The document discusses how epilepsy is diagnosed and treated. For diagnosis, it is important for doctors to get a clear description of seizures from both patients and witnesses. Tests like brain scans, EEGs, and bloodwork can help diagnose epilepsy but may be normal. A diagnosis usually requires more than one seizure. Treatments include daily anti-seizure medications to stabilize brain activity, though epilepsy cannot be cured. Medication choice depends on seizure type, age, and other factors. Most people's seizures are controlled with one medication, though some require two.

Epilepsy Awareness
This document provides information about epilepsy for care workers. It defines epilepsy as a neurological disorder involving recurrent seizures from abnormal brain activity. The course aims to educate workers about the causes and types of seizures people may experience from epilepsy, as well as diagnosis, treatments, and the importance of clients taking their medication as prescribed. Epilepsy is generally idiopathic but can sometimes result from injuries, tumors or substance abuse, and genetic factors are linked to some cases.
Epilepsy Awareness
Risk factors for epilepsy include family history, head injuries, strokes, brain infections in childhood, and increasing age. Complications of epilepsy include falling during seizures, drowning, car accidents, pregnancy risks for both mother and baby, and increased likelihood of psychological issues like depression. Managing epilepsy involves identifying and reducing risk factors, making lifestyle changes, and working closely with doctors on medication and safety during activities like driving, swimming, and pregnancy.

Epilepsy In The African American Community
Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurring seizures caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain. Around 350,000 African Americans have epilepsy, and they are more likely to be diagnosed and experience more severe forms than Caucasians. Epilepsy has many potential causes including head trauma, infection, tumors, and genetic factors. During a seizure the brain's electrical activity goes haywire, which can cause loss of consciousness or involuntary muscle movements. Treatment aims to control seizures through medication, surgery, diet changes, or devices like vagus nerve stimulation.
Learning Disability
Learning disabilities can be caused by factors that affect brain development before or shortly after birth, such as the mother becoming ill during pregnancy, problems during birth like lack of oxygen, or genetic factors. Specific conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, and epilepsy are also associated with higher rates of learning disabilities. Profound multiple learning disabilities involve more than one disability where the most significant is a learning disability, and often co-occur with physical, sensory, health or mental challenges requiring full-time care.
Epilepsy Myths & Misconceptions
The document discusses common myths and misconceptions about epilepsy, stating that epilepsy is not contagious, people cannot swallow their tongue during a seizure, and not all seizures involve loss of consciousness. It notes that while some people have difficulty controlling seizures, up to 70% of people with epilepsy can achieve seizure freedom with medication. The document also emphasizes that epilepsy usually does not impact employment, parenting abilities, or participation in sports.

Alzheimer's Presentation
Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia that leads to death and primarily affects those over 65 years of age. While there is no cure, tests can confirm Alzheimer's through evaluations of behavior, thinking abilities, and brain scans. Common early symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events, which progress to include confusion, irritability, aggression, mood swings and language problems in later stages. Alzheimer's can go undetected for years and has an average life expectancy of 7 years after diagnosis, though symptoms gradually worsen over time. Current medications may help lessen symptoms but cannot stop the brain cell damage and loss of connections that cause cognitive decline.

Epilepsy by ashutosh p jadhav
This document discusses epilepsy and provides information about the condition. It begins by explaining that epilepsy is commonly called "fits" medically but is known as epilepsy. It then discusses some myths about epilepsy, explaining that it is not caused by evil possession or psychological problems but rather is a neurological condition caused by electrical short circuits in the brain. The document goes on to describe epileptic seizures as minor or major and explains how their frequency can vary between patients. It emphasizes that epilepsy is treatable long-term with anti-seizure medications.
Atonic seizures in children
A 2-year-old boy named Aminul Gazi was brought to the OPD after his mother reported that he often fell to the ground spontaneously without warning. During these episodes, which lasted less than a minute, he would go limp and appear powerless. Sometimes he would tell his mother before falling. The attacks started 6 months ago and occurred every 2-3 weeks. Aminul was diagnosed with atonic seizures, which involve a sudden loss of muscle tone causing the person to collapse.

Epilepsy (Description, Causes, Etc.)
Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain's electrical system that causes seizures. Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical impulses in the brain and can cause changes in movement, behavior, sensation, or awareness. Epilepsy has various causes including genetic factors, injuries, infections, and strokes. While there is no cure for epilepsy, treatments like medication, surgery, diet changes, and nerve stimulation can help control seizures. Epilepsy affects about 3% of Americans at some point in their lives and costs over $15 billion annually in the United States.
Photosensitive epilepsy
Photosensitive epilepsy is a type of epilepsy triggered by flashing lights or patterns. People with photosensitive epilepsy are more likely to have seizures when exposed to triggers like flashing lights, contrasting visual patterns on TVs, games, or screens. While there is no cure, anti-epileptic drugs can help reduce seizures and avoiding triggers can also help. During a seizure, it is important to keep the person safe but not restrict movement until it ends unless in danger.
Seizure Safety and Risk - Daniel Friedman, MD
1) Seizure first aid involves staying calm, moving the person away from danger, keeping track of time, turning them on their side after the seizure ends, and calling 911 if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes, if they are injured, have trouble breathing, or do not wake up properly.
2) About 15-20% of people with epilepsy experience injuries from seizures, most commonly bruises, lacerations, fractures, and burns from falls, especially in the kitchen or bathroom.
3) Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of epilepsy-related death and occurs when no other cause can be found, with risks increased by frequent generalized tonic-clonic

Als (lou gehrig's) (1)
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to loss of muscle control. It typically affects people in middle age and is more common in men. Symptoms may include muscle twitching, weakness, slurred speech, and difficulty swallowing. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms, maintaining mobility, and improving quality of life. Patients require supportive care, physical therapy, assistive devices, and may eventually need a feeding tube or ventilator for breathing.
Headache in children and adolescents
The document discusses headaches in children and adolescents. It describes the different types of headaches including acute, recurrent, chronic, and secondary headaches. It outlines the evaluation process for headaches including obtaining a thorough history, physical exam, and determining if imaging is needed. Lifestyle factors and various treatment options are also covered such as acute medication, preventative treatment, and lifestyle modifications.
Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It is the most common cause of dementia and starts mildly but gets worse over time as more parts of the brain are damaged. In 2010, around 4.7 million Americans aged 65 and older had Alzheimer's. The disease is caused by death of brain cells and formation of amyloid plaques and tau tangles, which shrink the brain and impair communication between neurons. Risk factors include age, family history, genetics, and medical conditions that impact brain health. While there is no cure, current medications can temporarily improve cognitive symptoms.
Epilepsy keynote presi
Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. It is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain and is not contagious, though it often has a genetic component. Seizures occur when normal brain patterns become disrupted, controlled by the vagus nerve in the neck. Epilepsy can be managed with medications that control seizures or with surgical procedures like removing part of the brain or implanting a device to regulate the vagus nerve. While head injuries can cause seizures and potentially lead to epilepsy, having only one seizure is usually due to a temporary cause rather than epilepsy itself.

Neurodegenerative diseases why they are increasing every day
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are increasing due to aging populations and environmental factors. Lifestyle habits also significantly impact brain health, with a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet promoting neurodegeneration. Proper diet, exercise, sleep, mental stimulation, and stress management can help reduce risk by maintaining brain cell health and function as we age. Early detection of neurodegenerative diseases remains difficult as symptoms are often nonspecific initially.

Alan T. Rasof: Types of Cerebral Palsy
Alan T. Rasof explains the four major types of Cerebral Palsy and why it is important that we, as a society, understand the differences and affects of each.
Celebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the developing brain, which can occur during pregnancy, delivery, or early childhood. Over three quarters of cases result from issues during pregnancy, such as infection, lack of oxygen, prematurity, or genetic factors. Between 40-50% of cerebral palsy cases are in children born prematurely, with risks increasing the earlier the birth. Other risk factors include complications during delivery, low birth weight, infections, and genetic disorders. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, and mixed, defined by the pattern of muscle tone and movement abnormalities.

Over three quarters of cases result from issues during pregnancy, such as infection, lack of oxygen, prematurity, or genetic factors. Between 40-50% of cerebral palsy cases are in children born prematurely, with risks increasing the earlier the birth. Other risk factors include complications during delivery, low birth weight, infections, and genetic disorders. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, and mixed, defined by the pattern of muscle tone and movement abnormalities.
Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to abnormalities in brain development. It is the most common motor disability in childhood, affecting 1 in 303 children in the US. There are four main types of CP: spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, and mixed. CP is caused by abnormalities before birth, often due to prematurity or low birth weight. While there is no cure for CP, treatment aims to help individuals be as independent as possible through therapies, medications, and assistive devices. A team approach is needed to manage CP and its related conditions.
Stoma bag Awareness
A stoma bag collects waste from a surgically created opening (stoma) in the abdomen. A stoma may be needed for conditions like cancer or bowel disease. There are three main types of stoma - for the small bowel, large bowel, or ureters. To care for a stoma bag, the area around the stoma must be cleaned gently without rubbing before applying a new bag. The bag flange is cut to size and fitted securely over the stoma to collect waste without leaks. Full bags are emptied into the toilet and disposed of properly.
Cerebral Palsy Presentation
Cerebral palsy is a brain disorder that affects movement and muscle tone. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, which can occur before, during, or shortly after birth. Common symptoms include tight or weak muscles, impaired motor skills, walking difficulties, and problems with coordination or speech. While there is no cure for cerebral palsy, treatment focuses on helping individuals gain independence through physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as braces, walkers, or wheelchairs. Creating an inclusive classroom environment that meets the specific needs of students with cerebral palsy is also important for their education and development.
Peg Feeding
Feeding tubes are often inappropriately inserted in patients with dementia contrary to their and their families' wishes. Research shows little benefit from aggressive nutritional support via feeding tubes for those with dementia as it does not improve life expectancy, weight, or reduce complications. Feeding tubes should not be used for administrative convenience and have been found to adversely affect quality of life in terminal patients. Hospitals are now reviewing PEG requests with nutrition teams and consultants to appropriately assess if insertion will improve quality of life rather than just prolonging it.
Epilepsy and its causes
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures that affects 5-10 per 1000 people, making it one of the most common neurological diseases. Seizures occur when there is abnormal neuronal activity in the brain, resulting in temporary disturbances. Epilepsy has many potential causes including developmental anomalies, head injuries, blood clots or hemorrhages in the brain, genetic factors, as well as various environmental triggers such as chemical exposure, drug or alcohol use, sleep deprivation, stress, and antidepressant withdrawal.
Autism Awareness
The document discusses the signs and symptoms of autism which can vary widely but generally include difficulties with social communication, speech and language, and flexible or repetitive behaviors. Specifically, it notes problems with social interaction, preferring isolation, lack of pretend play, challenges understanding emotions and communication. Symptoms also involve delays or abnormalities in speech, language use and understanding. Difficulties with nonverbal cues like eye contact and interpreting facial expressions are discussed. The document also describes signs of inflexible or repetitive routines, interests and behaviors like strict schedules, unusual fixations or "stimming".
Pressure Sore
Pressure sores, also known as decubitus ulcers or bed sores, are localized skin injuries caused by prolonged pressure, friction, or shearing forces that impair blood flow. They commonly form over bony areas of immobilized patients and cost health systems billions annually to treat. Prevention focuses on reducing pressure, moisture, and shearing through frequent repositioning, skin care, nutrition, and devices like air mattresses. Pressure sores are staged from 1 to 4 based on tissue depth involvement and managed accordingly through cleaning, debridement, dressings, and sometimes antibiotics.
How to manage when dealing with people's challenging behaviour
A more cohesive way to look at working with "difficult people". 'How to manage when dealing with people's challenging behaviour' provides a foundation to how to work with people with challenging behaviour.
Peg Feeding
This document provides information on caring for and potential complications of a PEG tube. It describes routinely cleaning and rotating the tube to prevent adherence. Potential immediate complications within 72 hours include hemorrhage, perforation, aspiration or oversedation from the endoscopy, as well as ileus, pneumoperitoneum or wound issues. Delayed complications can include gastric outlet obstruction, buried bumper syndrome, dislodged or blocked tubes, or infections. PEG tubes should be removed if no longer needed, for persistent infections, or failure/deterioration, and the method depends on the tube type.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is defined as two or more unprovoked seizures and is caused by underlying brain dysfunction. It is a common neurological disease with varying prevalence worldwide. The causes of epilepsy are often unknown, though common causes in developed countries include cerebrovascular disease, tumors, alcohol use, and head trauma. Epilepsy results from an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in the brain, which can be caused by structural abnormalities. Diagnosis is based on eyewitness accounts of seizures, which can include generalized convulsions or localized symptoms. Investigations help characterize seizures and guide management.
Challenging Behaviour WTF?
The document discusses challenging behavior, providing definitions and describing common types. It notes that challenging behavior is influenced by risk factors, ecological factors, setting events, and specific triggers. The consequences of behavior, whether reinforcement or punishment, influence whether the behavior will occur again. Positive behavioral support is presented as a proactive approach for understanding behavior and making environmental changes to reduce challenging behavior over time.
Manual handling presentation
This document provides guidance on manual handling and supporting people. It defines manual handling as transporting or supporting loads by hand or bodily force. It lists examples of supporting people such as getting in/out of bed, bathing, using the toilet, and getting in/out of vehicles. It also outlines relevant legislation and principles for maintaining a healthy spine. Guidelines are provided for hoisting, sliding sheets, transfer boards, and ensuring safety when loads cannot bear weight. Risks of poor manual handling practices are outlined as cuts, bruises, fractures and damage to the musculoskeletal system.
Challenging. Behaviour
The document discusses challenging behaviors in people with dementia and provides tips for caregivers. It explains that aggressive behaviors can be caused by feelings of fear, frustration, or loss of control. It advises caregivers not to take aggression personally and to remain calm. It also recommends identifying triggers for behaviors and addressing underlying needs or sources of discomfort, such as pain, thirst, or a disrupted routine. The document emphasizes the importance of caregiver self-care and seeking help from professionals if behaviors become difficult to manage.
Epilepsy
This document provides definitions and information about seizures and epilepsy. It defines a seizure as a sudden wave of synchronous electrical activity in the brain that affects how a person feels or acts for a short time. Epilepsy is defined as a condition that affects the central nervous system and requires a person to have had at least two seizures not caused by a known medical condition or extremely low blood sugar. The document discusses different types of seizures including partial and generalized seizures, as well as diagnostic testing and treatment options for epilepsy.
Cerebral palsy presentation
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive neurological condition caused by damage to the developing brain that results in loss of muscle control and movement. There are three main types of cerebral palsy: spastic, which causes stiff movement; athetoid, characterized by involuntary movement; and ataxic, affecting balance and depth perception. Depending on the area of brain damage, people with cerebral palsy may experience muscle tightness, abnormal gait, seizures, and other issues. While there is no cure, medications, exercise, and adaptive equipment can help manage symptoms.
Cerebral Palsy: PT assessment and Management
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders caused by damage to the developing brain before, during or after birth. It affects movement and posture, and can cause physical disability. The main types are spastic, athetoid, ataxic and hypotonic CP. Symptoms vary depending on the type and severity. CP is diagnosed based on signs of impaired motor development and abnormal muscle tone or movement. There is no cure for CP, but treatment aims to improve ability and quality of life through therapies and medications.
Cerebral Palsy
This document provides information about cerebral palsy (CP), including:
1. CP is a motor function disorder caused by permanent, non-progressive brain lesions present at birth or shortly after. It causes a lack of muscle control and balance issues.
2. CP has various causes like developmental malformations, neurological damage before/during/after birth from issues like lack of oxygen.
3. There are four main types of CP defined by affected movements: spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed. Spastic CP is the most common.
4. Treatment aims to improve motor skills and independence through therapies, surgeries, medications, assistive devices, and family support
Challenging Behaviour
The document discusses challenging behavior in individuals with learning disabilities. It explains that challenging behavior often stems from an inability to communicate wants and needs effectively. It may serve as a way for those with learning disabilities to exert control over their environment. While there is no single cure, medical causes should be ruled out and functional assessments conducted to understand the reasons for behavior. Caregivers should develop communication skills, provide choice, and get support from professionals to help reduce challenging incidents. Proper support involves meeting individual needs through flexible, personalized services and developing genuine partnerships between those receiving support and caregivers.

Common causes include stroke, brain injury, tumors, genetics, and infections. Symptoms vary but can include violent shaking or staring spells. Treatment may involve anti-seizure medications or surgery to remove the source of seizures in the brain. While epilepsy is often lifelong, some types improve with age or can be reduced with consistent medication over time.
Epilepsy In The African American Community
Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurring seizures caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain. Around 350,000 African Americans have epilepsy, and they are more likely to be diagnosed and experience more severe forms than Caucasians. Epilepsy has many potential causes including head trauma, infection, tumors, and genetic factors. During a seizure, nerve cells in the brain fire too quickly causing changes in movement, behavior, feelings, or awareness. Treatment aims to eliminate seizures without side effects through medication, surgery, diet changes, or lifestyle modifications.

Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes repeated, sudden, brief changes in the brain's electrical activity. These changes cause various types of symptoms.
Complications of disease.docx
This document discusses complications that can arise from epilepsy. It notes that epilepsy can affect various body systems like the cardiac, pulmonary, and metabolic systems, potentially leading to complications such as arrhythmias, respiratory issues, and changes in electrolyte levels. The document also outlines how epilepsy can significantly impact one's education, employment, social life, and relationships by causing issues like cognitive impairments, communication problems, and stigma. Managing the condition requires strict medication adherence, a healthy lifestyle, safety precautions, and addressing any mental health issues that may arise from living with epilepsy.
epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures caused by sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. A seizure occurs when nerve cells in the brain fire too quickly, causing an "electrical storm". About 3 million Americans have epilepsy, with 200,000 new cases diagnosed each year. While the exact cause is unknown in many cases, common causes include head trauma, brain tumors, strokes, genetic factors, and infections. Treatment involves anti-seizure medications, surgery, dietary therapies, and lifestyle modifications to control seizures.
Possible complications of disease.docx
This document discusses possible complications from epilepsy and managing the disease process. It outlines potential complications that can affect cardiac, autonomic, pulmonary, metabolic, endocrine and other body systems. Repeated seizures can also cause issues like rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. Epilepsy impacts various aspects of life including education, employment, social interactions and relationships. Managing the disease requires taking medications regularly, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, being aware of seizure triggers, and addressing any mental health issues. Two classes of anticonvulsant medications are used to treat epilepsy - very rapidly acting ones for status epilepticus and less rapid acting ones to prevent future seizures.
EPILEPSY
1. The message provides incorrect information about phenytoin dosage and duration that could lead to seizures if followed. It also provides incorrect usage of Progyluton.
2. Phenytoin is typically taken as 100mg capsules 3-4 times daily for a total of 300-400mg daily for long-term epilepsy treatment. Progyluton should be taken as one tablet daily for 21 days followed by a 7 day break.
3. Drug-drug interactions between phenytoin and estrogen need to be considered to avoid reducing contraceptive effectiveness and risk of pregnancy for women with epilepsy. Alternative contraceptive methods should be considered.

Epilepsy presentation
This document provides an overview of epilepsy and seizures. It defines epilepsy as a disorder characterized by recurring seizures, while a seizure is a temporary disturbance in brain electrical activity. Epilepsy affects about 3 million Americans, with many cases caused by unknown factors like brain injury or genetics. Seizures have various symptoms depending on the affected brain region. Treatment involves medications, surgery, dietary changes or devices to control seizures. The document outlines diagnosis, management goals, treatment considerations and resources for those living with epilepsy.
Epilepsy group6
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes seizures and is usually diagnosed after two or more seizures. It affects the nervous system and can develop at any age for various reasons, though the cause is often unknown. Seizures occur when there is abnormal electrical activity in the brain. While epilepsy cannot be cured, seizures can be controlled through antiepileptic medications in many cases. Getting proper sleep is also important for managing seizures.
STATUS EPILEPTICUS
Status epilepticus (SE) refers to a life-threatening condition in which the brain is in a state of persistent seizure.
Panic disorder
Panic disorder is characterized by sudden and repeated attacks of fear or panic. During an attack, a person may experience physical symptoms like a pounding heart, sweating, or feeling unable to breathe. Between attacks, many people with panic disorder worry excessively about when the next attack will occur. Panic disorder is generally treated with psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy, medication like antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs, or a combination of both. Talking to a doctor can help identify the best treatment options.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It affects over 50 million people worldwide. Diagnosis involves EEG, imaging tests, and ruling out other conditions. Treatment primarily consists of anti-epileptic medications which control seizures in about 70% of cases by modifying brain chemistry. Surgery or devices may also be options, and lifestyle changes like adequate sleep and avoiding triggers can help manage symptoms.
Difference between seizures and epilepsy
Most of us do not expect to experience something like seizures and epilepsy. But such nerve-related conditions are getting common nowadays. A seizure can only occur once. On the other hand, epilepsy is basically a neurological condition, which can be characterized by multiple unprovoked seizures. You can also experience a seizure even if you are not epileptic.
Psychiatric Medications
This document provides information about various psychiatric medications, including their purposes, common types, potential side effects, and precautions. It discusses medications used to treat psychosis (antipsychotics), side effects of antipsychotics, mood disorders (lithium, anticonvulsants), depression (SSRIs, tricyclics, MAOIs). Key points covered include the importance of adherence, monitoring side effects, blood tests where needed, and discussing any other medications or substances with doctors due to potential interactions.
Migraineand Youfinal2 12.02.04
Migraine is a common neurological disorder affecting around 20% of women and 10% of men. It causes moderate to severe headaches that are often one-sided, throbbing, and worsened by activity. Migraine peaks during ages 30-60 and can be disabling by causing missed work or activities. Both acute and preventive treatments are available to reduce frequency and severity of attacks. Lifestyle factors like sleep, diet, caffeine, and stress can trigger migraines, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle also helps management.
Neurological examination PDF manual
This document provides an overview of how to conduct a neurological examination. It discusses the importance of taking a thorough history, including details on the presenting symptom, onset, progression, associated symptoms, relieving/precipitating factors, and family history. It emphasizes localization of the lesion and differential diagnosis. Specific complaints that are addressed include headache, dizziness, and vertigo. For headaches, it describes questions to ask regarding quality, severity, location, triggers, and associated symptoms. For dizziness and vertigo, it differentiates between true vertigo and lightheadedness, and discusses potential neurological versus peripheral causes. The goal of the examination is to obtain enough information to make a tentative diagnosis in about half of cases.
MSand Mg
This document provides an overview of multiple sclerosis (MS) and myasthenia gravis (MG). For MS, it discusses that the cause is unknown but may involve viruses, genetics or an autoimmune response. Symptoms involve the brain and spinal cord and include numbness, weakness, and vision issues. Diagnosis involves MRI, spinal fluid analysis and evoked potentials. Nursing goals include managing symptoms, preventing complications and maintaining mobility. For MG, it describes it as an autoimmune disorder causing muscle weakness. Symptoms include weakness of eye muscles and swallowing. Diagnostic tests include Tensilon test and electromyography. Treatment focuses on anticholinesterase medications.
Nes feb2009
This document provides information about non-epileptic seizures (NES), including:
1. NES have different causes than epileptic seizures and include organic NES caused by physical issues and psychogenic NES caused by psychological factors like dissociative seizures.
2. Diagnosing NES involves taking a personal history, witness accounts of seizures, and medical tests to rule out other conditions, as NES can look similar to epileptic seizures.
3. Treatment for dissociative seizures focuses on psychotherapy to help understand triggers and reduce stress, as medication alone is usually not effective for psychogenic NES.

Child protection 5
This document defines child abuse and outlines the different types. It states that child abuse includes physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect. Abuse can occur within the family, community, or institutional settings. The document also discusses factors that can increase the risk of abuse, such as a child's developmental needs, a caregiver's capacity to meet those needs, and environmental factors. The four main types of abuse are defined as physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect.
Child protection 4
Local authorities have a duty to investigate if a child is suspected to be at risk of significant harm. Safeguarding aims to protect children's wellbeing and development by ensuring their safety, stability, and care. It also aims to prevent maltreatment, neglect, violence, and impairment that could affect a child's life chances. Child protection refers specifically to protecting children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm. Child protection conferences bring together family and professionals to assess risk and create plans for children deemed at risk of harm.
Child Protection 3
The document discusses safeguarding children from harm and impairment. It defines significant harm as ill-treatment or impairment of a child's health or development. Children can be more vulnerable if they are babies, disabled, isolated, in care, or have emotional/behavioral difficulties. Professionals must take special care to safeguard children living in stressful circumstances such as poverty, domestic violence, parental mental illness, substance abuse, racism, or crime. Babies under one are especially vulnerable to abuse and have the highest rates of homicide and child protection plans.
Child Protection 2
Children who are vulnerable and unlikely to maintain a satisfactory level of health or development without support services. A continuum of need exists from simple to complex support needs, with child protection needs requiring intervention under section 47 of the Children Act. Legislation like the Children Acts of 1989 and 2004 and Education Act of 2002 provide guidance on safeguarding children. Abuse can occur through neglect, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse by family, institutions, communities, or strangers including online.
Child Protection
This document discusses child protection in the UK. It defines child protection as protecting children from abuse and neglect through measures and structures. The aims are to raise awareness of safeguarding responsibilities and signs of possible abuse. The Children Act 1989 is the key legislation, establishing the paramount principle of a child's welfare and defining parental responsibility, local authority duties to investigate suspected harm, and children "in need". The 2004 Act responded to inquiries by integrating children's services and establishing safeguarding boards between agencies.
Stroke Awareness
There are two main types of stroke: ischaemic and haemorrhagic. Ischaemic strokes are caused by blockages in arteries supplying the brain, usually from blood clots or fatty deposits. Haemorrhagic strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, usually due to high blood pressure. Key tests to determine the type of stroke include brain scans such as CT or MRI scans, and ultrasounds of the neck arteries. The type of stroke determines the appropriate treatment.
Stroke Awareness
Signs and symptoms of a stroke include drooping of the face, arms or legs, blurred vision, slurred speech, confusion, weakness or numbness. Key stages include symptoms developing suddenly due to a blockage or bleed in the brain. Location of damage in the brain determines affected areas of the body. Treatment depends on stroke type, such as clot-busting drugs for ischemic strokes. Recovery often occurs in the first few months but can last years with rehabilitation support. Prevention is important as risk of another stroke remains high post-stroke.
Stroke Awareness
Most strokes are caused by damaged arteries that carry blood to the brain. Arteries can become hardened, narrowed, or weakened over time from conditions like high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. The location and severity of reduced blood flow in the brain determines the symptoms, as different areas of the brain control different body functions.
Stroke Awareness
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to be damaged or die. This document provides an overview of a stroke awareness training course, which aims to teach candidates about stroke symptoms, types, risk factor management, emergency response, and post-stroke management and support. The goals are to help people understand what a stroke is, recognize the signs of a stroke, and know how to appropriately respond in the event of a stroke.
Stroke Awareness
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. Most strokes are caused by a blood clot blocking an artery, while some are caused by bleeding in the brain. Symptoms of a stroke can include numbness or weakness on one side of the body, facial drooping, slurred speech, and blurred vision. It is a medical emergency and calling emergency services immediately is crucial to receiving timely treatment.
Personal Care
The document provides guidelines for various caregiving tasks including reducing costs of high protein foods, preventing skin breakdown, lifting and moving recipients safely, general positioning principles, turning and positioning rules, ambulation safety, and safe cleaning product use. Key recommendations are to use cheaper poultry over red meat, change recipient positions every two hours to prevent skin issues, bend at hips and knees with back straight when lifting, and do not mix cleaning products.
Personal Care
Health records serve two main functions - primary and secondary. The primary function is to record important clinical information for healthcare professionals involved in a patient's care, such as treatments, allergies, medications, test results, and personal details. The secondary function is to use anonymized record data to improve public health services, track disease spread and risk factors, and conduct clinical research on treatment effectiveness. Records take many forms, both paper and electronic, and include notes from appointments, hospital admission and discharge records, test results, x-rays, and images. Employers and those in control of premises have a legal duty under RIDDOR to record and report work-related injuries, diseases, and incidents.
Personal Care
Personal care involves assistance with activities of daily living like washing, dressing, eating and mobility. It is provided by trained carers rather than nurses for those needing help but not medical care. Good communication techniques include listening, making eye contact, using simple language, giving feedback without interrupting or appearing impatient. Kitchen safety means avoiding high heat with grease, using potholders for hot items, cleaning spills immediately, and being careful with knives. Signs of infection can include fever, restlessness, chills, abnormal discharge, swelling, lack of appetite, redness, pain, and changes in behavior.
Personal Care
This document discusses a personal care course that teaches candidates how to provide quality personal care according to individuals' needs. The course covers bathing, showering, mouth and denture care, hair care, foot and nail care, and adhering to basic safety and standard precaution principles. The aims are to understand what personal care involves, how to provide different types of personal care according to needs, and the importance of recording and reporting. Personal care includes assistance with bodily functions like dressing, washing, bathing, toileting, eating, drinking, taking medication, and communicating. It is the occupation of attending to the physical needs of those unable to care for themselves, such as tasks involving moving, eating, cooking, shopping,
Peg Feeding
PEG is a surgical procedure where a feeding tube is placed through the abdomen into the stomach using an endoscope, avoiding open abdominal surgery. It is used for patients unable to eat for a prolonged period. A gastrostomy is created through the skin and stomach using the endoscope to guide placement of the feeding tube. PEG is performed to provide nutrition to patients who cannot swallow food and is done by physicians like surgeons, ENT specialists, radiologists or gastroenterologists, often in outpatient settings. It has advantages over surgical gastrostomy in taking less time, carrying less risk and costing less.
Peg Feeding
This document provides an introduction to PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) feeding. PEG is a medical procedure where a feeding tube is inserted directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall, allowing for enteral nutrition when oral intake is not adequate. The document outlines what PEG is, the insertion method, benefits of PEG feeding, post-insertion management and care, potential complications, and feeding techniques. PEG is an alternative to open surgical gastrostomy that does not require general anesthesia, using mild sedation instead. PEG tubes can also be extended into the small intestine for feeding.
Learning Disability
This document discusses several physical and emotional conditions that are often associated with learning disabilities, including autism, Asperger's syndrome, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, fragile X syndrome, global development delay, and challenging behaviors. It notes that individuals with learning disabilities may receive multiple diagnoses and require additional support. Brief descriptions of each condition are provided.
Learning Disability
A learning disability affects how a person learns new information and communicates, impacting their ability to understand complex ideas, learn new skills, and function independently. Around 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability, which can range from mild to severe. While a learning disability is different from a learning difficulty or mental illness, support from professionals is available to help individuals live as independently as possible.
Learning Disability
This course aims to provide an understanding of learning disabilities, including what they are, their causes, diagnosis, and how they relate to other conditions. Participants will learn about the different types of learning disabilities and approaches to dealing with challenging behaviors. Learning disabilities refer to significant difficulties learning in a typical manner and can cause unique challenges throughout life, though interventions and technologies exist to help individuals learn strategies for success.
Epilepsy Awareness
There are two main categories of epilepsy - idiopathic (no apparent cause) and symptomatic (known cause such as brain injury). Common causes of symptomatic epilepsy include strokes, brain tumors, head injuries, infections, and birth complications. Seizures can be partial (affect small area of brain) or generalized (affect large area). Partial seizures may cause strange sensations but consciousness is retained, while complex partial seizures cause loss of awareness. Generalized seizures include absence, myoclonic, clonic, atonic, and tonic-clonic seizures which vary in their physical symptoms and effects on consciousness.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

Epilepsy Awareness
- 2. How is epilepsy diagnosed? You should see a doctor if you have had a possible seizure or similar event. Sometimes it is difficult for a doctor to confirm that you have had a seizure. The most important part of confirming the diagnosis is the description of what happened. Other conditions can look like seizures - for example, faints, panic attacks, collapses due to heart problems, breath-holding attacks in children.
- 3. Howis epilepsy diagnosed? Therefore, it is important that a doctor should have a clear description of what happened during the event. It may be that a person who witnessed your seizure may be able to give a more accurate description of what happened during your seizure. There is no one test to confirm a diagnosis of epilepsy. However, tests such as brain scans, electroencephalogram (EEG - brainwave recordings) and blood tests may help to make a diagnosis.
- 4. How is epilepsy diagnosed? A brain scan - usually a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan - shows the structure of different parts of the brain. This may be performed in some people.
- 5. How is epilepsy diagnosed? EEG. This test records the electrical activity of the brain. Special stickers are placed on various parts of the scalp. They are connected to the EEG machine. This amplifies the tiny electrical messages given off by the brain and records their pattern on paper or computer. The test is painless. Some types of seizure produce typical EEG patterns. However, a normal recording does not rule out epilepsy, and not all EEG abnormalities are related to epilepsy.
- 6. How is epilepsy diagnosed? Blood tests and other tests may be advised to check on your general well-being. They may also look for other possible causes of the event.
- 7. How is epilepsy diagnosed? Although helpful, tests are not foolproof. It is possible to have epilepsy with normal test results. Also, if an abnormality is found on a brain scan, it does not prove that it causes seizures. However, tests may help to decide if the event was a seizure, or caused by something else. It is unusual for a diagnosis of epilepsy to be made after one seizure, as the definition of epilepsy is recurrent seizures. For this reason a doctor may suggest to wait and see if it happens again before making a firm diagnosis of epilepsy.
- 8. What are the treatments for epilepsy? Medication Epilepsy cannot be cured with medication. However, with the right type and strength of medication, the majority of people with epilepsy do not have seizures. The medicines work by stabilising the electrical activity of the brain. You need to take medication every day to prevent seizures. Deciding on which medicine to prescribe depends on such things as: your type of epilepsy, your age, other medicines that you may take for other conditions, possible side- effects, whether you are pregnant or if planning a pregnancy.
- 9. What are the treatmentsfor epilepsy? One medicine can prevent seizures in most cases. A low dose is usually started at first. The dose may be increased if this fails to prevent seizures. In some cases two medicines are needed to prevent seizures. The decision when to start medication may be difficult. A first seizure may not mean that you have epilepsy, as a second seizure may never happen, or may occur years later. The decision to start medication should be made by weighing up all the pros and cons of starting, or not starting, the medicine. It is unusual to start treatment after a first seizure. A common option is to wait and see after a first seizure. If you have a second seizure within a few months, more are likely.
- 10. What are the treatmentsfor epilepsy? The type of treatment you will be given often depends on the type of seizures you have and also if you are taking any other medication. Some points about medication for epilepsy include the following: Ask your doctor how long treatment is likely to be advised. This will vary from case to case. If you have not had seizures for several years, you may wish to try stopping medication. However, this depends on your particular type of epilepsy, as some types will need medication for life. Your life circumstances may influence the decision about stopping medication.
- 11. What are the treatmentsfor epilepsy? Although the list of possible side-effects for each medicine seems long, in practice, most people have few or no side- effects, or just minor ones. Ask your doctor which side- effects are important to look out for. If you develop a troublesome side-effect it may be dose-related, or may diminish in time. Alternatively, a switch to another medicine may be advised.
- 12. What are the treatmentsfor epilepsy? Medicines which are used for other conditions may interfere with medication for epilepsy. If you are prescribed or buy another medicine, remind your doctor or pharmacist that you take medication for epilepsy. Even things like indigestion medicines may interact with your epilepsy medication, which may increase your chance of having a seizure.
- 13. What are the treatmentsfor epilepsy? Some medicines for epilepsy interfere with the contraceptive pill. A higher-dose pill or an alternative method of contraception may be needed. Tell your doctor if you intend to become pregnant. Pre- conception counselling is important for women with epilepsy. If you have epilepsy and take medication, you are exempt from prescription charges for all your prescriptions. You need an exemption certificate. You can get this from your pharmacist.
