[Biochemical indicators in the blood and liver in rats after administration of beta-escin].

The effect of beta-escin on selected parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism was studied in blood and liver tissue. The aim was to established whether its administration would result in steatosis of the liver. Rats were given sodium salt of beta-escin in water solution orally by gavage in the dose of 10 mg/kg or 70 mg/kg.

[Evaluation of the effect of monitoring levels of antiepileptics on the effectiveness of epilepsy therapy using a computer].

The authors describe a microcomputer programme which makes its possible to evaluate monitoring of antiepileptic levels. The programme makes it possible to put into computer input data on the patient, ensure their editing and printing, classification according to parameters selected in advance, tables of dosage and effectiveness of therapy, or else the computer selects certain parameters for statistical processing. It is thus possible to work with relatively large groups as the database has a capacity of 1000 patients.
