Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Epilepsy
  • Gene

Rainer Surges spends much of his time researching Epilepsy, Anesthesia, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine and Genetic association. The various areas that Rainer Surges examines in his Epilepsy study include Pharmacology and Intensive care medicine. His Anesthesia study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Electrocardiography, Ictal and Sudden death.

His studies deal with areas such as Candidate gene, Linkage disequilibrium, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture and Heritability as well as Genome-wide association study. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Limbic encephalitis, Neuropsychology, Cardiology, Gastroenterology and Immunology. His Genetic association study incorporates themes from Genetic heterogeneity, Clinical psychology and Comorbidity.

His most cited work include:

  • Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain (726 citations)
  • Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain (726 citations)
  • Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: risk factors and potential pathomechanisms (320 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Epilepsy, Internal medicine, Anesthesia, Neuroscience and Ictal. His work deals with themes such as Heart rate and Electroencephalography, which intersect with Epilepsy. His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Status epilepticus and Cardiology in his study of Internal medicine.

The concepts of his Anesthesia study are interwoven with issues in Electrocardiography, Heart rate variability, Sudden death and Sudden cardiac death. His is involved in several facets of Neuroscience study, as is seen by his studies on Hippocampal formation and Amygdala. His research investigates the connection between Hippocampal formation and topics such as Hyperpolarization that intersect with problems in Patch clamp.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Epilepsy (72.25%)
  • Internal medicine (24.08%)
  • Anesthesia (18.85%)

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

  • Epilepsy (72.25%)
  • Internal medicine (24.08%)
  • Temporal lobe (9.95%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Epilepsy, Internal medicine, Temporal lobe, Cardiology and Limbic encephalitis. His work on Ictal as part of general Epilepsy research is frequently linked to Context, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Endocrinology and Epilepsy surgery.

He interconnects White matter, Entorhinal cortex and Amygdala in the investigation of issues within Temporal lobe. Rainer Surges combines subjects such as Blood pressure and Heart rate with his study of Cardiology. His Limbic encephalitis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hippocampal sclerosis, Verbal memory and Biomarker.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Epilepsy in adults (190 citations)
  • Blood markers of cardiac stress after generalized convulsive seizures (19 citations)
  • Blood markers of cardiac stress after generalized convulsive seizures (19 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Epilepsy
  • Gene

His main research concerns Epilepsy, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Limbic encephalitis and Immunology. His study in the fields of Tonic-clonic seizures under the domain of Epilepsy overlaps with other disciplines such as Comprehension. His Hyperphosphatemia, Prospective cohort study, Creatinine and Creatine kinase study in the realm of Internal medicine connects with subjects such as Prolactin.

His Cardiology research includes themes of Ictal and Heart rate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Autoimmunity, Disease, Immune system, Mood and Biomarker in addition to Limbic encephalitis. His work in the fields of Antigen overlaps with other areas such as Antibody titer.
