Seizures after neonatal hypoxia are difficult to treat. A recent antiepileptic safety and dose-finding study examined phenobarbital plus bumetanide, but was stopped owing to apparent futility and ...

Seizures in newborns are one of the most frequent acute neurological conditions among infants admitted to neonatal care units. A study published in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology indicates ...

A new drug that inhibits neonatal seizures in rodent models could open up new avenues for the treatment of epilepsy in human newborns. A new drug that inhibits neonatal seizures in rodent models could ...

Seizures are one of the most common symptoms of acute neurological disorders in newborns. This study aimed at evaluating predictors of epilepsy in newborns with neonatal seizures. Experimental studies ...

Researchers assessed the relationship between maternal antibiotic use and neonatal seizures in infants (>32 weeks gestation). At the AES Annual Meeting 2017, researchers from University of Colorado ...

Researchers in Norway conducted a nationwide population-based study to determine the incidence and underlying causes associated with neonatal seizures in infants born at or beyond 36 weeks of ...

Keeping newborns on antiseizure medication after acute neonatal seizures stopped did not change development outcomes or prevent epilepsy, a comparative effectiveness study showed. No difference was ...

Children with neonatal seizures had a 20.4% cumulative risk for epilepsy by age 22, whereas those without seizures had a risk of 1.15%, a new cohort study found. The risk persisted throughout ...

Contrary to prior research, a study appearing in Obstetrics & Gynecology reports no increased risk of seizures in neonates born to mothers exposed to calcium channel blockers (CCBs) in late pregnancy.
