Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

230
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

86
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Clinical Decision Support

Background:

  • Epilepsy diagnosis and therapy guidelines require translation into computable formats.
  • Existing knowledge bases may lack transparency and ease of understanding for clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a transparent knowledge representation model for epilepsy guidelines.
  • To facilitate the creation of executable and computable knowledge bases for decision-support systems.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a plain table format for knowledge representation.
  • Implementing simple reasoning within the frontend software code.
  • Ensuring the model's transparency for technical implementation and verification.

Main Results:

  • A transparent knowledge representation model was successfully developed.
  • Knowledge is represented in a simple, comprehensible table format.
  • The model supports technical implementation and verification for decision-support systems.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed model effectively transforms epilepsy guidelines into a usable knowledge base.
  • The transparent and simple structure enhances usability for both technical and clinical users.
  • This approach supports the development of effective clinical decision-support systems for epilepsy management.
