University Children s Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland
Epilepsia 48:394-6. 2007..It has been shown that persistent eye closure during paroxysmal events in infants makes seizures unlikely. Our study aims to assess whether this is also true in neonates... - Neonatal seizures with tonic clonic sequences and poor developmental outcomeBernhard Schmitt

Pediatr Dermatol 26:749-50. 2009..We report on a child with onychomadesis as a possible side-effect of treatment with VPA. Normal nail growth was observed after stopping VPA.

Division of Clinical Neurophysiology, University Children s Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Clin Neurophysiol 122:1779-87. 2011..The synaptic homeostasis hypothesis predicts that the strength of synapses is decreased during sleep. The slope of slow waves during NREM sleep best reflects this "downscaling"... - Long-term outcome of ten children with opsoclonus-myoclonus syndromeAndrea Klein
