Abstract:
Abstract Anyone can develop epilepsy, and about one in a hundred people does. This makes epilepsy as common as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. However, people talk much less about epilepsy than about these other conditions. This picture shows 120 people. If they were typical of the whole population, one or two should have epilepsy. Most people with epilepsy would lead a normal life if only people without epilepsy would let them. Unfortunately, many are prejudiced about epilepsy. This book is for people with epilepsy and for people who live or work with them. It is written to inform people about epilepsy. It is meant to explain the causes and treatment of epilepsy. It is meant to be understood by everyone. Other medical conditions, tuberculosis for instance, particularly affect poor people. There are also diseases that are more common in rich people. Epilepsy affects rich and poor alike. A person can develop epilepsy when he or she is a baby, a young adult, or in older age.Keywords:

Summary Over time, autobiographical memories demonstrate fixed affect (i.e., maintain initial affect), fading affect, flourishing affect (i.e., increased affect), or flexible affect (i.e., change from unpleasant to pleasant or vice versa). Walker and Skowronski argued that events low in initial pleasantness are more likely to exhibit flourishing affect and flexible affect and that unpleasant events are more likely to demonstrate flexible affect than pleasant events. However, because of the low frequency of flourishing affect and flexible affect events in individual studies, research had not examined differences between these event categories. The present study examined initial pleasantness ratings for fading affect, fixed affect, flourishing affect, and flexible affect events across four published studies. We expected and generally found lower initial pleasantness for flourishing affect and flexible affect events than for fading affect and fixed affect events. Implications are discussed.

Objective:To discuss the relationship between cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and its secondary epilepsy. Methods:66 cases of cerebrovascular disease with epilepsy were summarized and analysed.Results:Among the patients,there were 43 cases of early epilepsy,23 cases of late epilepsy.Most lesion location existed in the cerebral lobe(47/66).Most of them showed overall onset of epilepsy;however,after medication,having better therapeutic effects.Conclusion:Cerebrovascular disease is one of the main causes in secondary epilepsy.Most patients with early epilepsy needn't take antiepileptic drugs for a long time, but patients with late epilepsy have to.The death rate of the patients with cerebrovascular disease in acute epilepsy onset group are higher than that in non-epilepsy group,and sustaining status of epilepticus shows that patient's condition was serious and had poor prognosis.

People with epilepsy suffer from a considerable lack of physical activity. In addition, an important problem of epilepsy management is the lack of qualified professionals. In this study we present data from a survey which aimed to assess physical educators' general knowledge about epilepsy. One hundred and thirty four physical educators of both sexes answered a questionnaire. Sixty percent of the professionals believe that a seizure is an abnormal electrical discharge of the brain, 13% that epilepsy is a cerebral chronic disease that can not be cured or controlled, 84% that people having convulsions will not necessarily present epilepsy and 5% that people with epilepsy have difficulties of learning. Questions concerned previous professional experience with epilepsy showed that 61% have seen a seizure and 53% have access to some information about epilepsy. Thus, 28% of professionals have a friend or relative with epilepsy, 14% have a student with epilepsy, and 29% helped someone during seizures. Our findings reveal a lack of physical educators' appropriate knowledge about epilepsy. Improvement of this might contribute to the improvement of epilepsy care/management.

The present chapter analyzes relations between affect and health behaviors from the perspective of the action control model of affect regulation. It presents evidence that forming if-then plans or implementation intentions can emancipate health actions from unwanted influence by three kinds of affect—experienced affect, anticipated affect, and implicit affect. For each of these kinds of affect, it demonstrates that emancipation can be achieved in two ways—either by directly targeting the affect itself so as to undermine the strength of the affective response, or by targeting the relationship between affect and health behavior so that the translation of affect into action is reduced or blocked. It concludes that the impact of affect on health decisions and actions is not inevitable: affective influence can be modulated effectively using if-then plans.

On the basis of the prospective study, concerning 100 children of mothers with epilepsy, observed in the first decade, it was established that epilepsy appeared more often in this period than it was reported in the retrospective studies. The frequency of epilepsy amounted 7%. The pregnant-perinatal negative factors in mothers whose children suffered from epilepsy, weren't essentially larger than in other mothers with epilepsy. The occurrence of epilepsy in mothers till 10 year's of age increases the risk of early appearance of epilepsy in offspring essentially (p < 0.05). The epilepsy with absence seizures in mothers is related to the increased number of children with epilepsy in the first decade significantly more often than the epilepsy only with generalized tonic-clonic seizures (p < 0.012). Among the children with epilepsy, there were cases with the same type as in mothers epilepsy (absence), and with other generalized idiopathic epileptic syndromes (West syndrome, Dose syndrome, epilepsy with tonic-clinic seizures). The course of epilepsy in offspring of mothers with epilepsy was typical for the relevant epileptic syndroms appearing in childhood.
