Many epilepsy patients exhibit intermittent abnormal brain activity, evident as abnormal electrical events on electroencephalography (EEG), at times when they are not having a seizure. Despite the ease with which these so-called interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) can be detected, and a reasonable understanding of the physiological processes occurring during the IED (1), the effect of IED...

Cotton fiber quality is defined by several traits, which are affected by genotype×environment interaction (GEI). The objectives of this work were to study GEI of fiber traits, the repeatability and the effect of the size of testing environments in detecting cultivar genetic differences by High Volume Instrument (HVI), and the usefulness of two GEI derived stability indices, σ2i and GGE Instabil...

BACKGROUND Our study seeks to clarify the extent of differences in analytical results, from a clinical perspective, among 4 leading technologies currently used in clinical reference laboratories for the analysis of LDL subfractions: gradient gel electrophoresis (GGE), ultracentrifugation-vertical auto profile (VAP), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and tube gel electrophoresis (TGE). METHODS...

Rates of growth, filtration and respiration of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis (L.) were measured in the laboratory in the presence of food (flagellate Rhodomonas sp.) concentrations ranging from 0 to 12000 cells ml-' (0 to 500 pg C I-'). Weight-specific growth rate (dry weight of body parts not including the tunic) increased sigrnoidally with increasing algal cell concentration to 7.7 % d-' Ma...

ABSTRACT A study was designed to compare two sedation protocols be used in horses undergoing orchiectomy when standing. In both protocols, the induction sedative state performed with bolus detomidine at a dose of 10 µg/kg, intravenously (IV). first protocol (eight horses), maintained 1% glyceryl guaiacol ether (GGE) continuous infusion, 1ml/kg/hour IV. second horses) this effect infusion same a...

OBJECTIVE The effects of combined expression of human hepatic lipase (HL) and human apolipoprotein B (apoB) on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subclasses were examined in rabbits, a species naturally deficient in HL activity. METHODS AND RESULTS In apoB-transgenic rabbit plasma, >80% of the protein was found in the 1.006- to 1.050-g/mL fraction. Gradient gel electrophoresis (GGE) of this fracti...

The present study deals with the isolation and identification of intestinal bacteria from Common carp Cyprinus carpio. and its effect on growth performance. Six experimental feeds such as Fl control (without probiotics), F2 (1ml of Proteus spp.), F3 (2ml of Proteus spp.), F4 (3ml Proteus spp.), F5 (4 ml of Proteus spp.), and F6 (1ml of yeast). Where prepared by using fish meal, Ground nut oil c...

HDL subclasses detection, in cardiovascular risk, has been limited due to the time-consuming nature of current techniques. We have developed a time-saving and reliable separation of the principal HDL subclasses employing iodixanol density gradient ultracentrifugation (IxDGUC) combined with digital photography. HDL subclasses were separated in 2.5 h from prestained plasma on a three-step iodixan...
