Examining the role of physical activity in older adults with epilepsy Epilepsy disproportionately affects older adults due to acquired conditions including stroke, neurodegeneration and head trauma secondary to falls. Cu…

Pub alert!
We reviewed the role of physical activity in older adults with epilepsy. Older adults with epilepsy benefit from PA in more unique ways than young PWE! We reviewed effects to include neuroinflammation at cellular level to cognition

Do you know what to do following a sports-related concussion? Should we be prescribing 'cocooning,' which is strict cognitive and physical rest? NO. The recommendation should be "light physical activity and graduated aerobic exercise tailored to symptoms and heart rate. Initiate in 24-72 hours."

4 out of 10 people in the industrialized world and 8 out of 10 in developing nations do not receive appropriate treatment for their #epilepsy or seizures. Join us in spreading awareness about epilepsy and the importance of access to care today. #EpilepsyDay

Such an important aspect of medicine !

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.

Why is the EPA banning TCE for Parkinson's? The odds ratio for the dry cleaning chemical TCE and association with later Parkinson's is ridiculously high. and the community should thank the EPA and embrace this decision as a huge WIN for Parkinson's. This is a BIG DEAL.

Second AES, first as an attending, what an unbelievable experience. Here’s to all that we learned and the connections we made and rekindled.

Until next time @amepilepsysoc.bsky.social
