Influence of psychological factors on the relationship between subjective and objective memory in adults with pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy
CONCLUSIONS: While symptoms of depression and anxiety were associated with subjective memory ability in this cohort of adults with TLE, this study suggests that mood symptoms do not fully explain the relationship between subjective and objective memory function, likely reflecting the complex and multifactorial relationships among these variables. Nevertheless, our results highlight the importance of screening for depression and anxiety symptoms and assessing patients' subjective memory complaints as part of a neuropsychological evaluation as each of these factors tap into a different aspect of the patient functioning.PMID:...

Evaluation and systematic review of guidance documents for status epilepticus
Epilepsy Behav. 2023 Dec 20;150:109555. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109555. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGuidance documents play a pivotal role in shaping the management of status epilepticus (SE). However, the methodological quality of these documents remains uncertain. In this systematic review, we comprehensively searched 12 literature and guideline databases to assess the quality of clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements related to SE management using the AGREE II methodology. Additionally, we summarized the associated recommendations. We identified a total of 14 clinical practice guidelines and 11 consen...

A community-based awareness program improves knowledge and attitudes toward epilepsy: An interventional study
CONCLUSION: The CBEAP developed and implemented in this interventional study significantly increased the knowledge of the participants about epilepsy and improved their attitudes toward epilepsy and patients with epilepsy. Large-scale implementation of such interventional programs is still needed to increase knowledge and improve attitudes toward epilepsy and patients with epilepsy.PMID:38128316 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109586 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)

Epidemiology of engagement in physical activity behaviors in people with epilepsy from National Health Interview Survey 2017
This study highlights activity disparities among PWE and the general population, indicating substantially lower activity and higher likelihood of inactivity in PWE, particularly active epilepsy.PMID:38128317 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109590 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)

Evaluating the efficacy of a ketogenic diet in managing drug resistant paediatric DEDPC5-related epilepsy
CONCLUSIONS: KD seems to be both effective and well tolerated in young patients with DEPDC5-related epilepsy, both as a monotherapy and as an adjunct to ASM. We recommend an early adoption of this therapeutic approach in this patient demographic. Our results demonstrate that the positive effects of KD treatment encompass improvements in general functioning, particularly in the context of school performance and behavior, in addition to the achievement of good seizure control.PMID:38118233 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109535 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)

Severe behavior problems in SYNGAP1-related disorder: A summary of 11 consecutive patients in a tertiary care specialty clinic
In this study, behavior problems in 11 consecutive patients with SYNGAP1-RD are described and quantified based on a behavioral screening conducted within the context of a multi-disciplinary tertiary care specialty clinic visit. The behavioral phenotype was then compared to published samples of behavior problems in ASD and other genetic cause of epilepsy occurring in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders using results from the Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community (ABC-C), an empirically derived outcome measure. We report common antecedent and consequent events surrounding problem behavior across individuals. Addition...

Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards epilepsy in morocco: A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of poor attitudes and treatment-seeking behavior was high. This socio-cultural context certainly impacts the quality of life and care of Moroccan PWE.

Is preserved consciousness during seizures associated with quality of life among patients with drug-resistant epilepsy?
This study aimed to address this gap by comparing QoL between PWE with focal aware (FA) versus impaired awareness (FIA) seizures. Sixty-nine adults with epilepsy completed the Quality of Life in Epilepsy-31 (QoLIE-31) inventory as part of their pre-surgical neuropsychological evaluation (FA: n = 26, FIA: n = 43). There was no group difference in seizure burden as defined by the proportion of comorbid focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (FA:65.4 %; FIA: 79.1 %). People with FA seizures reported lower overall QoL than people with FIA seizures; sub-scale analyses revealed that seizure worry drives this effect. There was ...
