Observational Study of the Structural-functional Connectome in Patients With Epilepsy
Over the past decade, the concept of the brain as a complex network has extremely influenced the way regarding how the latter is studied (Bartolomei et al., 2017). The structure of both structural and functional networks within the brain has been related to optimal brain functioning (Duma et al., 2022). …
Transition From Pediatric to Adult Epilepsy Care
The goal of this observational study is to assess the preparation of the caregiver and the patient for the transition, by comparing the results of the Transition Readiness Assessment (TRAQ) questionnaire at the time of the last pediatric neuropsychiatric visit, which is then repeated at the first adult epilepsy neurology …
A Study of Detection of Paroxysmal Events Utilizing Computer Vision and Machine Learning (USF)
Increased computational power has made it possible to implement complex image recognition tasks and machine learning to be implemented in every day usage. The computer vision and machine learning based solution used in this project (Nelli) is an automatic seizure detection and reporting method that has a CE mark for …
Cognitive Impairment in Drug-resistant and Drug-responsive Focal Cryptogenic Epilepsy
This is a national monocentric (San Raffaele Hospital - OSR, Via Olgettina, 60, 20132 Milan, Italy) observational low-risk-intervention study, prospective and multiparametric (clinical, EEG, neuropsychological evaluations) study. Patients with a diagnosis of DRE and DSE will be screened to evaluate their eligibility. They will undergo clinical and cognitive assessments in …
Prevalence of Cognitive Disorders in Newly Diagnosed Epilepsy
A prospective prevalence study recorded that up to 50% of adult patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy had at least one cognitive impairment before initiation of antiepileptic drug (AED). Multiple factors exist and interact in the same patient. Cognitive impairments may affect psychiatric (loss of self-esteem, anxiety, depression) and social status …
Assessment of Adults Epidemiological Characteristics of Status Epilepticus in the French West Indies and in French Guiana
The justification of this prospective and multicenter study is based on the absence of published data concerning, status epilepticus (SE), a pathology which seems frequent in the French West Indies (FWI) and French Guiana, and whose etiological and prognostic characteristics are often mentioned or assumed but which remain to be …
Brain Representation of Acquisition in Humans of Motor-Sensory Skills
Interactions between the perceptual and motor systems are fundamental to the performance of complex motor tasks and are at the heart of the fine motor control required for the production of complex sounds such as speech production or playing a musical instrument. In such situations, the brain must learn to …
Physiological-based Pharmacokinetics Approach to Medication Exposure During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
This project focuses on anti-seizure medication (ASM) clearance and physiological factors determining blood concentrations in pregnant adult women with epilepsy and amounts of exposure to their unborn children and nursing infants.
Neural Autoantibody Prevalence in New-onset Focal Seizures of Unknown Etiology
Seizure is one of the most common symptoms in autoimmune encephalitis with neuronal surface-mediated antibodies. Interestingly, some patients may exhibit new-onset seizures as the initial manifestation without fulminant sign of encephalitis, particularly in the early stage. It is essential to recognize these patients early and to perform antibody testing, as …
Structural-functional Connectome in Drug-resistant Epilepsies and Neurodevelopmental Syndromes With Epilepsy
Recent studies have shown that the aperiodic part of the signal (neuronal avalanches) of electroencephalography (EEG) contains important information about the dynamics of neuronal networks. Indeed, this has helped to identify functionally altered areas in patients with temporal epilepsy by simply using the resting EEG signal. Furthermore, it has been …
