Background: Numerous cognitive impairments have been documented in patients with epilepsy, particularly in relation to memory and executive functions. However, research on time perception is relatively limited and primarily focuses on temporal lobe epilepsy. The current study seeks to compare time perception performance between patients with focal epilepsy and those with generalized epilepsy.

While HGS has been shown to decline in numerous diseases, it has not been previously examined in patients diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy. This study aims to investigate the differences in hand grip strength between individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy and healthy volunteers.

- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) involves upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to conditions that may cause hypoxia, which affects symptoms and related diseases.
- The study compared time perception between individuals with varying severities of OSA and healthy controls, using tests to measure how participants perceive time.
- Findings revealed that individuals with OSA had a slower internal clock, with the slowdown intensifying in severity from mild to severe OSA, suggesting that recurrent hypoxia impacts attention and time perception.
Article Synopsis
- * About 9.8% of the patients died during hospitalization, with older individuals and those with preexisting kidney issues showing higher mortality rates due to severe injuries and complications.
- * Key factors influencing mortality included age, injury severity, shock, and certain elevated lab values, highlighting the need for better disaster preparedness and health care improvements for future events.
