Epilepsy

“We wish to determine whether adding ketamine to existing treatment would terminate status epilepticus in more patients than the current treatment,” said neurologist Jaideep Kapur, MD, PhD, co-director of the University of Virginia’s Brain Institute and an epileptologist (epilepsy expert) at UVA Health and the UVA School of Medicine. “Our hope is that this trial can improve treatment guidelines for patients suffering from these dangerous seizures.”

Genomic analysis of causal variants between bipolar disorder I (BD-I) and epilepsy. (A) Venn plot shows specific and shared variants. Genetic correlation (rg) was estimated via LDSC. (B) Manhattan plot of conjFDR results. Lead SNPs with the same allelic effect direction are in red; opposite directions are in black. (C) LocusZoom plots show genetic associations at the SP4 locus, with physical maps of known genes and LD defined by SNP rs9639379.

A brain scan of a neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patient reveals a tumor on the optic nerve connecting the left eye to the brain (right side of the image). Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered that an FDA-approved epilepsy drug can prevent or slow the growth of NF1-linked optic gliomas in mice, laying the groundwork for a clinical trial.
