Objective: This study was undertaken to characterize the clinical and genetic features of patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) and generalized epilepsy compared with 22q11.

- 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.
Article Synopsis
- Hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI) affects brain areas crucial for the autonomic nervous system, and researchers aimed to find how heart rate variability (HRV) can predict neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest (CA).
- The study included 199 patients who experienced CA, focusing on the correlation between HRV markers and the severity of brain injury, along with other prognostic indicators like EEG results and pupillary reflexes.
- Findings revealed that patients with better neurological outcomes had significantly higher HRV values, particularly in very low and low frequencies, as well as in the LF/HF ratio, indicating that these HRV measurements may serve as useful predictors for recovery.
A wealth of behavioral evidence indicate that sounds with increasing intensity (i.e. appear to be looming towards the listener) are processed with increased attentional and physiological resources compared to receding sounds.
