#RNS, #DBS, #VNS - which to choose for drug resistant #epilepsy when resection/ablation isn't the best option? New analysis from the @IlaeWeb Surgical Therapies Commission in @EpilepsiaJourn. Neuromodulation is increasing the # of candidates eligible for surgery.

ILAE has launched a database of global health projects in #epilepsy in order to identify & connect professionals working in #epilepsyresearch, teaching & service internationally, including those working to reduce the global epilepsy treatment gap. https://t.co/ewcPpXfsiJ

Patients with Epilepsy have a higher cardiac readmission rate 🫀 when compared to those suffering from other neurological disease such as Multiple Sclerosis 🧠

Our ILAE report on epilepsy care during the COVID pandemic. Increased psychological distress, seizures and difficulty accessing medical care. Need to ensure ongoing support to prevent a parallel pandemic of unmet health care needs. https://t.co/HgR6gzqPf7

Missing the target—On https://t.co/SAOYBJb7e3, 53% of #COVID19 treatment trials, and 100% of vaccine trials at high risk to exclude older adults. Planning, staff training, and aging expertise would help achieve trials that are relevant and inclusive https://t.co/zyTmv920Ae

[Churl-Su Kwon MD MPH FRSPH @churlsu]

Our study lead by @sharon_inouye. Older adults who are the target pop of COVID-19, must be included in any clinical trial of treatments/vaccines. The Exclusion of Older Persons From Vaccine and Treatment Trials for COVID-19 https://t.co/d3ztmrHYms @JAMAInternalMed @JAMA_current

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

"Our findings indicate that older adults are likely to be excluded from more than 50% of #COVID19 clinical trials and 100% of vaccine trials."
"meaning there would be no or few participants over age 75."

Great session on epilepsy and neuromodulation @Englot @NANS_ION #NANS2020

[Churl-Su Kwon MD MPH FRSPH @churlsu]

Future studies using a quantitative cost-benefit framework are needed to determine the cost-effectiveness of advanced diagnostic tests (beyond MRI) in the epilepsy presurgical evaluation. @MountSinaiNeuro @NeurosurgUCSF https://t.co/hw8enY4x4C
