The incidence and prevalence of epilepsy in the United Kingdom 2013 –2018: A retrospective cohort study of UK primary care data
The estimated incidence (50 –80 per 100,000 person-years) and prevalence rates (5–10 per 1000 person / year) for epilepsy have been found to be relatively consistent across high income countries [1–3]. Nevertheless, changes in demographics and risk factors mean that the epidemiology of epilepsy may change over time. For instance, in countries with an aging population, the increasing prevalence of diseases of old age such as stroke or dementia could increase the prevalence of epilepsy. Conversely, improved General Practitioner (GP) and specialist training, improved guidance for clinicians, better obstetric care and mo...

The final puff: Can New Zealand quit smoking for good?
Smoking kills. Ayesha Verrall has seen it up close. As a young resident physician in New Zealand’s public hospitals in the 2000s, Verrall watched smokers come into the emergency ward every night, struggling to breathe with their damaged lungs. Later, as an infectious disease specialist, she saw how smoking exacerbated illness in individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. She would tell them: “The best thing you can do to promote your health, other than take the pills, is to quit smoking.”
Verrall is still urging citizens to give up cigarettes—no longer just one by one, but by the thousands. As New...
