UF researchers make seizure discovery

Suncoast News staff report
February 22, 2012

The research was based on the finding that people with epilepsy have lower levels of the naturally occurring brain hormone somatostatin, and that somatostatin levels drop when people with epilepsy have seizures.

The researchers attached the gene that produces somatostatin to a harmless virus and then injected the combination into lab rats. Scientists often use viruses as gene carriers because of their ability to infiltrate cells and hijack their protein-producing systems.

The rats experienced a "dramatic" increase in somatostatin levels after the injections, according to Rabia Zafar, the lead author of the Neuroscience Letters paper and a former postdoctoral associate in Carney's lab.

But the researchers caution that this study is just a first step. Additional research is needed before the technique can be attempted in humans.

The UF investigators are particularly focused on ensuring the treatment does not cause inflammation and discovering the best way to administer it, either be injection to the brain or a less invasive intravenous infusion.

"What effect a compound is going to have partly depends on where in the seizure circuit that new compound or gene is being placed. You could put the same chemical in two places and get two different results," said Dr. Edward Bertram III, a professor of neurology at the University of Virginia, who was not involved in the UF study.

EPILEPSY ORGANIZATIONS AWARD GRANTS FOR NOVEL TECHNOLOGIES WITH NEAR-TERM PROMISE FOR EPILEPSY


Washington, D.C., December 7, 2011 — The Epilepsy Therapy Project (ETP) and the Epilepsy Foundation (EF) today announced the latest grant recipients of their New Therapy Grants Program, a unique joint venture of the two non-profit epilepsy organizations to advance clinical development and commercialization of promising epilepsy therapies. The grant awards, totaling more than $1 million in funding, will support the development of four new technologies: the EpiLert V1, to alert caregivers at the onset of an epileptic seizure event; Inferior alveolar nerve stimulation (IANS) as a new surgical implantable treatment option to reduce seizures; Triheptanoin, a synthetic edible oil that has inhibited seizures in preclinical testing; and the development of develop an auto-injectable formulation for emergency administration of diazepam to treat seizures in people with epilepsy. The grant awards were announced by the Epilepsy Therapy Project and the Epilepsy Foundation during the American Epilepsy Society (AES) 65th Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD...


The Grant Recipients:

EpiLert V1 Seizure Alert Device (BioLert, Ltd., Even Yehuda, Israel)
Novel Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation Device (NuroRestore, Inc., Mansfield, MA)
Triheptanoin as Add-on Therapy (The University of Queensland, Australia)
XeriJect Diazepam for Emergency Treatment of Seizures (Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Austin, TX)

We are very excited to invite you to kick off the holiday season with us and celebrate the launch of ETP's "Acceleration: LIVE!" with the B-52s, on Thursday evening, December 1, at the House of Blues in Boston. The B-52's never disappoint and for this very special evening they promise to deliver once again. This great night of rock 'n roll will keep you on your feet!

thanks, i appreciate that....  she does stay on her meds pretty well, especially after the last episode that scared the hell out of all of us.  she had gotten into her car to come home from work.  thankfully, she had not yet started the car.... and had a seizure.  one of her co workers found her and helped her.  she has not gone without her meds since, but i know she struggles sometimes to afford them.

she is very good about getting lots of sleep.  always has been.

and thanks for the compliment.  this has not been a year for writing...but maybe eventually.....

rTMS for Treatment of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a safe and painless method for focal brain stimulation, where small electrical currents inside the brain are induced by a powerful fluctuating magnetic field from outside the brain. Previous testing of low frequency rTMS did reduce brain excitability and suppressed seizures in some patients, but not in patients with TLE. However, the H-Coil's stronger effect penetrates into deeper brain regions.

Dr. Rotenberg and his research team hypothesize that rTMS with the H-Coil, designed to generate sufficient magnetic field strength, can safely and effectively stimulate deeper brain structures and may inhibit the electrical and neurotransmitter activity that underlies seizures in TLE. Their hypothesis is based in part on the encouraging antiepileptic effect of conventional rTMS in other types of epilepsy, and on their animal studies which showed that deeper brain stimulation by rTMS can suppress seizures in rats. The New Therapy Grant will support a clinical study of the H-Coil in children and adults with intractable TLE.
