Surgical outcomes for medically intractable epilepsy in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

abstract：:The metabolic rate was determined in the rat brain during the immediate concussive response to standardized impact accelerations of 7 and 9 m/sec velocity. In one series, the metabolic state was determined in freeze-clamped cortical and brain-stem tissue 20 seconds after the impact. The metabolic rate was calculated f...
