Paediatric Epilepsy: Current Advances in Diagnosis and Management
Abstract: Paediatric epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders of childhood, characterised by recurrent unprovoked seizures resulting from abnormal neuronal activity. Accurate diagnosis is essential and is based on a detailed clinical history, seizure semiology, neurological examination, and electroencephalography (EEG), with neuroimaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to identify structural abnormalities. Classification according to seizure type and underlying aetiology genetic, structural, metabolic, immune, infectious, or unknown—guides …

A STUDY OF INDIAN FEMALE SUBSTANCE ABUSERS IN TREATMENT DEMOGRAPHIC AND PSYCHOMETRIC VARIABLES
Abstract: THE ADDICTIVE PROCESSThe drug epidemic is several decades old in India. It has moved from culturally accepted recreational phenomena towards the newer drug use of Heroin, ocaine and other designer drugs. Routes of administration have shifted from oral intake and inhalation to chasing and injecting drug use. While this, in a way, represents man’s hedonistic nature, it is also a symptom of the inherent dysfunction in society and its social …

Hyphomicrobium Transport in Heterogeneous Coarse Formation Influenced by Porosity
Abstract: Hyphomicrobium transports were monitored at different litho structure in deltaic depositions. The study is to determine their rates of migration in heterogeneous predominant porous medium in the study area. The deposition of Hyphomicrobium migration experienced lag phase in some region of the formation. Fluctuation was also observed base on the reflection of heterogeneous porosity. The migration in shallow depth may also be affected by high acidic [PH] in the soil …
