Abstract
Eight dyslexic subjects, aged 20 +/-0.9 years, university students who were impaired on measures of reading, spelling and naming speed, matched for age and general ability with 10 control subjects, were scanned using PET while reading words and naming pictures, in a study at the Institute of Psychiatry, University College, and the Institute of Neurology, London, UK.
Highlights
Five patients died related to lipoid aspiration pneumonia, serious infectious disease, and nutritional problems (Kang HC et al Epilepsia 2005;46:272-279)
Eight dyslexic subjects, aged 20 +/-0.9 years, university students who were impaired on measures of reading, spelling and naming speed, matched for age and general ability with 10 control subjects, were scanned using PET while reading words and naming pictures, in a study at the Institute of Psychiatry, University College, and the Institute of Neurology, London, UK
The findings point to a common neurological basis for deficits in word reading and picture naming in developmental dyslexia
Summary
A retrospective study has shown that the KD can be successfully initiated on an outpatient basis without starvation, fluid or caloric restriction (Vaisleib II et al Pediatr Neurol 2004;31:198202). The worldwide use of the KD has been established by communicating with 73 academic centers in 41 countries using the Internet. The average number of patients enrolled was 72 per country, with 5 new patients annually.
