Development of an International Standard Set of Outcomes and Measurement Methods for Routine Practice for Infants, Children, and Adolescents with Epilepsy: The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement Consensus Recommendations.

At present, there is no internationally accepted set of core outcomes or measurement methods for epilepsy clinical practice. The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) convened an international working group of experts in epilepsy, people with epilepsy, and their representatives to develop minimum sets of standardized outcomes and outcome measurement methods for clinical practice. Using modified Delphi consensus methods with consecutive rounds of online voting over 12 months, a core set of outcomes and corresponding measurement tool packages to capture the outcomes were identified for infants, children, and adolescents with epilepsy.

Development of an International Standard Set of Outcomes and Measurement Methods for Routine Practice for Adults with Epilepsy: The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement Consensus Recommendations.

At present, there is no internationally accepted set of core outcomes or measurement methods for epilepsy clinical practice. Therefore, the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) convened an international working group of experts in epilepsy, people with epilepsy and their representatives to develop minimum sets of standardized outcomes and outcomes measurement methods for clinical practice that support patient-clinician decision-making and quality improvement. Consensus methods identified 20 core outcomes.

Clonal Hematopoiesis in Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Cancer.

Background: Cancer-related deaths for people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) are increasing due to longer life expectancies and disparately poor cancer-related outcomes. We hypothesize that advanced biological aging contributes to cancer-related morbidity and mortality for PWH and cancer. We sought to determine the impact of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) on cancer disparities in PWH.

Three-year incidence and acute setting predictors of epilepsy after neonatal and childhood arterial ischaemic stroke: a disease-based cohort study.

Unlabelled: To assess the association between clinical and MRI characteristics of arterial ischaemic stroke (AIS) and the 3-year risk of post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) in paediatric patients. Retrospective cohort study. Database from a single tertiary referral centre for paediatric stroke in Chile.

α-Tocopherol in chloroplasts: Nothing more than an antioxidant?

Among the eight forms of vitamin E, only tocopherols are essential compounds that are distributed throughout the entire plant kingdom, with α-tocopherol being the most predominant form in photosynthetic tissues. At the cellular level, α-tocopherol is of special relevance inside the chloroplast, where it eliminates singlet oxygen and modulates lipid peroxidation. This is of utmost relevance since tocopherols are the only antioxidants that counteract lipid peroxidation.
