    Abstract Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis is a life-threatening condition that usually presents with seizures, particularly in children and HIV-infected patients. Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and tuberculomas are the two forms of CNS tuberculosis that can present with seizures. Seizures usually resolve after successful treatment of the underlying infection. However, the success of the treatment is usually based on an early diagnosis. Delay in the treatment of CNS tuberculosis increases the risk of its associated complications, such as stroke. This would lead to the development of epilepsy. Early seizures may be related to meningeal irritation and cerebral edema, whereas late seizures are often associated with structural brain lesions that generally require more advanced and prolonged treatment. Risk factors associated with the development of epilepsy include young age, refractory seizures, tuberculoma, cortical involvement, epileptiform discharges, and residual lesions. Treatment of CNS tuberculosis is based on early initiation of appropriate anti-tuberculous drugs, antiseizure medications, and correction of associated predisposing factors. Finally, further research into the mechanisms of seizures and the development of epilepsy in CNS tuberculosis could help improve management of these conditions.

    Abstract Background: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency characterized by prolonged seizures. However, the incidence of first-episode SE is unclear, as estimates vary greatly among studies. Additionally, SE risk factors have been insufficiently explored. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to estimate the incidence of first-episode SE in Ontario, Canada, and estimate the associations between potential sociodemographic and health-related risk factors and first-episode SE.
    Methods: We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study using linked health administrative datasets. We included individuals who completed Canada's 2006 Census long-form questionnaire, lived in Ontario, were between 18 and 105, and had no history of SE. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratios for SE within three years associated with each potential risk factor.
    Results: The final sample included 1,301,700 participants, 140 of whom were hospitalized or had an emergency department visit for first-episode SE during follow-up (3.5 per 100,000 person-years). Older age was the only significant sociodemographic SE risk factor (HR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.33, 1.37), while health-related risk factors included alcohol or drug abuse (HR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.02, 1.08), brain tumour or cancer (HR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.12, 1.15), chronic kidney disease (HR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.29, 1.36), dementia (HR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.36, 1.48), diabetes (HR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.09, 1.12), epilepsy or seizures (HR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.01, 1.09) and stroke (HR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.05, 1.11).
    Conclusion: The estimated incidence of SE in a sample of Ontario residents was 3.5 per 100,000 person-years. Older age and several comorbid conditions were associated with higher first-episode SE risk.

    Abstract Objective: The objective was to systematically evaluate the current evidence surrounding the effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on quality of sleep and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among patients with epilepsy.
    Methods: A literature search was conducted using the Embase and MEDLINE databases. Studies were included if they involved patients with drug-resistant epilepsy treated with VNS and used validated tools to report on quality of sleep or sleep apnea. The literature search yielded 112 citations related to VNS and sleep quality, and 82 citations related to sleep apnea. Twelve articles were included in the review, of which five measured quality of sleep among patients who underwent VNS, six studies measured sleep apnea, and one study measured both outcomes.
    Results: Studies measuring quality of sleep used different methods, including sleep quality questionnaires and the percentage of sleep in each cycle. Studies also varied in patient populations, the use of control groups, and whether multiple measurements were taken for each patient. Some studies found improved sleep quality after VNS, whereas others found reductions in deep sleep stages. Additionally, mixed results in sleep quality were found when comparing patients with epilepsy who received VNS treatment versus patients with epilepsy who did not receive VNS treatment. Variables such as VNS intensity and age could potentially confound quality of sleep. Studies measuring sleep apnea consistently found increased proportions of patients diagnosed with OSA or increased sleep index scores after VNS implantation.
    Significance: Overall, the effect of VNS on quality of sleep remains unclear, as studies were very heterogeneous, although the effect on sleep apnea has consistently shown an increase in sleep apnea severity indices after VNS implantation. Future studies with consistent measures and discussions of confounding are required to determine the effect of VNS on quality of sleep, and the effect of VNS parameters should be further explored among patients who develop sleep apnea.
