We present pharmacokinetic data during pregnancy and lactation for brivaracetam, lacosamide and perampanel based on two case studies. Patient 1 used brivaracetam as monotherapy and gave birth to twins. Patient 2 used a combination of brivaracetam, lacosamide and perampanel. In both patients, serum drug concentrations were monitored throughout the pregnancies. Drug concentrations were also analysed in umbilical cord blood at birth, in serum from the offspring and in breastmilk after five days and 3-11 weeks. There were minor changes in concentration/dose-ratios for brivaracetam and lacosamide. The mean milk/serum ratios for brivaracetam and lacosamide were 0.71 and 0.83, respectively, five days and 3-5 weeks after delivery. The perampanel serum concentration increased by up to 80% in Patient 2 during the last part of gestation. The mean milk/serum-ratio for perampanel was 0.13, unchanged from five days to five weeks after delivery. Whereas serum concentrations of brivaracetam and lacosamide remained fairly stable throughout pregnancy, perampanel concentrations seemed to steadily increase towards the end. The distribution to milk was considerable for brivaracetam and lacosamide and low for perampanel. More studies on mother-infant pairs are warranted to confirm these results in larger groups.We retrospectively analysed the clinical features and prognostic factors of surgery in children with drug-resistant epilepsy involving the Rolandic area, and the relationship between the stable compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) and good motor function outcomes postoperatively. A study was conducted on the clinical data of 91 patients with epilepsy who underwent epilepsy surgery involving the Rolandic area and IONM from November 2015 to February 2019. In total, 91 patients were included in this study. The median age at seizure onset was 1.3 years old. The median age at surgery was 4.4 years old. Twenty-seven patients (29.7%), with age at onset below three years old, had epileptic spasms. The central operculum was the most common surgical region in 52 patients (57.1%). The most common pathology was focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) in 67 patients. At the last follow-up visit, 69 patients (75.8%) were seizure-free. Interictal epileptiform discharges in the Rolandic area were associated with good seizure outcome (p=0.016). Out of 91 patients, successful IONM was performed in 88 patients (96.7%). Stable CMAP was seen in 79 of 88 patients (89.8%), and irreversible disappearance of CMAP was seen in nine patients (10.2%). New permanent motor deficit was observed in 13 of 88 patients (14.8%). There was a significant correlation between stable CMAP and good motor function outcome (p less then 0.001). This is the largest reported cohort of children with drug-resistant epilepsy involving the Rolandic area who received surgery from a single centre. Epileptic spasms were only observed in young children with age at onset below three years old. The major aetiology was FCD. The rate of seizure freedom was 75.8%. Epileptiform discharges in the Rolandic area were the main prognostic factor affecting surgical outcome. Stable CMAP can predict good motor function outcome postoperatively.Mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia and epilepsy (MOGHE) is a recently recognized, highly epileptogenic, distinct histopathological entity in drug-resistant epilepsy that primarily involves the frontal lobes. Surgical outcomes in MOGHE are variable. Although the diagnosis is based on histopathology, high-resolution MRI helps to differentiate MOGHE preoperatively from other forms of cortical malformations (i.e., mMCD II and FCD IIa). We discuss the clinical, electrographic, radiological and histopathological characteristics of MOGHE in two patients who underwent evaluation for drug-resistant epilepsy followed by electrocorticography-based resection. Both patients presented with childhood-onset refractory frontal lobe epilepsy with a high seizure burden. Interictal epileptiform discharges were widespread. check details PET abnormalities were disproportionate to the MRI findings. Cognitive impairment, persistent epileptiform discharges on post-resection electrocorticography and sub-optimal surgical outcomes suggest that MOGHE is a widespread pathology in focal epilepsy.The aim of the study was to describe the electroclinical features of visual sensitivity in patients with familial cortical myoclonic tremor and epilepsy. We searched the EEG database using the terms "familial cortical myoclonic tremor and epilepsy" and "visual sensitivity" over a seven-year period from March 2013 to April 2020 in the Xijing hospital, Xi'an, China. The inclusion criteria were demonstrable electroclinical visual sensitivity in the form of eye-opening sensitivity, eye-closure sensitivity, eyes-closed sensitivity and photosensitivity. Clinical, EEG and imaging records of patients were screened, and subsequently, detailed analysis of their data was undertaken. We enrolled six patients with visual sensitivity, five of whom suffered with rare generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Neuroimaging was negative in all cases. All patients demonstrated photosensitivity; eye-opening sensitivity associated with cortical myoclonic in one patient, eyes-closed sensitivity associated with cortical myoclonic tremor status in three patients, and eye-closure sensitivity in two patients. At the last follow-up visit, cortical myoclonic tremor and epilepsy in all patients was well controlled with first-line treatment. Visual sensitivity is therefore likely to be an important reflex trait in some patients with familial cortical myoclonic tremor and epilepsy, and should be routinely evaluated in order to better define the electroclinical features in FCMTE syndrome. [Published with video sequences]. Autistic adults have low levels of physical activity [PA], high levels of sedentary behavior [SB], and insufficient sleep. Not known is the extent to which engagement in these movement behaviors vary by sex, age, and level of independence in activities of daily living (ADLs). To characterize movement behaviors in a national sample of autistic adults by sex, age, and level of independence in ADLs. A national sample of autistic adults and caregivers of autistic adults self-reported PA, SB and sleep behaviors as well as demographic variables using an electronic survey. Levels of engagement in movement behaviors were described, and compared by sex, age (young-adult versus middle-age), and level of independence in ADLs. Data were collected on 361 autistic adults (60.3% male, n=217, m =30.82 years, SD=10.24). Overall, 44% did not meet the PA guideline; PA guideline adherence was lowest among males and those who were dependent on others in ADLs. Overall, the SB guideline was not met by 43% of the sample at weekdays and 48% at weekends.
