This week it has been revealed that a boy in the UK has become the first patient in the world with severe epilepsy to trial a new device fitted in their skull to control seizures. With the neurostimulator, electrical signals are sent deep into Oran Knowlson's brain, reducing his daytime seizures by 80%. ''We at EPM Scientific are pleased to see this technology being trialed in the UK for such a debilitating condition, demonstrating that as an industry we are making great strides to help those who need it most,'' says Freddie Eaden, Associate Vice President of Commercial and R&D at EPM Scientific.

Time for #FunFactFriday! Last week we learned how epilepsy is defined and classified. Let's continue this week into the subcategories. Focal onset seizures can be subcategorized into aware and impaired awareness (describing the person’s level of consciousness) then further divided into motor or non-motor (describing clinical manifestations or semiology) during an event. The onset features can allow identification of the area of the brain, lobe or hemisphere that is involved in seizure onset and propagation. Focal seizures can spread widely in the brain to engage bilateral networks, including cortical and subcortical structures, resulting in a tonic-clonic seizure with loss of consciousness. This seizure type is known as a focal to bilateral tonic clonic seizure. Question: Focal non-motor seizures can have clinical manifestation from which of the following categories used as seizure descriptors? You have 5️⃣ answer choices this time. Answer on our website. https://lnkd.in/eemAWdkN
