Proceedings Of The 2022 “Lifestyle Intervention For Epilepsy (Life)” Symposium Hosted By Cleveland Clinic, Martha Sajatovic

Faculty Scholarship

Lifestyle interventions are strategies used to self-manage medical conditions, such as epilepsy, and often complement traditional pharmacologic and surgical therapies. The need for integrating evidence-based lifestyle interventions into mainstream medicine for the treatment of epilepsy is evident given that despite the availability of a multitude of treatments with medications and surgical techniques, a significant proportion of patients have refractory seizures, and even those who are seizure-free report significant adverse effects with current treatments. Although the evidence base for complementary medicine is less robust than it is for traditional forms of medicine, the evidence to date suggests that several forms of …

Using Bloom's Taxonomy To Visualize Antiracist Teaching Strategies., Lucian Rothe, Cara K. Snyder

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

2020 marked a surge in the uprisings for racial and social justice in the United States and around the globe. Universities met the moment with aspirations to become antiracist institutions. However, there has often been a disconnect between universities’ antiracist goals and support for educators in their day-to-day instruction. Moreover, many educators – primarily those racialized as White, who have seldom had to consider their racial identity in predominantly White environments – are unfamiliar with antiracist teaching strategies. This essay is for university instructors who are new to antiracist pedagogy but want to use its principles to transform their teaching. …

Propagation Of Stress Shock Waves In Elastoplastic Continuous Media With Spherical Symmetry, Abdimital Nabiyevich Nabiyev, Abdumalik Abdumurodovich Nabiyev

Technical science and innovation

The article examines the motion caused by the explosion of a spherical charge in elastoplastic continuous media. When a charge explodes, it is assumed that the charge instantly turns into a high-pressure gas without changing its volume, and this gas spreads into the environment, forming a shock wave with spherical symmetry. Taking into account the presence of tangential stresses in inclined areas, equations of one-dimensional dynamic motion of soil are derived, according to which the patterns of propagation of shock waves in soil massifs during an explosion with spherical symmetry are studied. To find the limiting state of the soil, …

Distinct Visual Processing Networks For Foveal And Peripheral Visual Fields, Jie Zhang, Huihui Zhou, Shuo Wang

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Foveal and peripheral vision are two distinct modes of visual processing essential for navigating the world. However, it remains unclear if they engage different neural mechanisms and circuits within the visual attentional system. Here, we trained macaques to perform a free-gaze visual search task using natural face and object stimuli and recorded a large number of 14588 visually responsive units from a broadly distributed network of brain regions involved in visual attentional processing. Foveal and peripheral units had substantially different proportions across brain regions and exhibited systematic differences in encoding visual information and visual attention. The spike-local field potential (LFP) …

Generalized Spike-Waves In Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies: Does Their Frequency Matter?, Ali A. Asadi-Pooya, Mohsen Farazdaghi
