introduction: ciprofloxacin which was used in this study is a fluoroquinolone (fq). this kind of drug may cause epileptic seizures probably because of the inhibition of gaba binding to its receptors. wag/rij rats (an animal model for generalized absence epilepsy), were used as experimental subjects. methods: for eeg study, electrodes were inserted into the cortex of animals according to paxinos...

The North Burbank Unit, located in Osage County, was originally discovered in 1920. It has an extensive history of activity, including primary depletion, produced gas cycling, and water and polymer flooding to the point of very high water cut at current conditions. The current oil production rate in the North Burbank Unit is approximately 1,400 BOPD from 360 active wells at a water cut of 99.5%...

Commentary If there is any " sure thing " in epilepsy, the syndrome of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) may come close to fitting the bill. The characteristic seizure semiology (staring spells), response to specific medications (ethosuximide or valproate), and prognosis (often outgrown by late adolescence) are about as close as we get to a well-defined syndrome with reproducible clinical featur...

water alternating gas (wag) technique is used in the petroleum industry to inject carbon dioxide (co2) into underground formations either for sequestration or enhanced oil recovery (eor) processes. co2 injection causes reactions with formation brine or aquifer and produces carbonic acid, the acid dissolves calcite and changes flow behavior significantly. modeling and investigating effects of co...

Abstract Availability of gases at the field level makes attractive to water-alternating-gas (WAG) process for low viscosity and light oils carbonate reservoir. However, impact reservoir heterogeneity on WAG performance is crucial before application. In general, ramp carbonates have due variation permeability porosity. significantly affected by variations. This article investigates merits demeri...

The risk of neurological diseases increases with age. In WAG/Rij rat model of absence epilepsy, the incidence of epileptic spike-wave discharges is known to be elevated with age. Considering close relationship between epileptic spike-wave discharges and physiologic sleep spindles, it was assumed that age-dependent increase of epileptic activity may affect time-frequency characteristics of sleep...

A 2-yr study was conducted to evaluate 1) steers fed ad libitum high concentrate after weaning (CONC), or 2) steers grown on pasture for 82 d, followed by high concentrate finishing (PAST) on the performance and carcass traits of 74 early weaned (117 d of age) steers. Potential breed differences were evaluated using steers of three different breed types: 1) 3⁄4 Angus x 1⁄4 Simmental (BRI), 2) 3...

Objective: In the last two decades, research on epigenetic mechanisms has expanded dramatically. Recent studies demonstrated that regulate epilepsy and epileptogenic pathologies. this study, we aimed to investigate changes in promoter methylation status of voltage-gated T-type calcium channel alpha 1 subunit G (CACNA1G) gene total histone deacetylase activity Wistar Albino Glaxo/Rijswijk (WAG/R...

Metallic nanoparticles are widely used in cosmetics, food products and textile industry. These particles are known to cause respiratory toxicity and epithelial inflammation. They are eventually released to aquatic environment necessitating toxicity studies in cells from respiratory organs of aquatic organisms. Hence, we have developed and characterized a new cell line, WAG, from gill tissue of ...
