Abstrakt: A recent report from the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira discusses the use of the ketogenic diet as a non-pharmacological intervention for children with epilepsies. The study highlights that approximately 30% of children with epilepsies have seizures that are difficult to control with medication, which can impact their nutritional status. The researchers emphasize the need for further analysis on the impact of the ketogenic diet on the nutritional status of children and adolescents with epilepsies. This research provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of the ketogenic diet in managing pharmacoresistant epilepsies. [Extracted from the article]
