Contributions to the health and development
of children.
- Ganglioside analysis and its biological characterization in brain and nerve, and human milk: a) Clinical availability of human milk in the prophylaxis of infection and brain development. b) Characterization of novel gangliosides and oligosaccharides in human milk.
- Intractable epilepsy in pediatric patients: a) Moleculo-biological analysis of the DNA and the genetic contribution of cortical dysplasia. b) Clinical detection of the epileptic foci of clinical seizures, and the evaluation of the areas of epileptic lesions and the areas of lesionectomy, with EEG, MRI and SPECT.
- Autonomic function and brain development by means of cranial ultrasonography, MRI and autoregressive analysis of EEG and polygraphy.
- The moleculo-biological characterization of immunoreaction in allergic disease and the development of novel immuno- therapy.
- Evaluation of prognosis minimal residual tumor and coagulo- fibrinolytic system in childhood malignancies, especially neuroblastoma, leukemia, brain tumor and hemangioma by the analysis of tumor genes and gangliosides.
