Hear how graphene technology can access and record abnormal brain activity where EEG electrodes can't! With epilepsy researcher Rob Wykes: from both UCL Hospital for Neurology & Manchester University!
Hear about the study measuring impact of the ketogenic diet upon gut microbiota & epileptic seizures - by Research Specialist Stefanie Prast-Nielsen! This is part 2 of 2.
Stefanie Prast-Nielsen from the Karolinska Institutet talks about how gut microbiota and its links to epilepsy! This is part 1 of 2.
Usha Kini: a professor in clinical genetics from Oxford University tells us about her work on the new, exciting epilepsy genetics pilot project called Genseize.
Adult epileptologist and researcher Heidi Munger Clary tells us about epilepsy patient suicide risk identification and prevention, access to help, and tools for clinicians and patients. Which are in great demand!!
Adult epileptologist Heidi Mungar Clary tells us about her cool research into the topics (presented at the ILAE EEC conference in Geneva) and how we can improve the lives of people affected by epilepsy, depression, and anxiety.
Learn how the depression and anxiety of people with epilepsy (and other neurological disorders) can be addressed in a new, unique, remote way by clinical psychologist & senior research fellow Milena Gandy.
In episode 2 with Phil Tittensor, he shares with us how and why he became an Epilepsy Consultant Nurse and some of his research projects covering risk communication, climate change, and Artificial Intelligence.
Phil Tittensor, a consultant nurse for the epilepsies, lecturer, and chair of ESNA; explains both the variety of positions and responsibilities held by an Epilepsy Specialist Nurse and their value.
EEG results are not always easy to interpret! Learn how Shilpa Reddy trains other clinicians when it comes to EEGs, epilepsy diagnoses, encouraging questions, and reaching out to the public!
Advanced midwifery practitioner Kim Morley specialises in helping people with epilepsy who want to have children. Kim explains how she has and does positively influence the lives of people affected by epilepsy when it comes to having children (or not!).
Allan Bayat of the Danish Epilepsy Center speaks of his Ph.D. in genetic epilepsies, his passion for translational medicine for the children and families affected, and future studies into the impact of modified treatments.
Hear how a Dravet gene therapy is to be used (treating the cause rather than the symptoms), the extraordinary benefits, but also the next steps and the long journey from patent - pharma - patient!
Scientists Moran Rubinstein from Tel Aviv University in Israel and Eric Krema from Universite de Montpellier in France speak of their exciting project into gene therapy for the rare genetic epilepsy Dravet Syndrome!
Epilepsy surgery isn’t an experiment, it’s a treatment! Peadiatric neurologist & epilepsy surgery specialist Luca De Palma talks about why people should be confident in epilepsy surgery.
Luca De Palma explains his pre-surgical evaluation of children being considered for epilepsy surgery, the potential risks and benefits of having surgery, and the benefits of having surgery earlier in life.
Peadiatric neurologist at Gazi University, Esra Serdaroglu, talks of the exciting treatment for some epilepsies called VNS (or vagus nerve stimulation), plus her research into VNS long-term benefits and side effects.
Katrine Johannesen from the Danish Epilepsy Center explains to us the value of genetic testing for adults with refractory epilepsy!
Who knew that a genetic issue restricting glucose absorption (to the brain) could cause an epilepsy?! Kathleen Gorman talks about genetic epilepsies - inc. GLUT1 Deficiency Disorder.
Are the "episodes" NEAD? Fainting? Behavioural issues? Michael Kentris explains how to obtain a 100% accurate diagnosis, the risks of misdiagnosis, and the "weird questions" to ask patients!
