Hi,
Can anyone give me any links to papers or publications by Dr. J? I'm trying to convince a "doubting Thomas" who feels that he would be published if he has been as successful in treating chldren as he claims.
Thanks

A controlled study of cognitive deficits in children with chronic Lyme disease.

Although neurologic Lyme disease is known to cause cognitive dysfunction in adults, little is known about its long-term sequelae in children. Twenty children with a history of new-onset cognitive complaints after Lyme disease were compared with 20 matched healthy control subjects. Each child was assessed with measures of cognition and psychopathology. Children with Lyme disease had significantly more cognitive and psychiatric disturbances. Cognitive deficits were still found after controlling for anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Lyme disease in children may be accompanied by long-term neuropsychiatric disturbances, resulting in psychosocial and academic impairments. Areas for further study are discussed.

Generally speaking, doctors in private practice don't get very involved with publishing, not the way academic-associated doctors do. They don't have the time, for one thing. And publish or perish is not applied to them, as it is in academia. Although, nowadays publishing might be secondary to bringing in grant money to the institutions. Or bringing home the bacon with patents and other revenue producing activities.

This is not just true of lyme docs, but all docs.
