A Distinctive Ictal Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography Pattern in Newborns with Neonatal Epilepsy Associated with KCNQ2 Mutations.

abstract：:Treatment of sick neonates originated in maternity and foundling hospitals in the 19th century. Nosocomial infections and difficult logistics of wet-nursing prevented admission of neonates in most children's hospitals well into the 20th century. In this article, 31 hospitals are described, all located in large cities,...
