Objective To explore the allocation of necessary living goods for the emergency medical rescue teams at Lushan earthquake sites. Methods The living goods requirements of 59 emergency medical rescue members at Lushan earthquake sites were investigated using a questionnaire and then analyzed, in order to provide references for the allocation of necessary living goods for emergency medical rescue teams in future. Results The top five necessary living goods for emergency medical rescue members at earthquake sites were food, drinking water, toilet, communication product, and bedclothe. The needs of bath of the members who stayed longer than 3 days were more than the members who stayed shorter than 3 days, with a significant difference (Plt;0.05). The number of living goods that female members need were more than that male members need (Plt;0.05). Conclusion For improving the work efficiency and quality of life, emergency medical rescue teams need to be equipped with not only the medical supplies, but also necessary living goods based on the length of stay and the ratio between male and female.
Objective To summarize and analyze the clinical and video-EEG (VEEG) characteristics of adult sleep-related epilepsy, so as to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data, routine EEG and long-term VEEG of 187 adult patients with sleep-related epilepsy treated in Department of Neurology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2017 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed by χ2 test. Results Clinical manifestations: The duration of sleep-related epilepsy in 187 adults was concentrated in 1~10 years (101 cases, 54.01%); the frequency of seizures was mainly from several to dozens of times a year (99 cases, 52.94%); 119 cases (63.64%) had two or more types of seizures. Among the patients, 121 cases (39.29%) had focal origin, 152 cases (49.35%) had bilateral tonic clonus and 110 cases (58.82%) were treated with two or more drugs. EEG results: ① The detection rate of epileptiform discharges in routine EEG was 22.78%, and that in long-term video EEG was 80.43%. There was significant difference between the two methods (P< 0.01); ② Eighteen epileptiform discharges were monitored by routine EEG during interparoxysmal period and 111 epileptiform discharges were monitored by video EEG; and ③ Fifty-six epileptic events were monitored and all occurred in the process of long-term VEEG monitoring, 50 of them occurred in sleep (89.29%) and 6 in awake (10.71%); 45 cases (80.36%) were diagnosed as epileptic seizures, 9 cases (16.07%) were diagnosed as non-epileptic seizures, and 2 cases (3.57%) could not be determined. ④ The detection rate of epileptic discharges during sleep was higher than that during awake period in long-term VEEG monitoring (P< 0.01). The detection rate of epileptiform discharges in NREM stage I–II was the highest in sleep stage. Conclusion Sleep-related epilepsy in adults has certain clinical features and EEG manifestations. Compared with conventional EEG, long-term video-EEG can improve the detection rate of epileptiform discharges, provide diagnostic basis for the qualitative analysis of sleep-related seizures, and reflect the relationship between epileptiform discharges and sleep, and provide basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related epilepsy in adults.
