objectives:the aim of this single case study is to describe a child with landau kleffner syndrome who misdiagnosed as a child with autism spectrum disorder. we also explore occupational therapy`s role in correct process for diagnosis and treatment. methods:three times measurement with autism treatment evaluation checklist was performed to measure severity of symptoms and compare treatment outco...

Case presentation: A previously healthy 3-year-old boy presented with difficulty understanding commands and developed impairment of spoken language that lasted four months remitted spontaneously. After 10 months, he suffered again regression. Electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES). He was treated sulthiame, sodium valproate clobazam partial improve...

The d-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model is solved according to a variational method by separating phase and amplitude. The GL transition becomes first order for high superfluid density because of phase fluctuations. We discuss its origin with various arguments showing that, in particular for d = 3, the validity of our approach lies precisely in the first-order domain.

We study the disordered, multispiral solutions of two-dimensional oscillatory media for parameter values at which the single-spiral/vortex solution is fully stable. Using the complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGLE) equation, we show that these states, heretofore believed to be static, actually evolve extremely slowly. This is achieved via a reduction of the CGLE to the evolution of the sole vortex coord...

Epilepsy with continuous spike- and -waves during slow-wave sleep and Landau-Kleffner syndrome are two rare childhood epilepsy syndromes. The underlying pathophysiology remains unknown. The current opinions about epidemiologic risk factors, genetic predisposition, EEG and MEG findings, influence of anti-epileptic drugs, neuroradiology, positron emission tomopgraphy, evoked potentials, auto-immu...

We present a modified Wang-Landau algorithm for models with continuous degrees of freedom. We demonstrate this algorithm with the calculation of the joint density of states of ferromagnet Heisenberg models and a model polymer chain. The joint density of states contains more information than the density of states of a single variable-energy, but is also much more time consuming to calculate. We ...
