2020, Epilepsy and BehaviorPost-traumatic stress spectrum symptoms in parents of children affected by epilepsy: Gender differences
2020, SeizureCitation Excerpt :Differently, in studies on mothers of pre-term newborns exposed to numerous invasive procedures, emerged significantly both symptoms of re-evocation and avoidance [23]. Other authors pointed out more aspects linked to personal functioning and evidenced how mothers of chronically ill children reported significantly less satisfaction in family life, leisure time and daily functioning; consistently, female gender reported significantly higher stress responses to impairment-related difficulties [24–27]. Researches carried out in the last years on parents of children affected by different diseases: cancer, diabetes, epilepsy corroborated the same analysis regarding the female gender that see mothers more affected by post-traumatic stress symptoms and its consequences [20,21].
Epilepsy and exercise: An experimental study in female rats
2017, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Thus, non-pharmacological therapies are often sought by people with epilepsy. An increasing number of papers over recent years have put forward physical activity as a complementary therapy with beneficial effects for epilepsy [4,5,6,7,8,9]. For instance, clinical investigations have found that regular physical exercise may diminish seizure frequency and increase psychological and cardiovascular health in people with epilepsy [10,11].
Effects of different physical exercise programs on susceptibility to pilocarpine-induced seizures in female rats
2016, Epilepsy and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Although all animals were good runners, it is not possible to exclude the influence of minor stress from the results, as after all, animals submitted to the treadmill performed this physical activity during the diurnal period (the resting period for rats) and, unlike the voluntary exercise group, they were obligated to run. However, we would like to point out that recent studies have indicated that even exhaustive exercise (separate from moderate exercise, already established in literature) seems not to be a seizure-inducing factor [43,44]. Another possible reason for the difference found between groups, and this may be the main issue, is the difference in average running distance.
