Once a patient receives a complete diagnosis of epilepsy, it is time to start considering treatment options. Individuals with epilepsy, adherence to medication is crucial in preventing or minimizing seizures and their increasing impact on everyday life. Some patients with epilepsy have special medications to cope with their seizures, some have to go under surgery and others do not know where to begin. The Medical Model assumes that once the medication plan is recommend by the doctor it is then the responsibility of the patient with epilepsy to follow it. The appropriate choice of medication varies depending on seizure type.…
Part Two: Diagnosis and Treatment 7. What is myelin and how does it affect the transmission of nerve impulses? Identify the cells responsible for the formation of myelin. Covering some axons is a multilayered lipid and protein called myelin sheath, this helps to insulate the axon and speed up nerve impulses. (Tortora pg. 407)…
He has showed signs of decreasing consciousness overnight. The scenario takes place on Wednesday at 0645. During this scenario, students will have the opportunity to manage and implement nursing interventions for a pediatric patient experiencing a seizure. Phase 1: T = 98.6 F (37 C) BP = 90/50 P = 120 RR = rate irregular,…
Excerpt from Brain Jack by Brian Falkner: “‘Why suddenly self-destruct when you’ve already won?’” (165). I chose this excerpt because of its simplistic but yet meaningful message. It conveys a message to people who are having or hardships or issues within their life. It basically means that a person should not become stressed out or depressed about issues because in the eventually, that person is going to succeed.…
There is a member of the women’s soccer team that has an undiagnosed exercised induced disease. She has been to a vast amount of doctors and the only thing they have been able to do is to rule out seizures. Although, seizures may have been rules out she still presents with very seizure-like symptoms when it happens. She starts by losing cognitive function and no one is able to get her to respond to his or her attempts at getting her attention. She also has a tendency during this stage to start hitting her legs, in the belief that this somehow will help or just a twitch that comes with the episode.…
How much of our life do we really have control over? This topic is covered in The Magic of the Unconscious: Automatic Brain which contemplates just how much humans are actually aware of and how much we genuinely decide. The video goes into an in-depth analysis of the automatic brain. It shows just how complicated the many processes the human brain goes through each day, in fact at every second. Humans are immensely unaware of how powerful and controlling the automatic brain is.…
3.1.1 ERG One of the first reports of using ERG tracing was in 1988, where the oscillatory potentials (low amplitude, high frequency wavelets present on the ascending part of the b-wave, were looked at as a marker for dopaminergic disease. No difference was found in schizophrenic patients (N=12) versus the control group (N=9). The next ERG study was in 1992. While they did not find a significant difference in ERG tracing between their schizophrenia patients (N=9) versus their control group (N=13), they did notice a decreased cone b-wave in 6 of their schizophrenia patients with a history of sun gazing.…

1. Introduction Let us say that a phenomenal quality or concept, as I will use the terms interchangeably, is “a feature of a conscious state that is notable introspectively, ostensively, as that aspect of the state, the way it feels, appears, etc.” (Loar, 81). The knowledge argument objects to physicalism through establishing conscious experiences as having non-physical properties. In “Epiphenomenal Qualia”, Frank Jackson proposes a thought experiment in which a brilliant neuroscientist named Mary is “forced to investigate the world from a black and white room via a black and white television monitor” (Jackson, 275).…
Electroconvulsive Therapy among depressed patients: argumentative essay Introduction and Background Electroconvulsive therapy is controversial issue and had ethical issue since its discovery about its practice over the world and that vary from country to another, whereas it has unknown mechanism of action and adverse effect, so there is ethical dilemma to practice in the world whereas, that used to treat depression prior discovery of pharmacotherapy , on the other hand had legal and ethical basis that should approved to apply. Health care providers should respect patient’s rights and autonomy and other ethical principles; Also use legalized procedure and informed consent. ECT is non-pharmacological…
High level processing happens in the sophisticated parts of the brain that take neural computations from the sensory receptors. High level processing brings everything together where the brain come to an understanding of form and content. It is high level processing that puts together three letters such as C.A.T., so that you can read CAT to generate a mental image of what the word means. Low level processing happens in the peripheral part of the brain. Low level refers to building block attributes of a sensory stimulus.…
