Until the early twentieth century Epilepsy was believed to be contagious, but matters gradually calmed down and it became clear that it had been a disease just like any other.
The medication that doctors prescribe to a person that has Epilepsy cannot cure the disease, as they only control it and lessen the number of seizures that the respective person has. Seizures are attacks experienced by someone having neurological disorders caused by several factors which weaken the body. Epileptic seizures are far worse and only a slight impulse is enough for an epileptic to experience them again. The number of epileptic seizures experienced by a person with Epilepsy can vary from just a few attacks per year to several hundred attacks per day. There is more than one type of seizure and while some are somewhat mild, others are extremely violent and can become even deadly.

Epilepsy Case Study
A higher percentage of epileptic children experience learning difficulties when compared to the general population. (Epilepsy Foundation, 2009) This signifies a noteworthy proportion of epileptic children who are underachievers and who tend to progress less than what would be expected for their age and IQ. The difficulties experienced by these children may be directly related to the frequency and type of seizures or maybe a result of adverse effects of drugs or additional emotional, behavioral or relationship problems. (Kleignman et al., 2011) The aim of this article is to highlight the possible issues of concern regarding the inclusion of these children in a regular classroom.

Epilepsy is a disorder of abnormal neuronal discharge in the brain causing a transient paroxysmal disturbance of brain functions, which may manifest as loss of consciousness, abnormal motor phenomena, sensory or psychic disturbances, or an alteration of normal autonomic function. Epilepsy is not a….

Communication: Disease (Epilepsy)Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2021) stated that more than 1 million older adults in the US have epilepsy- a disease mainly known as a seizure-inducing disorder. Why am I telling you this? Let me explain after my introduction.Greetings, my name is XYZ, and I am related to the selected topic in a unique way. I was closely connected to my grandmother, who was suffering from epilepsy. She was living with us, and I had visually experienced her problems, which affected me psychologically. I was even more disturbed for quite some time after her death.Epilepsy has different symptoms in young adults compared to older generations. Lee (2019) asserted that it could be due to different body conditions and non-specific characteristics of the diseases that affect every individual differently. It makes the diagnosis of the illness hard even for the specialists leading to even harder treatment procedures….

Epilepsy -- a Neurological Disorder

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder which causes frequent seizures due to abnormal electricity activity within the brain. Epilepsy is considered a brain disorder disturbing the brain function which ultimately affects behaviour and cognition. This paper highlights some common symptoms of epilepsy. It also explains different treatments deployed for reducing seizure activity in epilepsy. Each treatment portrays a different way of taking control over the seizures and points out a path towards leading a balanced life.

Epilepsy -- A Neurological Disorder

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder which is characterised by repeated spontaneous seizures of any type which cause problems with speech, vision, movement, awareness and muscle control. Epilepsy cannot be considered as an intellectual disability or mental illness. This paper explains the common symptoms associated with epilepsy. It highlights three different types of treatments for epilepsy and presents a comparative analysis regarding them. The treatments discussed….

The dog may lose consciousness and fall to the ground. There may also be teeth gnashing, frantic thrashing of limbs, excessive drooling, vocalizing, paddling of feet, uncontrollable urination and defecation. The Post Ictus is the stage after the seizure when the dog may pace endlessly, appear blind and deaf and eat or drink excessively.
When a dog first experiences a seizure, it is essential to rule out causes other than true epilepsy. It is difficult to diagnose canine epilepsy because many other diseases or disorders can result in seizures Therefore, blood tests, x-rays, physical examination, and history leading up to the seizure are necessary for accurate diagnosis. If the clinician finds no identifiable cause of the seizure based on clinical evaluation, then the dog is considered to have true epilepsy. Seizures are not predictable. Some dogs appear to have seizures very regularly, while in others, the seizures appear to be….

As for accommodations when it comes to Ronnie's occupation, it seems as though the employer is already doing well with these. By having Ronnie work a job where he is in charge of some things that he enjoys doing but does not have a lot of contact with customers, there is less of a worry about his having a seizure while on the job, which could confuse or upset customers, or otherwise make them uncomfortable. The other employees that Ronnie works with in his department should be made aware of Ronnie's condition and what to do if he has a seizure so that it causes as little of a disruption as possible and so that Ronnie is safe and cared for. Since he becomes dazed and confused during seizures he could even wander off into the parking lot or do something that might be unsafe. He does not need to….

In the world of medicine today, there is still much about the inner workings of the human brain that are relatively unknown. Yet advancements in brain scanning and other techniques are giving researchers greater insight on how epilepsy works and why the brain responds as it does to the seizures. Obviously, with advances in genetic testing and the existence of the Human Genome Project, epilepsy could one day be cured and thus help millions of sufferers to live a "normal" and non-disabling lifestyle.

Senses
Lesson Steps

Adapted from http://www.kenbakerbooks.com/lessonplansenses.htm

Materials needed: an interesting photograph, a musical instrument, a piece of sandpaper, a soft piece of material, perfume, a piece of candy for each child, enough copies of the five senses handout for each child (http://www.kenbakerbooks.com/lessonplansenses.pdf), Brave Little Monster Book by Ken Baker.

This lesson plan helps children to explore each of the five senses and to label them correctly.

The teacher will pick up each object and explain how it helps with each of the five senses. The teacher will explain how each of the senses works to tell us something about our world. For instance, the sense of sight tells us about everything that they see, give examples. The sense of hearing helps us to distinguish sounds such as music such as whispering, singing and laughing. Touch helps us to determine how things feel, including when something is wrong like pain, heat or cold. Smell tells….

keeping up with the rest of the students, probably because of some disabilities. In this case, the students love taking risks, but all this is limited by the physical disability of epilepsy. It is crucial that the teacher comes up with differentiated methods of study for her if there is a chance of educating her normally. Differentiated studies should not be taken as a burden to the instructor because it offers some benefits in the end. For one, student will have the ability to focus on one area of expertise that she feels is best and most suitable (Mel 2005). A telling example is in a social studies class where the expectation is that the student will learn a few concepts on geography and history. If the teacher offers to differentiate instructions for this girl, then she can focus on her own area while at the same time learning….

Behavioral Psychology
The main link between the brain and the mind is through the nervous system. It processes information from various regions in the body and transmits it via electrical and chemical signals. The study of the relationship that the brain has on the mind, consciousness and behavior is called behavioral psychology. Decades ago, scientists would use electrodes to stimulate various regions of the brain to understand how it affected the body. Today psychologists use modern radiological techniques to understand mental processes and behaviorism in diseases ranging from Huntington to Epilepsy. (Nobus, 2000)

Although many interesting stories and interpretations have led to the evolution of biological psychology, a great contribution to this field was made by the famous psychologist, Signmund Freud.

Sigmund Freud was born in 1856 and spent most of his life in Vienna. From early on in life, Freud had a strong inclination towards human concerns, and even though, under the….

physiological perspective, the first trimester of pregnancy is when the majority of fetal development occurs, and also when the full development of the placenta occurs. The first twelve weeks or so after conception see the transformation of a fertilized egg cell into a fetus that shares blood flow with the placenta through the umbilical arteries and vein. As a result, these twelve weeks are particularly crucial for the health and development of the fetus at its most vulnerable stage. Among numerous other physiological changes, the mother's nutritional intake needs (which include vitamins and minerals) increase substantially, so nutrition is crucial. The avoidance of alcohol is necessary to avoid birth defects caused by the substance: as Blackburn notes, "drinking alcohol at any stage of pregnancy can affect the brain and other areas of development" (Blackburn 2007, 221).

Abstract Cannabis contains more than one hundred and twenty distinct chemical compounds known collectively as cannabinoids. One of those canabinoids is cannabidol, commonly abbreviated and referred to as CBD. While CBD has no psychoactive properties, it may be beneficial for treating specific medical conditions including chronic pain. CBD can be used orally or topically. In its topical form, CBD is typically added to a carrier oil. Topical applications of CBD oils include the management of pain due to arthritis and inflammation. Research continues to mount suggesting the additional benefits of oral administration of CBD to treat epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and anxiety. Because CBD does not produce known side effects, euphoric or otherwise, it has also garnered attention for its relative safety especially vis-a-vis its sister compounds found in cannabis. CBD also presents tremendous opportunities for market-related growth in the budding international cannabis industry.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many….

Freeman's work, however, advanced the understanding of the human brain in ways that probably helped pharmaceutical companies develop pharmacological interventions for people suffering from mental illness.
Long past its mythological place in the history of mankind and medicine, epilepsy continued to be perceived by many in very medieval terms; as the possession of a person by the devil, demonic possession, and, by some, as a form of mental illness (Szasz 117). Sir John Russell Reynolds (1828-196) was one of the earliest physicians to observe and conclude that people suffering from epilepsy were not necessarily suffering from a mental disorder or even possession by demonic monsters (117-118). Many psychiatrists and mental health experts, however, continued to look at epilepsy as a mental impairment (117-119). From 1890 to 1940 people suffering from epilepsy were "colonized" into institutional settings for the mentally ill, and treated for their seizures with a variety of drugs….

Pissarro took a special interest in his attempts at painting, emphasizing that he should 'look for the nature that suits your temperament', and in 1876 Gauguin had a landscape in the style of Pissarro accepted at the Salon. In the meantime Pissarro had introduced him to Cezanne, for whose works he conceived a great respect-so much so that the older man began to fear that he would steal his 'sensations'. All three worked together for some time at Pontoise, where Pissarro and Gauguin drew pencil sketches of each other (Cabinet des Dessins, Louvre).
Gauguin settled for a while in ouen, painting every day after the bank he worked at closed.

Ultimately, he returned to Paris, painting in Pont-Aven, a well-known resort for artists.

To a culture that didn't use calendars, giving a certain medicine at a certain hour of the day was incomprehensible. Neil and Peggy didn't consider that a somewhat less effective, but easier-to-follow drug regimen may have been better given the state of affairs. Instead, the estern idea of doing as much as medically possible for as long as medically possible prevailed. hen Nao Kao and Foua failed to comply, Neil and Peggy viewed them as unable or unwilling to follow what was to them, directions that could save Lia's life. If Neil and Peggy had asked Nao Kao and Foua why they didn't comply, perhaps a productive dialog could have been created. hen the author asked Peggy and Neil about it, they said that they had had no idea that Nao Kao and Foua would even consider traditional medicine, because they looked so Americanized.

The Role of Dental Profiling in Historical Mysteries

Dental profiling is a specialized forensic technique that analyzes dental characteristics to identify individuals. It has proven invaluable in solving historical mysteries, contributing to the resolution of cold cases and shedding light on historical figures.

Identification of Unknown Remains

Dental profiling has played a pivotal role in identifying unknown remains, particularly in cases where traditional identification methods such as DNA analysis are inconclusive or unavailable. In 1994, the remains of Tsar Nicholas II and his family were identified using dental analysis, as the dental records of the family were meticulously maintained.
