Febrile Seizures
For most children, fevers cause minor discomfort; but for a few children, fevers can cause seizures. While these seizures are considered benign and self-limiting, a febrile seizure is a terrifying event for most parents and is one of the most common reasons for a trip to the emergency department (ED).
Condition
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological condition involving the brain that makes people more susceptible to having recurrent unprovoked seizures. The two broad categories of epileptic seizures are generalized and partial seizures.

4-Year Study Finds No Correlation Between Head Impacts and Cognitive Outcomes in Youth Tackle Football Players
Dr. Sean Rose and colleagues collaborated with MORE Foundation, the Complex Concussion Clinic at Nationwide Children's, and other researchers to prospectively follow youth tackle football players in real time across four seasons, which can account for confounding factors. The study, recently published in JAMA Network Open, was conducted from July 2016 through January 2020, and enrolled players from four football teams. A total of 70 male players, 9-12 years of age, who were in 5th and 6th grade, volunteered to participate, with 18 completing all four years of the study.
