Chapter 400 Qin Feng's Fame

Chapter 4 Qin Feng's Fame

Facing the eyes of the crowd, Qin Feng came to the emergency room, and happened to meet a flat car getting off the ambulance.

Glancing at the person lying on the flat car, Qin Feng saw that the patient was wearing a school uniform, and he should be a student from a nearby high school.

"What's wrong with the patient?"

"The patient suddenly fell to the ground during physical education class, and his upper limbs were paralyzed." Dr. Che said.

"What about the patient's medical history?" Qin Feng asked.

"The family provided it. It's not the first time the patient's symptoms have appeared. It has happened many times before. Many hospitals in Shanghai think it is intractable epilepsy in the functional area." Dr. Che said.

Qin Feng frowned, and continued to ask: "What are the treatment plans given by those hospitals before?"

This kind of epilepsy, as long as the right medicine is prescribed and the treatment plan is correct, the recurrence will not be so serious.

"Several hospitals are treating with drugs, mainly oxcarbazepine and Keplan." Dr. Che said.

Oxcarbazepine is an antiepileptic drug used alone or as an add-on treatment for partial-onset seizures in adults.

Keplan is also an anti-epileptic drug, but it has more side effects than oxcarbazepine. After taking it, it may cause behavioral disturbances, arrhythmia or abnormal vision in patients.

It's just that oxcarbazepine can be prescribed to children under 4 years old, but Caplan can't.

There is nothing wrong with these two drugs, except that epilepsy is a chronic recurrent transient brain dysfunction syndrome, characterized by repeated epileptic seizures caused by abnormal discharge of brain neurons. Simply using drugs can only provide relief. If you want to solve epilepsy from the root cause, you can only perform surgery.

However, the surgical operation room for epilepsy is very strict, and the operation is difficult, and not all epilepsy patients can be treated by surgery.

Some patients have epilepsy lesions, such as brain tumors, vascular malformations, vascular sclerosis, etc. This kind of associated epilepsy can be curbed by resection of the lesions to prevent the recurrence of epilepsy.

But the other part of the patients have no specific cause of the disease. They can only know that it is caused by abnormal discharge of neurons. Surgery is too difficult. So far, there have been too few successful cases of neuron surgery, and it can even be said that there are no cases. A complete discipline of surgery has not yet been formed.

"Has the patient considered resection of the lesion before?" Qin Feng asked.

The family member shook his head and said: "I have considered it, but the hospital said that the risk of surgery is too high and the cure rate is very low, so we have no use and only use drug suppression."

"The risk of surgery is too high? What surgery are they going to do?" Qin Feng asked.

"It seems to be a fascination or something." The family members don't remember this proper term.

"Vagus Nerve Stimulation?"

"Yep."

In terms of this surgery, it makes sense. Indeed, vagus nerve stimulation is similar in principle to pacemaker placement surgery. Intermittent vagus nerve stimulation is performed by placing a nerve control auxiliary system to combat anti-epilepsy Patients who are ineffective in drug therapy but cannot accurately locate the lesion and undergo surgical resection.

This is a brand new, non-drug method of treating epilepsy, and surgery is indeed very practical.

In the mid-20s, doctors discovered that VNS (vagus nerve stimulation) can not only terminate epileptic seizures, but can also continue to prevent epileptic seizures for a period of time after VNS has stopped. Even if the vagus nerve is cut off from the distal end, VNS can still function. effect.

Until 2005, this technology was already very mature. The difficulty mainly lies in the doctor's understanding of the human body, and even the need to understand the impact of the data of the stimulation group on the patient, so as to avoid the situation that the implant cannot take effect.

Even the frequency of pulsations can affect the patient's normal brain instructions, causing problems for the patient himself.

The cure rate is low for this reason. As long as this situation is overcome, patients can live like normal people.

The doctors of Modu Hospital are still capable. After taking antiepileptic drugs for patients, the effect is not obvious, and no lesions can be found on brain CT. Vagus nerve stimulation is the best choice for patients.

Although the shortcomings are obvious, Qin Feng can't think of the second method. If Qin Feng can think of the second method, among other things, the Nobel will definitely be secured, and that is a cross-age research.

"You have seen your child's condition now, and it has already affected half of the body. My suggestion is to perform surgery in time, otherwise, there will be no chance for subsequent surgery." Qin Feng said.

"Ah, it's so serious, can't you just take medicine?" The family members still felt that the operation was too risky.

"The medicine is no longer effective for your child. If it worked, your child would not be sent to our hospital." Qin Feng said seriously.

The family members were silent. Qin Feng was indeed right. If the medicine was effective, how could his own child be sent to the hospital?

The patient lying on the hospital bed cried: "Mom and Dad, let me have an operation. I am willing to take the risk no matter how high it is. I don't want to be tortured anymore."

"In school, my classmates are talking about me because of this disease. Even in class, I am always worried that I will get sick, let alone when I go out to play with my friends."

"I just want to have a complete campus life, and I don't want to be said to have facial paralysis anymore. I also want to live like a normal person, instead of being an object of wariness in the eyes of my classmates and teachers."

"You child, why didn't you tell us earlier, we will arrange for you to transfer schools." The patient's mother blamed.

"Is it useful to change schools? As long as my illness is still there, I can go to other schools for the same treatment." The patient lowered his head.

Qin Feng felt a little sorry for this patient. Public opinion is actually very harmful to a child, and it may be a lifelong shadow.

Don't think that all children are good children. There are always a small group of people who take pleasure in hitting others where they hurt. The teacher will not care about it and will only think it is a joke among the students.

But I don’t know that this joke will destroy a child’s self-esteem, especially for epilepsy patients like the patient. It is really difficult to make friends. After all, other children are also afraid of you suddenly having a seizure and falling down.

"Mom, you may not surf the Internet much. The young doctor in front of you is very powerful. I believe he can cure me." The patient suddenly stared at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and the patient's mother looked at Qin Feng again.

Before, her heart was all about her child, and the patient's mother had no time to see Qin Feng. At this time, the patient's mother felt a sense of familiarity coming.

"You're the one on Douyin..."

On the contrary, the patient became excited and said like an endorsement: "The world's youngest founder of toe transplantation and thumb reconstruction also led a team that had never performed skull separation surgery on conjoined twins, and completed the skull separation surgery successfully. Saved the lives of two babies..."
