An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The term seizure threshold is used to describe the balance between excitatory (glutaminergic) and inhibitory (GABA-ergic) forces in the brain which affect how susceptible a person is to seizures. Those diagnosed with epilepsy or certain other neurological conditions are more vulnerable to seizures if the threshold is reduced, and should be compliant with their anticonvulsant drug regimen. Cancer and certain disorders of the nervous, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems can also influence the severity and frequency of seizures.

dbo:abstract
  • El umbral convulsivo es el balance entre factores inhibitorios y excitatorios del cerebro humano que determina la susceptibilidad de una persona a sufrir una convulsión. Las personas con diagnóstico de epilepsia o algunas otras enfermedades neurológicas son vulnerables a desarrollar nuevos episodios convulsivos si el umbral se altera, por lo que deben ser particularmente cuidadosas y obedientes con sus tratamientos, especialmente si usan anticonvulsivantes. Drogas como los antidepresivos, los antagonistas nicotínicos (e.g. bupropión), los analgésicos opioides (e.g. tramadol), y antihistamínicos, pueden disminuir el umbral convulsivo. También otros factores como fatiga, desnutrición, deprivación de sueño o descanso, hipertensión arterial, stress, diabetes, la presencia de flashes o luces estroboscópicas, movimiento rápido o vuelo, disbalances de la glicemia, ansiedad, etc​ (es)
  • The term seizure threshold is used to describe the balance between excitatory (glutaminergic) and inhibitory (GABA-ergic) forces in the brain which affect how susceptible a person is to seizures. Those diagnosed with epilepsy or certain other neurological conditions are more vulnerable to seizures if the threshold is reduced, and should be compliant with their anticonvulsant drug regimen. Medications that lower seizure threshold include the antidepressant and nicotinic antagonist bupropion, the atypical opioid analgesics tramadol and tapentadol, reserpine, theophylline, antibiotics (fluoroquinolones, imipenem, penicillins, cephalosporins, metronidazole, isoniazid) and volatile anesthetics. So can other factors, including: * sleep deprivation * illicit drug use, such as cocaine * withdrawal from drugs or certain stimuli * fever * exposure to flashing or flickering lights (photosensitive epilepsy) including neon lights, strobe lights, video games or even patterns like narrow stripes * lengthy periods of fasting, malnutrition, starvation, high stress, fear, fatigue and exhaustion * menstruation * uncontrolled diabetes, and * other endocrine and metabolic irregularities like electrolyte or hormonal imbalances (for example, metabolic alkalosis) Cancer and certain disorders of the nervous, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems can also influence the severity and frequency of seizures.
