Background and Objective: In spite of various and effective anti seizure drugs available, 30% of epileptic patients are not adequately treated with current medications. Based on the effectiveness of phytocannabinoids on epileptic and seizure models, in this study the effects of 2-achidonoylglycerol (2-AG) injection, as an important endocannabinoid, on tonic-clonic seizures induced by pentylenet...

Background and Objective: Opiates have complex effects on seizure activity. They have both anti- and proconvulsive effects depending on experimental conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different doses of morphine and naloxon on spontaneous seizure activity in mouse brain hippocampal slices. Materials and Methods: Spontaneous epileptic activity in the brain slices o...

abstract ion selective electrodes (ises) are electrochemical sensors that respond selectivity to the activity of ionic species. an ion-selective electrode is an electrochemical device that uses a thin selective membrane or film as the recognition element, and is an electrochemical half-cell equivalent to other half-cells of the zeroth (inert metal in a redox electrolyte). in common methods o...

the main objective in sampling is to select a sample from a population in order to estimate some unknown population parameter, usually a total or a mean of some interesting variable. a simple way to take a sample of size n is to let all the possible samples have the same probability of being selected. this is called simple random sampling and then all units have the same probability of being ch...

Seizure due to fever is very common during childhood. It can simply be associated with fever without a focus for infection or can be the presenting sign of localized infections, including central nervous system infections. It is difficult to exclude meningitis merely on the basis of physical findings in children with febrile seizure under the age of 18 months. So, performing a lumbar ...
