TL;DR: Clinical features of PCDH19-related epilepsy are reviewed based on a comprehensive literature review (MEDLINE using PubMed and OvidSP vendors with appropriate keywords to incorporate recent evidence), personal practice, and experience, to find opportunities in precision therapy.

TL;DR: Cannabidiol has better antiepileptic potential than tetrahydrocannabinol and may have a novel anticonvulsant effect, but it has broad drug-drug interactions with several agents, including inducer and inhibitor of CYP3A4 or CYP2C19.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compile known significant barriers to epilepsy surgery, originating from both patient/family-related factors and physician/health system components, including individual and epilepsy characteristics which bias towards continued preferential use of poorly effective medications, as well as patient perspectives and misconceptions of surgical risks and benefits.

TL;DR: Using vignettes of real cases and the SimulConsult diagnostic decision support software, neurologists listed a differential diagnosis and workup before and after using the decision support to reduce errors and save on unnecessary testing.

TL;DR: Neuropsychiatric prognosis of SS is relatively poor with predominant deficits in the concentration, attention, visual perception, and visuospatial skills, and routine use of anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive therapies is controversial.
