Seizure disorders in Down syndrome.
The prevalence, onset, and type of seizure disorders, as well as seizure control, were studied in a large cohort of 405 individuals with Down syndrome (age range, 6 months to 45 years). The evaluation of a questionnaire completed by the subjects' parents and of the patients' medical records indicated that 33 (8.1%) of 405 persons with Down syndrome had seizure disorder. With regard to the onset of seizures, a bimodal distribution was noted: 40% of patients began having seizures before the age of 1 year, and another 40% started with seizure activity in the third decade of life. In the younger age group, primarily infantile spasms and tonic-clonic seizures with myoclonus were observed, and the older patients often had partial simplex or partial complex seizures as well as tonic-clonic seizures.

One more time--solutions to the nursing shortage.
The shortage of registered nurses continues nationwide. Reviewing factors that contribute to the recurring crisis, the authors recommend short- and long-term solutions, which focus on retention as more effective and less expensive than recruitment. The authors also discuss the complex issues of employing agency RNs and recruiting of foreign-educated RNs.
