New data provides additional evidence for use of Fycompa in partial-onset epilepsy New data from 11 abstracts, including two oral presentations, presented at the 30th International Epilepsy Congress (IEC) in Montreal, Canada provide additional data on the safety, efficacy and impact on quality...
Great advances have been made in recent years in epilepsy therapy but only a fraction of people suffering from epilepsy have thus far benefited from them, with a substantial variations in access to newer treatments. That is true for example of epilepsy surgery, where the area of the brain...
Migraines in children and adolescents occur jointly with other neurological, psychiatric or somatic diseases with above-average frequency. Epilepsy, various disorders caused by cellular ion channels malfunction (channelopathies) and multiple sclerosis deserve special mention in this regard in...
following mean? Left hippocampal and atrophy but the fornix and mimillary bodies are reported slightly smaller on the right than the left and possble activity on right aswell.
What does thes mean in non mediacal terms.
Thanks
Three studies conducted as part of Wayne State University's Systems Biology of Epilepsy Project (SBEP) could result in new types of treatment for the disease and, as a bonus, for behavioral disorders as well. The SBEP started out with funds from the President's Research Enhancement Fund and...
According to a study published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an FDA-approved anti-epileptic drug has been found to reverse memory loss in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease . The study, conducted by researchers at the Gladstone Institutes, also found that the...
According to a study published online in Nature Genetics, researchers have identified three new mutations associated with megalencephaly (enlarged brain size), cancer, autism, hydrocephalus, skin growth disorders, epilepsy, and vascular anomalies. The study, led by Seattle Children's Research...
It's always been the old wives' remedy for Epilepsy, that eating a high fat diet, low in carbs would help people reduce or prevent seizures. Now, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School have uncovered the science behind the so called miracle cure for Epilepsy. The...
The drug retigabine (trade name: Trobalt®) was approved in March 2011 as add-on therapy for adults with epileptic seizures. In an early benefit assessment pursuant to the "Act on the Reform of the Market for Medicinal Products" (AMNOG), the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health...
New research successfully reverses epilepsy-associated pathology by using a sophisticated single-cell modeling paradigm to examine abnormal cell behavior and identify the optimal modulation of channel activity. The study, published by Cell Press in the October 18th issue of Biophysical Journal...
With an apparatus dubbed 'God-Helmet' (generates weak fluctuating magnetic fields), neuro-science professor Michael Persinger showed that about 80 percent of his participants experienced a presence beside them in the room, which ranges from a simple 'sensed presence' to visions of "god"...
Glioma, one of the most deadly and common types of brain tumor, is often associated with seizures, but the origins of these seizures and effective treatments for them have been elusive. Now a team funded by the National Institutes of Health has found that human gliomas implanted in mice release...
Imagine two flat screen televisions tuned to the same channel and sitting side-by-side. From a distance, their pictures are virtually the same, however up close, you can see subtle variations in the pixels - one blurred here, another dropped out there. Suppose some of these 'bad pixels' are...
A new study found that treatment-resistant epilepsy (TRE) is common in idiopathic autism. Early age at the onset of seizures and delayed global development were associated with a higher frequency of resistance to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Full findings appear online in Epilepsia, a journal...
Douglas A. Coulter, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, received the 2010 Epilepsy Research Recognition Award for Basic Science from the American Epilepsy Society. The Society honored Dr. Coulter's pioneering contributions to epilepsy research on Monday, Dec. 6 at...
The Epilepsy Therapy Project (ETP) and the Epilepsy Foundation (EF) announced the latest grant recipients of their New Therapy Grants Program, a unique joint venture of two non-profit epilepsy organizations, to advance promising epilepsy research in clinical development. The grant awards...
