Dimethyl ether (DME) is a colorless, odorless, and flammable gas. It is a simple ether with the chemical formula CH3OCH3. DME can be synthesized from various sources, including biomass, natural gas, and coal. It is a promising alternative fuel due to its high energy density, clean combustion, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. DME has a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil fuels and is considered a clean-burning fuel. Its applications extend beyond fuel, including as a refrigerant, aerosol propellant, and chemical intermediate. The study of DME is driven by its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and promote energy independence. The compound is also being explored as a feedstock for the production of other chemicals and materials.'

| Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

| Seizures Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder. | 0 | 7.17 | 1 | 0 |
