Objective
Individuals with epilepsy often have memory difficulties, and older adults with epilepsy are especially vulnerable, due to the additive effect of aging. The goal of this study was to assess factors that are associated with 24‐h memory retention in older adults with epilepsy.
Methods
Fifty‐five adults with epilepsy, all aged >50 years, performed a declarative memory task involving the...
Patients with epilepsy have 20‐fold risk of sudden death when compared to the general population. Uncontrolled seizures is the most consistent risk factor, and death often occurs at night or in relation to sleep. We examined seizure‐related respiratory disturbances in sleep versus wakefulness, focusing on periictal oxygen saturation. Respiratory measures were examined in 48 recorded seizures (sleep,...
We evaluated changes to sleep structure during continuous intracranial EEG (icEEG) monitoring of epilepsy patients undergoing localization of the seizure onset area.We studied 28 adult epilepsy patients who underwent icEEG monitoring for a median of 12 nights. We used a metric calculated from relative delta power (RDP) to evaluate the emergence of sleep cycles for every night of monitoring. We further...
