Article Summary

Abstract

Introduction

Functional seizures (FS) also known as psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are episodes of altered awareness that resemble epileptic seizures or syncope but are not explained by these or other medical disorders. These are a common presentation in neurology and epilepsy clinics.

FS are associated with elevated morbidity and mortality rates as well as significant healthcare costs.

A current treatment is cognitive behavioural treatment (CBT) but this, and focussing on psychological comorbidities like anxiety and depression do not show definitive success. Recent research is centred around the interface between psychiatry and neurology in the case of FS

Join hypermobility (varied along a spectrum that includes Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Marfan syndrome at its extreme) has been associated with several neuropsychiatric disorders including in a recent evaluation of a functional neurological disorder (FND) clinic which reported significant levels of hypermobility among patients, prompting this further investigation.

Methods

Diagnosis of FS made using the International League Against Epilepsy diagnostic criteria. Joint hypermobility was assessed using the Beighton Scale (BS).

Anxiety and depression were assessed with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory

Results

Detailed results and statistical interpretation are given here. Hypermobility was significantly associated with FS independent of potentially confounding factors.

Figure 1 shows a plot supporting these findings

Discussion

Notwithstanding the selective nature of the study population, the results suggest that joint hypermobility is more frequently observed in patients with FS.

Since the study contained significantly more women (and joint hypermobility is more common in women), the prevalence of joint hypermobility was more common in the comparison group than the general population and the prevalence among patients with FS was even higher.

The results were significant even after controlling for anxiety and depression, suggesting that joint hypermobility is an independent likelihood factor for FS.

Differences in autonomic control , interoception, and brain structure which are associated with joint hypermobility may predispose patients to FS but more research is required to replicate these results and investigate the implications of this result on screening, diagnosis, and treatment of these patients.

Limitations to this study include that the examination was not blinded to whether the patient belonged to the FS or comparison group, and that other potential confounding factors such as occupation or chronic illness were not analysed (due to lack of information)

every time I go into the doctor and they tell me about the 1 in 1 million chance reaction to a medication:

no, you don't understand dude. I am spiders georg. it will be happening specifically to me or my body will find a New and Fucked Up way to react to this medication that shouldn't even happen.

Reminding my body that since my arms hurt, the problem can be solved by stimming with my feet. My brain has accepted this, but unfortunately it still doesn’t know how to communicate with my body so my hands are still flappy and everything hurts and all of this is because someone had to be so thorough when they made sure I understood effective communication that they forgot to make sure my brain could communicate effectively with my muscles and nerves.

" Why can't it be in this lifetime? "

The question I have in my head, should we have met much earlier in life and fell in love, would things be different?

I hate that I have to let you go, i hate that you can't choose me, i don't want you to be just a part of my memories. I don't want you to forget about me. I'm selfish went comes to you, i don't want my place in your heart be taken by anyone else. I wanna feel everything with you.

I have so much more to say, many word left unsaid, many thoughts spiraling in my head. But still can't answer "why can't it be in this lifetime"

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and deer. The disease is caused by the FMD virus, which comes in seven different serotypes, making it a complex challenge for control and eradication. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial in managing FMD outbreaks. Treatment for foot and mouth disease in animals typically involves supportive care to alleviate symptoms, such as providing soft feed, ensuring adequate hydration, and administering pain relief. Additionally, controlling the spread through quarantine measures, vaccination, and culling of infected and at-risk animals is essential in managing the disease effectively.
