Orrin Devinsky,Eric D. Marsh,Daniel Friedman,Elizabeth A. Thiele,Linda Laux,Joseph Sullivan,Ian Miller,Robert Flamini,Angus Wilfong,Francis Filloux,Matthew Wong,Nicole Tilton,Patricia L. Bruno,Judith Bluvstein,Julie Hedlund,Rebecca M. Kamens,Jane Maclean,Srishti Nangia,Nilika S. Singhal,Carey A Wilson,Anup D. Patel,Maria Roberta Cilio +21 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that cannabidiol might reduce seizure frequency and might have an adequate safety profile in children and young adults with highly treatment-resistant epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cannabidiol as a Potential Treatment for Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome (FIRES) in the Acute and Chronic Phases.
Jacqueline S. Gofshteyn,Angus Wilfong,Orrin Devinsky,Judith Bluvstein,Joshi Charuta,Michael A. Ciliberto,Linda Laux,Eric D. Marsh,Eric D. Marsh +8 more
TL;DR: Cannabidiol is added as a possible treatment for febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome who had not responded to antiepileptic drugs or other therapies who were given cannabadiol on emergency or expanded investigational protocols in either the acute or chronic phase of illness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zonisamide in the treatment of epilepsy
J. Lloyd Holder,Angus Wilfong +1 more
TL;DR: Zonisamide is a second-generation antiepileptic drug that has broad-spectrum efficacy, a favorable side-effect profile and simpler dosing than earlier drugs, and should be considered as an adjunctive therapeutic for a wide-range of generalized epilepsies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staged Magnetic Resonance-Guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for Hypothalamic Hamartoma: Analysis of Ablation Volumes and Morphological Considerations.
Nisha Gadgil,Sandi Lam,I-Wen Pan,Melissa A. LoPresti,Kathryn M. Wagner,Irfan Ali,Angus Wilfong,Daniel J. Curry +7 more
TL;DR: This large series of patients confirms the safety and efficacy of MRgLITT for pediatric HH and describes morphological considerations that predict success, suggesting that complete ablation of the lesion is not necessary, and that the focus should be on appropriate disconnection of the epileptogenic network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of extracellular regulated kinase and mechanistic target of rapamycin pathway in focal cortical dysplasia
Vinit V. Patil,Miguel A. Guzman,Angela N. Carter,Geetanjali Rathore,Daniel Yoshor,Daniel J. Curry,Angus Wilfong,Satish Agadi,John W. Swann,Adekunle M. Adesina,Meenakshi B. Bhattacharjee,Anne E. Anderson +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that both the ERK and mTOR pathways are dysregulated in FCD and TS; however, the signaling alterations are different for FCD I as compared to FCD II and TS.
