  • A Socio Behavioural Perspective for Understanding and Managing Behaviour Problems in Children with Epilepsy
    Behavioural Neurology (1992), S, 47-51 A socio behavioural perspective for understanding and managing behaviour problems in children with epilepsy C.A. Cull and S.W. Brown The David Lewis Centre for Epilepsy, Warford, Nr Alderly Edge, Cheshire, UK Correspondence to: G.A. Cull, Department of Clinical Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, De Crespigny Park, Denmark Hill, London SE5 8AF, UK In this paper, reasons for the occurrence of interictal behaviour disturbance in children with epilepsy, and the management of such problems, are considered. The search for a direct relationship between epilepsy related variables and behaviour disorders is far from conclusive. While such a relationship may exist with respect to ictal behaviour problems, this line of investigation is of limited value in respect of its implications for the management of interictal problems. In the latter case it is proposed that organic factors may be considered to be a risk factor. In addition, the negative psychosocial sequelae of a diagnosis of epilepsy can result in conditions which are likely to foster the development of inappropriate behaviours. Learning theory would further suggest that environmental contingencies have a role to play in the shaping and maintenance of such behaviours. This broader framework for conceptualising the development and maintenance of interictal behaviour disorders has clear management implications. Clinical examples of the successful application of this approach to the management of persistent behavioural problems in two young people with epilepsy are presented.

  • Shirley Hughes Was Born and Grew up in West Kirby, Near Liverpool. She
    Shirley Hughes was born and grew up in West Kirby, near Liverpool. She studied at Liverpool Art School and at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford, before embarking on a career as a freelance illustrator. At first she worked as an interpretive illustrator, but she began to write and design her own picture books when her children were very young. Her first book, Lucy and Tom's Day, was published in 1960. Now living in London's Notting Hill, Shirley Hughes has illustrated over two hundred children's books and is renowned as a champion of children's literature. She has been the recipient of the Other Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal and the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award. She was shortlisted for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, which rewards the best in contemporary children's and young adult literature from all over the world, in 2010. Shirley Hughes won the first ever Book Trust Lifetime Achievement Award for her outstanding contribution to children's literature. Book Trust CEO, Diana Gerald, says: ‘Book Trust is thrilled that our first ever Lifetime Achievement Award goes to someone whose remarkable, multi-talented contribution to children's fiction spans several generations and continues to this day. Her characters are imprinted on the memories of two or three generations, a recognition of their enduring charm. This evergreen storytelling is something we particularly want to celebrate with this award. ‘Significantly, Shirley continues to innovate and create, providing young children with a love of reading that we know will give them a great start in life.

    They were precipitated by strenuous exercise such as bicycle riding and racing and running. He would continue to ride automatically during seizures. Neurologic exam and MRI were normal. Interictal EEG showed left temporal lobe epileptiform discharges. He continues to have seizures during exercise despite treatment with carbamazepine and gabapentin. Neither patient had seizures induced by hyperventilation, passive and active stationary limb movement or by imagining competitive sports. (Sturm JW, Fedi M, Berkovic SF, Reutens DC. Exercise-induced temporal lobe epilepsy. Neurology 2002;59:1246-1248). (Reprints: Dr David C Reutens, Department of Neurology, Austin and Repatriation Medical Centre, Studley Road, Heidelberg, Victoria 3084, Australia). COMMENT. Reflex epilepsies in response to a well-defined precipitating stimulus occur in about 5% of patients with epilepsy. Exercise-induced epilepsies are usually generalized or frontal lobe in origin, and less commonly involve the temporal lobe. Other reflex precipitants for temporal lobe seizures include music, eating, hot water immersion, laughter, and thinking. The stimuli may involve emotional and motivational factors, and require complex processing in limbic structures. Exercise-induced seizures are rare and should not lead to a sedentary life-style. In fact, moderate exercise may offer some protection or improved control of epilepsy. LANGUAGE DISORDER WITH FOCAL EPILEPSIES The relationship between language disorder and epileptic seizures was examined in 109 children, ages 5-17 years, attending a national center for epilepsy over a 4 year period and at the University of Manchester, UK. Median age at onset of epilepsy was 2 years 5 months, and seizure onset was before 6 years of age in 89% of the cohort.

The findings show that over 200,000 more people are cycling at least once a week than were in October 2011. This exceeds the target set by Sport England four years ago by over 75,000 and brings the total number of people in England now cycling at least once a week to just under two million. The results also found the number of women cycling more regularly has risen dramatically over the last 12 months to almost 63,000.

Doping in Cycling: Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Routledge, pp. 177-188. https://www.routledge.com/Doping-in-Cycling-Interdisciplinary-Perspectives-1st- Edition/Fincoeur-Gleaves-Ohl/p/book/9781138477902 The Decline of Trust in British Sport since the London Olympics: Team Sky’s Fall from Grace Paul Dimeo and April Henning Abstract The success of Team Sky has been over-shadowed by a range of allegations and controversies, leaving significant doubts around their much-vaunted pro anti-doping stance. This chapter aims to contextualise these doubts within the wider frame of British sport, and more specifically the decline of trust. We trace the emergence of Team Sky from the National Lottery funded track team, arguing that the London Olympics was a pinnacle of medal-winning and public admiration. The turn towards professional road cycling was accompanied by new approaches to medicalisation. The Fancy Bears hack of WADA’s database, whistle-blower insights, Government inquiries, and media scrutiny have presented the public with sufficient evidence and critique to undermine the reputation of Team Sky’s management and riders. Other factors have contributed to the decline of trust, not least evidence of doping from the Russia investigations, the leaked IAAF blood files, the role of the IAAF senior managers, the conflict between WADA and the IOC over banning Russian athletes, and other related debates. We argue that the high-profile debate over the use of drugs in British professional cycling can be understood as symptomatic of a wider malaise affecting British sport, which in turn can be contextualised, explained, and seen as part of a broader shift in scepticism regarding political leaders and media organisations.

Representing the Knox region, she won the LAVic U11 1100m walk last Saturday in a new Victorian Record of 5:30.23. This follows her win in the Victorian U14 3000m walk (18:29.88) in last month’s Victorian T&F Championships. • Luke Epps, also from Knox, has been walking with distinction since he first started in the 2015/2016 summer season. He won the U9 and U10 LAVic walk titles in 2016 and 2017 respectively. And he has done it again this year, with a win in the U11 Boys 1100m walk. What makes this one stand out is that he did it in style, with a new Victorian record of 5:19.82. • And finally, Ballarat walker Alanna Peart provided something rarely seen when she won her seventh LAVic State Title in a row.
