Title: Commentary on IL-1β associations with posttraumatic epilepsy development: A genetics and biomarker cohort study.
Authors: Rotenberg, Alexander
Source: Epilepsia (Series 4). Jul2015, Vol. 56 Issue 7, p989-990. 2p.
Subjects: Complications of brain injuries, Epilepsy risk factors, Diamond, M. L., Cerebrospinal fluid, Biomarkers
Abstract: The author reflects on the study by M. L. Diamond and colleagues on the correlation between IL-1β and posttraumatic epilepsy development. The study reportedly involved traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and examined the theory that IL-1β concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum predicts posttraumatic epilepsy. Other topics include the use of gene and protein biomarkers to determine outcomes after TBI.
