AF is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, stroke, cognitive impairment and dementia, and mortality. Individuals with AF have a 5-fold risk of ischemic stroke, and AF-related strokes are associated with greater disability and mortality compared with strokes from other causes. Moreover, the burden of AF and AF-related stroke on patients, their caregivers, health-care systems, and society is significant and projected to increase in the coming decades due to the rapid growth of the ageing population. The care and management of patients with AF and AF-related stroke are challenging, often involving complex decision-making to weigh the risks and benefits of various treatment and prevention strategies. This topical review focuses on the latest science and advances in AF and AF-related stroke and identifies knowledge gaps and future directions of continued research. left hemispheric acute infarct, as well as evidence of hyperintensities in bilateral hemispheres suggestive of small vessel disease.","PeriodicalId":53921,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Neurociencia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47062897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Without having yet emerged from a pandemic, we are now facing another conflict that will have an impact on mortality and the global economy. War is a social conflict that goes with the same history of humanity and it is usually experienced not only between nations but also within each country, each small society, and even within families. Neurologists often find it necessary to certify that the patriarch or the mother of a family is unable to make decisions due to a fixed or progressive cognitive deterioration, while the children break their ties out of economic ambition or simply for the sake of power. The same happens in social groups, organizations, and societies. The quest to have more, the envy, the desire to transcend or to feel powerful makes people’s and nations’ leaders to be both admired and hated at the same time. The followers will applaud the aggressions, while the opponents will mark distance and will try to convince others about the unfairness of the warlike maneuver that the leader is exercising. The same happens with organizations: the representative tends to forget those who supported him and exercises their power by rewarding those close to them, their friends, and cornering those who dare to raise their voices demanding justice or at least space. Are these social struggles a reflection of the illness of a leader who tries to exercise his will? The answer is not simple, justice has its edges and what is valid in one society may be punished in another, what is logical and adequate for one group may be crushing and impoverishing for another. What I believe is always terrible, no matter which perspective it belongs to, is the loss of lives that were not even participating or had minimal interest in the conflict generated, as well as the fact that people have to leave their homes, their homeland, and their family, for the interest of others. It is unfortunate to have to leave a whole history, belongings, and memories behind or to have them destroyed by someone who feels superior because they carry a weapon. In what area of our brain does the war process initiate? There is no doubt that this is the organ that creates good and bad actions, the one generates envy, ambition, destruction, and war. Countries like ours are living their own war, as incredible as it may seem, as many people die because of social conflicts as the lives that are being lost in Ukraine and the most unfortunate thing seems to be the indifference in which many of us seem to carry the situation, “as long as, it does not affect me, my family, my friends, and my interests, it does not matter.” However, ev","PeriodicalId":53921,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Neurociencia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44664729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Thirty-three subjects were studied with clinical and electrophysiological diagnosis of absence seizures without antiepileptic medication, video-electroencephalogram was applied. We obtained clinical behavior and electrophysiological variables during seizures and General Linear Model was applied, with p < 0.05. Source analysis was carried out with VARETA method. Results: 174 seizures were evaluated. 75.75% showed interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) and 12.12% showed posterior delta activity. There was an unequal behavior in relation with total electro-clinical seizures and presence or no of IED (p = 0.02), namely between subjects without IED in EEG and multifocal EEG (p = 0.008). Quantity of seizures recorded during HPV had a different behavior between subjects without IED in EEG and multifocal EEG (p = 0.03) and between focal and multifocal EEG (p = 0.04). Source analysis (VARETA) evidence the onset frontal of seizures in 57.47%, mesial and dorsolateral regions in 43% and 57%, respectively.

Our objective is to review what has been described as conscious breathing theory and how this can affect cognitive tasks, which have been described as very affected in adults and which reduce with age. How-ever, we have begun to understand a new phenomenon of andragogic learning, which indicates that the task of learning must be understood differently, and that attention is something that must be understood as something that does not decrease with age but changes. It also seems that conscious breathing tasks can improve this type of task and that it can be beneficial.
