Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Epilepsy
  • Disease

Nicola Specchio spends much of her time researching Epilepsy, Status epilepticus, Pediatrics, Dravet syndrome and Febrile infection related epilepsy syndrome. Nicola Specchio has included themes like Mutation, Anesthesia, Central nervous system disease and Age of onset in her Epilepsy study. Her Status epilepticus research incorporates themes from West Syndrome and Electroencephalography.

Her Pediatrics research incorporates elements of Dystonia, Neuroscience and Movement disorders. The concepts of her Dravet syndrome study are interwoven with issues in Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and Generalized epilepsy. Her Febrile infection related epilepsy syndrome research focuses on subjects like Intensive care medicine, which are linked to Drug Resistant Epilepsy, Biobank and Neurological disorder.

Her most cited work include:

  • Genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity suggest therapeutic implications in SCN2A-related disorders. (219 citations)
  • The phenotypic spectrum of SCN8A encephalopathy (170 citations)
  • Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES): pathogenesis, treatment, and outcome: a multicenter study on 77 children. (163 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Epilepsy, Pediatrics, Status epilepticus, Anesthesia and Disease. Her work carried out in the field of Epilepsy brings together such families of science as Pathology and Electroencephalography. Her Pediatrics research integrates issues from Seizure types, Drug Resistant Epilepsy, Age of onset, Etiology and Cohort.

Her Status epilepticus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Coma, Epilepsy syndromes, Refractory and Ketogenic diet. Nicola Specchio has researched Anesthesia in several fields, including Encephalopathy, Retrospective cohort study and Levetiracetam. She regularly ties together related areas like Extension study in her Disease studies.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Epilepsy (63.88%)
  • Pediatrics (39.65%)
  • Status epilepticus (18.06%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Epilepsy (63.88%)
  • Pediatrics (39.65%)
  • Disease (13.66%)

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

Nicola Specchio mainly investigates Epilepsy, Pediatrics, Disease, Status epilepticus and Dravet syndrome. The Epilepsy study combines topics in areas such as Encephalopathy and Intellectual disability. In her research, Epilepsy syndromes is intimately related to Valproic Acid, which falls under the overarching field of Pediatrics.

Her work deals with themes such as Position paper, Refractory and Ketogenic diet, which intersect with Status epilepticus. Her Dravet syndrome research focuses on Cannabidiol and how it relates to Randomized controlled trial. Her Epilepsy surgery research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cortical dysplasia and Surgery, Retrospective cohort study.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Genetic Landscape of Epilepsy of Infancy with Migrating Focal Seizures. (27 citations)
  • Seizure outcome and use of antiepileptic drugs after epilepsy surgery according to histopathological diagnosis: a retrospective multicentre cohort study (21 citations)
  • Epilepsy and Cannabidiol: A Guide to Treatment (19 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Epilepsy
  • Disease

Nicola Specchio mostly deals with Epilepsy, Pediatrics, Dravet syndrome, Status epilepticus and Family medicine. Her studies deal with areas such as Neurosurgery, Proband and Cohort as well as Epilepsy. Her Pediatrics study incorporates themes from Tolerability, Efficacy, Ketogenic diet and Seizure types.

Nicola Specchio interconnects Valproic Acid and Cannabidiol in the investigation of issues within Dravet syndrome. Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Epilepsy syndromes and Status epilepticus. Her Family medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Telemedicine, Telehealth and Diet therapy.
