A brain attack is a sudden change in brain activity that can cause physical symptoms such as seizures, shortness of breath, and loss of consciousness. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including medical conditions, medication overdose, and exposure to certain substances. Precautions can be taken to reduce the risk of seizures. A […]
Tonic-clonic seizures involve severe muscle contractions and loss of consciousness. They can last up to 30 minutes and are preceded by an aura. During the seizure, the body stiffens and convulses violently. Seek medical help and remove nearby objects to avoid injury. A tonic-clonic seizure is a common and potentially serious type of generalized seizure […]
Non-epileptic seizures resemble epileptic seizures but have different underlying causes, including psychological factors. Misdiagnosis is common, and video EEG monitoring can help distinguish between the two. Treatment for psychogenic seizures often involves psychotherapy. A non-epileptic seizure is a type of seizure that, while it may look the same to an onlooker as an epileptic seizure, […]
To prevent seizures, individuals should avoid activities that could lead to head trauma, stay away from triggers, maintain good health habits, and educate others on how to respond to a seizure. Children with seizures should not be left alone in certain situations and should wear helmets while biking. Those with a history of seizures should […]
Sequestration is a bone disease caused by dead bone separating from living bone, resulting in tissue loss. Bones are living organs that adapt to external influences and are susceptible to diseases such as sequestration and necrosis, which can occur due to injury, infection, or lack of blood supply. Symptoms include pain, decreased movement, and possible […]
Seizures come in many types and symptoms, affecting epileptics and non-epileptics. There are six common types of seizures, with distinct stages and symptoms. Partial seizures can also occur, causing brief moments of uncontrolled movements or memory loss. A doctor should always be consulted. There are many types of seizures, including mild seizures, grand mal seizures, […]
A writ is a legal order from a judge directing a party to act or cease to act. A writ of seizure is used to seize assets to satisfy a sentence. It can also be used to prevent the disposition of assets before or during legal proceedings. A garnishment writ is commonly used to protect […]
Disc herniation is a tear or break in the material between the vertebrae of the spine. Disc sequestration is the most severe degree of disc herniation, in which the nuclear material of the disc leaks out and completely separates with the disc. Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the herniation and the location of […]
Sequestration is used in legal contexts to set people or property apart, such as freezing assets or isolating jurors. Seizure orders can extend to items not used as evidence, but must be properly documented and can be appealed if unduly seized. Sequestration, a term meaning “to set apart”, is used in several contexts in the […]
Sequestration is a proposed way to confine certain particles and forces to extra dimensions, solving problems in particle physics. It is relevant to string theory, M theory, and supersymmetry. Sequestration can solve the hierarchy problem while avoiding flavor violation. Supersymmetry theory provides one possible explanation, but there is a problem with supersymmetry. Sequestration can prevent […]
Seizures can range from mild to severe and are caused by problems in the nervous system, often due to epilepsy. Seizures can also be caused by high fevers, low blood sugar levels, high blood pressure in pregnant women, brain tumors, and blood clots. Partial seizures affect a discrete area of the brain, while generalized seizures […]
Unreasonable search and seizure is when a legal officer conducts an improper search and seizure. In most countries, police must follow legal procedures before searching someone. The Fourth Amendment in the US Constitution protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Evidence obtained from an unlawful search cannot be used against a person, and other evidence found […]
Illegal search and seizure is when evidence is obtained outside the law and may be excluded from trial. Citizens have privacy rights that may conflict with police searches. Police can act on probable cause without a warrant, but evidence obtained illegally cannot be used in court. An illegal search and seizure is a search and […]
Bank account garnishment can be avoided by paying off debt, negotiating a payment plan with creditors, not having a bank account, opening an account in another state or region, opening an offshore bank account, or declaring bankruptcy. Creditors usually resort to garnishment as a last option. Bank account garnishment can occur when an individual owes […]
Seizures occur when nerve cells in the brain become overly excited or fire abnormally due to various factors. The pathophysiology of seizures involves an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory forces, and treatments target both molecular abnormalities and non-chemical spread of excitation in the brain. A seizure occurs when one part of the brain becomes overly […]
Understanding the seizure threshold is important in managing seizure disorders. During a seizure, uncontrolled electrical activity occurs in the brain, causing various symptoms. Patients with a low seizure threshold may experience seizures in response to stimuli, but medication and avoidance can help reduce seizure activity. Doctors recommend extensive screening to identify causes and develop a […]
