Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

920
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Electroconvulsive Therapy

437
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

117
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Adolescent Medicine
  • Healthcare Transition

Background:

  • Adolescents with epilepsy face unique challenges during the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare.
  • Scheduled admissions to the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) have not been fully leveraged for transition education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore enhancing transition education for adolescents with epilepsy by using scheduled EMU admissions.
  • To assess the impact of structured transition education on patient knowledge and provider perspectives.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 21 neurology providers on transition process perspectives.
  • Administered pre- and post-tests to 35 adolescent patients (12-20 years) on health knowledge.
  • Utilized an electronic health record (EHR) transition flowsheet for communication.

Main Results:

  • 100% of adolescent patients demonstrated increased knowledge post-education.
  • Providers showed increased knowledge and support for transition tools and guidelines.

Conclusions:

  • Providing transition education within the EMU setting is feasible.
  • Shared responsibility between inpatient and ambulatory providers is key for successful healthcare transition.
