Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsChildhood Epilepsy: An Update on Diagnosis and ManagementKhaled SaadWithin the past few years there is a rapid expansion in our understanding of epilepsy. The development of new anti-epileptic drugs and refinements to epilepsy surgery are widening the therapeutic options for epilepsy. In addition, the classification of the epilepsies continues to evolve based on an increased understanding of the molecular genetics of the condition and this includes the recognition … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 19 Jan 2015 · 8,700 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSynthesis and Calcium Channel Blocking Activity of 1, 4-Dihydropyridine Derivatives Containing Ester Substitute and Phenyl Carbamoyl GroupBassem Sadek, Khairi Mustafa Salem Fahelelbom, Laurentiu Morusciag, Sigurd ElzProblem statement: Several studies on the synthesis of new nifedipine analogs have been carried out, but the literature reveled that no study on the synthesis and calcium channel blocking activity of the substituted ester with an amide (5-phenylcarbamoyl) moiety has been reported. Approach: Six new derivatives of m-nifedipine have been successfully synthesized by substituting an ester moiety with an amide … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 8,247 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandom Forest Classification and Support Vector Machine for Detecting Epilepsyusing Electroencephalograph RecordsHeri Kuswanto, Mutiah Salamah, Muhammad Idrus FachruddinComplexity in data structure has led to the rapid development of computational statistics methods. Machine learning approaches have been introduced and applied to solve complex problems in many fields. This paper applies two common machine learning approaches, Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM), in the detection of epilepsy. The diagnosis of epilepsy can usually only be made when … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 4 May 2017 · 8,134 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional and Fatty Acids Profile Analyses of Commonly Consumed Fresh Water Fish Species in PakistanAhsan Hameed, Syed Ammar Hussain, Muhammed Asim Shabbir et al.The aim of this study is to evaluate nutritional value of selected commonly consumed fresh water fish species of Pakistan. Proximate composition and fatty acids profile of mostly consumed fresh water fish species of Pakistan namely Balm or Baam (Anguilla anguilla), Sole (Channa marulius), Damra (Labeo rohita) and Malhi (Wallago atto) were analysed. Proximate composition data showed a significant difference … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2017 · 9,515 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical System of Flat ElectroencephalographyTan Lit Ken, Tahir bin Ahmad, Mohd Sham bin Mohamad, Su Kong NgienFlat EEG is a way of viewing electroencephalography signals on the real plane. The wealth of information contained within makes it a great platform to study epileptic seizure. In this study, the time embedment nature of Flat EEG is exploited to establish a dynamic Flat EEG model. Basically, a geometrical representation which displays the important information visually for Flat EEG … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 21 Aug 2015 · 6,600 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANTICONVULSANT AND NEUROTOXICITY EVALUATION OF SOME NEWLY SYNTHESIZED THIAZOLYL COUMARIN DERIVATIVESM. Faiz Arshad, Nadeem Siddiqui, Ahmed Elkerdasy et al.The present series of compounds were synthesized with the aim to develop newer anticonvulsant agents that are comparatively more efficacious and safer than the currently used anticonvulsant agents. Various thiazolyl coumarins were synthesized by the reaction of 3-(bromoacetyl)-2H-chromen-2-one with different substituted aryl thiourea. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral data and elemental analyses. Compounds were tested … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,676 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDETERMINATION OF EPILEPTIC DISORDER WITH DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORMS AND NEURAL NETWORK CLASSIFIERS. T. Sadish Kumar, N. KasthuriNowadays Epileptic disorder is a most challenge aspects in brain activation. Electroencephalograph (EEG) is one of the popular procedures to understand the human brain condition. The activation of brain will be changed due to the symptoms of neurological disorder. We have been proposed a procedure to find epilepsy disorder, using discrete wavelet transform and neural network classifier. The EEG classification … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Nov 2013 · 6,657 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSchizencephaly: Case ReportJuliana Oliveira Freitas Silveira, Fernanda Schettini de Oliveira, Fernanda Arrua Vares et al.Problem statement: Whereas schizencephaly is a malformation of cortical development which exact cause remains unknown, is almost entirely characterized by clefts extending from the pial surface to ependymal surface and could be unilateral or bilateral. Oftentimes, it also occurs in association with other abnormalities. Over the years, two types were described in literature, lips closed and open. Therefore, our intention … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Aug 2012 · 8,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Prophylactic and Therapeutic Effects of Silymarin on Diazepam-Induced Hepatotoxicity in CatsBahman Mosallanejad, Reza Avizeh, Hossien NajafzadehProblem statement: Diazepam is commonly administered for seizure control and appetite stimulant in cats. Cats may develop acute fatal hepatic necrosis after receiving oral diazepam for several days. The aim of this study was to detect the protective action of silymarin on diazepam-induced hepatotoxicity in cats. Approach: About 25 healthy cats were randomly allotted to five equal groups. Animals in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,420 accessesView PDF Cite
