An otherwise healthy 17-year-old girl presents with a 4-month history of episodes of déjà vu or unpleasant olfactory aura, followed by a period of staring, confusion, and unresponsiveness that lasts 30 to 90 seconds. she then develops headache, nausea, and extreme fatigue. more recently, the episodes are associated with depersonalization, a sinking feeling, and periods of “blacking out.” she has mild short-term memory deficits on examination. mri scan of the brain is normal. what medication is likely to improve her symptoms?

The correct anwer for this exercise is:

Lamotrigine will improve her condition.

Explanation:

Olfactory aura and headaches are common in migraine with aura. Staring, unresponsiveness, and amnesia are uncommon. so, epileptic medicines like nortriptyline or propranolol won't be effective. And because nonepileptic seizures can be difficult of differentiating we need further scan and a different kind of drug, which in or case will be lamotrigine because it helps both conditions without increasing them. The rest mentioned help one but increase the other one.

no, because those are both different running competitions. while distance runners train their legs and their lungs to run long amounts of time, the sprinters are training their legs and their lungs to give all they have in the little amount of area they need to cover. the brain also plays a huge part in all of this.

the brain is the only thing in your body that sends messages to your body telling you to run. if you are a long distance runner and you have the mind set of a sprinter, you will not get anywhere. if you have a long distance mind set and you have to run 200m in 20 seconds then you will not make it in time.
