Atlas of Video-EEG Monitoring explains the essentials of video EEG for use in all settings. This full-color atlas thoroughly covers the basics of performing video EEG for diagnosis along with how to use video EEG for the diagnosis and interpretation of seizures and mimickers of seizures during treatment of epilepsy, in the emergency department, and in the intensive care unit.
My partner has MS - this is 2 months' worth of her Rebif (Interferon) injections. (Three times a week, in the butt.) It's not an enjoyable experience, nor was it working for her after several years. She began a new treatment in November '07, a monthly infusion called Tysabri. She already feels better. For more information about MS, click here: www.nationalmssociety.org
My parents came to see us off at the bus station. I found many languages
here. You can see many advertisements while you wait for the bus at the
station. However, I was surprised by the doctors’ office advertisements. So
I thought this might be a cultural thing because I do not see any doctors
office advertisements at bus stops in the US. The advertisements in this
bus stop were for gynecology, surgery, urology, orthopedic surgery,
neurology, psychiatry and internal medicine. Others included signs for
alcohol, flowers, banks, and movie tickets. I do not know why Japanese
people put doctors’ office advertisements in the bus stop. Maybe the
language in the sign is good to help us remember, especially while we have
time to read it (waiting for the bus). I learned that doctors’ office and
alcohol advertizing rule are changing now. The advertizing can add more
information. The funeral and wedding signs were done with shuji
(calligraphy). However, if these signs use print style, I may feel a little
bored and ignore the sign.
The basis of all NLP skills and all communication between individuals and species comes from our mirror neurons. Found in the frontal cortex of the brain they will light up when someone else does some sort of action.
It is through the copying actions that we emulate in others that we learn how to use speech and tools and cultural structures. In short, without mirror neurons you would be unable to understand the video or what is written here.
Scientists now think that mirror neurons emerged in humans approximately 100,000 years ago and allowed us to create fire, tools and agriculture as well as shelter and language.
Mirror neurons also allow us to experience empathy even when just observing another individual.

Vemos resaltado un trombo (verde) en uno de los vasos sanguíneos (rojo) del cuello de esta persona, justo bajo su mandíbula. Este vaso sanguíneo aporta sangre al cerebro. Si empieza a coagularse, el interior de la arteria puede taponarse. Este taponamiento puede volverse inestable y explotar, causando coágulos de sangre que desencadenen un infarto cerebral. Lo investigadores están desarrollando nuevos modos para identificar estas zonas taponadas antes de que exploten para que puedan ser tratadas disminuyendo el riesgo de infarto.
La arteria carótida se ha estrechado a 4 mm de diámetro en la zona del trombo, en comparación con los 8 mm justo por debajo. Esto se considera como de riesgo moderado. Las imágenes se obtienen combinando digitalmente dos técnicas, la tomografía computarizada o escáner y el PET que utiliza partículas radiactivas para señalar el trombo.

The felines that live free in Apollo's House at C&W Rustic Hollow Shelter have been diagnosed with FIV. Granted, they have a much better prognosis than cats with FeLV, but these felines are still often viewed unadoptable and euthanized. At the C&W sanctuary, FIV+ felines live out their lives in comfort.

About FIV
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a virus that can cause a multitude of health problems in cats due to reduced immune system function. It can cause an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome sometimes called feline AIDS.
Cause
FIV is a virus from the same family as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but it is a separate virus specific to cats. It cannot be transmitted to humans or other species. There are several subtypes of the virus. Once a cat is infected, it will be infected for life. However, the percentage of cats that will go on to develop reduced immune function from the virus is unknown, and it can take many years for such problems to develop.Therefore, a positive diagnosis of FIV does not automatically carry a bad prognosis, and is not a death sentence.
Transmission and Risk Factors
FIV is spread mainly via bite wounds. Therefore, cats that fight are at the highest risk of being infected with FIV, such as cats allowed to roam outdoors and male cats (which tend to fight, especially when not neutered). It can also be transmitted from infected mother cats to their kittens.
Signs and Symptoms
After first being infected with FIV, cats may experience transient symptoms including:
•Fever
•Enlarged lymph nodes
•Low white blood cell count
Cats generally recover uneventfully from this phase and may then appear healthy for some time, often several years. However, the virus can gradually attack and weaken the immune system, leading to a host of secondary health problems. The course of illness with FIV is difficult to predict, but generally, any of the following may be seen when immune system function deteriorates:
•Enlarged lymph nodes
•Weight loss
•Loss of appetite
•Recurring fever
•Diarrhea
•Infections (e.g., mouth, skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary tract)
•Cancer
•Neurological signs (e.g., behavior changes, seizures)
Diagnosis of FIV
FIV infection is diagnosed by a blood test to detect antibodies to the virus. There are several methods of testing (each with pros and cons), and often more than one is used to confirm a result. Multiple tests over time may also be needed to completely rule out FIV, depending on the situation.
Treatment of FIV
Once infected, a cat will remain infected for life, and treatment is often focused on managing diseases resulting from diminished immune function (e.g., antibiotics for infections). Medications that strengthen the immune system such as interferon and Imulan (a new veterinary drug) can be used, and antiviral drugs such as AZT may also be tried in some cases. Your vet will recommend a course of treatment that is right for your cat.
Caring for a Cat with FIV
A cat with a diagnosis of FIV can live for many years, and there are several precautions that can be taken with FIV cats to help manage the disease:
•FIV positive cats should be kept indoors - to prevent exposure to possible infectious agents and also to prevent them from transmitting the virus to other cats.
•Visit your vet at least twice yearly for routine check ups to catch any potential problems early on.
•Monitor FIV positive cats closely for any signs of illness and seek treatment as soon as possible.
•Feed a high quality diet and nutritional supplements as recommended by your vet. However, avoid raw diets as they may contain bacteria and parasites that could negatively affect an FIV infected cat.
•Effective flea treatment should be used, as fleas can transmit diseases to cats.
•Maintain routine vaccination protocols and parasite control programs. Regular dental care is also recommended.
•Introduce new cats to the household slowly to ensure non-stressful/non-injurious interactions.
Multi-Cat Households
There is minimal risk of transmission of FIV between household cats that get along well. Discuss your specific household situation and inter-cat concerns with your vet. Removing an FIV positive cat from the home is generally not necessary. All cats in the household should be kept indoors, kept up to date on vaccinations, and health concerns addressed as soon as possible; i.e. don't wait if your cat is "quieter than normal" or not feeling well.
