TLDR
There is an error in the body of the abstract and in table 1 that the polytherapy major congenital malformations (MCM) rate should read 5.56% (3.54%–8.56%) rather than 6.47% (4.31%–9.60%).
Abstract
In the article “Levetiracetam in pregnancy: Results from the UK and Ireland epilepsy and pregnancy registers” by E. Mawhinney et al. ( Neurology® 2013;80:400–405), there is an error in the body of the abstract and in table 1. The polytherapy major congenital malformations (MCM) rate should read 5.56% (3.54%–8.56%) rather than 6.47% (4.31%–9.60%). The authors regret the errors.

Comparative risk of major congenital malformations with eight different antiepileptic drugs: a prospective cohort study of the EURAP registry

Torbjörn Tomson, +135 more
- 01 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: Risks of major congenital malformation associated with lamotrigine, levetiracetam, and oxcarbazepine were within the range reported in the literature for offspring unexposed to antiepileptic drugs, and rational selection of these drugs is facilitated.

Valproate in the treatment of epilepsy in girls and women of childbearing potential

TL;DR: This document provides guidance on the use of valproate in girls and women of childbearing age from a joint Task Force of the Commission on European Affairs and the International League Against Epilepsy, following strengthened warnings from the Coordination Group for Mutual Recognition and Decentralised Procedures‐Human.
Journal ArticleDOI

Teratogenicity of antiepileptic drugs.

TL;DR: Data on the comparative teratogenicity of antiepileptic drugs is reviewed, focusing on major congenital malformations (MCMs), intrauterine growth restriction, impaired cognitive development, and behavioral adverse effects following prenatal exposure.

Multiplexed Immunoassay Panel Identifies Novel CSF Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis and Prognosis

TL;DR: A targeted proteomics approach to discover novel cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers that can augment the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of current leading CSF biomarkers (Aβ42, tau, p-tau181) and identify a novel biomarker (calbindin) with significant prognostic potential.

Proteomic analysis of the brain in Alzheimer's disease: molecular phenotype of a complex disease process.

TL;DR: Comparative proteome analysis is a method with the power to develop important new insights into pathogenic mechanisms in the dementias and provide a unique snapshot illustrating the complexity of interrelated disease mechanisms at work in a complex, multifactorial disease.
