Registration: https://lnkd.in/eefe8zAW Details: https://lnkd.in/eBbYDyuU This year’s keynote speaker is Libby Boyce of The Cameron Boyce Foundation. Plenary sessions will explore ways to enhance early recognition to drive the prevention of epilepsy-related mortality and the state of #SUDEP innovation. Breakout sessions will feature presentations on SUDEP research models, improving risk disclosure & death certification at the state level through legislation, neurodegeneration across the life span, and the role of medical devices in #epilepsy. Hope to see you there!

Raising awareness and working to prevent epilepsy-related causes of death
Über uns
Partners Against Mortality in Epilepsy (PAME) is a powerful, growing collaboration among health care providers, clinical researchers, basic scientists, public health officials, patient advocates, caregivers, bereaved families, and people living with epilepsy. This range of stakeholders come together with a common goal of improving our understanding of and working to prevent epilepsy-related forms of mortality, including sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), status epilepticus, suicide, and accidents.

RESEARCH UPDATE: DEPDC5-related epilepsy carries an increased risk of sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy. This recent research in Neurology evaluated the occurrence and features of ictal central apnea (ICA) in patients with pathogenic sequence variants in DEPDC5.

Funding Opportunity from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke: Institutional Translational Research Training Program (T32) PAR-24-108 The purpose of the NINDS Institutional Translational Research Training (T32) Program is to equip trainees with the knowledge and skills needed to advance basic research toward clinical application and treatments of neurological disorders and stroke. These programs support students and/or postdocs conducting basic, disease-relevant research in an environment that includes 1) basic scientists and clinicians who are actively engaged in collaborative research projects, 2) neuroscience researchers with expertise in translational processes who are conducting research designed to move basic discoveries toward clinical application and 3) relationships with industry and government regulatory agencies. The initiative will support T32 programs for training predoctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and/or fellowship-stage clinicians. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/edXEgM_g?

New research from Nature Magazine entitled Brain Gray Matter Changes in Children at Risk for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy finds that "Children with epilepsy, who are at risk for Sudden Unexplained Death, show changes in brain volume that often differ in direction of change from adults at risk for SUDEP."

Please see this new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funding opportunity looking at the incidence of #epilepsy in children in the US: Few population-based epilepsy incidence studies among children in the United States exist, and these studies are limited to specific geographic areas with small sample sizes. Studies that used nationwide administrative and claims data to estimate epilepsy incidence among children were conducted more than a decade ago and failed to provide national generalizability due to their limited data sources. This NOFO will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of epilepsy incidence (any type), incident-related risk factors, and incidence disparities among the general U.S. pediatric population or subpopulations. The knowledge obtained from this study will assist health officials in shaping public health policies by allocating resources, planning for healthcare services, and implementing preventive measures. https://lnkd.in/gEGnwse5
