Ketogenic Diets in Children With Intractable Epilepsy and its Effects on Gastrointestinal Function, Gut Microbiome, Inflammation, and Quality of Life.

Objectives: The ketogenic diet (KD) is a treatment for children with intractable epilepsy (IE), can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, and have an adverse effect on growth, nutrition and quality of life (QOL). This study investigated the extent of these side effects by comparing children with IE on KDs to their counterparts on normal diets.

Methods: Patients with IE were categorized into patients with KD or control groups.

Charge mediated room temperature magnetoelectric coupling in Zn1-xSmxO/BaTiO3 bilayer thin film.

We present a room-temperature magnetoelectrically coupled bilayer thin film multiferroic system (BTS) 'Zn1-xSmxO/BaTiO3 (where x = 0.02 and 0.04)' grown on a SrTiO3 (100) substrate.
