Methods We performed a cross-sectional survey of the Hungarian adult population from 28th February to 8th March 2023. A non-probability quota sampling with a random walk method was used. We applied the computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) method and used a multicriteria weighting procedure to correct for bias along the main sociodemographic variables. To detect changes over time, we used chi-squared tests, and to analyze the effect of sociodemographic characteristics, we applied multivariate logistic regression. Results One thousand participants (53.1% women, mean age 48.1 +/- 16.75 years) representing Hungary's population were interviewed yielding a response rate of 80.3%. 26.3% knew someone with epilepsy (55.9% in 1994 and 51.9% in 2000), and 30.8% saw an epileptic seizure (58% in 1994 and 55.3% in 2000). Compared to the young, fewer adults and elderly people knew someone with epilepsy or had seen a seizure. Like in 1994 and 2000, 16.6% reported objection to their children's interaction with people with epilepsy; however, in the present study, significantly fewer people opposed their children marrying or working together with epileptic people, indicating a change in attitude (p < 0.0001). Rural residents had less objection to their children's interaction with people with epilepsy (p < 0.05). People with secondary education objected significantly more often than those with primary education to their children's interaction (p = 0.037), marriage to people with epilepsy (p = 0.043), or their having equal employment (p = 0.008). Higher education people were as "permissive" as those with primary education. Significance Certain parameters of familiarity and attitude markers of the Hungarian population toward epilepsy have improved. These tendencies are promising, but work is still needed; our results will hopefully evoke educational programs and campaigns against negative attitudes. Plain Language Summary The knowledge of the Hungarian population about epilepsy and their attitude toward people with epilepsy has been improved since 1994. People from rural areas have shown more acceptance for people with epilepsy. Those people who completed secondary education were significantly more prone to stigmatization than those with primary education.}, keywords = {EPILEPSY; KNOWLEDGE; KNOWLEDGE; PERCEPTION; Hungary; POPULATIONS; COUNTRIES; attitude; EXPERIENCES; STIGMA; Clinical Neurology; Beliefs; RURAL-COMMUNITY}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2470-9239}, orcid-numbers = {Biresaw, Mengesha/0000-0002-6486-3732; Vitrai, József/0000-0001-9267-806X; Miranda Corréa, Vivian/0000-0003-1677-2171; Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:34557954, title = {Fearful arousals in sleep terrors and sleep-related hypermotor epileptic seizures may involve the salience network and the acute stress response of Cannon and Selye}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34557954}, author = {Halász, Péter and Simor, Péter and Szűcs, Anna}, doi = {10.1016/j.ebr.2024.100650}, journal-iso = {EPILEPSY BEHAV REP}, journal = {EPILEPSY & BEHAVIOR REPORTS}, volume = {25}, unique-id = {34557954}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2589-9864}, orcid-numbers = {Simor, Péter/0000-0003-0695-166X; Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:34433970, title = {Parasomnias manifest different phenotypes of sleep-related behaviors in age and sex groups.

Our endeavor is to support the system epilepsy concept in this group of epilepsies, using them as models for epileptogenesis in general. The spectral continuity of the involved conditions is evidenced by several features: language impairment, the overarching presence of centrotemporal spikes and ripples (with changing electromorphology across the spectrum), the essential timely and spatial independence of interictal epileptic discharges from seizures, NREM sleep relatedness, and the existence of the intermediate-severity "atypical" forms. These epilepsies might be the consequences of a genetically determined transitory developmental failure, reflected by widespread neuropsychological symptoms originating from the perisylvian network that have distinct time and space relations from secondary epilepsy itself.

A random-effects meta-analysis model was used to estimate the Der Simonian and Laird's pooled prevalence of unfavorable public attitude and its associated factors.Nine out of the accessed 104 research papers meeting the pre-specified criteria were included in this study. The overall pooled prevalence of UPATPWE in Ethiopia is 52.06 (95% CI: 37.54, 66.59), resulting in excommunication, physical punishments, and assaults against people with epilepsy as well as frequent lack of diagnosis and proper treatment.

Few studies have addressed the changes in sleep spindle (SS) properties in this movement disorder so far. SS seem to be fundamental of both sleep architecture and memory consolidation. The aim of our comparative study was to investigate the changes of SS characteristics in PD, and reveal the relationship between SS properties and cognitive function.We investigated 20 PD patients and 18 age-matched controls. All participants underwent a 24-hour-long polygraphic EEG recording after extensive clinical investigation. We detected slow and fast SS properties automatically using individual adjusting method (IAM). The data were statistically evaluated.We found significantly lower fast spindle amplitude in PD comparing with controls. We did not find significant differences in SS densities, duration and oscillatory frequency between the groups. We detected significant positive correlation between fast SS amplitude and memory in PD, and between fast SS density and retrograde memory in controls. The total Addenbrooke's cognitive score correlated negatively with slow SS density and duration in controls.By the time clinical diagnosis of PD is established, the pathological process is already spreading. Changes in sleep macrostructure and SS properties might become a useful biomarker of the neurodegenerative process in PD. In addition, decreased fast SS amplitude might predict further cognitive deterioration and indicate early involvement of corresponding cortical area. Our study results strengthen the importance of EEG examination in PD, and the use of IAM method in SS analysis.}, keywords = {EEG; sleep spindle; sleep; Parkinson's disease; Cognitive function}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1872-7697}, pages = {220-230}, orcid-numbers = {Papp, Anikó/0000-0003-2052-9107; Bódizs, Róbert/0000-0001-5341-060X; Kamondi, Anita/0000-0001-9860-730X; Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:33082116, title = {SLEEP MEDICINE: PRACTICE, CHALLENGES AND NEW FRONTIERS}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33082116}, author = {Parrino, Liborio and Halász, Péter and Szűcs, Anna and J Thomas, Robert and Azzi, Nicoletta and Rausa, Francesco and Pizzarotti, Silvia and Zilioli, Alessandro and Misirocchi, Francesco and Mutti, Carlotta}, doi = {10.3389/fneur.2022.966659}, journal-iso = {FRONT NEUR}, journal = {FRONTIERS IN NEUROLOGY}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {33082116}, issn = {1664-2295}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1664-2295}, orcid-numbers = {Szűcs, Anna/0000-0002-9990-5787} } @article{MTMT:32858560, title = {REM sleep, REM parasomnias, REM sleep behaviour disorder}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32858560}, author = {Szűcs, Anna and Mutti, Carlotta and Papp, Anikó and Halász, Péter and Parrino, Liborio}, doi = {10.18071/isz.75.0171}, journal-iso = {IDEGGYOGY SZEMLE}, journal = {IDEGGYOGYASZATI SZEMLE / CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE}, volume = {75}, unique-id = {32858560}, issn = {0019-1442}, abstract = {Áttekintjük a REM-parasomniák irodalmát, és röviden foglalkozunk a hátterükben álló mechanizmussal.
