Send us a textThis week's episode is with Mary Anne Meskis, a founding member and the Executive Director of the Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF)—a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and funding research for Dravet syndrome.Dravet syndrome is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that begins in early childhood, typically caused by a mutation in the SCN1A gene. It leads to frequent and prolonged seizures, developmental delays, and other lifelong challenges, including changes in appetite, mobility, sleep, and growth. While anti-seizure medications are used to manage symptoms, seizure control remains a significant challenge, which we dive into in this episode.Mary Anne and I discuss the critical gap in Dravet syndrome research and how DSF bridges it by increasing research funding and supporting initiatives like the Dravet Genome Study. She also shares how her team simplifies complex scientific information to make it more accessible to families and the broader community. Additionally, we explore DSF's new legislative advocacy program and her vision for the organization's future.Make sure to subscribe to The Neurological Disorder Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts!Follow me on Instagram: @neurologicaldisorderpodcastEmail me at: neurologicaldisorderpodcast@gmail.comDSF Instagram: @dravetsyndromefoundationHelpful resources:https://dravetfoundation.org/https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/dravet-syndrome

What is Dravet Syndrome? Dravet syndrome, also known as Severe Myoclonic Epilepsy of Infancy (SMEI), is a rare form of intractable epilepsy that begins in infancy and proceeds with accumulating morbidity that significantly impacts individuals throughout their lifetime. It has an estimated incidence rate of 1:15,700 Enter the Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF). DSF is a nonprofit organization that acts as a convener of the Dravet syndrome community. Since their founding in 2009, they have engaged and educated all of their community stakeholders – patient families, clinicians, researchers, industry partners, and others – to envision and fight for better treatments, and one day a cure for Dravet syndrome. They believe that efforts to improve the quality of life for those affected by Dravet syndrome must include the patient's voice and experience to help guide outcomes. DSF is proud to be the largest non-governmental funder of Dravet syndrome research, worldwide. DSF's steadfast commitment to advancing Dravet syndrome research, as well as our community's engagement throughout the clinical trial and drug development process, has helped enable three new treatments for the disease, with several additional clinical trials already underway or soon starting. We have made incredible progress, including the approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Diacomit® (stiripentol) Epidolex® (cannabidiol), and Fintepla® (fenfluramine).

In this episode of Money on My Mind, I'm diving deep into a topic that's close to my heart: investing for our children. I share the strategies my wife and I use to set our daughters up for financial success, but this isn't just about numbers. It's about the principles and values we're instilling in them to ensure they use wealth responsibly and make an impact. I tackle the common misconception that investing for your kids leads to them being “spoiled” and lay out the steps we take to ensure they grow up with a strong understanding of financial responsibility and giving back. We explore the essential accounts and investments we're leveraging—from brokerage accounts to Roth IRAs—and why creating a system for generational wealth goes beyond just putting money in their hands. Whether it's setting up a trust with intentional stipulations or teaching the importance of financial literacy, this episode is a call to rethink how we approach wealth for the next generation. Episode Highlights [0:00] - Introduction [0:41] - Why I believe in raising “trust fund babies” with responsibility [2:07] - Our mission to raise $1 million for Dravet syndrome in honor of my daughter [4:31] - Debunking the myth: Money doesn't spoil kids; lack of values does [8:14] - Building generational wealth and why I'm the “first millionaire” in my family [10:05] - Mastering habits and the power of financial literacy for kids [17:32] - Trusts and stipulations: Setting financial expectations for our daughters [19:17] - How we invest for each of our daughters with a mix of accounts and goals [24:20] - Creating a positive financial mindset for our children and why it matters 5 Key Takeaways 1. Money Doesn't Spoil; Values Do – Wealth alone doesn't lead to entitlement; it's the values we instill that matter. Teaching responsibility and gratitude is essential in raising well-rounded, financially empowered kids. 2. Generational Wealth Starts with Habits – Creating a financial system and healthy money habits for your kids can set them up for a successful future and help them manage wealth wisely. 3. Leverage a Mix of Accounts – From brokerage accounts to Roth IRAs and 529 plans, choosing the right accounts can maximize growth while ensuring funds align with your goals for your child. 4. Intentional Gifting Through Trusts – Using trusts with specific stipulations is an effective way to provide for your children without fostering dependency or entitlement, helping them value their inheritance. 5. Positive Financial Mindset is Key – Cultivating a positive attitude toward money and avoiding stress around finances can empower your kids to approach money confidently and generously.

Tuesday, October 22, 2024 First Principles Genetic disease means that gene broken since conception. Novel medicines are possible ways to fix the gene - Genetic Therapies (ASO &/or AAV), this is recent, before now, kids with these diseases were a “go home and love them” situation. These are delivered via spinal tap or directly to the brain in leading medical centers. First though, regulators must approve. Our job Develop medicines or get industry to - This is happening see Pipeline Get regulators to approve trials Get medical centers up to speed on SYNGAP1-Related Disorders (SRD) What we are building on CHOP ENDD funded externally (see #S10e92) and replicating what was built for STXBP1, check last week's webinar https://curesyngap1.org/resources/webinars/93-endd-chop-2024-syngap1/ Rare-X platform for PRO collection Regulatory pathway being made clearer every day by Stoke (Dravet), Praxis (SCN2A), Ionis (many) all of whom are working on SYNGAP1 as well. What we are asking for We need to raise at least $500k (3rd site), preferably $1.13M (ProMMiS) Make your largest gift ever to SRF Fundraise with friends and family ACES is now ProMMiS, who knew ACE meant Adverse Childhood Event, not us. Key slides: S1 Path to Treatment | 2024 (09.27.24) 1. Why Now? Why is it time to go from bench to bedside (research to clinical)? At least 10 companies on our pipeline not to mention multiple small molecule efforts We have limited resources – so the focus has to transition, clinical funding first. CHOP Gift is 1 year down… 2. Why NHS?Understand SYNGAP1 better, go beyond Vlaskamp 2019 and Wiltrout 2024, see #S10e105 FYI at CHOP, as I shared in #S10e151, at year 1, we are at – 86 (Visits) + 10 (new scheduled) + 19 (2nd) + 4 (3rd) + 22 (follow up) Learn what to measure in clinical trials for SRD, remember our seizures are challenging Ideally we develop a Synthetic Control Arm if we use GCP Why top shelf? We need institutions the FDA will take seriously and our children are very complex requiring experienced clinicians. 3. Why Multidisciplinary. Neuro, Psych, Genetics, PT, ST, OT, GI, Sleep, ENT, Ortho. Beyond the sheer burden of getting our kids out and about for multiple appointments the coordination by a parent is almost impossible. 4. Why Multisite/3 sites?Replicable/scalable required by regulators Accessibility (not primary reason) Establish more locations where trials will be managed Laying a foundation for a national self-sustaining network 3 is the minimum, look at STARR or Angelman, both had/ve 4. 5. How and why so fast? Because we can. Time is Brain. Following a well trodden path SMA, Rett, Angelman, Dravet, but we are moving FASTER. 6. Does the industry really care? We are next there are so so many behind us, eager to take the resources we have access to today. Market size (Per our Census 425 US/1500 global is tip of iceberg) Multiple players reassuring each other Relatively strong amount of scientific and clinical research Haploinsufficiency (like Dravet – STOKE) – so relatively easy 7. Expensive? No. Clinical Research is more expensive than basic scientific research. Leveraging CHOP and Rare-X, setting up required networks to prepare for clinical trials. It's time. 8. Why Bother/Help? Now is the time for SYNGAP1, we miss it at our peril. Sure, once in these places we will still see our patients, but the study, the support and the focus may pass. Our kids don't die, regardless of patient age, what we are doing can change their future and that of their loved ones and caregivers. If not us, then who? It is a rare exception when a non-family member gives a gift, and it is always because a family member asked. We must ask. 9. What can I do? Donate to, share, join our Coast2Coast Clinics Challenge – two SYNGAP1 Squads in West and East – it's critical $500k goal by end of 2024; more than $1M needed just for the SYNGAP1ProMMiS.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome are two rare, developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Drug developers have sought to address epilepsies by altering the electrical activity in the brain. Ovid therapeutics, though, has taken a novel approach with its experimental therapy soticlestat by seeking to restore homeostasis to the brain. We spoke to Meg Alexander, chief strategy officer of Ovid, about rare epilepsies, how the company's experimental therapy soticlestat works, and the potential to apply the approach to other CNS conditions. Since recording this episode, there have been new results on soticlestat released. Ovid's partner Takeda this week reported that soticlestat narrowly missed its primary endpoint in its phase 3 Dravet syndrome study while showing clinically meaningful and nominally significant effects in multiple key secondary efficacy endpoints. It also missed its primary endpoint of reduction in major motor drop seizures as compared to placebo in a separate phase 3 study in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Takeda said it will be engaging with regulators to determine the best path forward.
Encoded Therapeutics is developing gene therapies that can target any cell type that has a unique genetic profile. The company's lead experimental therapy is in development for the epileptic encephalopathy Dravet syndrome, although the company expects to pursue metabolic, liver, and cardiovascular conditions in the future. We spoke to Salvador Rico, chief medical officer of Encoded Therapeutics, about its lead program in Dravet syndrome, its efforts to develop gene therapies with optimized regulatory elements to target specific organs, and why he believes its approach is a point of differentiation for the company.
A partir de maio, a rede pública de saúde do Estado de São Paulo vai fornecer gratuitamente medicamentos à base de canabidiol (CBD) para pacientes das síndromes de Dravet e Lennox-Gasteau, e de esclerose tuberosa. Será a primeira vez que o Sistema Único de Saúde inclui a substância no seu rol de tratamentos – o ato mais recente de um movimento que tomou impulso em 2015 e em 2019, quando, respectivamente, a Anvisa liberou a importação e a comercialização em farmácia de produtos feitos a partir do CBD. Neste episódio, Julia Duailibi entrevista o psiquiatra e neurocientista José Alexandre Crippa, professor da Faculdade de Medicina da USP Ribeirão Preto e um dos principais pesquisadores em canabidiol do país. Ele diferencia o CBD do THC - substância com ação psicoativa que “dá barato” - e explica por que ele, o canabidiol, é tão importante para o tratamento de algumas condições neurológicas.

Hello Brave Friends! In this story episode, #172, we enter the world of a parent living on unstable ground. An emotional state riddled with fault lines, shifting plates and the possibility that even a fun outing could cause an earthquake of a seizure in her child's body.Erin Rusling's daughter was born with Dravet Syndrome, a rare and severe form of Epilepsy that causes prolonged seizures. Almost two, at the time of this story, Erin's daughter had already had many seizures and had come out of them with minimal measures, but the BIG ONE was never impossible and always lurking. Welcome to today's story episode: Walking on Eggshells with Epilepsy.Erin is a wife, mom of 2 human children and 3 fur children. She loves making pancakes on Sunday mornings, planning family vacations and listening to true crime podcasts. She stays busy balancing work, family, Dravet medical research and looking for her cold cup of coffee that she knows is around here somewhere.

Dravet syndrome is a rare, severe epilepsy caused by changes in a gene called SCN1A. The changes cause the gene to stop functioning normally. But not everyone with this type of genetic change develops Dravet syndrome, and people with Dravet also have a wide range of clinical characteristics, which can't be fully explained by these changes. What else is going on? We spoke with Dr. Sanjay Sisodiya about a recent publication on genomic influences in Dravet syndrome.This episode is based on a recent publication in the journal Brain:Widespread genomic influences on phenotype in Dravet syndrome, a ‘monogenic' conditionDravet syndrome is a rare severe epilepsy typically caused by loss-of-function SCN1A variants. Despite a recognizable core phenotype, Dravet syndrome also has phenotypic heterogeneity, which cannot be explained by clinical factors or SCN1A variants. This relatively small study (34 adults) found that additional genomic variation contributes to the diversity of phenotypes found in Dravet syndromes. The authors suggest that the SCN1A variant may need to act against a "broadly compromised genomic background" to generate the full Dravet syndrome phenotype, and that genomic resilience may contribute to a reduction in mortality risk among adults with Dravet syndrome.

El venezolano Rafael García superó el sábado su reto de correr durante 25 horas seguidas en Goald Coast, Australia, recorriendo 133 kilómetros para recaudar fondos por la investigación de tratamientos contra la epilepsia y apoyar a las familias que, como la suya, tienen algún miembro con esta condición. Su hija de tres años, Sofi, quien padece el síndrome de Dravet, fue la inspiración que le motivó en este desafío organizado por “Walk for Epilepsy”. Rafael relata cómo un desconocido donó una sustanciosa cantidad al verle correr en la localidad de Miami. Escucha la historia.
Jim Brennan of McKelvey Homes talks with Tom Ackerman about the fundraiser 'Dance for Dravet'. Plus Tom goes through the MLB playoff picture.
This week, Lauren interviews the Budgetdog himself, Brennan Schlagbaum. Brennan talks about parenthood and gets into what it's like to parent a special needs child. Brennan and his wife Erin have an almost-2-year-old with Dravet syndrome. One theme woven throughout is the importance of having time, money, and health at the same time. Then, the two focus on the topic at hand: investing for your kids. The Schlagbaums started investing for their first child, Logan Lee, before she was even born. They're currently utilizing a brokerage, 529, and Roth IRA for their kid (she does baby modeling). Guess what? They have a second baby on the way in September! They've started investing for her now too. Brennan also tells Lauren about ABLE accounts. Then, they jump into the WHY behind investing for your kids, and balancing helping your kids versus making them entitled. Brennan says, “Create trust fund babies in a good way.” They briefly touched on UTMA & UGMAs. Don't forget, though, to take care of yourself and your retirement before investing for your kids. Brennan leaves us off with one more thing you can use to invest for your kids: real estate. If you liked this episode, you'll also like 27, Teachable Moments for Kids and 129 with the Wealth Dad. About Brennan: Brennan Schlagbaum is a 31-year-old entrepreneur and personal finance influencer, but there's more to the story than that. When Brennan and his then-fiancée Erin were “normal” 24-year-olds “building their life,” they couldn't shake the oppressive feeling their mountain of debt gave them. Before they even said “I do” they had a mortgage, student loans, car debt, and consumer debt totaling over $300,000. As a numbers guy – Brennan is a CPA – he couldn't live like this. Fast forward to today, the Schlagbaums have paid off all that debt and eclipsed $1,000,000 net worth. During their journey, it became clear to Brennan that he was meant to help others realize and achieve the same financial success that they had achieved, thus the Budgetdog empire was born. Currently, Brennan and his wife Erin live in Dallas, Texas, with their daughter Logan Lee, with another on the way.

Paige Figi's daughter Charlotte was only 3 months old when she started having regular seizures, ultimately being diagnosed with Dravet's Syndrome. By the time she was four, after a gamet of pharmceuticals have proven ineffective, Charlotte was on life support with only days to live. Desperate, Paige had begun researching plant medicine and found a high concentration Cannabanoid (CBD) from the hemp plant. She watched in disbelief as Charlotte began improving and the near constant seizures became infrequent. In this powerful conversation, we discuss Paige's early life as a rescue diver, her role as a military spouse, Charlotte's heartbreaking health struggles, how Paige began helping other families, the Coaltition for Access, the Major League Baseball team who is standing behind CBD and so much more.
First off, apologies from our team for the late posting, I had a sudden medical emergency myself that put me in the hospital. But... we are back and will be posting a new episode on that incident in the near future! Thank you for trusting us to return to show production, even if we are 30 hours late! We are running with back to back reruns based on listeners requests. For this week's show, let me re-introduce you to Meg Pecora from our first season in July of 2018. At the time Meg was a recent college graduate from Columbia in Chicago. Now she is a recently engaged artist with chronic pain due to Fibromyalgia. She was approved for the Illinois medical cannabis program and discusses the process of obtaining the authorization and finally "prescription" for medical cannabis as a pain reliever. Medical marijuana uses the marijuana plant or chemicals in it to treat diseases or conditions. It's basically the same product as recreational marijuana, but it's taken for medical purposes. The marijuana plant contains more than 100 different chemicals called cannabinoids. Each one has a different effect on the body. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the main chemicals used in medicine. THC also produces the "high" people feel when they smoke marijuana or eat foods containing it. "The greatest amount of evidence for the therapeutic effects of cannabis relate to its ability to reduce chronic pain, nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, and spasticity [tight or stiff muscles] from MS," Bonn-Miller says. Medical marijuana received a lot of attention a few years ago when parents said that a special form of the drug helped control seizures in their children. The FDA recently approved Epidiolex, which is made from CBD, as a therapy for people with very severe or hard-to-treat seizures. In studies, some people had a dramatic drop in seizures after taking this drug. The cannabidiol Epidiolex was approved in 2018 for treating seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome. In addition, the FDA has approved two man-made cannabinoid medicines -- dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros) and nabilone (Cesamet) -- to treat nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy.

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST Amplifying Wisconsin Music Episode 092 Joey's Song raises the funds needed to support cutting-edge research and vital patient services in support of pediatric epilepsy and children with special needs. HOW JOEY'S SONG RAISES FUNDS Because of Joey's love for music, our foundation uses music as our primary fundraising vehicle. Each year, we host a benefit concert that features multi-platinum recording artist and 3-time Grammy winner Butch Vig and his band, The Know-It-All Boyfriends (aka KIAB), who serve as a house band to a steady stream of musical stars. Our Joey's Song family of artists include: Brian Aubert (Silversun Pickups); Charlie Berens (The Manitowoc Minute); Peter Buck and Mike Mills (R.E.M.); Neko Case; Rosanne Cash; Miguel Cervantes (Hamilton); Cory Chisel; Chris Collingwood (Fountains Of Wayne); Ralph Covert (The Bad Examples); Cowboy Junkies; Crash Test Dummies; Marshall Crenshaw; Justin Currie (Del Amitri); Tanya Donelly and Gail Greenwood (Belly); Butch Vig and Duke Erikson (Garbage); Steve Forbert; Robbie Fulks; Laura Jane Grace (Against Me!); Jon Dee Graham (True Believers); Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo); Joel Hodgson (Mystery Science Theater 3000); Kelly Hogan; Wally Ingram (Sheryl Crow); Jewel; Freedy Johnston; Sam Llanas (BoDeans); Gary Louris and Mark Olson (The Jayhawks); Jesse Malin; Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers); Scott McCaughey (Minus 5); Michael Mcdermott; Rhett Miller (Old 97s); Montgomery Gentry; Dan Navarro (Lowen & Navarro); Miles Nielsen; Rick Nielsen and Daxx Nielsen (Cheap Trick); Glen Phillips (Toad The Wet Sprocket); Dave Pirner (Soul Asylum); Linda Pitmon (Zuzu's Petals); Brian Ray (Paul Mccartney); Matthew Ryan; Trapper Schoepp; Jody Stephens (Big Star); Ken Stringfellow (The Posies); Aaron Tippin; Zach Williams (The Lone Bellow); and Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate). Since Joey's death in 2010, we have produced 5 charity compilation CDs featuring rare and previously unreleased music from nationally known, award-winning musicians. Our CDs are all available as digital downloads. Radio stations from Australia to the UK to South America to Japan to Sweden and everywhere in between have played our songs. CDs have been downloaded in over 25 countries worldwide. Joey's Song was started in 2010 following the death of four-year-old Joey Gomoll, who passed one week shy of his fifth birthday. Joey suffered from a rare and debilitating form of epilepsy known as Dravet Syndrome. Dravet's caused persistent seizures which were never able to be controlled through medications leading to severe learning disabilities. While Dravet's robbed Joey of the ability to speak, Joey remained a happy and fun-loving child. He was happiest when music was playing, allowing him to hum, drum, and sing in his own way. To be present when music was playing meant only one thing, that Joey would soon have you dancing and enjoying the music with him.
Outrora defensor da autonomia do médico, agora o Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM) perde força ao tentar restringir o uso do canabidiol para poucos contextos clínicos? Quem deve tratar deste tema, o CFM, a Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa), ou ambos? No primeiro episódio da sétima temporada do podcast Conversa de Médico, o advisor de psiquiatria do Medscape em português Dr. Sivan Mauer recebe seu colega Dr. Marco Bessa, especialista em psiquiatria da infância e adolescência, e em dependência química, para falar sobre a Resolução CFM Nº 2324 de 11/10/2022, publicada às vésperas das eleições presidenciais de 2022, que “Aprova o uso do canabidiol para o tratamento de epilepsias da criança e do adolescente refratárias às terapias convencionais na Síndrome de Dravet e Lennox-Gastaut e no Complexo de Esclerose Tuberosa”. Aperte o play e ouça o interessante debate sobre essa medida que gerou uma intensa resposta da sociedade civil ― sobretudo na internet.

Brett Parsons will be joining us for a chat tonight, Brett is the father to Samuel 12 and Bradley, who has Dravet Syndrome and is 9. We will talk about what challenges, triumphs and inspiration bring up a child with a disability, what impact it has had on his family and of course the impact it has on Brett himself.What is Dravet Syndrome?Dravet Syndrome is a rare neurological condition that encompasses treatment-resistant epilepsy, intellectual disability and a spectrum of associated conditions (known as ‘comorbidities'), which may include autism, ADHD, behaviours that challenge and difficulties with speech, mobility, eating and sleep.

Dravet Syndrome is a severe genetic epilepsy characterized by lifelong seizures and neurodevelopmental impairment that starts in infancy. Camp4 is developing an RNA therapy that it believes can reduce the frequency and severity of seizures, or eliminate them, by upregulating a gene that underlies the condition. We spoke to Ann Barbier, chief medical officer of Camp4 Therapeutics, about Dravet syndrome, the company's platform technology to develop therapies that can upregulate gene expression, and the potential to apply its approach to a broad range of conditions.
