Dr. Bruna Nucera interviewed Dr. Andrea Cheng-Hakimian about a retrospective study that included 28 years of data from women with epilepsy who gave birth in Washington State.This US study compared the relative occurrence of selected pregnancy outcomes and postpartum rehospitalizations among women with and without epilepsy and their infants. It used linked hospital records of women with deliveries in Washington State between 1987 and 2014. Women with epilepsy had increased risks of preeclampsia (RR 1.23; 95 % CI 1.08-1.41) and gestational diabetes (RR 1.18; 95 % CI 1.02-1.36). Their infants had increased risks of malformation (RR 1.23; 95 % C: 1.08-1.42) and small for gestational age (RR 1.39; 95 % CI 1.25-1.54) , and were nearly three times as likely to not be breastfed. Mothers (RR 5.25; 95 % CI 2.46-11.23) and their infants (RR 1.64, 95 % CI 1.41-1.89) required more ICU admissions during hospitalization for delivery and more postpartum rehospitalization, with greatest risk in the first six months. Maternal mortality (up to 2 years after delivery) was increased (RR 7.11; 95 % CI 2.47-20.49). Risks of preterm delivery and low birthweight increased over the study time period (p
Dr. Madeleine Oudin knew she was interested in medicine and biology from a young age. She took a science track of courses in high school in France and went on to do her undergraduate studies at McGill University. Despite a lack of advising, she found that she loved research and continued on to get a Masters and PhD in neuroscience. She shifted gears in her postdoc, studying cancer and tumor biology, and was surprised to learn of some of the overlaps with studying neuroscience. These two fields merged to form her research niche when she founded her own lab at Tufts University. But her research focus would shift once again after she discovered the diagnosis of her daughter Margot, who suffers from a rare form of epilepsy caused by gene mutations in SCN8. Together with her husband, she now also studies these types of disorders in mice and is working towards a cure for her daughter. Join us on this episode of LSP to learn from Dr. Oudin's impressive career journey and her inspiring dedication to help her daughter.

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST Episode 57 Joeys Song Joey's Song was started in 2010 following the death of four-year-old Joey Gomoll, who passed one week shy of his fifth birthday. Joey suffered from a rare and debilitating form of epilepsy known as Dravet Syndrome. Dravet's caused persistent seizures which were never able to be controlled through medications leading to severe learning disabilities. While Dravet's robbed Joey of the ability to speak, Joey remained a happy and fun loving child. He was happiest when music was playing, allowing him to hum, drum and sing in his own way. To be present when music was playing meant only one thing, that Joey would soon have you dancing and enjoying the music with him. https://www.joeyssong.org/

She states that at first, all looked good, but there was a slight clue that something was wrong which the doctors were not able to put a pin.05:18: There are markers for normal or commonly known syndromes or congenital disabilities, but everything was new and unheard of in Hermione’s case. She had plastic surgery at the age of 3 months.06:29: Interestingly, during the same time, Autumn was doing a psychological dissertation on the topic “How families are told about diagnosis.”07:00: Jay empathizes and supports Autumn saying that it might have been confusing and challenging as a nail already hits you in the head.07:28: At the hospital when Autumn was informed of her daughter’s condition. The doctor coldly asks her to google it.07:40: Jay and Eric discuss how some people don’t understand or communicate with you about your pain during tough times. Eric shares a personal experience about how he felt when doctors don’t show any empathy.09:54: Jay points out mental health crisis is not just for the parents or children; doctors also deal with the same situation. There should be an awareness about the same.13:23: Hermione had a 10% chance of survival when she was born. Autumn discusses the privileges that they got from the government and family members.14:54: Eric puts an important question “What are the options available to those people who don’t have such kind of privileges?”16:58: Jay stresses that the issue should be addressed so that, privileged or not, no child should be left out to get proper care and service.17:56: Autumn shares about Hermione’s seizures; at times, they were for 2 hours.19.24: Autumn confesses that before this tragic incident, she had no idea about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).22:30: Autumn takes the listeners to an emotional ride when she narrates Hermione’s last moments.25:01: Jay respected the fact that Autumn did not put Hermione under heavy medication but instead tried her best to give her a normal childhood.28:27: Eric talks about his personal experience with epilepsy and how he jokes about it.32:18: Autumn jokes about how her other two kids took things lightly and made seizure faces.35:20: To help parents who have special needs children, Autumn points out that it is essential to talk about it.

“The thing about it, she said, ‘Why are they destroying our city?' And I said, ‘What if you were trying to get mommy and daddy's attention and we weren't paying attention to you? What would you do?' She was like, ‘Well, I would talk louder.' I'm like, ‘What if we still didn't listen to you?' She was like, ‘I would scream!' And I was like, ‘What if we STILL didn't listen?' She was like, ‘I would be really sad. I would start crying.' And I was like, ‘I know! And what if we STILL didn't listen? What if it went on all day long and we just didn't listen to you?' She was like, ‘I would be so upset. I would… I don't know.' And I was like, ‘Would you throw a fit? A tantrum?' And she was like, ‘Yeah, I probably would. I'd probably throw my toys at you.' And I was like ‘That's kind of what happened, and then we would notice you because you would be making a mess, and we'd say ‘Sydney, Sydney, what's wrong?' And we would stand with you and try to calm you down and listen to you.' So I said, ‘That's kind of what happened with black people around the city.' Definitely the first night. And people I think have realized what was going on, finally, and what black lives matters means and they were like, ‘Alright. You're right. We stand with you.'” - Deborah Cordner Carson The CrossFit community may best recognize and remember Deborah Cordner Carson as the gutsy athlete who gave an inspirational performance at the 2012 CrossFit Games, overcoming a fear of open water swimming in the triathlon event and going on to win the 2012 Spirit of the Games award. Deb could also be distinguished by the compression sleeve she wears on her left leg, and by the color of her skin. Deb is one of the few black competitors in the sport of CrossFit. Growing up, Deborah was inspired by great athletes in her family. Her father came to America from Trinidad and Tobago on a track and field scholarship and her grandfather was the heavy weight lifting champion of the British Empire. As a young girl she competed in gymnastics, and as a teenager she excelled in track and field, eventually earning a full scholarship to the University of Northern Iowa as a 400-meter sprinter. When Deb developed lymphedema, a condition where fluid is retained in certain parts of the body and can cause dangerous swelling, she was forced to retire from her track and field career, but in time, she discovered ways to manage her condition- including that recognizable compression sleeve- while still being active. She took up CrossFit and quickly rose to elite status in the sport, placing as high as 5th in the 2013 CrossFit Open and 13th at the 2012 CrossFit Games. Since retiring, Deborah continues to do CrossFit for health, but she has also struggled with the heartbreak of multiple miscarriages, and most recently, a diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease, a type of pregnancy-related cancer. Throughout her life, Deborah has been aware that the color of her skin means she's had to work harder for opportunities than others. As a mother to two mixed-race little girls and a resident of the Minneapolis area, she also has a unique perspective on the recent events that have highlighted the ongoing systemic racism in our society. I am grateful to Deb for taking a moment to share her perspective amidst all the other challenges she is currently taking on. These conversations can be uncomfortable, but they're also important as we all strive to stand together and learn from each other. In this episode, we chat about her experiences as a minority CrossFit Games athlete, the mentality she's using to fight her cancer diagnosis, the lessons she strives to teach her daughters, and how we should all speak up to overcome injustice and racial bias. In this episode we discuss: Deborah's struggles with multiple miscarriages How she is coping with the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease, a type of pregnancy-related cancer How Deborah's experience competing in CrossFit helps her focus on the task at hand when it comes to tackling challenges Her initial reactions to hearing about George Floyd's death and the outrage in Minneapolis Explaining the looting and rioting to her daughter Deborah's personal experiences with systemic racism and unconscious racism How Deborah needed to be the best of the best to have the same opportunities as her white classmates Deborah's thoughts on why there's a disconnect in people understanding the additional challenges a black person has to overcome The lack of sponsorship opportunities available for a black CrossFit athlete Her disappointment with CrossFit HQ's silence What it's like to be a black athlete in the predominantly white sport of CrossFit Ways that Deb approaches the topic of racism with her children The importance of speaking up and making an effort to understand other cultures Three things Deborah does on a regular basis that have the biggest positive impact on her health One thing she thinks could have a big impact on her health, but she has a hard time implementing What a healthy life looks like to Deborah You can follow Deborah on Instagram Links: 2012 CrossFit Games - Spirit of The Games Winner: Deborah Cordner Carson CrossFit Games Regionals 2012 - Proud: Deborah Cordner Carson CrossFit - 'I'll Do It All' LymphCare: Deborah's Story Related episodes: Ep 10 - Jenny LaBaw on Running 500 Miles for Epilepsy Research and Education Ep 15 - Lewis Howes on Chasing Greatness Ep 70 - USA Track & Field Heptathlete Tiffeny Parker on Beating the Odds Ep 137 - Rich & Hillary Froning on Putting Family First If you like this episode, please subscribe to Pursuing Health on iTunes and give it a rating.

A lot of people think that if you have epilepsy, you were born with it or developed it as a child. But the truth is, 1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime. Anyone can develop epilepsy - at any point, at any age. And as the population grows older, more and more adults will develop epilepsy. Nancy Goldfarb is one of those people. Nancy explains what it feels like for her to have a seizure, how her super power is something called an aura, and why the last thing she wants you to do is put a stick in her mouth. To help tell her story, Nancy is joined by her Neurologist and Jefferson University Physician, Dr. Christopher Skidmore.

Measles cases in Europe have tripled between 2017 and 2018, the highest number recorded this decade according to the World Health Organisation. We discuss parental attitudes to vaccinating children and what parents should know with Helen Bedford, Professor of Children's Health at University College London's Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health and Samantha Vanderslott, social sciences researcher at Oxford Vaccine Group. There are 600,000 people in the UK with epilepsy and one third of them find that current treatment options do not fully help them to control their seizures. Many of those are women who find that their condition worsens in pregnancy or experience increased seizure frequency around their menstrual cycle. Jane talks to Fran Thomas who has epilepsy and to Dr Simona Balestrini who is undertaking research into improved diagnosis and treatment options that may benefit women. President Trump has attracted regular criticism from left of centre women, not least at last month's women's marches across the US. But what of those women who already back his party, the Republicans? We hear about the many women who support him and his policies. And, what's the secret to hosting and delivering a great speech, presentation or event? We hear from Mariella Frostrup and Viv Groskop.
Dr. Cass Ingram is a nutritional physician who received a B.S. in biology and chemistry from the University of Northern Iowa (1979) and a D.O. from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Des Moines, IA (1984). Dr. Ingram has since written over 20 books on natural healing and is recognized as one of North America's leading experts on the health benefits and disease fighting properties of wild medicinal spice extracts. A popular media personality, he has appeared on over 5,000 radio and TV shows. He now travels the world promoting perfect health – the natural way. An interview with medicinal herb and spice expert Dr. Cass Ingram author of The Cannabis Cure Study: Neurologist uses cannabis to stop or reduce seizures in 261 epileptic kids Researchers are burning the midnight oil to discover the many wonderful medicinal properties of the cannabis plant – a rich source of important chemical compounds called cannabinoids which are linked to the healthy function of virtually every organ and system in the human body. In a clinical study recently presented to members of the American Epilepsy Society, Dr. Orrin Devinski, Professor of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine, was able to demonstrate how one powerful cannabinoid known as CBD (short for cannabidiol) was able to significantly reduce or halt seizures and convulsions more than two hundred epileptic children. “The study involved some 313 epilepsy victims, all children, who were given a medically purified form of the CBD cannabinoid and monitored over a 90-day period. Of the 261 children who remained in the study, virtually all had a response that was astounding: a 50% reduction in seizures or convulsions. Furthermore, 10% of the children became seizure-free during the treatment period,” says Dr. Cass Ingram, author of the book The Cannabis Cure. Dr. Ingram, an expert in the medicinal properties of cannabis and other plants, says the historical evidence supporting the use of cannabinoid-rich herbs such as cannabis, holy basil, wild sage, wild rosemary, and wild oregano to treat epilepsy and nervous disorders is vast. “A wide range of infectious agents can be involved in the causation of seizure syndromes, including viruses, molds, fungi, worms, protozoa, and other parasites, and all are capable of invading brain tissue where they lay eggs or create cysts which place pressure on brain centers, leading to seizures,” says Dr. Ingram. “The cannabinoid rich-plants and their oils are especially suited to attack these hidden invaders and quickly inactivate them.” In terms of pure antiseptic properties, Dr. Ingram says wild oregano oil has been documented as the most potent natural germ and parasite killer known. “It is particularly effective against viruses, bacteria, molds, and yeasts,” says Dr. Ingram. “As published in the scientific literature, oregano’s main action is against protozoans: amoebas, blastocysts, cryptosporidium, the malarial parasite, and giardia. It is also an ideal agent for brain infections of any type, as many of its components penetrate the blood-brain barrier.” Is there any evidence that wild oregano by itself is a remedy for seizures? “Historically, it was used precisely for precisely that purpose,” says Dr. Ingram. “It was the ancient Greeks who used it successfully for treating seizure syndromes, but they also used it as a cure for other head-related syndromes such as migraines. In an animal study published in Epilepsy Research and Treatment, researchers found that the essential oil of wild oregano, rich in the active ingredient carvacrol, prevented seizures significantly. So did other essential oils, including oils of mint, peppermint, basil, rosemary, and lavender.” #insomnia #epilepsy #autism #depression #stress #pain #cancer #heart #medical #marihuana #medicalmarihuana #hemp #hempanol
