purpose : to describe a distinctive pattern of induced higher order aberration (hoa) after lasik for mixed astigmatism case reports : wavefront-guided lasik with iris recognition and eye tracking (excimer laser: technolas 217z apt protocol microkeratome: moria cb) was performed in six eyes with moderate to high mixed astigmatism for a nominal optical zone of 6.3 mm. the patients were re-examine...

Objective: Oxidative stress is one of the main mechanisms epilepsy and depression. Based on our information, behavioral effects dexpanthenol in animals have not yet been demonstrated. Dexpanthenol itself a topical medicine to restore skin barrier against infections caused by microorganisms which also stimulates peristaltic movements gut when administered parenterally; however since it cheap eas...

A pacemaker, regularly emitting chemical waves, is created out of noise when an excitable photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium, strictly unable to autonomously initiate autowaves, is forced with a spatiotemporal patterned random illumination. These experimental observations are also reproduced numerically by using a set of reaction-diffusion equations for an activator-inhibitor model, and...

Oscillatory cluster patterns are studied numerically in a reaction-diffusion model of the photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction supplemented with a global negative feedback. In one- and two-dimensional systems, families of cluster patterns arise for intermediate values of the feedback strength. These patterns consist of spatial domains of phase-shifted oscillations. The phase of the osci...

Background & Aim:Albizia chevalieri Harms (Mimosaceae) is widely used in traditional medicine to treat various kinds of diseases such as epilepsy, diabetes mellitus, hemorrhoids, asthma, leprosy and gonorrhoea. The effectiveness of its leaf extract in the management of epilepsy is widely acclaimed among communities in northern Nigeria. This study aimed at evaluating th...

Epilepsy represents a personal and major community burden because about one-third of epileptic patients remain resistant to medical treatment. Flupirtine, as potassium channel opener, can be rational template for the treatment epilepsy. To investigate flupirtine +/- celecoxib versus diazepam anticonvulsant role on induced epilepsy in mice. Generalized seizures status epilepticus were by pentyle...

background and objective: epilepsy is a long-lasting central nervous system disorder that is accompany with spontaneous seizures and insufficiency in learning and memory. now drug treatment is the most common therapy but some patients do not research to suitable control of their seizures with current drugs. hence, new treatment is needed to help those patients that are unaffected to existing dr...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this case report is to better characterize the clinical features and potential pathophysiological mechanisms of exercise-induced seizures. METHODS We report a case series of ten patients from a tertiary epilepsy center, where a clear history was obtained of physical exercise as a reproducible trigger for seizures. RESULTS The precipitating type of exercise was qui...
