Neuroimaging in Epilepsy
This book is the first to provide a comprehensive and balanced discussion of various neuroimaging techniques applied in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy. The editor has been meticulous in covering not only MRI and its latest developments, but also molecular and physiological imaging approaches, such as PET and SPECT in much greater depth than in previous volumes.
Pediatric Neurology Part I
Among various neuroimaging techniques used for the evaluation of children with intractable epilepsy, positron emission tomography (PET) employing various PET tracers plays a very important role, especially in localizing areas of focal cortical dysplasia. This is particularly important in infants, where incomplete myelination may limit the structural information provided by MRI. In children with tuberous sclerosis, PET can differentiate between epileptogenic and nonepileptogenic tubers, previously not thought to be possible with neuroimaging. PET may reveal cortical or subcortical abnormalities in various epilepsy syndromes, such as infantile spasms and Landau–Kleffner syndrome. Various other applications of PET have included the investigation of epileptic networks, secondary epileptic foci, dual pathology, and neuroinflammation. Finally, PET can also be used to evaluate various cognitive processes and their underlying neurological substrates and can help in addressing the issue of brain plasticity and reorganization, related to epilepsy.
Pediatric Epilepsy Case Studies
The amount of information currently available on pediatric epilepsy, as with all burgeoning fields, can seem overwhelming. Pediatric Epilepsy Case Studies: From Infancy and Childhood through Adolescence reviews the recent flood of new information on the pathophysiology, genetics, and treatment of the various epilepsy syndromes and distills it into an easy-to-use guide. Edited by respected and well-known leaders in the field, the book provides brief, but thorough, descriptions of the different syndromes commonly encountered in clinical practice across the pediatric range. Grasping the complexity and nuances associated with various epileptic syndromes can be daunting. Therefore, the book begin...
Infantile Spasms and West Syndrome
This resource provides practical guidance on differential diagnosis, investigation and treatment of West Syndrome and infantile spasms. The definition of both conditions has been revised in accordance with new aetiological data. The latest research on pathophysiology is included.
Pediatric Neurology, Part I
The child is neither an adult miniature nor an immature human being: at each age, it expresses specific abilities that optimize adaptation to its environment and development of new acquisitions. Diseases in children cover all specialties encountered in adulthood, and neurology involves a particularly large area, ranging from the brain to the striated muscle, the generation and functioning of which require half the genes of the whole genome and a majority of mitochondrial ones. Human being nervous system is sensitive to prenatal aggression, is particularly immature at birth and development may be affected by a whole range of age-dependent disorders distinct from those that occur in adults. Ev...

Praxis As a Perspective on International Politics
Bringing together leading figures in the study of international relations, this collection explores praxis as a perspective on international politics and law. It builds on the transdisciplinary work of Friedrich Kratochwil to reveal the scope, limits and blind spots of praxis theorizing.

Raising a Healthy Child: Universal Nurturing Techniques to Overcome Adverse Childhood Experiences, Child Trauma, and Behavior Disorders
The power of brain training through nurture using multisensory integration zero to three years and even up to five years of life is essential to prevent behavior and learning disorders, and youth health-risk behaviors. This book is a humanitarian contribution from the Society for Assistance International (SAI) and the SAI Institute of Educare, with the intention of preventing child trauma and consequent neurodevelopmental and physical disorders. This book is the result of my passion to reach out to all and ensure that every child is born to give something back to society. Every parent loves their progeny and wants to give them the best. I am certain that parents might have read thousands of ...
