Journal ArticleDOI

William D. Gaillard,Lyn Balsamo,Benjamin Xu,Christopher M. Mckinney,P. H. Papero,Steven L. Weinstein,Joan A. Conry,Phillip L. Pearl,Bonnie C. Sachs,Susumu Sato,L. G. Vezina,C. Frattali,William H. Theodore +12 more
TL;DR: A panel of fMRI language paradigms may be more accurate for evaluating partial epilepsy patients than a single task, which reduces the likelihood of nondiagnostic findings, improves interrater reliability, and helps confirm language laterality.
Journal ArticleDOI

William D. Gaillard,Lyn Balsamo,Benjamin Xu,Cécile Grandin,S.H. Braniecki,P. H. Papero,Steven L. Weinstein,Joan A. Conry,Phillip L. Pearl,Bonnie C. Sachs,Susumu Sato,B Jabbari,L. G. Vezina,C. Frattali,William H. Theodore +14 more
TL;DR: An fMRI reading paradigm can identify language dominance in frontal and temporal areas and clinical visual interpretation is comparable to quantitative ROI analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Children with Refractory Seizures Associated with Lennox–Gastaut Syndrome
Michael Frost,John R. Gates,Sandra L. Helmers,James W. Wheless,Paul Levisohn,Carmelo Tardo,Joan A. Conry +6 more
TL;DR: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is approved for use for refractory partial seizures and the effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of VNS therapy in patients with LGS are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vagus nerve stimulation therapy in pediatric patients with refractory epilepsy: retrospective study.
Sandra L. Helmers,James W. Wheless,M. Frost,John Gates,Paul Levisohn,Carmelo Tardo,Joan A. Conry,Dilek Yalnizoglu,Joseph R. Madsen +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that vagus nerve stimulation is an effective treatment for medically refractory epilepsy in children and improved in alertness, verbal communication, school performance, clustering of seizures, and postictal periods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phillip L. Pearl,K. M. Gibson,Maria T. Acosta,L. G. Vezina,William H. Theodore,Michael A. Rogawski,Edward J. Novotny,Andrea L. Gropman,Joan A. Conry,Gerard T. Berry,M. Tuchman +10 more
TL;DR: Urine organic acid analysis should include a sensitive method for the detection of 4-hydroxybutyrate and should be obtained from patients with mental retardation or neuropsychiatric disturbance of unknown etiology, the authors say.
