Distinguishing propagated epileptic activity from primary epileptic foci is of critical importance in presurgical evaluation of patients with medically intractable focal epilepsy. We studied an 11-year-old patient with complex partial epilepsy by using simultaneous magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). In EEG, bilateral interictal discharges appeared synchronous, wherea...

Ezogabine is a new drug for adjunctive therapy of partial-onset seizures with a novel mechanism of action. As a potassium-channel facilitator, it promotes membrane repolarization and thus opposes rapid repetitive discharges. Side effects are typical for antiepileptic drugs and the safety profile is good. Occasional instances of urinary difficulty may require surveillance.

The growth of thin oxide coatings on the aluminum substrate in water-based sodium tungstate electrolyte by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is discussed and experimentally illustrated. carried out using a distinctive ultra-low duty cycle pulsed direct current (DC) power supply. During PEO processing elements present micro-discharges are identified standard optical emission spectroscopy (OES)...

GABA(B) receptor (GABA(B)R)-mediated presynaptic inhibition regulates neurotransmitter release from synaptic terminals. In the neonatal hippocampus, GABA(B)R activation reduces GABA release and terminates spontaneous network discharges called giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs). Blocking GABA(B)Rs transforms GDPs into longer epileptiform discharges. Thus, GABA(B)R-mediated presynaptic inhibiti...

Several practical issues must be considered when solid electrical insulation is used in a low pressure environment. While the low pressure environment or partial vacuum (in this context, a region which is almost devoid of any gaseous media) can exhibit good electrical insulating properties, the materials contained within the partial vacuum will effect the insulation integrity over time. Degrada...

Partial discharge (PD) detection can be considered one of the most useful tools for assessing insulation conditions power apparatus in high-voltage systems. Under AC conditions, this analysis is widely employed online and offline tests, such as type tests or commissioning, carried out by applying phase-resolved PD (PRPD) method, since patterns give information about defect classification. DC vo...
