Super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is an important neurological emergency associated with high mortality and morbidity and poses a heavy economic burden on patients. Ketogenic diet parenteral nutrition...
Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency associated with high mortality and morbidity. Many SE episodes cannot be quickly and effectively terminated with current medications. miRNA-Let-7i, a member ...
Post-stroke epilepsy is a common complication of ischemic stroke which adversely affects the prognosis of patients. Clinical and radiological parameters cannot adequately predict the risk. Therefore, the disco...
The lack of social support for adults with epilepsy (AWEs) is receiving increased attention, as it may result in low quality of life. This study was aimed to confirm the demographic characteristics of and clin...
Epilepsy is a paroxysmal disorder of the brain, caused by an imbalance of neuronal excitation and inhibition. Glutamate is the most important excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and plays an important rol...
The aim of this review is to (a) characterize social cognition impairments in the domains of emotion recognition (ER) and theory of mind (ToM) in patients with epilepsy and (b) to review assessment tools with ...
It has long been an interesting question of whether withdrawal seizures in epileptic patients differ from habitual seizures in terms of semiology and electrophysiology.
Whether human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) can affect mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) remains controversial. The present meta-analysis was aimed to evaluate whether HHV-6B is significantly associated with MTLE.
Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of status epilepticus (SE). The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) taurine up-regulated gene1 (Tug1) plays a well-defined role in inflammatory diseases. Howev...
This study was aimed to investigate whether patients with epilepsy (PWE) have higher depression and anxiety levels than the normal population in low-risk areas for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the no...
Sleep disturbances are frequently observed in patients with epilepsy (PWE), with adversely effects on life quality and seizure control. The study aimed to assess the gender differences in incidence and factors...
Status epilepticus (SE) is a common fatal neurological disease with high morbidity and mortality. Even if a large proportion of patients might be relieved from anti-seizure medications, sedatives and anestheti...
Anesthetics like propofol have been reported to be capable of controlling status epilepticus. However, we have observed during daily clinical work that some anesthetics can induce epileptic seizures. Therefore...
The nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is an epileptic condition characterized by little or no obvious symptoms, thus is often easily to be underrecognized, underdiagnosed or even undetected by clinicians...
