TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in the general population, the personality trait neuroticism is significantly correlated with almost every psychiatric disorder and migraine, and it is shown that both psychiatric and neurological disorders have robust correlations with cognitive and personality measures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a screen for de novo mutations in patients with two classical epileptic encephalopathies: infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (n = 115) was performed.

TL;DR: Lamotrigine is clinically better than carbamazepine, the standard drug treatment, for time to treatment failure outcomes and is therefore a cost-effective alternative for patients diagnosed with partial onset seizures.

TL;DR: Valproate is better tolerated than topiramate and more efficacious than lamotrigine, and should remain the drug of first choice for many patients with generalised and unclassified epilepsies, and because of known potential adverse effects of valproate during pregnancy, the benefits for seizure control in women of childbearing years should be considered.

TL;DR: Methods are described which improve upon a previously proposed method for estimating the log(HR) from survival curves and extend to life-tables.
