OBJECTIVE To determine if applying chilled solution to exposed cerebral cortex can reduce interictal epileptiform activities in patients during surgery. METHODS Electrocorticography was used to record the epileptiform activity of 12 patients (ages 18-53) undergoing cortical mapping and resection surgery. Interictal spikes were counted at baseline and compared with spikes after applying room t...

The effect of 2% grape seed and 2% grape skin powder added to chicken thigh patties stored at 4°C was assessed by measuring lipid oxidation, total phenolic content, pH, color changes and sensory attributes. The addition of these grape by-products to the patties lowered pH values and significantly reduced in lightness, redness and yellowness compared with the control. However, the addition of gr...

During the summer of previous years, Kuwait faced a series of power shortages emphasizing the need for urgent commissioning of power generation projects. It is estimated that the demand for electricity is growing at an average of 5.4% per year, encouraged by government subsidies and driven by the rapid and continual expansion in building construction, urban development, and heavy reliance on ai...

The experiment was designed to evaluate the optimal concentration of egg yolk in extender for diluting Barbari buck semen during short-term storage at 4oC. A total of four Barbari bucks were used as semen donors during the experiment. The observed mean (±SE) valuesrecorded for percent live spermatozoa ranged from 63.5 ± 1.08 to 75.33 ± 0.99, percent progressive motile spermatozoa ranged from 54...
