Nonelective hospital admissions, discharge disposition, and health services utilization in epilepsy patients: A population-based study.

abstract：:The effects of phenytoin (PHT) on the spontaneous activity of cerebellar Purkinje cells and the drug serum levels have been examined following both intravenous and intraperitoneal administration in rats. Purkinje cell activity was assessed by on-line computer analysis of interspike interval distributions. PHT levels w...
