seizures

Seizures occur because of a change in the electrical activity of the brain. This can be caused by a variety of things including diseases of the nervous system and the brain itself. Seizures may also be the result of a head injury, chemicals, poisons and even nutrient deficiencies

Pathophysiology

Seizures (fits, convulsions) are caused by abnormal activity in the brain cells, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex. When a neurons fires off in a seizure, it sets off a chain reaction in other neurons, and the seizure spreads. If this chain reaction stays within a specific location, a partial seizure might occur. If it spreads to occur on both sides of the cerebral cortex, a generalized seizure, the most common type of seizure, might occur.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

A seizure is a temporary involuntary disturbance of brain function that may be manifested as impaired consciousness, abnormal motor activity, sensory disturbances or autonomic dysfunction.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Seizures are accompanied by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain that can usually be detected by electroen-cephalography.

• Not a disease but a symptom.
• Common Denominator - increased permeability of neuronal cell membranes causes an increase in neuronal cell excitability.

i got to school really early, 30 minutes early to be exact. instead of wasting my time with classmates i loathe, i waited outside. these past few months, seemed like a setup, like, i wake up, go to school, do the same thing i did yesterday, go home. same thing everyday when in school. but when i'm, with jam, everything changes, though we fight a lot, it most certainly isn't like school. jam is the life i live beyond school.

we had a 2 quizzes today, one on back massage, foot and nail care and another on medical abbreviations and initials. i felt so stupid on the latter, how could i make such a careless mistake, gawwwd i knew it! i knew it! one must always go with their first hunch! argg, why did i have to switch carbohydrates with protein, why?? when that was already my original answer. haaay kina stupid. my standards when it comes to academics have been high lately, like above average. for instance, eventhough i passed and exam but it isn't perfect or that high, it hurts, why?  cuz' i know i could've done better. hahaha. funny isn't it? the new and improved kina. anyway, i gotta end this really quick. ta-ta

ako ay naka 18/20 sa health economics

i think i'm changing when it comes to my study habits and being responsible. haha. it's fuckin crazy. or maybe, this is just at first.

 didn't have physics, that's y jamil and i went to a far away place for shawarma. had a good time w/ him. the bus ride home was hella funny. i kept on almost falling on the ground. take note: almost. =)

i suck.

bye/ laters.

myspace is ass, but i'm accepting those who invite me. </3
