Unprovoked Seizures And Myoclonus In Patients With Alzheimer's Disease, Marcia L. Morris

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Although anecdotal references commonly presume that seizures eventually occur in patients affected with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), no previous American study has documented the rate of new onset, unprovoked seizures in DAT patients. There are few documented cases of the occurrence of myoclonus in autopsy-proven DAT. In a series of 83 autopsy-proven DAT cases, medical records were scrutinized for the presence of any seizure or myoclonic activity. Final evaluations were made by a neurologist. Of the 83 cases, 8 had experienced one or more unprovoked seizures after the onset of DAT. Based on age-specific incidence rates from a …

Environmental Enrichment And Nursing Therapy With Comatose Patients : Two Case Studies, Marilyne R. Sayler

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

As a part of a larger research project with comatose patients the problem stated for this portion of the research study was to investigate the potential for identifying whether or not the quality of nursing care for comatose patients could be improved by nursing therapy with environmental enrichment and meaningful systematic orienting stimuli given by professional nurse clinicians and a patient's significant others. The effects of the orienting stimuli were measured by observable changes in arousal patterns in serial electroencephalograms (EEGs) , level of arousal as scored on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and selected measures of recovery outcome (RO). …

Factors Which Deterred Twenty-Three Selected Patients From Utilizing Public Health Nursing Services, Lora Wood Welch

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A study was conducted to identify factors which deterred twenty-three selected epileptic patients from utilizing public health nursing services. The literature was reviewed in areas relating to factors which may contribute to or deter patients use of clinic or public health services.

The descriptive survey approach employing an interview guide was used. Data on the guide were classified in two areas: (1) personal characteristics and (2) participant responses. The participant responses were further categorized according to (1) perception of the public health department and public health nursing services, (2) perception of the needs of the epileptic patient and his parents, …

Electroencephalography In A Teaching Hospital, Guy M. Hunt Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Electroencephalography may be defined as a study of the electrical activity of the brain. This activity was first recorded and reported by Caton in 1875. However, it was the work of Hans Berger, confirmed by Adrian and Matthews in 1935, which opened the way for the rapid advancement of knowledge in this field. The arrival of the age of electronics made possible development of the sensitive, accurate, and dependable amplifiers available in modern electroencephalography, which has in turn made possible the rapid advancements in this field. Techniques have been perfected and standardized, personnel have been trained, and laboratories have been …

The Neuropsychiatric Factor In Allergic Disease, Norman Shure, M Coleman Harris

Medical Arts and Sciences: A Scientific Journal of the College of Medical Evangelists

A concept of the causation of allergic disease herewith is presented in which, in addition to the allergic factors, emotional states and psychic stimuli are introduced as integral parts of every case. The adoption of the terms "intrinsic" for the neuropsychiatric factors and "extrinsic" for the organic factors in the production of allergic disease is suggested.
