Objective
Seizure detection is a major facet of electroencephalography (EEG) analysis in neurocritical care, epilepsy diagnosis and management, and the instantiation of novel therapies such as closed‐loop stimulation or optogenetic control of seizures. It is also of increased importance in high‐throughput, robust, and reproducible pre‐clinical research. However, seizure detectors are not widely relied...
Objective
Approximately 30% of patients with epilepsy do not experience full seizure control on their antiseizure drug (ASD) regimen. Historically, screening for novel ASDs has relied on evaluating efficacy following a single administration of a test compound in either acute electrical or chemical seizure induction. However, the use of animal models of spontaneous seizures and repeated administration...
Objective
Medication nonadherence directly contributes to poor seizure control. A lack of emphasis on correcting poor adherence and failures in patient adherence can result in unwarranted alterations to a patient's drug regimen. We have modeled nonadherent patients in an animal model of epilepsy to study how alterations to pharmacotherapy, made without consideration of a patient's adherence, result...
Objective
Nonadherence to prescribed dosing regimens is a significant problem in the treatment of pediatric and adult chronic epilepsy, and can result in severe consequences to patient outcomes. In this first‐of‐kind preclinical study, the impact of nonadherence on seizure control was studied by simulating human patterns of nonadherence in an animal epilepsy model.
Methods
In study 1, three different...
Objective
The mouse 6 Hz model of psychomotor seizures is a well‐established and commonly used preclinical model for antiseizure drug (ASD) discovery. Despite its widespread use both in the identification and differentiation of novel ASDs in mice, a corresponding assay in rats has not been developed. We established a method for 6 Hz seizure induction in rats, with seizure behaviors similar to those...
ObjectivesTo validate and translate the English version of the Neurologic Depression Disorders Inventory in Epilepsy (NDDI‐E) into Spanish as a screening instrument for major depressive episodes (MDE) for patients with epilepsy from Argentina and Uruguay.
MethodsOne hundred fifty‐five consecutive outpatients with epilepsy participated in this study. The module of MDE of the MINI International Neuropsychiatric...
