Seizure freedom has been a goal of epilepsy treatment for >25 years, but rates of seizure freedom have changed little during this time. Uncontrolled FBTCS are the greatest risk factor for SUDEP. Adjunctive cenobamate treatment is associated with rapid and sustained rates of freedom from FBTCS in drug-resistant focal epilepsy patients. Effective prescribing practices and clear communication can help patients attain seizure freedom and significantly reduce their risk of SUDEP.

AbstractCan the brain improve the retrievability of an experience after it has occurred? Systems consolidation theory proposes that item-specific cortical reactivation during post-encoding rest periods facilitates the formation of stable memory representations, a prediction supported by neural evidence in humans and animals. Such reactivation may also occur on shorter timescales, offering a potential account of classic list memory phenomena but lacking in support from neural data.

Quantification of technetium-99 in wastewater by means of automated on-line extraction chromatography – anion-exchange chromatography – inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. With more than 30 million medical applications annually, 99mTc is the most widely used radioisotope. Nevertheless, the discharge 99mTc and its radioactive daughter nuclide and nuclear isomer 99Tc through medical facilities into the aqueous environments is mostly unknown.
