Survival of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Different Methods of Nebulization.

We compared survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells after compressor, ultrasound, and mesh nebulization of the cell suspension over 10 min. Viability of stromal cells was best preserved after compressor nebulization (72%). Cell survival after ultrasonic nebulization was significantly lower (20%).

[Epileptiform activity in nonepileptic children: clinical-electroencephalographic correlations].

Frequency of epileptiform activity in children without epilepsy has been studied in 1920 patients who underwent electroencephalographic examination along with clinical and neuropsychological assessment. The population-based frequency of epileptiform activity was 1,93%. It was found mainly in boys (73%) and was the highest at ages 4-5 and 7-8 years.

[Polymorphism of electroencephalographic pattern in benign epileptiform discharges in childhood].

Incidence and significance of benign epileptiform discharges of childhood (BECD), or rolandic spikes, have been studied in 2723 children, aged 2-15 years, with (841 patients) and without (1882) epilepsy. All the patients underwent standard electroencephalographic (EEG) study with video-EEG monitoring made in cases of epileptiform abnormalities. In the non-epileptic group, BECD frequency was 1.
