Understanding teachers' perspectives on students with epilepsy in Germany: A survey examining knowledge, experience, and affective, cognitive, and behavioral attitudes to inform teacher training.

The comprehensive teacher survey (N = 210 teachers), conducted in Germany, focused on a broad range of student needs (medical, instructional, and emotional), and captured teachers' knowledge about epilepsy and experiences with students with epilepsy (SWE), alongside multiple attitudes towards SWE. Results reveal gaps in teachers' understanding of appropriate responses to seizures, exemplified by 33 % believing an object should be put into the mouth during a seizure. Misconceptions about the risks of physical activity for SWE are prevalent among teachers (6.

Retrospective Pediatric Cohort Study Validates NEOS Score and Demonstrates Applicability in Children With Anti-NMDAR Encephalitis.

Background And Objectives: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (NMDARE) is the most common form of autoimmune encephalitis in children and adults. Although our understanding of the disease mechanisms has progressed, little is known about estimating patient outcomes. Therefore, the NEOS (anti-MDAR ncephalitis ne-Year Functional tatus) score was introduced as a tool to predict disease progression in NMDARE.

The Curse of Apneic Spells.

A 6-year-old girl had reduced fetal movements, numerous apneic spells, muscle hypotonia, and developmental motor delay. Her muscle biopsy tissue showed variation in myofiber diameters, small minicores by electron microscopy, and near-uniformity of type I fibers. Although no mutations were detected in RYR1, SEPN1, and DMPK genes, the RAPSN gene revealed one known mutation, p.

Epilepsy in patients with GRIN2A alterations: Genetics, neurodevelopment, epileptic phenotype and response to anticonvulsive drugs.

Objective: To delineate the genetic, neurodevelopmental and epileptic spectrum associated with GRIN2A alterations with emphasis on epilepsy treatment.

Methods: Retrospective study of 19 patients (7 females; age: 1-38 years; mean 10.1 years) with epilepsy and GRIN2A alteration.

Recovery of the precision grip in children after traumatic brain injury.

Objective: To identify quantitative parameters that are sensitive enough to detect impairments and improvements of grasping in children after traumatic brain injury (TBI) by analyzing the isometric fingertip forces of a precision grip-lift task.

Design: Follow-up and case-control study.

Setting: Tertiary pediatric trauma rehabilitation center in Germany.
