Updated ILAE Review of Antiepileptic Drug Efficacy
The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Subcommission on AED Guidelines reviewed the literature from July 2005 to March 2012 and combined results with previous analysis (2006) to provide a comprehensive update of level of AED efficacy as initial monotherapy with newly diagnosed or untreated epilepsy.
Abstract A study of the effect of alkane gases on the atomic fluorescence signals of some refractory elements has been made, with a low power inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as the atomiser, and a high power ICP as the source. Detection limits are, for some elements, inferior to those obtainable by ICP-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). However, an improvement by a factor of two has been obtained for tungsten by using ethanolic solutions instead of adding traces of hydrocarbon gases.
