What happens when world-renowned chefs reimagine traditional dishes as ketogenic recipes—to support people living with epilepsy? click below piped.video/@epdinternshippr…... Proudly introducing :Chef Laura Eremia
is a renowned Romanian chef and certified ketogenic metabolic therapist, celebrated for her healthy, low-carb, and sugar-free desserts. In 2022, she gained national recognition as a finalist on the Romanian cooking competition "Chefi fără limite," showcasing her creativity under pressure. Chef Eremia is also a passionate advocate for children with epilepsy and did not hesitate to join this humanitarian project Cook4Keto

Co-existing sleep disorders and epilepsy can complicate the diagnosis and management of both conditions. The overlap of sensory and motor symptoms between sleep disorders—such as restless leg syndrome (RLS), periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), and seizure-related manifestations—can make accurate diagnosis challenging, leading to potential misdiagnosis and mismanagement.

The classification of Status Epilepticus (SE) is based on four axes which are Semiology, EEG correlates, Etiology and Age. doi.org/10.1002/epd2.70033
The purpose of this review was to present definitions and classifications grounded in current evidence, aiming to establish a common language among clinicians and in studies addressing SE.

Distinguishing between status epilepticus and seizure mimics remains a common clinical challenge, often leading to unnecessary escalation of treatment. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Whenever possible, recording events and involving specialized professionals, such as neurologists or epileptologists, can improve diagnostic accuracy, while lack of response to standard therapies should prompt consideration of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.

Super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is one of the most challenging neurological emergency with high mortality. doi.org/10.1002/epd2.70053
Emerging evidence suggest that Vagal Nerve stimulation (VNS), traditionally used for drug resistant epilepsy, may offer a rescue option in selected SRSE patients.

13 Years to Reach an Epilepsy Center: Read the article in Epileptic Disorders exploring the factors contributing to these prolonged delays.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Why Are We Still Waiting? Despite major advances in epilepsy care, many patients still wait over a decade before reaching specialized centers living with uncontrolled seizures, missing opportunities for improved outcome and quality of life. To truly overcome the treatment gap, the focus must shift from simply tracking referral rates to identifying and addressing the barriers- socioeconomic, geographic, and systemic- that delay timely access to expert evaluation and treatment.

Strong evidence supports epilepsy surgery as a safe and effective treatment option. However,multiple factors, including cultural infrastructural factors, contribute to the underutilization of this treatment. Check out this article by Phabphal et al. doi.org/10.1002/epd2.70073
