“…Furthermore, developmental delay, admission to NICU for long period, day care attendance, past history of FC, deficiency in iron and zinc level and possibly some immunization such as (DPT and MMR) can be a risk factor for febrile convulsion. [7] In addition, a genetic cause for FC has been suggested, but still no susceptible gene has been identified. Febrile convulsion may occur before or soon after the onset of fever, with the likelihood of convulsion increasing with the child's temperature and not with the rate of temperature rise.…”

Background/Objective: Febrile convulsions (FCs) are the most common convulsive disorder of childhood, and represent a benign condition in children. FC occurrence can affect negatively on the familial quality of life and the parents may experience anxiety and fear with every time child develops fever. Therefore, parents and care givers should be educated about febrile convulsion and its home management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementing an educational module on mother's knowledge, home management and attitude about febrile convulsion.Methods: A quasi experimental research design using one group pre & post-test was used. The study sample included 107 mothers of children with febrile convulsion according to statistical consultant and statistical formula. The inclusion criteria were: all mothers of children with first or recurrent FC and the children age was from 6 months to five years. The study was conducted at the Emergency department, outpatient clinic and medical word affiliated to Mansoura University Children's Hospital, Egypt.Results: It was found that, fifty two percent (52.3%) of studied children were boys with the mean age were Mean ± SD 2.76 ± 1.30 for children and 30.29 ± 6.41 for mothers. Percentage of studied mother with good knowledge at base line was low (11.2%) while, this percentage was improved to 65.4% with a mean knowledge score 3.98 ± 2.18 before module and 9.70 ± 1.56 after module implementation. In addition, sixty four percent (64.4%) of studied mothers had inappropriate practice and home management compared to less than half (44.9%) after module implementation; the difference was statistically significant (p = .005). Only 25.3% of mothers had positive attitude about febrile convulsion before module implementation and this percentage was improved to 57.9% after module implementation with the mean score of attitude 18.42 ± 5.84 before module and 24.71 ± 6.76 post module implementation and the difference was statistically significant (p = .025). Conclusions:The study concluded that, the use of educational intervention programs and mothers support group were influenced positively in improving mothers' knowledge, home management & attitude about FC and its management; but still some mothers having inappropriate home management and negative attitude. Therefore, it is recommended further education in the pediatric clinic or via mass media.

“…For example, in the 1990s, the link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines and autism, made on the basis of poor quality research coupled with self-serving and commercial interest, had a major and serious negative public impact. This impact instigated a very large number of new studies where the putative link was not found (Demicheli et al, 2012).…”

Community engagement and knowledge translation: Progress and challenge in autism research

The last decade has seen significant growth in scientific understanding and public awareness of autism. There is still a long road ahead before this awareness can be matched with parallel improvements in evidence-based practice. The process of translating evidence into community care has been hampered by the seeming disconnect between the mainstream scientific research agenda and the immediate priorities of many communities. The need for community engagement in the process of translating knowledge into impact has been recognized. However, there remains little consensus or empirical data regarding the process of such engagement and how to measure its impact. We shed light on a number of engagement models and tools, previously advocated in health research, as they apply to autism research. Furthermore, we illustrate the utility of such tools in supporting identification of knowledge gaps and priorities, using two community-based case studies. The case studies illustrate that information generated from research is indeed relevant and critical for knowledge users in the community. Simple and systematic methods can support the translation and uptake of knowledge in diverse communities, therefore enhancing engagement with research and bridging research findings with immediate community needs.

“…The number of cases in 1994-1998 may therefore be an overestimation and the current increase even more marked. [11,12]. In addition, epidemiological studies have shown that the effectiveness declines with time since last vaccination [13,14] and antibody titers exhibit a gradual decline over time [15][16][17], implicating waning immunity as an underlying reason for the observed mumps resurgence.…”

Vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella in children

Abstract: The design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre- and post-marketing, are largely inadequate. The evidence of adverse events following immunisation with MMR cannot be separated from its role in preventing the target diseases.
