Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep, Circadian Rhythms, and Epilepsy
TL;DR: Sleep outcomes in people with epilepsy undergoing epilepsy surgery and neurostimulator implantation may provide innovative understandings into the associations between sleep and epilepsy, which may provide novel therapeutic options to improve seizure control and improve the quality of life for patients with this debilitating disorder.

Effect of sleep quality on memory, executive function, and language performance in patients with refractory focal epilepsy and controlled epilepsy versus healthy controls - A prospective study.
Kamalesh Chakravarty,Garima Shukla,Shivani Poornima,Priya Agarwal,Anupama Gupta,Afsar Mohammed,Sucharita Ray,Ravindra Mohan Pandey,Vinay Goyal,Achal Kumar Srivastava,Madhuri Behari +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that sleep disturbances, mainly shorter total sleep time, poor sleep efficiency, and prolonged sleep latencies, are associated with impaired memory and executive function in patients with refractory focal epilepsy and to a lesser extent, among those with medically controlled epilepsy.

‘In the best case seizure-free’ – Parental hopes and worries before and satisfaction after their child's epilepsy surgery
Isabelle Sylvén,Ingrid Olsson,Ingrid Olsson,Tove Hallböök,Tove Hallböök,Bertil Rydenhag,Colin Reilly,Colin Reilly +7 more
TL;DR: The vast majority of parents experienced not only positive aspects at the two-year follow-up including seizure freedom or reduction but also perceived improvements in behavior, development, and sleep, suggesting that for many, expectations for the surgery were met.

Sleep Disturbances in Children with Rolandic Epilepsy
TL;DR: Children with rolandic epilepsy exhibit alterations in sleep architecture, as well as in sleep respiratory patterns, and sleep quality should be routinely considered in the long‐term follow-up of these children.

Journal ArticleDOI
A new method for measuring daytime sleepiness: the Epworth sleepiness scale.
TL;DR: The development and use of a new scale, the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), is described, which is a simple, self-administered questionnaire which is shown to provide a measurement of the subject's general level of daytime sleepiness.

Surgical treatment of the epilepsies
TL;DR: This work aims toward a surgical cure for epilepsy - the work of Wilder Penfield and his school at the Montreal Neurologic Institute, William Feindel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical Treatment of the Epilepsies, 2nd Ed.
TL;DR: The contributors illustrate important new approaches to the assessment of human cognition in individuals with CNS disease that nonspecific behavioral descriptors such as ”word-finding difficulty” will soon be replaced by more meaningful characterizations that are theoretically motivated and therapeutically significant.
