Unlabelled: To study different forms of specific language impairment in children and to evaluate the efficacy of cerebrolysin in clinical and electroencephalographic aspects.

Material And Methods: Authors examined 60 children, aged 5-7 years, with a specific language impairment (SLI).

Results And Conclusion: The study showed the significantly higher severity of speech disorders, a higher degree of asthenia and dyspraxia/dysgnosia in a group of children with a disorder of receptive language (SLI-R) compared to children with a disorder of expressive speech (SLI-E). A comparative analysis of the EEG power spectra showed large values of slow theta-band EEG in children with SLI compared with healthy children. Children with SLI-R were characterized by the increase in theta rhythm power in the occipital region compared with children with SLI-E. The high efficacy of cerebrolysin in the treatment of this disease (an improvement was obtained in 73.3% of cases) was demonstrated, with the best effect in children with SLI-E (80.0% of cases).

Was extinction of New Zealand's avian megafauna an unavoidable consequence of human arrival?

Electronic address:

Human overexploitation contributed strongly to the loss of hundreds of bird species across Oceania, including nine giant, flightless birds called moa. The inevitability of anthropogenic moa extinctions in New Zealand has been fiercely debated. However, we can now rigorously evaluate their extinction drivers using spatially explicit demographic models capturing species-specific interactions between moa, natural climates and landscapes, and human colonists.
