This is an online E log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patient's problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs. This E log book also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio and your valuable inputs on the comment box.

NEUROLOGY(D)

  A1. Occurrence of seizure due to brain stroke: ·          Cells in the brain send electrical signals to one another ·          The electrical signals pass along your nerves to all parts of the body ·          A sudden abnormal burst of electrical activity in the brain can lead to the signals to the nerves being disrupted, causing a seizure ·          This electrical disturbance can happen because of stroke damage in the brain. ·          A seizure can affect vision, smell and taste, loss of consciousness and jerking movements. Mechanism of seizure activity: ·          You’re more likely to have a seizure if you had a haemorrhagic stroke (bleed on the brain). ·          Seizures can also be more likely if you had a severe stroke, or a stroke in the cerebral cortex, the large outer layer of the brain where vital functions like movement, thinking, vision and emotion take place. ·          Some people will have repeated seizures, and be diagnosed with epilepsy. ·          The
