Epigenetic Analysis of Long-term Epilepsy-Associated Tumors by Methylation-Spec...
Jesus-Ribeiro, Joana; Ribeiro, Ilda Patrícia; Pires, Luis Miguel; Rebelo, Olinda; Pereira, Ricardo; Bento, Conceição; Sales, Francisco; Santana, IsabelIntroduction: Ganglioglioma and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor represent the most common neoplasms in the group of long-term epilepsy-associated tumors. Mapping of epigenetic alterations, particularly DNA methylation, has recently been shown to offer promising perspectives in brain tumors, identifying key genes that may serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers. We aim to perform a genetic and epigenetic...
Resective Epilepsy Surgery and Respective Histopathological Diagnoses: A Retros...
Jesus-Ribeiro, Joana; Rebelo, Olinda; Bento, Conceição; Pereira, Cristina Maria Gonçalves; Robalo, Conceição; Rito, Manuel; Pereira, RicardoIntroduction: Over recent decades, brain resection for drug-resistant epilepsy has proven to be a valuable treatment option. The histopathological classification was of paramount value for patient management. The aims of this study were to characterize our resective epilepsy surgical series including the histopathological diagnoses and to understand the differences in clinical practice between two different per...

Gelastic seizures : a retrospective study in five tertiary hospital centres
Amorim, Isabel Loução de; Pereira, Cristina; Sequeira, João; Rocha, Helena; Peralta, Ana Rita; Rego, Ricardo; Bentes, Carla; Bento, ConceiçãoThis study aimed to characterize, clinically and neurophysiologically, a series of patients with gelastic seizures (GS), including both adults and children. We retrospectively collected patients with GS from epilepsy clinics of five tertiary hospital centres within a single country. Patients were selected through relatives'/caregivers' descriptions, home video and/or video-EEG monitoring. GS were identified thr...
