Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates how treating vitamin D deficiency impacts seizure frequency in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
  • The trial involved 88 patients who were split into two groups: one received vitamin D3 supplements, while the other received a placebo over a specified period.
  • Results showed no significant difference in seizure frequency reduction after the initial 3 months, but notable improvements occurred later, including a 30% median reduction in seizures and better quality of life scores for those treated with vitamin D.

Purpose: Tusamitamab ravtansine is an antibody-drug conjugate that targets carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) and delivers a cytotoxic maytansinoid payload. In a phase I dose-escalation study, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 100 mg/m every 2 weeks (Q2W). Here we report results for two alternative schedules.

Endo-lysosomes transport along microtubules and clustering in the perinuclear area are two necessary steps for microbes to activate specialized phagocyte functions. We report that RUN and FYVE domain-containing protein 3 (RUFY3) exists as two alternative isoforms distinguishable by the presence of a C-terminal FYVE domain and by their affinity for phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate on endosomal membranes. The FYVE domain-bearing isoform (iRUFY3) is preferentially expressed in primary immune cells and up-regulated upon activation by microbes and Interferons.

Objective: We aimed to describe epilepsy and EEG patterns related to vigilance states and age, in chromosome15-long-arm-duplication-syndrome (dup15q) children with epilepsy, in both duplication types: interstitial (intdup15) and isodicentric (idic15).

Methods: Clinical data and 70 EEGs of 12 patients (5 intdup15, 7 idic15), followed from 4.5 m.

VNS is an adjunctive neuromodulation therapy for patients with drug-refractory epilepsy. The antiseizure effect of VNS is thought to be related to a diffuse modulation of functional connectivity but remains to be confirmed. To investigate electroencephalographic (EEG) metrics of functional connectivity in patients with drug-refractory epilepsy treated by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), between VNS-stimulated "ON" and nonstimulated "OFF" periods and between responder (R) and nonresponder (NR) patients.
