Primary seizures are unprovoked and not linked to an inciting event, while secondary seizures may be caused by factors like trauma, illness, or poisoning. Generalized seizures involve abnormal neuronal activity in both cerebral hemispheres, causing alterations in consciousness, and can include tonic-clonic, absence, or atonic seizures. Focal seizures originate in one cerebral hemisphere and may preserve consciousness initially but can spread and cause changes in consciousness.

Seizures
A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It can cause changes in your behavior, movements or feelings, and in levels of consciousness. If you have two or more seizures or a tendency to have recurrent seizures, you have epilepsy.
Seizure
This document discusses seizures, including their definition, causes, types, symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatment, and nursing management. Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can be focal, affecting one area, or generalized, affecting both sides. They are classified based on symptoms such as loss of awareness, muscle jerking, or staring. Diagnostic tests include EEG, CT, MRI, and blood tests. Treatment involves antiseizure medications, surgery like vagus nerve stimulation for refractory cases, or dietary therapies like the ketogenic diet. Nursing care focuses on patient safety during seizures and proper medication management to prevent occurrences.
Seizures
Seizures are episodes of abnormal motor, sensory, autonomic, or psychic activity (or a combination of these) resulting from sudden excessive discharge from cerebral neurons.
Convulsions/SEIZURES
Sk. Saleha Begum, a 37-year-old female, was admitted to the hospital for seizures. She has a history of two grand mal seizures in the past 6 months and weakness in her lower limbs for 6 months. Her neurological exam was normal. She was diagnosed with seizures and her management included anti-seizure medications, lifestyle modifications, and patient education on seizure first aid and management. Her prognosis depends on treatment response and number/type of seizures.
GRAND MAL EPILEPSY
The document discusses epilepsy, describing it as uncontrolled excessive activity in the central nervous system. There are two types: localized epilepsy, which occurs due to excessive discharge from one brain part, and generalized epilepsy, which occurs across the entire brain. Grand mal epilepsy is characterized by tonic and clonic phases causing loss of consciousness and convulsions. Causes can include hereditary factors, head injuries, drug or alcohol use, tumors, infections, and other medical problems. Treatment typically involves anti-seizure medications.
Seizure disorders
This document provides an overview of seizure disorders, including:
- Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can cause changes in sensation, movement, or consciousness. Epilepsy is defined as recurrent seizures.
- Seizures are classified as partial or generalized, with partial seizures originating in one area of the brain and generalized seizures involving both hemispheres.
- Seizures have various clinical manifestations depending on their type, including motor, sensory, autonomic, or psychic symptoms. Generalized seizures typically involve loss of consciousness.
SEIZURE
Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. There are many types of seizures that can cause mild to severe symptoms depending on which part of the brain is affected. Seizures are generally managed through medication, emergency response during seizures, ongoing nursing assessment, and diagnostic evaluation by medical providers when needed.
AP1 Presentation - Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal neuronal activity in the brain. Seizures occur when neurons fire excessively or synchronously. Epilepsy affects over 2 million Americans and can be caused by genetic factors or brain injury/disease. Treatments include anti-seizure medications, dietary therapies like the ketogenic diet, surgery, and vagus nerve stimulation. However, seizures remain uncontrolled in about one-third of epilepsy patients.

Seizures
This document provides information on seizures and epilepsy. It defines seizures as uncontrolled electrical discharges in the brain that interrupt normal function. Epilepsy is defined as a recurrent seizure disorder caused by abnormal brain activity. Seizures can be caused by genetic, developmental, infectious, or environmental factors. The stages of a seizure are the prodromal, ictal, and postictal phases. Seizures are classified as partial or generalized and have different clinical manifestations depending on the affected brain region. Diagnosis involves a history, physical exam, EEG, and sometimes CT/MRI. Treatment includes anti-seizure medications, dietary therapies, surgery, and nursing care during and after seizures to prevent injury.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder characterized by abnormal brain activity that causes seizures. Seizures can vary in their symptoms but commonly involve temporary confusion, staring spells, jerking movements, loss of awareness, or changes in emotions and senses. A diagnosis of epilepsy requires at least two unprovoked seizures. Epilepsy affects people of all ages, races and backgrounds. Treatment options include medications or surgery which can control seizures for most people with epilepsy.

Types of Seizure
This document classifies and defines different types of seizures. It discusses the importance of determining the seizure type to identify the cause, select appropriate treatment, and provide a prognosis. Seizures are classified as either focal or generalized. Focal seizures originate in one area of the brain, while generalized seizures involve both hemispheres. Different generalized seizures include tonic-clonic, absence, myoclonic, atonic, and others. Focal seizures can be simple, complex, or start focally and spread. The document provides detailed descriptions and diagrams of the clinical presentations and brain mechanisms of several common seizure types.
Seizures and epilepsy
- Seizures are caused by abnormal excessive neuronal activity in the brain and can be classified as either partial or generalized seizures. Partial seizures originate in a localized region of the brain while generalized seizures involve both hemispheres.
- Common types of generalized seizures include absence seizures, characterized by brief lapses of consciousness, and tonic-clonic seizures which involve tonic muscle contraction followed by clonic movements.
- Complex partial seizures originate in the temporal lobe and involve psychic experiences such as hallucinations followed by automatisms like lip smacking and confusion after the seizure.
Epilepsy (seizure disorder)
Epilepsy is a disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. Seizures occur when groups of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain send out abnormal burst of electrical activity. The main types of seizures are generalized seizures, which involve the whole brain, and partial seizures, which originate in one area of the brain. Epilepsy has many potential causes including genetic factors, brain injury, infections, tumors, and metabolic imbalances. Treatment involves medications to control seizures and lifestyle modifications to prevent injury during seizures.

Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a group of disorders characterized by seizures caused by abnormal firing of neurons in the brain. Some common causes include drug or alcohol withdrawal, hormonal imbalances, trauma, and genetic factors. There are two main types - generalized seizures which affect the whole brain, and partial seizures which affect only one area. Generalized seizures include tonic-clonic, absence, atonic, and myoclonic seizures. Partial seizures can be simple, involving sensations or muscle movements, or complex, involving altered consciousness. Treatment involves anti-epileptic drugs which work by various mechanisms such as enhancing GABA inhibition or blocking sodium channels.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder characterized by recurring seizures. Seizures are brief disturbances in the electrical activity of the brain that can affect brain functions and cause symptoms like confusion, staring spells, jerking movements, loss of consciousness, and changes in emotions, sight, sound, and smell. There are two main types of seizures - focal seizures which originate in one area of the brain and generalized seizures which involve both sides of the brain. Common causes of epilepsy include genetic factors, head trauma, brain tumors or strokes, infectious diseases of the brain, and developmental disorders. While the exact cause is unknown in many cases, factors like family history, head injuries, strokes, brain infections, and dementia may increase the risk of

Epilepsy seizure
Epilepsy is a seizure disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures typically begin between ages 5-20 but can occur at any age. There are two main types of seizures - partial seizures which originate in one area of the brain and don't affect awareness, and generalized seizures which involve both hemispheres and impair consciousness. Generalized seizures include absence seizures which are brief disturbances of brain function, and tonic-clonic seizures where the person loses consciousness and has muscle contractions and jerking. Diagnostic tests include EEG, CT, MRI and blood tests. Treatment involves anti-seizure medications tailored to the seizure type. Nursing care focuses on safety during seizures and rest afterwards.
Epilepsy
This document discusses epilepsy and seizure disorders. It defines a seizure as abnormal electrical discharges of cerebral neurons resulting in changes to motor, sensory or psychomotor activity. Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures. Seizures can involve convulsions (shaking) or not. Antiepileptic drugs are used to prevent seizures, with different classes targeting sodium channels, GABA, or calcium channels. Common antiepileptics discussed include valproate, carbamazepine, phenytoin, ethosuximide, and phenobarbital. Adverse effects and mechanisms of several drugs are outlined. Classification of seizures and epilepsy syndromes is also covered.

Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Call Girls In Mumbai +91-7426014248 High Profile Call Girl Mumbai

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
