What are the disordes of the nervous system?
One of the nervous system disorders is Epilepsy which causes seizures when there is a lack of glucose and oxygen in the brain. Others include: Alzheimer's disease Bell's palsy Cerebral palsy
Can syncope cause seizures?
Syncope is a loss of consciousness or fainting, sometimes caused by lack of oxygen to the brain, but is different to Epilepsy. Seizures in Epilepsy are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. So Syncope would not be a cause of seizures.
How does lack of oxygen to the brain cause seizures?
When the brain is deprived of oxygen, it cannot function properly, leading to an imbalance in the electrical activity of the brain. This can trigger abnormal neuronal firing, resulting in seizures. Seizures are a sign of brain dysfunction and can occur as a response to the stress caused by lack of oxygen.
How is the epilepsy acquired?
it sometimes might run in the family or it could be the result of some type of head injury or lack of oxygen to the brain during the time of birth
How do you get rid of your epilepsy?
i have found that epilepsy in kids can be related to fat allergy. sulfur deficiency can lead to fat allergy. lack of nutrients absorption causes some changes in brain and chemical communication therefore epilepsy seizure shows up again. we need to increase food intakes with mineral sulfur ingredients such as BEET , onion, cranberries , eggs
How much oxygen and glucose can the brain store for emergency situations?
The brain cannot store oxygen. A person can feel a lack of oxygen after only a few seconds. When someone stands up too quickly and becomes dizzy, this is an example of the loss of blood flow to the brain that can be sensed.The brain cannot store glucose (blood sugar). Diabetics who give themselves too much insulin can drop their blood sugar level and faint, and without immediate glucose infusion the brain can die.
Do diabetics lack glucose?
No they lack insulin in the pancreas
What can trigger a seizure in a person with epilepsy?
Epilepsy is not a specific illness, but more a general term for people who tend to have seizures. A seizure is as a result of an increased amount of electrical activity in the brain. There are different forms of epilepsy and different people have different triggers for their seizures. Something that may trigger epilepsy in one person might have no affect on another person. You often hear that flashing lights, strobe lights etc. cause epileptic seizures. That only has the potential to trigger a seizure with people who have what is called photosensitive epilepsy. Other people who have epilepsy have abslolutely no porblems with flashing lights. For other people it could be tiredness or stress for example. Some may have epilepsy after receiving a head injury, like if they had been in a car accident. There are many other reasons. For some it isn't even certain what causes their seizures.
What manifestations can be expected when adequate levels of glucose are unavailable for energy source for the brain?
When adequate levels of glucose are unavailable for the brain, individuals may experience symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Severe deficiency can lead to more serious manifestations like seizures, loss of consciousness, and even coma. The brain, being highly dependent on glucose for energy, can suffer impaired cognitive function and neurological disturbances in such conditions. Additionally, prolonged lack of glucose can result in long-term cognitive deficits.
How does drip of glocose help patient to recover?
glucose in the body is maintained at a constant level. When there is a depletion in this level, a person can go unconscìous because of inadequate glucose supply to the brain. Administration of glucose increase glucose supply to the brain and recover such patients.
How do you get a retarded brain?
You were either born with it (due to genetics), or you have suffered some kind of brain injury as a result of trauma or lack of Oxygen. Even people with dementia and Traumatic Brain Injury later in life can resemble someone who's "retarded". Personally, I prefer the term "mentally disabled".
What are some causes of epilepsy?
There is no single cause. Epilepsy is a name for a broad category of causes of seizures or fits or convulsions. What causes seizures differs for different people. Some things that causes a seizure for one person may have no effect on another. Common causes can be tiredness, stress, a brain injury, flashing lights, hunger, alcohol and many other things.
