Acute and chronic effects of seizures in the developing brain: lessons from clinical experience.

abstract：:We explored Kentuckians' attitudes toward children with epilepsy. Questions compared respondents' attitudes about children with epilepsy, asthma, hyperactivity, and AIDS. Random digit dialing led to 617 completed interviews. The key questions asked concerned (a) how a pupil with each illness would alter the classroom ...
