In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Figure skates provide specialized support and control for advanced skaters. This allows skaters to execute jumps, spins and difficult turns. These skates will be very different from those for recreational skaters. Figure skaters need professional advice in selecting skates, so don't shop from regular department stores. Having the right pair of skates is much too important to risk buying from anyone who isn't trained to help competitive skaters. High quality figure skating boots can cost $600, with the blades costing around the same. Speak to your local store or coach to determine the amount you will need to budget for your skates. If your budget is tight, it may be better to purchase higher quality used skates as opposed to lower quality new skates. Make sure the used skates fit correctly, have sufficient support, and have blades that still have some “sharpening life” left. When in doubt, consult with your coach or another professional before buying. Figure skates can be quite expensive, so it is important to choose the correct ones for your size and ability. Don't assume that the first pair you try will work; you may need to try several different sizes in several different brands before you find something that works. There should be no extra room in the boot. Figure skates are meant to fit quite tightly to increase stability while skating. In fact, many figure skates can be heat molded to fit your feet exactly. Take advantage of this opportunity -- "baking" will mold the skates to your feet as perfectly as possible.  Measure both your feet when deciding on your shoe size in case one foot is bigger than the other. Sizing differs between brands, so be aware that if you choose a new brand, you may also need to choose a new size. Choose the correct width. Many figure skates come in narrow or wide sizes, so don't settle for a mediocre fit. While pre-assembled packages are fine for beginners and recreational skaters, it is better for intermediate and advanced skaters to choose their boots and blades separately. This allows you to customize your features according to your body and style. Again, consulting a professional is crucial. Your coach or another professional can help make sure you get the right combination of boots and blades. Competitive boots are typically made of leather and come in different levels of support. Boots for those completing single jumps will be lightweight while those for doubles and triples will be stiffer to provide a better level of support and stability. Stronger, heavier skaters should choose boots that offer additional support. Higher quality blades will be sharpened less often and have better flow on the ice. Blade quality will affect spin and jump quality so it is an important aspect of your skates. Blades are usually chosen based on the size and features of the toe pick.  Larger toe picks give more stability for jumps. Smaller toe picks and shorter blades are better for dance and synchronized skating. Parabolic blades are good for those having trouble with edge slips. K-picks are for those who skid or slip or toe jumps. Advanced figure skaters may need to make minor adjustments to their skates for the perfect fit. If you find the right pair of skates, and they fit well in general but rub your feet uncomfortably in just one or two places, you can have them "punched" (pushed out a bit in particular spots). Properly secured laces are essential for providing stability and comfort while skating.  Make sure your foot is placed in the boot all the way and tighten up the laces in the first half of the boot. The laces in this section should be secure but not overly tight. Lace the second half of the boot and pull hard over the top of the foot and where the ankle bends. This area is the most the important part of lacing figure skates. Finish lacing the boots around the hooks without pulling the laces too hard. The laces should be secure but not overly tight.
Summary: Choose figure skates if you are an intermediate to advanced-level figure skater. Purchase skates through your coach or from a dedicated skating store. Determine your budget. Know that finding the right skates can take time. Choose the correct size. Buy your boots and blades separately. Select higher quality boots according to your level. Choose higher quality blades. Customize your skates as needed. Lace your skates properly every time you wear them.

Problem: Article: Every time you (or someone with you) has a seizure it is important to write down what happened. Often a doctor will request the patient to keep a seizure log prior to any examination. Always include the date and time of any seizure, as well as how long it lasted, what it looked like, and anything that could have triggered it (such as lack of sleep, stress, or injury).  If you are the one who experienced the seizure, ask for input from people who witnessed it. When you or someone you love experiences an unexplained symptoms, it is important for them to visit a doctor. Bring along as much information as possible to help give the doctor a clear picture of the seizure activity. Prepare for a doctor’s appointment by:  Finding out about any pre-appointment restrictions, and following these restrictions. (The doctor may ask the patient to alter your diet or sleep pattern.) Recording any recent life changes or sources of stress. Writing down any medications the patient is taking, including vitamins. Making arrangements for a family member or friend along to the appointment. Writing down any questions for the doctor. In order to determine the cause of the seizure, the doctor will listen carefully to all of the symptoms and do a basic physical examination. Additionally, the doctor will evaluate the patient for physical and neurological conditions that can lead to seizure activity. The  evaluation is likely to include:  Blood tests - These will be used to check for signs of infections, genetic conditions, or other health conditions that could be associated with a risk of seizure. A neurological exam - This can help the doctor diagnose the condition and possibly determine the type of epilepsy present. This can include tests of behavior, motor abilities, and mental function. Based on the symptoms present, any previous medical history, the results of any blood tests, and any findings from the neurological exam, the doctor may order a series of tests. Tests used to detect brain abnormalities can include:  Electroencephalogram (EEG) High-density EEG Computerized tomography (CT) scan Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Functional MRI (fMRI) Positron emission tomography (PET) Single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) Neuropsychological tests Complete Blood Count (CBC) test to eliminate infection, anemia, glucose fluctuations, or thrombocytopenia Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) or creatine test to exclude electrolyte disturbances, hypoglycemia, or uremia Drug and alcohol screening Determining the location of the electrical discharges in the brain can help the doctor understand the cause of  certain seizures. Neurological analysis techniques are often done in conjunction with other neurological tests, such as MRIs and EEGs. Some neurological analysis techniques include:   Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) Curry analysis Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
Summary:
Maintain a detailed seizure log. Schedule an appointment with your doctor. Request a medical evaluation. Request more advanced tests to detect brain abnormalities. Work with a doctor to pinpoint where seizures originate in the brain.
