Epilepsia
August 2024
Jane and John Justin Institute for Mind Health, Neurosciences Center, Cook Children's Medical Center, Fort Worth, Texas, USA.
Objective: We aimed to develop consensus for diagnosis/management of SCN8A-related disorders. Utilizing a modified Delphi process, a global cohort of experienced clinicians and caregivers provided input on diagnosis, phenotypes, treatment, and management of SCN8A-related disorders.
Methods: A Core Panel (13 clinicians, one researcher, six caregivers), divided into three subgroups (diagnosis/phenotypes, treatment, comorbidities/prognosis), performed a literature review and developed questions for the modified Delphi process.
Epilepsia
September 2023
Department of Neurology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.
Objective: There are limited data about the treatment and management of epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM). The objective of this study was to determine areas of consensus among an international panel of experts for the management of EEM (formerly known as Jeavons syndrome).
Methods: An international steering committee was convened of physicians and patients/caregivers with expertise in EEM.

Purpose: Although international guidelines exist, the clinical heterogeneity of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and the increasing availability of new and repurposed drugs (e.g., fenfluramine and cannabidiol) requires a practical guide to patient management in the clinical context.

Unlabelled: Some old antiseizure medications (ASMs) pose teratogenic risks, including major congenital malformations and neurodevelopmental delay. Therefore, the use of new ASMs in pregnancy is increasing, particularly lamotrigine and levetiracetam. This is likely due to evidence of low risk of anatomical teratogenicity for both lamotrigine and levetiracetam.

Continuous and interval monitoring of target drug concentration is of great importance for the effective and controllable therapy of diseases. In this research, the colloidal gold labeled lateral flow strip (LFS) is utilized for rapid and direct judgement of lamotrigine (LTG) concentration range, a specific medicine for epilepsy with the effective therapeutic concentration from 2.5 to 15 μg/mL in serum (corresponding to 25-150 ng/mL after 100-time dilution).
