A method and system for determining the fall risk of a patient is provided. The method includes the evaluation of a patient to determine whether the patient exhibits one or more intrinsic fall risk factors selected from a group consisting of confusion, depression, altered elimination, dizziness, male gender, antiepileptic / anticonvulsant prescriptions and benzodiazepine prescriptions. A specific point value is assigned to each of the intrinsic risk factors found to be exhibited by the patient. A mobility test is also performed on the patient to evaluate the patient's ability to rise from a seated position, and a specific mobility test point value is assigned to the patient based upon the patient's performance of the mobility test. Each intrinsic risk factor's specific point value is then summed together with the specific mobility test point value to achieve a total risk score, and the patient's fall risk is determined based on the total risk score. An intervention process may be developed for the patient based on the patient's fall risk.

The present disclosure relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). In particular the TSC is treatment resistant and is characterised by generalised seizures or focal seizures with impairment. The disclosure further relates to the use of CBD in combination with one or more anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs).

The invention discloses a solid preparation for treating pediatric epilepsy and a preparation method thereof. The solid preparation is a dispersed preparation and comprises active agent core particles, wherein the core particles just comprise medicines for treating epilepsy or comprise the medicines for treating epilepsy and one or several excipients. Through the adoption of a taste masking mixture coating comprises the core particles of anti-epileptic medicines, coating particles are formed. The solid preparation is capable of masking the uncomfortable taste, has the function of improving the stability of the medicines, and can be used for solving the problem that children have difficulty in swallowing the bitter medicines.
