Immunoglobulin G subclass-specific responses against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite antigens are associated with control of parasitemia and... (Publications)
Substantial evidence indicates that antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum merozoite antigens play a role in protection from malaria, although the precise targets and mechanisms mediating immunity remain
Continuous video-EEG monitoring increases detection rate of nonconvulsive status epilepticus in the ICU (Publications)
Purpose: Status epilepticus (SE) is an important neurologic emergency requiring treatment on an intensive care unit (ICU). Although convulsive SE is self-evident, the diagnosis of nonconvulsive SE (NC
Acute phase proteins and white blood cell levels for prediction of infectious complications in status epilepticus (Publications)
ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Infections in status epilepticus (SE) patients result in severe morbidity making early diagnosis crucial. As SE may lead to inflammatory reaction, the value of acute phase prot
