Drug Resistant Epilepsy
Circulating microRNAs as Biomarkers of RESPIratory Dysfunction in Patients With Refractory epilePSY
Sudden and unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) has become a major issue for patients with epilepsy and their physicians. SUDEP is a nontraumatic and non-drowning death in patients with epilepsy, unrelated to a documented status…
