different injuries may lead to novel targets for preventing the development of epilepsy. We systematically re...
