Objectives: The study investigates the neurobiological correlates of conversion disorder (CD). The primary objectives are to investigate in CD patients: - The role of emotional valence in an implicit emotional processing task (COMPLETE) - The frequency of the 5HTTLPR S/S genotype - Structural

The aims of this study are firstly to identify DTI abnormalities in the white matter of children with MRI-negative partial epilepsy and MRI-visible FCD compared to normal controls; and secondly to determine if the location of DTI identified abnormalities correlate with the epileptogenic zone as

Drug-resistant focal epilepsy is a debilitating disease as it is often accompanied by learning disabilities and behavioral disorders, that can be present at the disease onset and have ample repercussions on the child's quality of life. Despite a focal onset of seizures, the dysfunction of the

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis can occur at any age, but usually affects children and young adults. The mean age of clinical presentation in pediatric cohorts ranges from 5 to 8 years. The annual incidence of Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is reported to be 0.4-0.8 per 100,000 and the

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is an important adverse effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in infants undergoing cardiac surgery. We performed a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial of the leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion inhibitor Cylexin in young infants to

Patients and caregivers were recruited at an Epilepsy Outpatients Clinic. This study has approval of local Ethics Committee.

Hypothesis: We hypothesize that PCT can be used to define normal (SIRS without infection) and abnormal values SIRS with infection (i.e., blood, lung, urinary, spinal fluid) in a population of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Specific Aim 1.) To establish normal values of PCT

LAMA2-MD is a congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) subtype caused by mutations in the laminin alpha 2 gene. LAMA2-MD may present clinically as an early onset, severe phenotype or a late onset limb girdle phenotype. The early onset form is most commonly associated with a complete absence of merosin on

OBJECTIVES: Epilepsy surgery is emerging as a potent therapeutic intervention for a large group of patients with uncontrolled temporal lobe epilepsy, particularly when performed early in the course of the illness. Seizure freedom is an important goal of seizure surgery, but post-operative

Sepsis is defined as a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) associated with infection diagnosed either on microbiologic cultures or strong clinical evidence of an infection..Worldwide, neonatal sepsis is responsible for 4 million deaths annually and 99% of them occur in developing

OBJECTIVES: - To determine the efficacy of a preparative regimen comprising dose targeted busulfan, etoposide, and fractionated total-body irradiation followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell or bone marrow transplantation in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. - To determine the

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) (Conversion Disorder) is a poorly understood and prevalent somatoform disorder, making up 16% of outpatient neurology referrals. Patients with motor FND (mFND) are difficult to treat, result in major morbidity, and are costly to the US. An estimated $256
