Sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) remains a controversial and enigmatic syndrome, particularly in children where the incidence, prevalence and risk factors may, and probably do, differ from adults. This study demonstrates (and further reinforces) the difficulties and inability of retrospective and coroner/death certificate-derived data in identifying the frequency of SUDEP in children.

The onset of childhood cancer is sudden and unexpected, and the effect on the family unit can be enormous as they embark on a major life transition. Families of children with cancer have a high level of psychosocial needs due to the many challenges they may face during their child's cancer journey. Previous research indicates that the current healthcare system does not always meet these needs.

Article Synopsis
- Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but severe complication during childbirth that can lead to rapid failure of multiple organ systems and significant maternal mortality.
- A case study involving a 31-year-old woman induced for labor revealed AFE's unpredictability, as she developed sudden fetal distress and hypoxia, leading to an emergency cesarean delivery.
- Despite the high mortality associated with AFE, both the mother and the infant survived and were doing well six months later, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment options like the "A-OK" protocol.

Lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) is a crucial electrolyte for all-solid-state thin-film batteries due to its sufficient ionic conductivity. Understanding the mechanical behavior of LiPON films is crucial for further technological development. Previous studies noted unexpected ductility and strain recovery in amorphous LiPON during sharp-ended tip indentations revealing pile-up formation and densification as the main deformation mechanisms.

Objective: Epilepsy surgery outcomes tend to be judged by the percentage in seizure reduction without considering the effect on specific seizure types, particularly tonic-clonic seizures, which produce the greatest morbidity and mortality. We assess how often focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (BTCS) stop and how often they appear de novo after epilepsy surgery.
Methods: Analysis of a prospectively maintained epilepsy surgery database between 1986 and 2022 that characterizes the burden of BTCS after resective epilepsy surgery.
