Hello everyone, I am Li Yan, a Chinese medicine doctor. Today I will explain the popular science of epilepsy to you. Everyone likes, comments and follow them and forward them to the people around you.
Speaking of epilepsy, some people may be in a strange state. First, let’s talk about the disease of epilepsy. Secondly, let’s give you some popular science. What will cause us to get epilepsy? Secondly, what are the symptoms if epilepsy is triggered?
epile: The public generally refers to "epilema" and "epilema" and "epilema" in their mouths. It is a chronic disease of brain dysfunction caused by sudden abnormal discharge of brain neurons. According to the latest epidemiological data from in my country, the overall prevalence rate of epilepsy in China is 7%, and the number of patients with disease incidence accounts for 288.8/100,000 each year. The prevalence of seizures active epilepsy within one year is 4.6%. Therefore, it is calculated that there are about 9 million epilepsy patients in my country.
Causes of epilepsy: The causes of epilepsy are complex and diverse, including genetic factors, brain diseases, systemic or systemic diseases, etc. Pathogenesis: The pathogenesis of epilepsy is usually very complex, and its diversity is mainly related to the changes in ion channel neurotransmitters and glial cells . Generally, epileptic seizures can lead to abnormal ion channel, abnormal neurotransmitter, and abnormal glial cells. What are the common and frequent groups? Epilepsy has recurrence cases in all age groups, among which the incidence of epilepsy in children is higher than that in adults, but as they age, the incidence of epilepsy will also decrease. However, once it rises to the age of old age, the incidence of epilepsy will increase significantly due to the increase of cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer's , and degenerative neurological diseases.
Symptoms of epilepsy
Systemic tonic-clonic seizures: characterized by sudden loss of consciousness and systemic tonic and convulsions. Typical seizures can be divided into tonic period, clonic period and late stage. The attack usually lasts about 5 minutes. Generally, patients will be accompanied by tongue bite , urinary incontinence and other symptoms, and may easily cause suffocation and other injuries. Absentence: A typical absentence occurs suddenly, the movement is terminated, staring, screaming, and blinking, but it is basically not accompanied by or accompanied by mild motor symptoms. The ending was also more sudden. It usually lasts for about 5-20 seconds, and rarely exceeds 1 minute. The abnormal seizures are mainly seen in children with abnormal epilepsy. Myoclonus seizure: This type of sudden, rapid and short contraction of the muscles. The main symptoms are electric shock-like shaking on the body or limbs. Sometimes it can be continuously numerous times, mostly after awakening. It is generally divided into whole-body movements, sometimes local attacks.
