Abstract:
Although bromide (Br) is used to treat intractable epilepsy, serum Br concentrations are not routinely analyzed. The present study measured serum Br(-) and Cl(-) concentrations in Br-treated epileptic patients, showing a significant correlation between Br(-) and imprecise Cl(-) concentrations, which suggested the use of a unique correlating equation for each diagnostic tool. Results indicated that imprecise Cl(-) concentrations are useful markers for measuring appropriate serum Br(-) levels in epileptic patients.

The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...
