Navigating the road ahead: Assessing international guidelines for commercial drivers with epileptic seizures.
Epilepsy Behav
January 2025
Royal Perth Hospital, Victoria Square, Perth, WA 6000, Australia; The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia.
Objectives: To evaluate the availability and consistency of commercial driving eligibility criteria for patients with seizures.
Methods: We systematically evaluated commercial driver's license regulations for patients with epilepsy, first acute symptomatic seizure and first unprovoked seizure in different countries. Government driving authority websites and published guidelines were accessed and if not available, local neurologists were contacted.
Preoperative Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Neurite Dispersion and Density Imaging in Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-Mutant Grade 2 and 3 Gliomas: Definition of Tumor-Related Epilepsy and Predictive Factors of Seizure Outcomes Based on a Single-Center Retrospective Case Series.
Neurosurgery
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Milan, Italy.
Background And Objectives: Understanding and managing seizure activity is crucial in neuro-oncology, especially for highly epileptogenic lesions like isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant gliomas. Advanced MRI techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) have been used to describe microstructural changes associated with epilepsy. However, their role in tumor-related epilepsy (TRE) remains unclear.

Epilepsia
January 2025
Atalanta Therapeutics, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Objective: Gain-of-function variants in the KCNT1 gene, which encodes a sodium-activated potassium ion channel, drive severe early onset developmental epileptic encephalopathies including epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures and sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy. No therapy provides more than sporadic or incremental improvement. Here, we report suppression of seizures in a genetic mouse model of KCNT1 epilepsy by reducing Kcnt1 transcript with divalent small interfering RNA (siRNA), an emerging variant of oligonucleotide technology developed for the central nervous system.

Am J Emerg Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Michigan, 1500 E. Medical Center Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, United States of America. Electronic address:
Bacterial meningitis is an increasingly rare disease that carries significant morbidity and mortality. We describe the case of a 38-year-old male with a past medical history of pituitary macroadenoma with prior endonasal surgeries on prednisone therapy daily for resultant hypopituitarism and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy on lamotrigine daily who was transferred to an academic tertiary emergency department due to concern for developing pituitary apoplexy. At the outside emergency department, the patient presented complaining of sudden onset severe headache.
