Background: Febrile Seizures are common in childhood. When a child is stricken with febrile Seizures it is not only the child that is suffering, in fact the whole family is affected. There are different ways to prevent recurrence of febrile Seizures, such as use of different drugs. The parents also need information about febrile Seizures and support from the nurse. Aim: The aim of this literature study was to illuminate the nurse?s preventive work for children who have been stricken with febrile Seizures.

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition in dogs, being a common reason for death in the statistics from the insurance company Agria in Sweden. Among the different types of epilepsy, idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is the most common and is characterized by the fact that a veterinary examination does not reveal a cause for the Seizures. This study has been conducted through studies of medical records and interviews with dog owners. From a total number of 103 dogs that were neurologically examined for Seizures, 42 dogs met the inclusion criteria, being classified as having idiopathic epilepsy. When the study was performed, 28 dogs had died, while 14 were still alive.

ABSTRACT Epilepsy describes a neurologically caused condition which involves Seizures. Epilepsy can be classified according to different types of causes and the nature of Seizures can vary. Medication for epilepsy in dogs is limited in comparison with human medicine. Idiopathic epilepsy is the most common neurological disease and one of the most common genetic diseases in dogs. Because epilepsy has a higher prevalence in certain breeds, there is reason to suspect that it is a hereditary disease. The inheritance of idiopathic epilepsy is for most breeds not determined, except for a few variants of the disease.

The purpose of this scientific essay is to evaluate if a continuous glucose monitoring system is something that can benefit Swedish animal health care. The study investigates if it is medically possible to use continuous glucose monitoring systems on dogs with an apparatus attached to their bodies. Furthermore, I try to establish whether this is possible in practice and how it could be done. The keywords used were diabetes mellitus, insulin, continuous glucose monitoring, blood glucose monitoring, dog, pet owner and animal nursing care. Furthermore, I wanted to find out if this system could be an alternative to currently established methods to measure the patient?s blood glucose level.

Epilepsi är ett tillstånd med återkommande oprovocerade krampanfall under en längre tid, och är den vanligaste förekommande neurologiska sjukdomen hos hund. Krampanfall uppstår då det blir en obalans mellan de excitatoriska och de inhibitoriska signalerna i hjärnan vilket leder till en okontrollerad urladdning av neuron. Ett anfall består av olika faser; prodromal, aura, iktus, postiktus och interiktus. Epilepsi hos hund delas in i genetisk epilepsi, strukturell epilepsi och epilepsi av okänd orsak. Epilepsi behandlas vanligtvis med medicin i form av fenobarbital, kaliumbromid eller benzodiazepiner. Dessa substanser verkar på olika sätt i hjärnan för att motverka att ett krampanfall uppkommer eller för att bryta ett pågående anfall.

Transit Objects In the Master Essay I argue around two existing levels in the works presented at the graduation exhibition. On the one hand, it is about influence; on the other hand it is about the phenotypes of purpose-ness. In the introduction, I describe the relationship between the shapes that I have come to call Transit objects, and their on the one hand ideological superstructure; on the other hand, the different aspects of their shapes regarding the imitation I, in creating the objects, performed. In the case with the objects shape-aspects, I stand on the thoughts that I found during my bachelor's work, that is, to express the phenotypes of purpose-ness.When it comes to influence, I speculate about how linguistics, and particularly a branch called neuro-linguistics, illustrates how the arguments that make up our world can be transformed. I use a meta-model and a conversation model as a tool to illustrate this. When I, like that, illustrate the plasticity of meaning, and cognition, I note Catherine Malabous taught (in her book What Should we do with our brain?) on the plasticity of the brain in relation to the neo-liberal systems of capitalism. She argues for how the brain has come to stand model for the organization of different types of networks. I hint the link to a future scenario where the desire to influence takes new forms and uses the latest brain research challenges, more specifically the use of ultrasound for the treatment of pain and other similar conditions. This also can be used as generating various types of Seizures, pleasant or unpleasant.
