[Therapeutic management adults with epilepsy].

THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF ADULTS WITH EPILEPSY. With the development of numerous antiseizure medications, therapeutic options for the management of patients suffering from epilepsy have greatly diversified. This diversification of the therapeutic arsenal means that treatment can now be better adapted to each individual patient.

Assessing epilepsy-related autonomic manifestations: Beyond cardiac and respiratory investigations.

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) regulates many critical physiological functions. Its control relies on cortical input, especially limbic areas, which are often involved in epilepsy. Peri-ictal autonomic dysfunction is now well documented, but inter-ictal dysregulation is less studied.

Looking at platinum carbonyl nanoclusters as .

Although the chemistry of carbonyl-protected platinum nanoclusters is well established, their bonding mode remains poorly understood. In most of them, the average Pt oxidation state is zero or slightly negative, leading to the apparent average configuration 5d 6s ( = 0 or very small) and the apparent conclusion that metal-metal bonding cannot arise from the completely filled 5d shell nor from the empty (or almost empty) 6s orbitals. However, DFT calculations show in fact that in these species the actual average configuration is 5d 6s, which provides to the whole cluster a significant total number of 6s electrons that ensures metal-metal bonding.

Acacia gums new fractions and sparkling base wines: How their biochemical and structural properties impact foamability?

Foam is the first attribute observed when sparkling wine is served. Bentonite is essentially used to flocculate particles in sparkling base wines but can impair their foamability. Gums from Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal improved the foamability of different bentonite-treated base wines.

Theoretical Analysis of the Mackay Icosahedral Cluster Pd (PiPr ) (μ -CO) : An Open-Shell 20-Electron Superatom.

The electronic structure of the spherical Mackay icosahedral nanosized cluster Pd (PiPr ) (μ -CO) is analyzed by using DFT calculations. Results reveal that it can be considered as a regular superatom with a "magic" electron count of 20, characterized by a 1S 1P 1D 2S jellium configuration. Its open shell nature is associated with partial occupation of non-jellium, 4d-type, levels located on the interior of the Pd kernel.
