Translating epilepsy research into clinical practice

我们的目标是将实验室科学转化为对癫痫患者健康的真正改善。首先，呼吸减少引起的血液酸度升高和二氧化碳的增加，可能有助于癫痫发作的结束。我们的目标是开发一种安全、快速、非镇静的方法来治疗癫痫发作，使用氧气中的少量二氧化碳。其次，将糖从血液输送到大脑的遗传性问题越来越被认为是癫痫的一个原因。我们将制定一项全国性的计划来识别和治疗这些疾病

We aim to turn laboratory science into real improvements in the health of people with epilepsy. Firstly, a rise in the acidity of the blood from breathing less and a rise in carbon dioxide, may contribute to seizures finishing. We aim to develop a safe, rapid, non-sedating way to treat seizures using a small amount of carbon dioxide in oxygen. Secondly, inherited problems with transporting sugar from the blood to the brain are increasingly recognised as a cause of epilepsy. We will develop a nation-wide program to identify and treat these
