Our theme for Day 5 of #NationalEpilepsyAwarenessMonth (or #NEAM) is all about Seizure Classification. Understanding seizure classification is vital for accurate diagnosis and care. Let's dive in! 🧵 #EpilepsyAwareness
ALT National Epilepsy Awareness Month — November 2026 calendar: purple-themed daily social media prompts for advocacy and understanding, showing a grid of topics (e.g., What is epilepsy?, SUDEP, tests, seizure triggers, self-care).

172 studies of 26,000 subjects conclude:
Physical distance;
mask;
and eye protection.
What prevents #COVID19 spread?
And to what extent?
An exceptional systematic analysis of 172 global studies in ~26,000 people (not randomized trials)
—Physical distancing > 1 m; & more the better
—Masks (N95 > surgical/cotton)
—Eye protection
