Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Law
  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry

His primary areas of study are Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Melatonin. His work on Developmental disorder as part of general Psychiatry research is often related to Neurological disorder, thus linking different fields of science. Leopold M. G. Curfs studies Hypotonia which is a part of Pediatrics.

His work in the fields of Internal medicine, such as Prospective cohort study, Risk factor, Autopsy and Dose reduction, intersects with other areas such as Hypoventilation. His Endocrinology study incorporates themes from SNP and Birth weight. His Melatonin research incorporates elements of Insomnia, Randomized controlled trial, Drug tolerance and Circadian rhythm.

His most cited work include:

  • Worldwide Prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Literature Review Including Meta-Analysis (180 citations)
  • Prader-Willi syndrome: causes of death in an international series of 27 cases. (145 citations)
  • Prader-Willi syndrome: causes of death in an international series of 27 cases. (145 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Intellectual disability, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Developmental psychology and Rett syndrome are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Intellectual disability brings together such families of science as Social psychology, Nursing, Human sexuality, Clinical psychology and Down syndrome. His Psychiatry study which covers Health promotion that intersects with Psychological intervention.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Fetal alcohol syndrome, Melatonin and Cohort in addition to Pediatrics. As a part of the same scientific study, Leopold M. G. Curfs usually deals with the Developmental psychology, concentrating on Angelman syndrome and frequently concerns with Epilepsy. His Sleep onset research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocrinology and Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Intellectual disability (29.71%)
  • Psychiatry (27.20%)
  • Pediatrics (22.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Rett syndrome (15.90%)
  • Intellectual disability (29.71%)
  • MECP2 (7.11%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Rett syndrome, Intellectual disability, MECP2, Psychiatry and Pediatrics. His study in Rett syndrome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Electronystagmography, Eye tracking, Mutation and Medical education. His study in Intellectual disability is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Autonomy, Law, Legislation, Human sexuality and Developmental psychology.

Disease is closely connected to Computational biology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of MECP2. As a part of the same scientific family, Leopold M. G. Curfs mostly works in the field of Psychiatry, focusing on Angelman syndrome and, on occasion, Sleep disorder, Sleep Wake Disorders, Actigraphy and Sleep in non-human animals. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fetal alcohol syndrome and Fecal incontinence in addition to Pediatrics.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • People with Intellectual Disabilities Talk About Sexuality: Implications for the Development of Sex Education (37 citations)
  • Current developments in the genetics of Rett and Rett-like syndrome. (25 citations)
  • Review and gap analysis: molecular pathways leading to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. (21 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Law
  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry

Leopold M. G. Curfs spends much of his time researching Intellectual disability, Psychiatry, Rett syndrome, MECP2 and Health care. Leopold M. G. Curfs combines subjects such as Enuresis, Pediatrics, Fecal incontinence and Urinary incontinence with his study of Intellectual disability. The Psychiatry study combines topics in areas such as Angelman syndrome and Treatment Refusal.

His Angelman syndrome study combines topics in areas such as Sleep in non-human animals, Sleep disorder, Sleep Wake Disorders and Polysomnography. His Rett syndrome research is under the purview of Genetics. His Health care research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Social psychology, Reproductive health and Quality of life.
