Abstract:
Epilepsy is a common neurologic disease and presents a major public health problem. Patients with epilepsy have unexpected occurrence of seizures with many triggered by existing triggering factors such as alcohol, stress etc. Other potential triggers include certain weather or atmospheric parameters and local geomagnetic activity. We have analyzed the impact of atmospheric parameters grouped in 6 grouped weather types or weather regimes and the local geomagnetic activity through the K - index. In the prospective study, we analyzed a total of 431 seizures over a 17-month period. In the results obtained, we found that the most severely common weather regime grouped type of weather was radiation and then precipitation regime. It was also found that grouped weather types of weather regimes had more impact on generalized than focal epileptic seizures. Local geomagnetic activity had no direct effect on the occurrence of epileptic seizures. Those results confirm the thesis how the impact of certain external factors is complex and that the further study is required in that respect.
摘要:
癫痫是一种常见的神经系统疾病,是主要的公共卫生问题。癫痫患者会意外发生癫痫发作,许多癫痫发作是由现有的触发因素如酒精引发的,压力等。其他潜在的触发因素包括某些天气或大气参数以及当地地磁活动。我们通过K指数分析了按6个分组的天气类型或天气状况分组的大气参数的影响以及当地的地磁活动。在前瞻性研究中,我们分析了17个月内的431例癫痫发作.在获得的结果中,我们发现,最严重的常见天气制度分组类型的天气是辐射,然后是降水制度。还发现,分组天气类型的天气方案对广泛性癫痫发作的影响比局灶性癫痫发作更大。局部地磁活动对癫痫发作的发生没有直接影响。这些结果证实了这一论点,即某些外部因素的影响是复杂的,在这方面需要进一步的研究。
