Australindolones, New Aminopyrimidine Substituted Indolone Alkaloids from an Antarctic Tunicate sp.

Five new alkaloids have been isolated from the lipophilic extract of the Antarctic tunicate sp. Deep-sea specimens of sp. were collected during a 2011 cruise of the R/V to the southern Scotia Arc, Antarctica.

Identification of Potential Antiseizure Agents in using Zebrafish and Mouse Epilepsy Models.

The resin of the tree Flueck. (synonym: ; Burseraceae), also known as "frankincense", is a traditional remedy used for central nervous system disorders in East Africa. Here we report the evaluation of its antiseizure activity in zebrafish and mouse epilepsy models to identify novel antiseizure compounds.

Intraoperative consultation of central nervous system lesions. Frozen section, cytology or both?

Objective: Frozen section is the traditional method of assessing central nervous system (CNS) lesions intraoperatively. Our aim is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of frozen section and/or cytological evaluation of CNS lesions in our center.

Study Design: A total of 157 patients with CNS lesions underwent open surgical biopsy or excision in our center during a period of 2 years (2012-2013).
