HISTORIA DEL HOSPITAL INFANTIL DE MEXICO FEDERICO GOMEZ
Comite ejecutvo del HIM El Hospital de Pediatría más antiguo de Latinoamérica (71 años) 30 de abril del 1943 por el Dr. Federico Gómez Santos. Es uno de los Institutos Nacionales de Salud y líderes en asistencia e Investigación pediátrica en México. HISTORIA DEL DEPARTAMENTO DE NEUROLOGIA PEDIATRICA DEL HOSPITAL INFANTIL FEDERICO GÓMEZ De forma simultánea al progreso del Hospital infantil de México el servicio de neurología pediátrica buscando la formación de recursos humanos fue una prioridad que se profesionaliza de manera progresiva hasta lograr en 1986 la formalización del curso universitario de la especialidad de neurología pediátrica. De esta manera desde la formación de este curso se han entrenado más de 112 especialistas; 84 nacionales y 28 extranjeros. Durante los últimos años existe una transición en México y el mundo de la medicina en general y la neuropediatría en particular, sobre las enfermedades neurológicas, la forma de abordarlas y sus tratamientos. El departamento de neurología del Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez (HIMFG) no sólo ha sido participe de estos cambios sino ha participado en su desarrollo. Esto ha favorecido que el departamento de neurología se encuentre en un proceso evolutivo intentando posicionarse como un departamento vanguardista basado en sus tres objetivos fundamentales: Investigación, Enseñanza y Asistencia. Todos estos procesos requieren para realizarse de tener una base firme que los guíe, los cuales están sustentados en la calidez de la atención otorgada y la generación de conocimientos. Toda esta generación de conocimientos deberá no solo de tener una visión vanguardista sino que deberá de impactar en nuestras comunidades. Así; por ejemplo, se ha logrado realizar la primera aplicación para teléfonos celulares inteligentes en epilepsia, logrando impactar sobre la calidad de vida de pacientes con este transtorno no solo en México sino en nuestra región. Los retos de estos objetivos requieren del esfuerzo y compromiso de todos los que participan dentro del departamento de neuropediatría, por lo que el trabajo en equipo es indispensable, logrando mantener una motivación en cada uno de sus integrantes; desde el jefe del departamento hasta el residente de primer año de la especialidad e integrando a cada uno de los egresados en estos puntos indispensables como la gran familia que formamos.

Professor Helen Cross Professor Helen Cross is The Prince of Wales’s Chair of Childhood Epilepsy and Honorary Consultant in Paediatric Neurology at UCL-Institute of Child Health, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust, London and Young Epilepsy, Lingfield. Professor Cross has published widely on seizure, neuropsychological and behavioural outcomes in children who have undergone surgical resection for treatment of their epilepsy. Her research has focused on improving outcomes for children with early onset epilepsy. Her early research was into improving imaging techniques to determine areas of likely seizure onset in children with drug resistant focal epilepsy and has developed an epilepsy surgery programme based on her research. She conducted the first randomized controlled trial of the ketogenic diet in the treatment of children with drug resistant focal epilepsy and are endeavouring to conduct the same in the very young and adults. Recognising there was little in the way of control data with regard to neurodevelopmental progress, she initiated the North London Epilepsy in Infancy study, where a cohort of children was recruited at diagnosis in the first two years of life, and has been followed to at least three years. She is now aiming to conduct a similar study over a wider geographical area, also examining phenotypes and genotypes. She is also endeavouring to examine mechanisms of cognitive impairment – in particular examining the relationship of sleep to memory consolidation. The Prince of Wales's Chair of Childhood Epilepsy.

RESEARCH SUMMARY: In Rett syndrome (RS), Dr. Naidu is a trained pediatrician and neurologist with special interest in developmental and neurogenetic disorders affecting children and adults. Combining careful clinical analysis with technological advances in neuroimaging, genetics and neuroscience. Work involving this interface provides a unique opportunity to understand the developing brain, the biological basis of disease and to develop new strategies for prevention and therapy. Dr. Naidu and colleagues, in addition to having extensively studied the pathogenesis of RS, proposed a chemical explanation for why older girls with the disorder have fewer seizures, and experience less psychomotor regression than younger ones. In her work with other neurodegenerative disorders, particularly those associated with abnormalities of the white matter of the brain, Dr. Naidu and colleagues have tested criteria for in vivo MR imaging diagnosis of Alexander's disease, usually eliminating the need for a brain biopsy to obtain a definitive diagnosis. She has also demonstrated a novel MRI manifestation of adult KrabbĂŠ disease. Dr. Naidu works with unclassified leukoencephalopathies, and has identified new categories of disorders in which genetic studies are being pursued.

Professor Michel Johnston Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. Director, Neuroscience Laboratory Kennedy Krieger Institute & Attending Physician Hopkins Children’s and Kennedy Krieger Professor, Neurology, Pediatrics and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Johns Hokins University and Kennedy Kreieger Institute Dr. Johnston is a pediatric neurologist who graduated from the University Of Pittsburgh School Of Medicine in 1971 and then came to Baltimore and trained in pediatrics, clinical pharmacology and pediatric neurology at Johns Hopkins. During his neurology residency he spent two years working in Joseph Coyle’s laboratory at Hopkins doing research on the effects of brain injury on neurotransmitters systems. After completing his residency training he was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor where he practiced pediatric neurology and started a laboratory to continue his research. His laboratory was among the first to recognize the important role of the neurotransmitter glutamate to cause brain injury from hypoxia, stroke and trauma in infants and children, and the potential to design therapies to protect the brain and salvage brain tissue (neuroprotection). After eight years at Michigan he returned to Baltimore to become the Chief Medical Officer and Director of the Neuroscience Laboratory at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Professor of Neurology, Pediatrics and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Johns Hopkins Children's Center. At Kennedy Krieger Institute, he holds the Blum/Moser Chair for Pediatric Neurology.

Professor Kenneth Mack Kenneth J. Mack MD PhD is a Consultant at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, United States. He is on the editorial board of multiple neurology journals, and is the former Secretary of the International Child Neurology Association. He is a child neurologist and headache specialist who deals with patients who have chronic daily headache. He has researched and written on the subjects of chronic daily headache, new daily persistent headache, and co-morbidities in headache patients. Professor Naibadu Dr. Naidu’s advocacy for patients and families with rare diseases is matched by her enthusiasm for the encouragement of the development of child neurology in India and elsewhere in the world. Dr. Naidu received her M.B.B.S. from the Madras Medical College (MMC), India, in 1962. Dr. Naidu achieved board certification in electroencephalography in 1982 pursued fellowship training in neonatal EEG/neurology at Port Royal Hospital, Paris, France, in 1983. Her early research concentrations included the role of taurine in childhood epilepsy, the effects of aspartame on early developing brain, neuro-developmental effects of intraventricular neonatal hemorrhage, and the efficacy of clorazepate in treatment of epilepsy. In 1984 she was recruited as Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation Scholar and as member of the faculty at Johns Hopkins and the Kennedy Krieger Institute. At Hopkins Dr. Naidu formed a particularly close and remarkably productive relationship with Dr. Hugo Moser. Both manifested a remarkably similar capacity for the enlistment of the collaborative efforts of individuals from diverse professional backgrounds in order to achieve advancement in the understanding of the pathogenesis, treatment, and outcome of neurological illnesses. At Hopkins Dr. Naidu concentrated on leukodystrophic conditions (peroxisomal varieties as well as ascertaining the causes and providing definitions for those of “unknown etiology”), genetic causes of mental retardation, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, and Rett syndrome. She has achieved international standing in all of these areas with efforts and achievements ranging from elucidating pathogenesis and refining clinical descriptions to meticulous clinical trials. To date, Dr. Naidu and her associates have contributed 142 original papers to the peer-reviewed literature. It is a challenging task to report within the compass of this sketch the breadth and depth of these papers. The most striking observation is to note that sixty-eight of these papers concern almost every imaginable aspect of Rett syndrome, a condition concerning virtually all aspects of which Dr. Naidu is among the world’s leading experts.
