What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Psychiatry
- Epilepsy
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Epilepsy, Internal medicine, Anticonvulsant, Endocrinology and Carbamazepine.
Particularly relevant to Lamotrigine is his body of work in Epilepsy.
His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Physical therapy, Temporal lobe and Cardiology.
The concepts of his Anticonvulsant study are interwoven with issues in Hippocampal formation, Biochemistry, Astrocyte and Glutamic acid.
His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Valproic Acid and Levetiracetam.
Leif Gjerstad works mostly in the field of Carbamazepine, limiting it down to topics relating to Randomized controlled trial and, in certain cases, Adverse effect, Tolerability, Cognition and Discontinuation, as a part of the same area of interest.
His most cited work include:
- Two different responses of hippocampal pyramidal cells to application of gamma-amino butyric acid. (416 citations)
- Reduced inhibition during epileptiform activity in the in vitro hippocampal slice. (177 citations)
- An international multicenter randomized double-blind controlled trial of lamotrigine and sustained-release carbamazepine in the treatment of newly diagnosed epilepsy in the elderly (155 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Leif Gjerstad spends much of his time researching Epilepsy, Internal medicine, Psychiatry, Pediatrics and Endocrinology.
His Epilepsy research incorporates themes from Anesthesia and Randomized controlled trial.
His Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Hippocampal sclerosis, Levetiracetam and Cardiology.
Many of his research projects under Psychiatry are closely connected to Norwegian with Norwegian, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
Leif Gjerstad interconnects Incidence, Quality of life, Stroke, Gynecology and Prospective cohort study in the investigation of issues within Pediatrics.
His research on Endocrinology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Valproic Acid.
He most often published in these fields:
- Epilepsy (74.43%)
- Internal medicine (41.48%)
- Psychiatry (28.98%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?
- Epilepsy (74.43%)
- Psychiatry (28.98%)
- Internal medicine (41.48%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Epilepsy, Psychiatry, Internal medicine, Pediatrics and White matter.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Young adult, Cause of death and Risk factor.
His work deals with themes such as Hyperintensity, Electroencephalography and Cardiology, which intersect with Internal medicine.
His work carried out in the field of Pediatrics brings together such families of science as Recall and Verbal memory.
His White matter research integrates issues from Partial volume, Diffusion MRI, Neuroscience and Synthetic data.
Leif Gjerstad studied Lamotrigine and Carbamazepine that intersect with Phenytoin, Levetiracetam, Endocrinology, Anticonvulsant and Cognitive disorder.
Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Comparative risk of major congenital malformations with eight different antiepileptic drugs: a prospective cohort study of the EURAP registry (152 citations)
- Diffusion Tensor Imaging Surpasses Cerebrospinal Fluid as Predictor of Cognitive Decline and Medial Temporal Lobe Atrophy in Subjective Cognitive Impairment and Mild Cognitive Impairment (77 citations)
- Loss of Perivascular Kir4.1 Potassium Channels in the Sclerotic Hippocampus of Patients With Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (72 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Psychiatry
- Pathology
His primary scientific interests are in Epilepsy, Diffusion MRI, White matter, Fractional anisotropy and Clinical psychology.
Leif Gjerstad combines subjects such as Prospective cohort study and Pediatrics with his study of Epilepsy.
The Diffusion MRI study combines topics in areas such as Cardiology, Internal medicine, Dementia, Memory clinic and Neuroscience.
His White matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cognitive impairment and Audiology.
His Fractional anisotropy study incorporates themes from Atrophy and Pathology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Psychosocial, Psychiatry, Socioeconomic status and Single parent in addition to Clinical psychology.
