Ooops. Sorry. I interpreted your "I can't find the reference" as saying you were looking for an explanationThanks, I know what sleep apnea and apnea tests are. What I'm asking is, where does Prestigiacomo refer to a sleep apnea test?

Please stop misrepresenting the facts.
One licensed physician has spoken on the record with the court in this matter, from the petitioner's side.
I know I initially said I would go back to lurking, but at the private request of many, I was invited to continue posting here. You seem very determined to misrepresent facts and evidence in a forum that is dedicated to exposing and discussing facts. Why are you even here if you are so determined to misrepresent facts?
Yes, I've seen it all and all the people associated with it. But I'm, as well as everyone else, only concerned with the names of the people who have been willing to go on the record officially with the court and request admission as expert witnesses either through a specific filing, or appointment. Only 4 have done so, which is very telling. Why didn't Shewmon ask to be considered an expert witness? Why didn't Mihalenko? There could be numerous reasons for this, and my opinion would just be speculation. But the FACTS, and only the FACTS, state one single MD (Prestigiacomo) for Dolan's team is legally involved.Did you look at the link I gave you earlier? It contains the CV's and the declarations of other physicians. Several physicians have spoken on record, Mihalenko, Shewmon, Prestigiacomo are all physicians and so is Machado although not licenced in the USA.
However, none of them testify that they've attempted or succeeded in getting Jahi to follow spoken commands or done a neurological status. It's all about EEG findings (that may or may not be an artefact), the presence of brain tissue in the cranium (that isn't relevant according to the guidelines) and Jahi reacting to her mother's voice which seems anecdotal and quite possibly coincidental. If it's just video people are reviewing is there even any proof that the audio track wasn't edited later?
I think the absence of the neurological exam results is very significant in their very absence. JMO.
One of Dolan's experts, I think Shewmon, says that the MRI shows severe brainstem damage as expected from the progress notes from the previous hospital. I took that to mean that Jahi's status probably hasn't changed and she'd still fail the apnea test and the brain stem reflexes.
What experts ????
No experts have stated that there are some brain function remaining. None.
Well it depends who you ask I suppose...? If Jahi really responded to her mother's speech by following the requests she was awake at the time.
I can't find the reference to a sleep apnea test, can anyone help?

Dr. Prestigiacomo is Chairman of the Neurology dept at Rutgers.
medical school neurologist Charles Prestigiacomo and found she had measurable brain activity.

According to the court, only 4 people did this for Dolan. It doesn't matter what other names or letters Dolan includes in his press releases. If the court doesn't list it on record, then it doesn't exist with the court.JMO and I'm no lawyer but as far as I'm concerned I think everyone who submitted a signed statement to the proceedings was willing to go on the record officially.

It's not missing. Fischer received Dolan's writ of error corum nobis, which included everything Dolan may or may not choose to use as evidence at the hearing. Courts are kind of funny that way. "Nothing exists until the court adds it to the record."Well I think there might be something missing in your screenshot because Fisher states in his letter that he received Shewmon's statement from Grillo's court. So it seems it must have been noted to exist there at some point.

brain 'activity' is not same thing as brain 'function.'
ETA:
Brain death is the complete and irreversible loss of brain function, although there may still be very low levels electrical activity found during testing
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=brain+activity+vs+brain+function
Evidently is was at a level that could be measured. I'll continue to rely on the expert opinion offered by Dr. Prestigiacomo, thanks.
I think we have to be clear that low voltage electrical activity is not the same thing as "brain function".
Remember that even a few lemons can power an LED light, and a potato can generate enough electricity to run a clock. Just sayin'. That's precisely why a completely flat EEG is not part of the brain death criteria. The EEG can, also detect electricity elsewhere in the body, or from sources like the ventilator tubing, as was mentioned before in one of the declarations.

Dr. Prestigiacomo didn't give an expert opinion on the autistic-child EEG test performed on Jahi's brain dead corpse. He only opined on the MRI and MRA, according to page 140 of Dolan's press release:Evidently is was at a level that could be measured. I'll continue to rely on the expert opinion offered by Dr. Prestigiacomo, thanks.
