    Join Dr. Bermeo in a conversation with Dr. Susan Arnold, and Dr. Fred Lado, as they discuss the article, "It’s Current: NAEC Provides Us With the Recipe to Build a Better Epilepsy Center". Click here to read the article. This podcast was sponsored by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC). 2023 Guidelines for Specialized Epilepsy Centers We’d also like to acknowledge Epilepsy Currents podcast editor Dr. Adriana Bermeo-Ovalle, and contributing editor Dr. Rohit Marawar, and the team at Sage. In episode 7 of the Epilepsy Currents podcast, the discussion focuses on the 2023 Guidelines for Specialized Epilepsy Centers, published by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC). Hosted by Dr. Adriana Bermeo, the episode features insights from Dr. Susan Arnold, the senior author of the executive summary of the report, and Dr. Fred Lado, president of the NAEC and the first author of the guidelines. The guidelines aim to set comprehensive standards for epilepsy care, particularly addressing the needs of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Brief Summary The 2023 NAEC guidelines for epilepsy care are designed to elevate the standards of care provided at specialized epilepsy centers. These guidelines distinguish between best practices for patient care and accreditation standards, the latter being what centers must meet to receive NAEC accreditation. Developed through an "evidence-informed consensus" process, these guidelines include contributions from a diverse panel, including neurologists, nurses, EEG technologists, social workers, neuropsychologists, patients, and caregivers. This inclusive approach ensures that the guidelines address comprehensive needs across the spectrum of epilepsy care. Key Takeaways Guideline and Accreditation Distinction: Dr. Lado clarified the difference between the NAEC's guidelines and its accreditation process. The guidelines represent consensus on best practices in epilepsy care, while accreditation standards are specific criteria that centers must meet to demonstrate adherence to these practices. This distinction helps centers focus on gradual implementation of the guidelines without immediate pressure for compliance. Inclusive Development Process: Dr. Arnold emphasized that the guidelines were developed through an evidence-informed consensus, incorporating opinions from a broad array of stakeholders, including those directly affected by epilepsy. This method helps ensure that the guidelines are comprehensive and address practical aspects of patient care. Focus on Comprehensive Care: The guidelines have expanded to cover not only inpatient and surgical care but also comprehensive outpatient services, reflecting the realities of where most epilepsy care occurs. This shift acknowledges the importance of accessibility, communication, and specialized services for various patient groups. Resource Considerations: Recognizing the resource-intensive nature of comprehensive epilepsy care, the guidelines provide a framework for centers to gradually adapt to higher standards without abrupt changes. This gradual implementation is intended to ease the burden on centers, allowing them time to secure necessary resources. Future Directions and Improvements: The guidelines are seen as a living document, with the NAEC planning more frequent updates to keep pace with advancements in epilepsy treatment and care. This adaptive approach aims to ensure that the guidelines remain relevant and practical for implementing the latest best practices in epilepsy care. Transcript Adrianna Bermeo-Ovalle, MD (Host): The main purpose that brings our community together is our desire and resolve to offer people living with epilepsy the best alternatives of diagnosis and treatment; the ones that will empower them to live their best possible life. But what does that mean in practical terms? How do we put that intention into clinical practice? The National Association of Epilepsy Centers, NAEC, has taken a careful look at this question. We are delighted to have the opportunity to discuss together the 2023 Guidelines for Specialized Epilepsy Centers that will inform epilepsy care in the present and the future.

    Epilepsy Currents - Episode 6 - " Hiding in Plain Sight—Neighborhood Versus Individual Determinants of Psychological Outcomes in Patients With Epilepsy"
    2024/06/05
    Join Dr. Bermeo in a conversation with Dr. Jarrod E. Dalton, Dr. Bruce Hermann, and Dr. Samuel Terman, as they discuss the article, "Hiding in Plain Sight—Neighborhood Versus Individual Determinants of Psychological Outcomes in Patients With Epilepsy ". Click here to read the article. This podcast was sponsored by the American Epilepsy Society through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These activities are supported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $1,500,000 with 100% funded by CDC/HHS. The contents are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official views of, nor are they an endorsement, by CDC/HHS, or the U.S. Government. We’d also like to acknowledge contributing editor Dr. Rohit Marawar, and the team at Sage. Summary The podcast features a discussion on how environmental conditions, specifically neighborhood deprivation, affect cognitive outcomes and mood in individuals with pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy. Dr. Hermann & Dr. Dalton's study found that patients living in more deprived areas exhibited significantly lower cognitive performance and increased levels of anxiety and depression compared to those in less deprived areas. Dr. Terman's commentary critically assesses these findings, stressing the importance of considering environmental factors alongside biological ones in understanding and treating epilepsy. Key Takeaways Impact of Neighborhood Deprivation: The study highlighted a strong correlation between increased neighborhood deprivation and poorer cognitive outcomes as well as higher levels of anxiety and depression among epilepsy patients. This suggests that external environmental factors play a crucial role in the health outcomes of individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy.Role of Area Deprivation Index (ADI): The ADI is utilized to quantify neighborhood deprivation, encompassing factors like income, education, and housing conditions. It provided a robust framework for analyzing the socioeconomic conditions impacting patient outcomes, underlining the relevance of broader social determinants in health disparities. Implications for Clinical Practice: These findings underscore the need for clinicians to consider the socioeconomic environment of patients when diagnosing and treating epilepsy. Addressing environmental factors could enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve quality of life for patients.Study Limitations and Future Research: Dr. Terman noted limitations such as the cross-sectional nature of the study, which complicates the ability to infer causation. He advocates for longitudinal studies to better understand how and when neighborhood factors impact patient health, potentially leading to more targeted interventions.Potential for Broader Implications: The discussion extends beyond epilepsy, suggesting that similar environmental influences could be significant across other neurological and psychiatric conditions. Future research might explore how modifications in social policy and urban planning could mitigate these health disparities. [00:00:00] Adriana Bermeo (Host): It is well known that individuals living with epilepsy are at risk of experiencing cognitive decline and psychiatric comorbidities. But did you know that the individual's home address plays a significant role in the cognitive and psychiatric outcomes of people living with temporal lobe epilepsy? [00:00:18] Welcome to episode number six of Epilepsy Currents podcast. Today, we will be talking about the role of environmental factors on cognition and mood of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. I am your host, Adriana Bermeo. I am the Senior Podcast Editor for Epilepsy Currents, the official journal of the American Epilepsy Society.

  • Epilepsy Currents - Episode 5 - "More Than Meets the Eye: Human Versus Computer in the Neuroimaging of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy"

    Epilepsy Currents - Episode 5 - "More Than Meets the Eye: Human Versus Computer in the Neuroimaging of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy"
    2024/03/29
    Join Dr. Bermeo in a conversation with Dr. Ezequiel Gleichgerrcht, Dr. Erik Kaestner, and Dr. Peter Widdess Walsh, as they discuss the article, "More Than Meets the Eye: Human Versus Computer in the Neuroimaging of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy". Click here to read the article. This podcast was sponsored by the American Epilepsy Society. We’d also like to acknowledge contributing editor Dr. Rohit Marawar, and the team at Sage Publishing. Summary This fantastic Epilepsy Currents podcast episode delves into a groundbreaking study on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in differentiating temporal lobe epilepsy from Alzheimer's disease and healthy controls using MRI-based deep learning. The study, co-authored by Dr. Ezequiel Gleichgerrcht and Dr. Erik Kaestner, demonstrated AI's potential to significantly improve the accuracy of neuroimaging analysis in epilepsy. The commentary by Dr. Peter Widdess-Walsh provided a critical examination of these findings, highlighting the practical implications for clinical practice and the limitations of current methodologies. The discussion framed AI not only as a tool for enhancing diagnostic accuracy but also as a means to uncover subtle neurobiological differences between diseases, potentially leading to more personalized treatment approaches. Key Takeaways High Diagnostic Accuracy with AI: The study highlighted showed that AI, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), could differentiate between temporal lobe epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and healthy controls with high accuracy. This demonstrates AI's capability to identify nuanced patterns in neuroimaging that may not be visible to the human eye.AI Identifies Subtle Neurological Differences: The inclusion of Alzheimer's disease as a comparative group in the study was strategic to determine if the AI was recognizing temporal lobe epilepsy based on hippocampal atrophy alone or other disease-specific patterns. The findings suggest that AI can discern epilepsy-related patterns beyond the typical markers, indicating a profound potential for AI in understanding complex neurological conditions.Impact on Clinical Practice: Dr. Widdess-Walsh's commentary underscores the importance of these findings for clinical practice. AI's superior detection rate compared to human analysis (90% versus 47%) suggests that AI could significantly augment clinicians' ability to diagnose temporal lobe epilepsy, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate interventions. Limitations and Ethical Considerations: Despite AI's impressive capabilities, the podcast discussion acknowledges limitations, including the current inability of AI systems to interpret scans holistically, consider clinical context, or replace human decision-making. These factors highlight the need for AI to be used as an adjunct tool in clinical practice, enhancing rather than replacing the expertise of healthcare professionals.Future Directions and Challenges: The episode concludes with reflections on the broader implications of AI in neurology, from predicting surgery outcomes to possibly revolutionizing epilepsy care. However, challenges such as external validation, regulatory approval, and integration into clinical workflows must be addressed to fully realize AI's potential in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.
