Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of convulsive epilepsy and health-related quality of life of the population with convulsive epilepsy in rural areas of Tibet Autonomous Region in China: an initial survey.
Yuhua Zhao,Qin Zhang,Thashi Tsering,Sangwan,Xuejun Hu,Ling Liu,Hui-Fang Shang,Qin Chen,Yonghong Liu,Xuhong Yang,Wenzhi Wang,Shichuo Li,Jianzhong Wu,Josemir W. Sander,Dong Zhou +14 more
TL;DR: The prevalence rate for epilepsy was relatively lower than reported for other rural regions; however, the large treatment gap and poor QOL indicated the pressing needs for medical, financial, and social support in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between epilepsy and cysticercosis and toxocariasis: A population‐based case–control study in a slum in India
Gagandeep Singh,Jasleena Bawa,Deepinder Chinna,Anurag Chaudhary,Kavita Saggar,Manish Modi,Josemir W. Sander,Josemir W. Sander +7 more
TL;DR: To assess the association between epilepsy and exposure to the parasites, Toxocara canis and Taenia solium in a slum‐community in India, a large number of children with epilepsy are diagnosed with epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality and morbidity rates are increased in people with epilepsy: Is stress part of the equation?
TL;DR: It is argued that having seizures is psychologically stressful, and that this stress can lead to a whole range of pathophysiological changes that may trigger various physical illnesses which may reduce premature mortality and comorbidity rates in PWE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and factors associated with convulsive status epilepticus in Africans with epilepsy
Symon M. Kariuki,Angelina Kakooza-Mwesige,Ryan G. Wagner,Eddie Chengo,Steven White,Gathoni Kamuyu,Anthony K. Ngugi,Josemir W. Sander,Brian G. R. Neville,Charles R. Newton +9 more
TL;DR: CSE is common in people with ACE in Africa; most occurs with febrile illnesses, is untreated, and has focal features suggesting preventable risk factors, suggesting effective prevention and the management of infections and neurologic impairments may reduce the burden of CSE in ACE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overall and cause-specific premature mortality in epilepsy: A systematic review.
Musa Mamman Watila,Musa Mamman Watila,Salisu Abdullahi Balarabe,Olubamiwo Ojo,Mark R. Keezer,Josemir W. Sander +5 more
TL;DR: The findings support the suggestions that people with epilepsy have an increased risk of premature mortality from various causes and further work is needed to elucidate the mechanisms, to determine biomarkers for predicting those at risk, and to understand the implications of counseling and preventive strategies.
