A Novel Approach for the Detection of Drunken Driving using the Power Spectral Density Analysis of EEG

In today’s scenario, more and more people are required to travel back and forth to various places. With the increasing vehicular population and their movements on the roads, accidents are also steadily increasing. It has become a nightmare for the authorities to prevent /reduce such fatal accidents on the roads. But the authorities’ efforts are in vain. It is shocking to know the study results ...

Transient global amnesia with post-hyperventilation temporal sharp waves—A case report

We report a 55-year-old woman, who presented with transient amnesia for 7h following underwater swimming. There was no evidence of neurological disturbance except global amnesia. Sharp waves in both temporal regions were registered during the initial EEG recording, which was accentuated by hyperventilation. Right hippocampal high signal intensity was observed in DWI performed 56 h after symptom...

Protective Effect of Salvia officinalis on Testes Tissue Damages of Rats Intoxicated by Diazinon

Diazinon is an organophosphate which exerts tissue damages by generating free radicals thereby inducing oxidative stress. The purpose of this study is to determine the protective effect of Salvia officinalis L.extract on testes of rats intoxicated by diazinon. In this experimental study, 45 mature male rats were equally divided into three groups of Control (C), Diazinon (DZN) and Diazinon-Extra...

Spreading brain lesions in a familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with V180I mutation over 4 years

BACKGROUND We report a female patient with familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with V180I mutation (fCJD with V180I), who was serially followed up with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG) for up to four years. CASE PRESENTATION At 6 months after the onset, diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) of brain MRI revealed an increa...

Hepatoprotective Effect of Ficus carica Leaf Extract on Mice Intoxicated with Carbon Tetrachloride

Protective action of Ficus carica leaf ethanolic extract (obtained by maceration) was evaluated in an animal model of hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Male albino mice were divided into six groups. group I was normal control group; group II received olive oil (CCl4 solvent), groups III-VI received CCl4. After inducing hepatic damage, group III served as control for CCl4; a...
