Objective: To study the effect of α−cypermethrin (α−CP) on some neuropharmacological paradigms like motor coordination, pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time and pentylenetetrazole-induced (PTZ) convulsion as well as γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) level in rat brain. Materials and Methods: Albino Wistar rats were the experimental animals. Different neuropharmacological paradigms like motor coordinat...

AIM To investigate the effects of a magnetic field (MF) on febrile seizure latency, seizure duration, and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings in a rat febrile convulsion model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six rats were randomly allocated into 1 of 6 groups: sham group (S), febrile convulsion (FC) group without MF exposure, MF group without FC, group exposed to MF before FC (MF + FC), gr...

The disturbances of memory immediately following electric convulsion therapy (E.C.T.) have been the subject of many investigations (Zubin and Barrera, 1941; Mayer-Gross, 1943; Liberson and Wilcox, 1945; Kalinowsky and Hoch, 1947). Implicit, ifnot explicit, in the majority of these papers is the assumption that memory can be studied in isolation, Bartlett, however, (1932), long ago demonstrated ...

49 infants and children (29 boys and 20 girls) between the ages ~f 3 nlonthes and 5 Years, fulfilling the criteria of Fc were studied dusing the acute phase of the illness; both clinically and electroencephalographically and were followed up fox I2 nzonths with the main airn of defining the inlportant risk factors for recurrence of F.C. Recurrence was reported if2 13 cases (26.5%) during that p...
