    Abstract Cryohydrocytosis is a form of stomatocytosis characterized by the leakage of sodium and potassium from red blood cells at low temperatures, characterized by pseudohyperkalemia. Stomatin-deficient cryohydrocytosis is an extremely rare variant that only recently has been related to pathogenic variants in the SLC2A1 gene, encoding the main glucose transporter of the blood-brain barrier and red blood cells, GLUT1. It follows that GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, a rare but significant cause of metabolic epilepsy, may present with stomatin-deficient cryohydrocytosis, although this correlation has only been reported in a few instances. We present the case of a patient carrying a novel de novo SLC2A1 pathogenic variant presenting with GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, pseudohyperkalemia, and splenomegaly consistent with cryohydrocytosis. We also review the previously reported cases of stomatin-deficient cryohydrocytosis in the literature. As highlighted by our case, elevated potassium levels are a cause of concern, and GLUT1 deficiency syndrome patients are thus at risk of being subjected to unnecessary examinations; pseudohyperkalemia may be underrecognized in clinical practice.

    Abstract The most critical burden for People with Epilepsy (PwE) is represented by seizures, the unpredictability of which severely impacts quality of life. The design of real-time warning systems that can detect or even predict ictal events would enhance seizure management, leading to high benefits for PwE and their caregivers. In the past, various research works highlighted that seizure onset is anticipated by significant changes in autonomic cardiac control, which can be assessed through heart rate variability (HRV). This manuscript conducted a scoping review of the literature analyzing HRV-based methods for detecting or predicting ictal events. An initial search on the PubMed database returned 402 papers, 72 of which met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. These results suggest that seizure detection is more accurate in neonatal and pediatric patients due to more significant autonomic modifications during the ictal transitions. In addition, conventional metrics are often incapable of capturing cardiac autonomic variations and should be replaced with more advanced methodologies, considering non-linear HRV features and machine learning tools for processing them. Finally, studies investigating wearable systems for heart monitoring denoted how HRV constitutes an efficient biomarker for seizure detection in patients presenting significant alterations in autonomic cardiac control during ictal events.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic shook European healthcare systems, with unavoidable gaps in the management of patients with chronic diseases. We describe the impact of the pandemic on epilepsy care in three tertiary epilepsy centres from Spain and Italy, the most affected European countries. The three epilepsy centres, members of the European EpiCARE network, manage more than 5,700 people with epilepsy. In Bologna and Barcelona, the hospitals housing the epilepsy centres were fully converted into COVID-19 units. We describe the reorganization of the clinics and report on the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 in people with epilepsy as well as the frequency of seizures in patients admitted to the COVID units. Finally, we elaborate on critical issues regarding the second phase of the pandemic. The activities related to epilepsy care were reduced to less than 10% and were deprioritized. Discharges were expedited and elective epilepsy surgeries, including vagal nerve stimulator implantations, cancelled. Hospitalizations and EEG examinations were limited to emergencies. The outpatient visits for new patients were postponed, and follow-up visits mostly managed by telehealth. Antiseizure medication weaning plans and changes in vagal nerve stimulator settings were halted. Among the 5,700 people with epilepsy managed in our centres, only 14 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, without obvious impact on their epilepsy. None of the 2,122 patients admitted to COVID units experienced seizures among the early symptoms. Epilepsy care was negatively impacted by the pandemic, irrespective of COVID-19 epidemiology or conversion of the hospital into a COVID-19 centre. The pandemic did not silence the needs of people with epilepsy, and this must be considered in the planning of the second phase.

    Abstract MECP2 duplication syndrome (MDS) is a rare and severe neurodevelopmental disorder frequently associated with epilepsy. Different seizure types and electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns were described in patients with MDS, although it lacks a specific phenotype. We report on an adult patient with long-term epilepsy showing an evolution of the EEG pattern that progressively changed into burst suppression (BS) during sleep. As BS has not been previously reported in MDS, this report expands the neurophysiological phenotype of MDS and further suggest the possible occurrence of a longitudinal spectrum of seizure types and EEG patterns in MDS.

    Abstract New-onset epileptic seizures and status epilepticus (SE) are the most frequent neurological manifestations of non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH), an acute complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Treatment consists of the correction of the underlying metabolic disorder, whereas anti-seizure medications (ASMs) may even worsen seizures. Evidence on NKH-related seizures is currently restricted to case reports and small case-series. We conducted a systematic review of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to provide a comprehensive description of NKH-related seizures. Statistical analyses were performed to explore possible associations of glycemic and osmolarity levels with clinical variables. We selected 130 publications and 332 patients (186 males, mean age: 61.1 years). DM was newly-diagnosed in 40%. Mean glycemia and osmolarity levels at presentation were 529.7 mg/dL and 309.6 mmol/mol, respectively; 22.6% showed other neurological symptoms besides seizures. Focal motor seizures were the prominent seizure type (49.4%); non-motor focal seizures (23.2%) most commonly manifested as visual symptoms. Reflex seizures occurred in 10.5%. Brain MRI in 48.7% of cases showed focal T2 subcortical hypodensity and/or overlying cortical T2 hyperintensity with DWI restriction. ASMs were administered in 54.2% of cases, achieving seizure control in just 18.3%. Higher osmolarity levels were associated with newly-diagnosed DM (p = 0.002) and other symptoms at presentation (p < 0.001). Glycemic values were higher in patients with focal aware seizures with motor onset compared to those with focal seizures without motor onset (p = 0.0046) or focal seizures with impaired awareness (p = 0.0306). Lower glycemic values were associated with reflex seizures (p = 0.036) and ASM administration (p < 0.001). NKH-related seizures should be suspected in adults with new-onset clustering focal seizures arising from the motor or posterior cortices, even in the absence of a history of DM. Typical focal changes on brain MRI, while not pathognomonic, can drive the clinical diagnosis. Statistical associations suggest a key role of hyperglycemia in the excitability of higher-energy-demanding cortical areas.

    Abstract Volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) is increasingly proposed as a clinically reliable therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) sampling methodology. The study aimed to establish the reliability and real-life feasibility of patient self-collected capillary VAMS for TDM of antiseizure medication (ASMs), using plasma ASMs concentrations from venous blood as a reference standard. Nurses collected venous and capillary blood samples using VAMS. Afterward, persons with epilepsy (PWE) performed VAMS sampling by themselves. All samples were analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS. We performed a cross-validation study, comparing ASMs concentrations obtained by VAMS nurses and patients' self-collected versus plasma through Bland-Altman analysis and Passing-Bablok regression. We enrolled 301 PWE (M: F 42.5%:57.5%; mean age 44±16 years), treated with 13 ASMs, providing a total of 464 measurements. Statistical analysis comparing VAMS self-collected versus plasma ASMs concentrations showed a bias close to zero and slope and intercept values indicating a good agreement for CBZ, LCS, LEV, LTG, OXC, PB, and PHT, while a systematic difference between the two methods was found for VPA, PMP, TPM and ZNS. This is the first study showing the reliability and feasibility of the real-world application of PWE self-collected VAMS for most of the ASMs considered, giving a promising basis for at-home VAMS applications.
