What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Epilepsy
- Psychiatry
W. Donald Shields mostly deals with Epilepsy, Surgery, Cortical dysplasia, Central nervous system disease and Pediatrics.
His research on Epilepsy concerns the broader Psychiatry.
His work in Surgery addresses issues such as Hemispherectomy, which are connected to fields such as Neurosurgery and Anesthesia.
His work investigates the relationship between Cortical dysplasia and topics such as Dysplasia that intersect with problems in Epilepsy surgery.
His Central nervous system disease research incorporates elements of Peripheral Visual Field Defect, Visual acuity, Anticonvulsant, Vigabatrin and Hyperammonemia.
His studies deal with areas such as Lennox–Gastaut syndrome, Epileptic encephalopathy, Adverse effect and Felbamate as well as Pediatrics.
His most cited work include:
- Infantile spasms. I, PET identifies focal cortical dysgenesis in cryptogenic cases for surgical treatment (537 citations)
- Infantile spasms: A U.S. consensus report (305 citations)
- Assessment and surgical outcomes for mild type I and severe type II cortical dysplasia: A critical review and the UCLA experience (291 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
W. Donald Shields spends much of his time researching Epilepsy, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery and El Niño.
His research in Epilepsy intersects with topics in Anesthesia, Central nervous system disease, Audiology, Cognition and Magnetic resonance imaging.
He has researched Pediatrics in several fields, including Affect, Tuberous sclerosis, Etiology and Pediatric epilepsy.
Mental health is closely connected to Clinical psychology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Psychiatry.
His study in Surgery is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cortical dysplasia, Hemispherectomy, Epilepsy surgery and Vigabatrin.
As part of the same scientific family, W. Donald Shields usually focuses on El Niño, concentrating on Risk factor and intersecting with Vaccination and Epidemiology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Epilepsy (60.22%)
- Pediatrics (31.18%)
- Psychiatry (24.73%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Epilepsy, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Surgery and Vigabatrin.
His Epilepsy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Depression, Magnetic resonance imaging and Audiology.
W. Donald Shields usually deals with Psychiatry and limits it to topics linked to Clinical psychology and Psychiatric interview.
His Pediatrics research includes elements of Infantile Spasm and Pediatric epilepsy.
The Surgery study combines topics in areas such as Resective surgery, Anesthesia and Hypsarrhythmia.
His studies in Vigabatrin integrate themes in fields like New drug application, Clinical trial, Adverse effect and Adult patients.
Between 2007 and 2016, his most popular works were:
- Infantile spasms: A U.S. consensus report (305 citations)
- Assessment and surgical outcomes for mild type I and severe type II cortical dysplasia: A critical review and the UCLA experience (291 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Psychiatry
- Epilepsy
W. Donald Shields mostly deals with Epilepsy, Surgery, Psychiatry, Vigabatrin and Childhood absence epilepsy.
Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Dysplasia and Epilepsy.
W. Donald Shields interconnects Guideline, Magnetic resonance imaging and Intensive care medicine in the investigation of issues within Surgery.
His study looks at the intersection of Vigabatrin and topics like Adverse effect with Anesthesia, Clinical trial, Randomized controlled trial and Cohort.
His Childhood absence epilepsy research includes themes of Audiology, Temporal lobe, Brain mapping and Intelligence quotient.
His work carried out in the field of Anticonvulsant brings together such families of science as Peripheral Visual Field Defect, Visual acuity, Central nervous system disease and Pediatrics.
