Epilepsy is a major chronic condition of the nervous system affecting almost 380000 people in England and occasionally results in death of the patient. Although epilepsy and its treatment are complex, there is evidence to support a significant gap in epilepsy care, ranging from a lack of adequate record keeping of seizure occurrence to poor referral systems. This article provides a broad introduction to the condition, discusses the incidence, disease process, diagnosis, classification and the various ways, both conventional and otherwise, in which it can be managed. By understanding the above, it will assist healthcare practitioners to improve their knowledge about management of a client with epilepsy entrusted to their care.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between bone mineral content (BMC) and bone area of the lumbar vertebral and femur in professional water polo players and their non-athlete male counterparts. This investigation was in the form of a comparative and cause-effect study. 17 professional male water polo players presence in the national team of Iran with having average age (23.06±1.70 yr), height (179.73±4.25 cm), weight (78.92±9.94 kg), participating background in water polo (8±1.2 yr) together with 17 healthy male non-athletes with having average age (25.83±2.59 yr), height (168.94±8.06 cm), and weight (65.84±9.69 kg). BMC and bone area were measured with Dual energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Data analysis was done by descriptive and inferential (T-test) statistical methods using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software (version 16). The obtained results in this study showed that there is significant difference between lumbar vertebral and femur BMC of the participants, respectively (T=4.15, P=0.001 and T=7.63 P=0.001). Also, significant difference for bone area of the lumbar vertebral and femur was observed among participants, respectively (T=4.04, P=0.001 and T=4.45, P=0.001). But there was no significant difference between L4 bone area of the participants (T=1.86, P=0.072). The results of this research clarified that Water polo exercise can be an effective factor on BMC and bone area increase.

When fully automatic image analysis is not feasible, an interactive, semiautonomous system may suffice. We present an application in electron microscopy in which the user gives the computer varying degrees of autonomy to detect gold-stained proteins in images of the surface of a cell. Initially, the system operates in a manual mode: the user clicks the mouse on the image to designate the coordinates of a protein molecule. In the most autonomous mode, a single mouse click inside a cluster of particles spawns an agent which "nests" in a molecule and "breeds": producing copies of itself each of which searches for a molecule. The user always has the option to override the autonomous labeling, so classification accuracy is assured.
