Osteoporosis is a condition in which your bones break down faster than they regrow. Treatment usually includes a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. The most aggressive way to prevent bone loss is to take prescription medications.
To this point, direct examination of brain activity as a window into the clientâs mind has remained elusive. But advances in the field of brain examination using electroencephalographs (EEGs) may be changing all that. The first EEG was developed in the 1920âs by the German psychiatrist Hans Berger. He developed it to test the biological electricity produced in the brain, and first used it during brain surgery performed in 1924 on a 17-year-old boy.
The main use of an EEG is to detect and investigate epilepsy, a condition that causes repeated seizures. An EEG will help your doctor identify the type of epilepsy you have, what may be triggering your seizures, and how best to treat you. Less often, an EEG may be used to investigate other problems, such as dementia, head injuries, brain tumours, encephalitis (brain inflammation) and sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnoea.
