Seizures

The seizure usually lasts less than 10 seconds but may be as long as one minute.

No. A seizure is a functional result of brain activity. CT scans look at the structure of the brain - what does it look like, rather than what is it doing.

Epilepsy has many causes. Only a doctor who can examine the infant and talk to those who have seen their seizures can have an indication of what the problem might be.

In systemic lupus, the immune system can attack any part or system of the body. If the person's immune system attacks their own central nervous system the results can include seizures, personality changes, depression, neuropathy, cognitive problems (difficulty thinking or remembering), and psychosis.

A grand mal seizure has more impact on the body generally, so it is more likely to affect bladder control, though that will not necessarily happen.

Conscription (drafting them). During the Vietnam War men were taken in belly chains via the US Marshall Service to holding tanks at the Oakland Army Depot in Oakand CA (across the bay from San Franciso). Other men could be seen sitting in chains on the cement steps of various Federal Court buildings awaiting their trials. These groups numbered in their dozens.

Everyone's body is different. Some have found the drink had a calming affect on their seizures. It is possible that they had an electrolyte imbalance which reduced their seizure threshold and the drink helped to settle that imbalance. It may simply be a fix for a dehydration issue which could also have been a seizure trigger.

I would be very cautious about this drink if artificial colors are a seizure trigger for a given individual. I would also be concerned if sugar was a trigger. The drink has plenty of both substances and many seizure disorder sufferers are set off by artificial color and sugar.

sometimes it can be from bright flashing lights or colors.

Yes, EMTs are trained to handle people with seizures.

I certainly can. People with seizure histories should not take it. Everyone should start with a small dose & build up slowly to be sure Welbutrin does not cause seizures in you.

It works great for me -- but you are not me.

No but can cause other serious side effects like blood clots, strokes, pulmonary embolism.

I was doing a report on Siberian huskies. And seizures are common in Siberian Huskies. [But not good for their health]

Yes. Any age of onset is possible. (Disease and injury are the chief culprits @ that age).

calm it. It probably has gotten frightened. Try to comfort it the best way you can by: humming, carrying it, petting it, pretending to purr....may sound strange, but it could work! If it still is acting strange, than it may have a seizure. If so, than take it to the vet would be my advise.

Depends entirely on the type of berry. Whilst not a berry, grapes and raisins are highly toxic to dogs and have killed many of them.

My dog had seizures before she passed. In animals it can be common. But if these seizures Increase, I would recommend a vet

I believe it is 'asimiento'. I'm not sure, but I think that's it.

Complex partial seizures are hard to detect because they have normal human attributes, such as moving around and having the eyes open. However, if someone were to ask a simple question and get a very odd response or no response at all and the suspect seems to have very little control of his or her actions, this could be indicative of a complex partial seizure.

It depends what happens be what type of seizure you have. With some you might just turn your head but with others you might fall on the ground.

the answer is 'rapine' rapine is the answer.

That depends. Generally when a person has a seizure it tends to be a Grand Mal seizure which is the total loss of muscle function, which means they also lose control of their vocal chords and the muscles that control them. Some people have partial seizures that only affect one or more parts of their body and they are very responsive. However there are other types of partial seizures called Complex Parial seizures that do affect the brain but don't cause the twitching that you see in most seizures, but they are totally unresponsive. Those are the most common, but there are many other types of seizures that are not very common. I hope that answers your question!

So far as we know at this stage, there is no relationshipbetween absence seizures Previously known Petit Mal Seizures as found with epilepsy, and RA

Seizure is a clinical event in which there is disturbance of the normal neurological function of the brain , this disturbance is caused as a result of abnormal or excessive neuronal discharge.

Seizure can therefore be divided into :

1-"NON EPILEPTIC SEIZURES" e.g ; febrile seizure in which this abnormal firing is triggered by fever.

2-"EPILEPTIC SEIZURES" ; recurrent seizures over time , in the absence of an acute cerebral insult , such as fever or acute brain injury.

Epilepsy is the underlying tendency of the brain to produce bursts of electrical impulses that disrupts other brain function , therefore a person with a single seizure doesn't mean he has epilepsy .

Epilepsy is caused by a genetic or chronic condition in the brain such as neurodegenerative disorder or a cerebral tumour,

a person with epilepsy has lower threshold for developing seizure , thus :

"Epilepsy is recurrent seizures due to a chronic condition rather than an acute cerebral insult"

"Convulsions are the abnormal involuntary contractions of muscles , that occur due to the rapid brain firing that occurs in seizures , whether they are epileptic or not"

No they don't.
