Good news! 🥳 The paper from my PhD is published. This thread will document the paper's key findings about changes in brain structure and function with seizure remission in self-limiting epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes (SeLECTs). 1/23 https://t.co/gPqlF652ju @EpilepsyBehavi1

@BrainAblaze If you are referring to the hard setting glue used for long term monitoring. The removal of this requires specific solvents to loosen. Sometimes the use of olive oil with combing can aid the removal. At the end of the test your EEG tech should be removing all of the glue. 2/2

@BrainAblaze It depends on what you mean by “glue”. If is the paste (10:20 paste usually) which is applied for outpatient EEG then this can be easily washed away with water. Combing through wet hair with conditioner should remove all of the paste. 1/2

I was diagnosed with epilepsy as a young adult. I’ve been seizure-free for several years, but I often think about the journey it has taken to get to this place and many that are at the beginning of that journey now.

Today is Purple Day for @epilepsysociety , and I’m wearing my purple ribbon.

Epilepsy affects many, but the wider effects are not commonly understood.

So there’s more we can do to spread awareness and stand up to seizures. 💜

[Epilepsy Society @epilepsysociety]

It's Purple Day!

There are 630,000 people with epilepsy in the UK. Together, we are stronger. Together, we can Stand Up to Seizures. 💜

@EEGHub @SheikhISMD @RoohiKatyal @namesare4babies @fabnascimen Good to mention that REM sleep is divided into phasic and tonic stages. Phasic involves rapid eye movements which can occur in conjunction with saw tooth waves over the midline and central regions. 😉

This looks interesting. The goal of our research should be to take knowledge and improve outcomes for our patients. I expect it will be well attended. 🧠⚡️🧬 @ILAEBRITISH @EpilepsyInst @epilepsysociety @IlaeWeb

My update on reports that far-right groups are now planning to target locations in London:

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

Mobilise to defend immigration lawyers, refugee charities and asylum support centres around Britain. The far right have published a list of targets for Wednesday night. Protests are being called to defend them #RefugeesWelcome

Watch this thread for local details 🧵

[𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 𝔻. 𝕎. 𝕊𝕞𝕚𝕥𝕙 🇺🇦 @Neurospindle]

We need more public figures to stand up and denounce the racist violence we saw over the last few days. Britain is a diverse and tolerant country which is proud of its multiculturalism.

[Amanda Pritchard @AmandaPritchard]

I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS.

I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.

[𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 𝔻. 𝕎. 𝕊𝕞𝕚𝕥𝕙 🇺🇦 @Neurospindle]

Great to see my home city standing up to the mindless violence. British people will not tolerate racist riots and attacks. We are, and will always be, a tolerant, diverse and multicultural society.

If you live in the most deprived areas of the UK, your risk of epilepsy is increased by 34% compared to if you live in the least deprived. This is true for adults and children. Read more about it here: https://t.co/1M5pRpQGLp
