Talk:Febrile seizure

message: I reverted this article all the way back to the version by Waellll111 at 04:40, 21 September 2010.  The edit by Jamhour-njitwill at 18:55, 23 November 2010 somehow messed up most of the formatting for references, and the problem was never corrected after that.  Also, I don't think that the information added in that revision is entirely appropriate for this article—it's a little bit off-topic, and seems to be more of a "how-to" than encyclopedic content.  While I'm sure Jamhour-njitwill's intention was to be helpful, I don't think these problems can be easily corrected at this point without reverting the article.  It also doesn't appear that much, if any, information has been added since then, so a revert seems appropriate.   —Guido del Confuso (talk) 01:19, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: cause

message: "Simple febrile seizures do not cause permanent brain injury; do not tend to recur frequently (children tend to outgrow them); and do not make the development of adult epilepsy significantly more likely (about 3–5%), compared with the general public (1%)."
How is 3-5% not significantly more than 1% ???  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.153.95.138 (talk) 16:00, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not significant? 

message: recent studies have shown that gastroenteritis is in fact not normally associated with febrile seizures, as in only a very small percent (around 5-7%) of patients presented with FS with underlying GE.
I'd rather remove GE or rephrase "normally precipitated by a recent upper respiratory tract infection or gastroenteritis" - there are other causes, upper respiratory tract infections being at around 74%. For example, otitis media is also 7% but I don't see it here.
I won't modify myself right now, but when I finish studying this subject I will do so and add my sources too. Meanwhile, this article needs revision badly.

replies: text: We have 'slept on it' for a week now and our strong objections to Doc James edits still stand.  He is cherry picking articles to support his agenda leaving the page factually inaccurate in multiple places.  Personally, we pity your patients for the misguided advise you will give them and more broadly for the misinformation this page now presents.  And before you ask us again to fix the page we have better things to do than to case-by-case refute your pages inaccuracies.  Alas wikipedia has shown itself to yet again be a cabal of the ill-informed.  In summary, for the record, our organisation categorically refutes the information on this page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.7.37.5 (talk) 08:26, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Our statement here 

message: The second paragraph of the lead section states, "There are two types of febrile seizures: simple febrile seizures and complex febrile seizures", but the subsubsection 3.1, "Types" lists three types. I'm going to guess that there are three types, but shouldn't the lead section be changed to suit? Wocky (talk) 05:14, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi User:Doc James. Nothing wrong with the article. Somehow the reference wasn't showing up at the bottom of the page and was giving us an error. We weren't able to see which article it was and was just trying to fix the error. Thank you for fixing it! MelanieBui (talk) 20:26, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Reference

message: - I enjoy that there is a clear attempt to reference almost every sentence, sometimes even multiple sources per sentence.
- The language is clearly written and understandable to the average reader
- There is excellent expression of differing opinions on certain matters, such as whether or not the rate of increase of temperature influences the incidence of febrile seizures, without taking either side and providing effective references.  I would, however, remove the sentence about the "latter point has not been proven" as this is inferred by the differing of opinions and may be construed as "picking a side."
- I particularly enjoy the chart comparing simple vs complex febrile seizures
Suggestions:
- In the end of the first paragraph, it is mentioned briefly that there are simple and complex seizures, but a complex seizure is never defined here.  A short definition after the definition of simple febrile seizure would fit well. 
- Just a syntax suggestion: "it is thought to involve genetics, THE ENVIRONMENT*, brain immaturity..."
- In the last sentence of the first section, I would re-word the 2% epilepsy statement to be more clear.  Do 2% of febrile seizure patients go on to have epilepsy?  Or 2% more than the general population? 
- Perhaps, as a subsection under Diagnosis, you can include a differential diagnosis.  The audience that is reading might want to know what other causes of seizures commonly occur in babies if febrile seizure is not the cause.  You touch on this with meningitis and encephalitis, but the list could be separately designated and more thorough. It would be important, though, to emphasize that febrile seizures are the most common type of seizure to avoid instilling anxiety in parents.
- I made some minor edits for grammar and syntax, please see if you agree with these changes
