Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde, a epilepsia – doença neurológica caracterizada por uma alteração temporária do funcionamento do cérebro – afeta cerca de 50 milhões de pessoas no mundo. Um dos sintomas mais conhecidos são as crises convulsivas, mas não só, a doença pode apresentar outras formas de manifestação, às vezes sutis, o que pode incorrer em um atraso de diagnóstico.Neste episódio do podcast de Biotech and Health, Camila Pepe e Carolina Abelin recebem o neurologista João Brainer para falar sobre como o uso de novas tecnologias e inteligência artificial estão ganhando espaço como ferramentas relevantes para analisar eletroencefalogramas, reconhecer padrões de crises e ajudar na identificação de possíveis eventos epilépticos.#ORIGINHealth #MITTechReviewBR #Podcast #Videocast

Rafael García, cofundador del movimiento 1IN25 y padre de una niña con epilepsia, tardó siete días en correr desde Sídney a Camberra. A su llegada, entregó al Senado una petición formal exigiendo más apoyo para las familias que viven con epilepsia en Australia, una condición que afecta a uno de cada veinticinco australianos y que, por sí sola, no está reconocida como discapacidad en el sistema nacional NDIS.Escucha SBS Spanish / Australia en español:Por radio o Internet 7 días a la semana de 1:00 a 2:pm (AEST)Escucha también por Apple Podcasts, Spotify y YoutubeExplora nuestra extensa collección de podcasts haciendo clic aquíEn redes: síguenos en Facebook e Instagram.

Março roxo: mês de conscientização sobre a epilepsia by Folha de Pernambuco

O 'Doa a Quem Doer' esteve na cidade de Coimbra onde o rio Mondego assustou durante dias a população que receavam ficar sem casa. O programa desta semana revela, ainda, as histórias de quem perdeu tudo devido ao mau tempo.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo comentan asuntos de la actualidad y traen las mejores recomendaciones culturales. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Día Mundial de la Epilepsia Hoy lunes 9 de febrero, Día Mundial de la Epilepsia, aprovechamos la ocasión para conocer más detalles sobre esta enfermedad y saber cómo actuar adecuadamente. Las Sociedades de Medicina de Urgencias y Emergencias (SEMES), la Española de Epilepsia (SEEP) y la Española de Neurología (SEN), llevan años insistiendo en implantar un ‘Código crisis' que sirva para actuar con rapidez ante los episodios epilépticos, tal y como como ocurre en los casos del ictus o del infarto. Una pautas que pueden resultar absolutamente claves para minimizar las secuelas. En crisis epilépticas graves, cada minuto de retraso en el tratamiento supone aumentar un 5 % de riesgo de secuelas neurológicas y de mortalidad. Son datos difundidos por SEMES, entidad sin ánimo de lucro que engloba a médicos, enfermeros y técnicos de Urgencias y Emergencias Sanitarias. También destaca que, en España, hay medio millón de personas con epilepsia, una enfermedad neurológica de la que se detectan, cada año, cerca de 20.000 nuevos casos, y que afecta sobre todo a niños y a mayores de 65 años. Entrevistamos a Javier Morillo, miembro del comité de Enfermería de Urgencias y Emergencias de SEMES y enfermero de SAMUR - Protección Civil. Debut de Sofía Val en los JJOO de Invierno Este fin de semana han arrancado en Milán los JJOO de Invierno.

Esta misma tarde, a partir de la siete, debuta una madrileña que, con 21 años, ha conseguido junto con su compañero, Asaf Kazimov, una plaza en la modalidad de danza en patinaje sobre hielo. Es una delicia verlos patinar juntos. Su delicadeza, su técnica y precisión han hecho posible alcanzar el sueño de cualquier deportista. Detrás, horas de entrenamientos, miles de repeticiones y otros tantos sacrificios personales y familiares. El objetivo disfrutar y, aunque la final se antoja difícil, ellos van a salir a por todas. Entrevistamos a la patinadora Sofía Val.

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are common, often misunderstood, and increasingly encountered in pediatric emergency care. These events closely resemble epileptic seizures but arise from abnormal brain network functioning rather than epileptiform activity. In this episode of PEM Currents, we review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical features of PNES in children and adolescents, with a practical focus on Emergency Department recognition, diagnostic strategy, and management. Particular emphasis is placed on seizure semiology, avoiding iatrogenic harm, communicating the diagnosis compassionately, and understanding how early identification and referral to cognitive behavioral therapy can dramatically improve long-term outcomes. Learning Objectives Identify key epidemiologic trends, risk factors, and semiological features that help differentiate psychogenic nonepileptic seizures from epileptic seizures in pediatric patients presenting to the Emergency Department. Apply an evidence-based Emergency Department approach to the evaluation and initial management of suspected PNES, including strategies to avoid unnecessary escalation of care and medication exposure. Demonstrate effective, patient- and family-centered communication techniques for explaining the diagnosis of PNES and facilitating timely referral to appropriate outpatient therapy.

Welcome to PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast. As always, I'm your host, Brad Sobolewski, and today we are talking about psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, or PNES. Now, this is a diagnosis that often creates a lot of uncertainty in the Emergency Department. These episodes can be very scary for families and caregivers and schools. And if we mishandle the diagnosis, it can lead to unnecessary testing, medication exposure, ICU admissions, and long-term harm. This episode's gonna focus on how to recognize PNES in pediatric patients, how we make the diagnosis, what the evidence says about management and outcomes, and how what we do and what we say in the Emergency Department directly affects patients, families, and prognosis. Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures are paroxysmal events that resemble epileptic seizures but occur without epileptiform EEG activity. They're now best understood as a subtype of functional neurological symptom disorder, specifically functional or dissociative seizures. Historically, these events were commonly referred to as pseudo-seizures, and that term still comes up frequently in the ED, in documentation, and sometimes from families themselves. The problem is that pseudo implies false, fake, or voluntary, and that implication is incorrect and harmful. These episodes are real, involuntary, and distressing, even though they're not epileptic. Preferred terminology includes psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, or PNES, functional seizures, or dissociative seizures. And PNES is not a diagnosis of exclusion, and it does not require identification of psychological trauma or psychiatric disease. The diagnosis is based on positive clinical features, ideally supported by video-EEG, and management begins with clear, compassionate communication. The overall incidence of PNES shows a clear increase over time, particularly from the late 1990s through the mid-2010s. This probably reflects improved recognition and access to diagnostic services, though a true increase in occurrence can't be excluded. Comorbidity with epilepsy is really common and clinically important. Fourteen to forty-six percent of pediatric patients with PNES also have epilepsy, which frequently complicates diagnosis and contributes to diagnostic delay. Teenagers account for the highest proportion of patients with PNES, especially 15- to 19-year-olds. Surprisingly, kids under six are about one fourth of all cases, so it's not just teenagers. We often make the diagnosis of PNES in epilepsy monitoring units. So among children undergoing video-EEG, about 15 to 19 percent may ultimately be diagnosed with PNES. And paroxysmal non-epileptic events in tertiary epilepsy monitoring units account for about 15 percent of all monitored patients. Okay, but what is PNES? Well, it's best understood as a disorder of abnormal brain network functioning. It's not structural disease. The core mechanisms at play include altered attention and expectation, impaired integration of motor control and awareness, and dissociation during events. So the patients are not necessarily aware that this is happening. Psychological and psychosocial features are common but not required for diagnosis and may be less prevalent in pediatric populations as compared with adults. So PNES is a brain-based disorder. It's not conscious behavior, it's not malingering, and it's not under voluntary control. Children and adolescents with PNES have much higher rates of psychiatric comorbidities and psychosocial stressors compared to both healthy controls and children with epilepsy alone. Psychiatric disorders are present in about 40 percent of pediatric PNES patients, both before and after the diagnosis. Anxiety is seen in 58 percent, depression in 31 percent, and ADHD in 35 percent. Compared to kids with epilepsy, the risk of psychiatric disorders in PNES is nearly double. Compared to healthy controls, it is up to eight times higher. And there's a distinct somatopsychiatric profile that strongly predicts diagnosis of PNES. This includes multiple medical complaints, psychiatric symptoms, high anxiety sensitivity, and solitary emotional coping. This profile, if you've got all four of them, carries an odds ratio of 15 for PNES. Comorbid epilepsy occurs in 14 to 23 percent of pediatric PNES cases, and it's associated with intellectual disability and prolonged diagnostic delay. And finally, across all demographic strata, anxiety is the most consistent predictor of PNES. Making the diagnosis is really hard. It really depends on a careful history and detailed analysis of the events. There's no single feature that helps us make the diagnosis. So some of the features of the spells or events that have high specificity for PNES include long duration, so typically greater than three minutes, fluctuating or asynchronous limb movements, pelvic thrusting or side-to-side head movements, ictal eye closure, often with resisted eyelid opening, ictal crying or vocalization, recall of ictal events, and rare association with injury. Younger children often present with unresponsiveness. Adolescents more commonly demonstrate prominent motor symptoms. In pediatric cohorts, we most frequently see rhythmic motor activity in about 27 percent, and complex motor movements and dialeptic events in approximately 18 percent each. Features that argue against PNES include sustained cyanosis with hypoxia, true lateral tongue biting, stereotyped events that are identical each time, clear postictal confusion or lethargy, and obviously epileptic EEG changes during the events themselves. Now there are some additional historical and contextual clues that can help us make the diagnosis as well. If the events occur in the presence of others, if they occur during stressful situations, if there are psychosocial stressors or trauma history, a lack of response to antiepileptic drugs, or the absence of postictal confusion, this may suggest PNES. Lower socioeconomic status, Medicaid insurance, homelessness, and substance use are also associated with PNES risk. While some of these features increase suspicion, again, video-EEG remains the diagnostic gold standard. We do not have video-EEG in the ED. But during monitoring, typical events are ideally captured and epileptiform activity is not seen on the EEG recording. Video-EEG is not feasible for every single diagnosis. You can make a probable PNES diagnosis with a very accurate clinical history, a vivid description of the signs and appearance of the events, and reassuring interictal EEG findings. Normal labs and normal imaging do not make the diagnosis. Psychiatric comorbidities are not required. The diagnosis, again, rests on positive clinical features. If the patient can't be placed on video-EEG in a monitoring unit, and if they have an EEG in between events and it's normal, that can be supportive as well. So what if you have a patient with PNES in the Emergency Department? Step one, stabilize airway, breathing, circulation. Take care of the patient in front of you and keep them safe. Use seizure pads and precautions and keep them from falling off the bed or accidentally injuring themselves. A family member or another team member can help with this. Avoid reflexively escalating. If you are witnessing a PNES event in front of you, and if they're protecting their airway, oxygenating, and hemodynamically stable, avoid repeated benzodiazepines. Avoid intubating them unless clearly indicated, and avoid reflexively loading them with antiseizure medications such as levetiracetam or valproic acid. Take a focused history. You've gotta find out if they have a prior epilepsy diagnosis. Have they had EEGs before? What triggered today's event? Do they have a psychiatric history? Does the patient have school stressors or family conflict? And then is there any recent illness or injury? Only order labs and imaging when clinically indicated. EEG is not widely available in the Emergency Department. We definitely shouldn't say things like, “this isn't a real seizure,” or use outdated terms like pseudo-seizure. Don't say it's all psychological, and please do not imply that the patient is faking. If you see a patient and you think it's PNES, you're smart, you're probably right, but don't promise diagnostic certainty at first presentation. Remember, a sizable proportion of these patients actually do have epilepsy, and referring them to neurology and getting definitive testing can really help clarify the diagnosis. Communication errors, especially early on, worsen outcomes. One of the most difficult things is actually explaining what's going on to families and caregivers. So here's a suggestion. You could say something like: “What your child is experiencing looks like a seizure, but it's not caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Instead, it's what we call a functional seizure, where the brain temporarily loses control of movement and awareness. These episodes are real and involuntary. The good news is that this condition is treatable, especially when we address it early.” The core treatment of PNES is CBT-based psychotherapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy. That's the standard of care. Typical treatment involves 12 to 14 sessions focused on identifying triggers, modifying maladaptive cognitions, and building coping strategies. Almost two thirds of patients achieve full remission with treatment. About a quarter achieve partial remission. Combined improvement rates reach up to 90 percent at 12 months. Additional issues that neurologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists often face include safe tapering of antiseizure medications when epilepsy has been excluded, treatment of comorbid anxiety or depression, coordinating care between neurology and mental health professionals, and providing education for schools on event management. Schools often witness these events and call prehospital professionals who want to keep patients safe. Benzodiazepines are sometimes given, exposing patients to additional risk. This requires health system-level and outpatient collaboration. Overall, early diagnosis and treatment of PNES is critical. Connection to counseling within one month of diagnosis is the strongest predictor of remission. PNES duration longer than 12 months before treatment significantly reduces the likelihood of remission. Video-EEG confirmation alone does not predict positive outcomes. Not every patient needs admission to a video-EEG unit. Quality of communication and speed of treatment, especially CBT-based therapy, matter the most. Overall, the prognosis for most patients with PNES is actually quite favorable. There are sustained reductions in events along with improvements in mental health comorbidities. Quality of life and psychosocial functioning improve, and patients use healthcare services less frequently. So here are some take-home points about psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, or PNES. Pseudo-seizure and similar terms are outdated and misleading. Do not use them. PNES are real, involuntary, brain-based events. Diagnosis relies on positive clinical features, what the events look like and when they happen, not normal lab tests or CT scans. Early recognition and diagnosis, and rapid referral to cognitive behavioral therapy, change patients' lives. If you suspect PNES, get neurology and mental health professionals involved as soon as possible. Alright, that's all I've got for this episode. I hope you found it educational. Having seen these events many times over the years, I recognize how scary they can be for families, schools, and our prehospital colleagues. It's up to us to think in advance about how we're going to talk to patients and families and develop strategies to help children who are suffering from PNES events. If you've got feedback about this episode, send it my way. Likewise, like, rate, and review, as my teenagers would say, and share this episode with a colleague if you think it would be beneficial.

Send comments and feedbackSomatic genetic epilepsies arise from mutations that occur early in fetal development. They are usually only detectable by genetic sequencing of tissue. For these epilepsies, the timing of the mutation is key: For example, research has shown that focal cortical dysplasia type IIB and hemimegaloencephaly are genetically the same disease, but arise from somatic mutations at different developmental time points. This relatively new area of research is discussed by Dr. Alina Ivaniuk and Dr. Christian Bosselmann.Resources:Analysis of 1,386 epileptogenic brain lesions reveals association with DYRK1A and EGFR (Nature Communications 2024 - C.

Send comments and feedbackIn a retrospective study of 31 patients with highly refractory epilepsy, 29% had more than a 50% reduction in seizures for at least 12 months after being treated with immunotherapy. Three of these patients became seizure free. Other than a trend toward a diagnosis of focal epilepsy, researchers did not identify any specific features predictive of treatment response. Sharp Waves spoke with the first author about the study and its implications.The study was published in Epilepsia in April 2025.

Fala gente, tudo certinho? Hoje teremos aquela seleção de relatos sobrenaturais que vocês gostam, boa diversão!

Teresa Paiva é médica neurologista e a maior referência portuguesa em medicina do sono. É doutorada em Neurologia e, para além de uma vastíssima investigação científica nesta área, tem também prática clínica, no CENC — Centro de Medicina do Sono, onde é diretora clínica. Falámos a propósito do seu livro mais recente, ‘O Meu Sono e Eu — Mitos e Factos‘, publicado este ano pela Livros Horizonte. _______________ Índice (com timestamps): (0:00) Introdução (4:40) Porque dormem os seres-vivos? Como dormem os lagartos? E os polvos? Sono bifásico na Idade Média (19:58) Ritmo circadiano e cronotipos | É verdade que há diferentes cronotipos? | Desafios de ser noctívago | Cronotipo vs atraso de fase | A importância da exposição à luz solar. (33:56) Sesta — como fazer? | Quais são os processos biológicos no corpo que regulam o sono? (41:14) Que erros andamos a cometer que nos fazem dormir mal? | Porque dormimos menos que os chimpanzés? | É possível recuperar sono perdido? (46:04) O Mundo de hoje vive numa epidemia de falta de sono — particularmente em Portugal? | ‘Sleep patterns in Portugal’, tese de Cátia Reis | Estudo impacto da falta de sono no PIB | consequências concretas (pedir estudo e enviar o outro) | Ou será que dormimos menos mas melhor do que antigamente? (57:09) Fases do sono: REM e não-REM? | Pintainhos sono REM | Porque sonho mais nas férias? | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7839702/ (1:11:42) Para que servem os sonhos? | Apesar das diferenças culturais e individuais, temos todos sonhos parecidos | Porque nos esquecemos dos sonhos? (1:15:20) “Sleep hacks” — algum vale a pena? | Suplementos? Benzodiazepina (Xanax) | Neuromodulação não invasiva como terapia para a insónia (1:28:37) Doenças do sono: insónias, apneias, doenças do movimento, sonambulismo, terrores noturnos, epilepsia, transtornos do sono REM, alterações circadianas. _______________ O acto de dormir é tão essencial quanto comer ou respirar, e, no entanto, tantas vezes o subestimamos ou relegamos para segundo plano nas nossas vidas agitadas. Quem nunca disse: “Dormirei quando estiver morto”? Mas a verdade é que o sono é fundamental para a nossa saúde física e mental e é um dos pilares do nosso bem-estar. Talvez até alguns de vocês, ao ouvirem este episódio, estejam a pensar em quantas horas de sono conseguiram na noite anterior ou quantas gostariam de ter tido. Para nos ajudar a compreender melhor a Ciência do Sono, convidei a médica Teresa Paiva, a grande referência portuguesa na medicina do sono (e alguém que, como digo na introdução, há muito queria trazer ao 45 Graus). A convidada tem uma vastíssima investigação nesta área e uma extensa prática clínica. Falámos a propósito do seu livro mais recente, ‘O Meu Sono e Eu — Mitos e Factos’. Na nossa conversa, começámos pela intrigante questão de por que dormem os seres vivos, incluindo animais tão distantes de nós evolutivamente, como os polvos; e mergulhámos nos ritmos circadianos, incluindo o estranho hábito medieval de dormir dois sonos, acordando de madrugada para voltar a deitar-se umas horas depois, e os desafios – estes contemporâneos – de ser um noctívago num mundo dominado pelos matutinos. Exploramos também os prós e contras da sesta e os erros mais comuns que cometemos, e que comprometem a quantidade e a qualidade do nosso sono. Ou será que a maior causa da nossa falta de sono não somos nós, mas antes um problema maior, estrutural dos tempos actuais: uma “epidemia” de falta de sono causada pelo acelerar da economia e pela overdose de estímulos? As estatísticas sugerem que isto é uma realidade, no Mundo desenvolvido e particularmente em Portugal. A convidada defende esta tese, e certamente que no mundo ideal a maioria de nós dormiria mais horas por noite. Mas tentei também fazer um pouco de advogado do diabo em relação a este tema (como já estão habituados no 45 Graus). Sendo o sono uma necessidade tão básica, fico com algumas dúvidas se é possível uma privação de sono tão sistémica. De seguida, voltando à ciência do sono propriamente dita, desvendámos os mistérios das fases do sono e o fascinante mundo dos sonhos. E para aqueles que procuram formas de otimizar o sono, perguntei à convidada a sua opinião sobre os populares ‘sleep hacks’ e até que ponto eles realmente funcionam.

En Más de uno hablamos de la epilepsia con Andrea Lozano, una mujer que sufre esta enfermedad, blogger de Lolito Epiléptico y autora del cuento Lolito Infinito. También con Ángel Aledo Serrano, Neurólogo en el Hospital Universitario Vithas Madrid La Milagrosa.

Rincón de la Victoria se suma un año más a la campaña nacional `Un Millón de Pasos por la Epilepsia´ con la celebración de una caminata solidaria el próximo domingo 25 de mayo, con motivo del Día Nacional de la Epilepsia. La acción está organizada por la Asociación Malagueña de Epilepsia (AMADE) y el Área de Bienestar Social del Ayuntamiento, en el marco de la campaña impulsada por la Federación Española de Epilepsia, bajo el lema `Epilepsias: Un futuro esperanzador´. La concejala del Área, Belén Gutiérrez (PP), ha explicado que, “la jornada pretende visibilizar la enfermedad y contribuir a romper el estigma social que aún la rodea. La epilepsia es una enfermedad neurológica, no mental, que requiere de comprensión y apoyo, por ello la concienciación y la educación son clave para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas con epilepsia y sus familias”. Por su parte, el alcalde de Rincón de la Victoria, Francisco Salado (PP), ha destacado la importancia de este tipo de iniciativas “para sensibilizar y dar visibilidad a una enfermedad que afecta a millones de personas en el mundo, además de fomentar la investigación y el desarrollo de nuevos tratamientos y terapias”. Asimismo, ha hecho un llamamiento a la ciudadanía para sumarse a la caminata, “con el objetivo de superar la cifra de casi 200 participantes registrada el año pasado”. La caminata solidaria partirá a las 12:00 horas desde la Plaza Pepe El Boticario, y recorrerá el trayecto hasta el arroyo Granadillas, para regresar posteriormente al punto de partida, donde se celebrará una jornada con actividades lúdicas, música y actuaciones de baile. El presidente de AMADE, Fernando Mendoza, ha señalado la importancia de “dar a conocer las causas, síntomas y tratamientos de la epilepsia para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes, y promover los avances médicos necesarios”. Mendoza ha recordado que “la epilepsia afecta a cerca de 400.000 personas en España, con más de 20.000 nuevos casos diagnosticados cada año”. La epilepsia es una enfermedad neurológica crónica que afecta a más de 50 millones de personas en todo el mundo, y a seis millones en Europa. Se estima que entre el 5% y el 10% de la población podría experimentar una crisis epiléptica en algún momento de su vida, y hasta un 20% podrían presentar crisis recurrentes. La participación en la caminata es gratuita, y las inscripciones pueden realizarse de forma online a través del siguiente enlace: https://forms.gle/Kp4w5r4U3HBTDpQ76 o presencial antes del inicio de la caminata. Para más información, se puede contactar con AMADE a través del teléfono 657 951 847, el correo electrónico info@amadeepilepsia.org, o en la página web: www.amadeepilepsia.org

En este episodio, exploramos junto a la Dra. Vanessa Benjumea el increíble poder de nuestro cerebro y cómo podemos aprender a usarlo a nuestro favor. Vanessa es médica de la Universidad de Antioquia, neuróloga de la Universidad CES y epileptóloga certificada por el Capítulo Latinoamericano de la Liga Internacional contra la Epilepsia. Además, estudió Mindfulness y Compasión en Harvard. Su pasión por el bienestar mental y la neurología la ha llevado a profundizar en la conexión entre la mente y la sanación. Y, por encima de todo, es madre de Antonio y Martina. Hablamos sobre el mindfulness, el origen de los pensamientos y el impacto del trauma transgeneracional. El cerebro cambia frente al trauma, pero también tiene la capacidad de sanarse. Comprender que el trauma no solo nos afecta a nivel individual, sino que puede trascender generaciones, nos muestra la importancia de sanar conscientemente. Además, descubrimos cómo nuestro cerebro puede ser el puente entre nuestros sueños y su manifestación en la realidad. Porque sí, tu cerebro está diseñado para ayudarte a cumplir tus metas. Aprender a reprogramarlo puede marcar la diferencia entre quedarte en el mismo lugar o dar el salto hacia la vida que deseas.

Sleep takes up nearly a third of a patient's life, yet its importance to mental health outcomes has been drastically understated in therapeutic conversations. Dr. Myrtle Jeroudi, a neurologist at The Menninger Clinic, weighs in on how deeply intertwined sleep disruption is to mental health disorders and why asking the right questions regarding sleep is a crucial step in clinical assessments. A patient's disrupted sleep habits often signal deeper disturbances and, if left untreated, can lead to worsening symptoms. Early sleep intervention in treatment can lead to better sleep hygiene and habits, potentially eliminating the need for medication-based intervention. As more and more individuals seeking mental health care report sleep issues nationwide, Dr. Jeroudi stresses the need for clinicians to perform robust sleep assessments for better therapeutic outcomes and improved long-term health.  “When you don't sleep well, your mood is going to be impacted, but the way we've understood this relationship has changed to be bi-directional, where one affects the other,” notes Dr. Jeroudi. “So, if you have depression or anxiety, you're not getting good sleep. And when you have those bad nights of sleep or poor quality of sleep, it's going to impact how severe your mood disorder is too.”  Dr. Myrtle Jeroudi, MD, is a staff neurologist with the Menninger Clinic's Sleep Medicine Service and is an assistant professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine. She is board certified in neurology, clinical neurophysiology and sleep medicine. Her research has been published in peer-reviewed journals that include the Journal of Neurotrauma and Epilepsia and Seizure: European Journal of Epilepsy. Dr. Jeroudi earned her bachelor's degrees in biology and medicine and society from Washington University in St. Louis and her medical degree from UT Southwestern Medical School. Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.

High in fats and low in carbs, ketogenic diets were originally developed in the 1920s to treat children with epilepsy. Now, they've gained popularity for weight loss, and even improved cognitive function. But how much truth is there in the purported brain health benefits we see on social media? In this episode of ‘Your Brain On...', we separate the facts from the fads, and discuss: • What one might eat on a typical ketogenic diet • How ketogenic diets affect brain metabolism • The different ways your brain uses sources of energy — glucose vs. ketones • The latest data on ketogenic diet in Alzheimer's disease patients • What we know about how ketogenic diets and treatment of Alzheimer's • The outcome differences between ketogenic diets and ketone supplements in Alzheimer's • Other evidence-based nutritional approaches for brain health  For this episode, we welcome two world-renowned professionals in the field of nutrition and neuroscience: DR.

Joanne, João Urbano (Joca) e Ingrid conversam sobre como investigar um paciente após uma primeira crise convulsiva.Referências:1. Firkin, Anna L et al. “Mind the gap: Multiple events and lengthy delays before presentation with a "first seizure".” Epilepsia vol. 56,10 (2015): 1534-41. doi:10.1111/epi.13127 

La epilepsia es una condición caracterizada por convulsiones recurrentes no provocadas. El diagnóstico de epilepsia a menudo no es sencillo y el diagnóstico erróneo es relativamente común. Una buena historia clínica detallada y confiable del evento por parte de un testigo ocular es crucial para la evaluación diagnóstica, pero puede no estar siempre disponible. A veces, la epilepsia es causada por cambios en la estructura del cerebro. Estos pueden ser cosas como demasiado líquido cefalorraquídeo (conocido como hidrocefalia), tejido cicatricial o una maraña de vasos sanguíneos (malformación vascular). Las imágenes del cerebro, llamadas "neuroimágenes” pueden evaluar la presencia de estas anormalidades y descartar alguna otra afección médica. Para conocer más sobre las neuroimágenes en epilepsia, hoy nos acompaña una vez más el Dr. Guillermon Abdón Villegas. El Dr. Abdón Villegas es neurólogo pediatra peruano, actualmente realizando un diplomado en EEG pediátrico en el Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez (HIMFG). Se graduó en Pediatría en el Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño de Breña, de Neurología Pediátrica del HIMFG avalado por la UNAM, y es bachiller en Biología por la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa (UNSA).
