As a pediatric epilepsy specialist, one of the most common questions I get is whether parents can detect their child’s seizure if they aren’t physically with them. It can cause many parents to want to sleep in the same room with their child or not let them out of their sight for sleepovers and other fun activities. This is not recommended, as research suggests that hovering can have negative effects on these children....

Migraines are severe headaches with specific symptoms that follow a pattern. They are common in children and can start at any age. Migraines tend to run in families. If you think that your child has migraines, the health care provider will do a thorough exam, ask about symptoms, and ask if any family members have a history of frequent headaches. Other tests may also be ordered to help plan your child’s treatment....
During our last blog post, we talked about the danger of nitrates in homemade baby food. Today I want to introduce another possible danger…botulism. Botulism is a disease caused by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. This bacteria produces a substance called botulinum toxin, which works at the cellular level, causing muscle paralysis. As it turns out, botulinum toxin isn’t all bad, and when limited quantities are injected into targeted areas, it can actually be quite helpful....

It wasn’t so long ago that a mother’s advice to her daughter regarding her menstrual cycle was, “Welcome to womanhood” or “I’m sorry, sweetie, every woman has painful cramps, you will get used to it. Take some medicine, use a heating pad and get some rest.” As social media helps to increase mainstream conversations surrounding women’s health issues, young girls have become more comfortable speaking to their friends and parents about issues they experience related to puberty and menstruation....

A recent news article sparked a community-wide conversation about prenatal genetic testing. The article makes it seem like these tests are of little to no medical value because results can sometimes be wrong. As a clinical geneticist, I see many families who have found value in prenatal genetic tests. However, many in the general public may not understand how they should be used and many primary care providers are not trained to explain why results can be important to patients....
It’s finally spring and the vacation-planning season has officially begun. I just booked our summer trip, and after 15 hours of pure torture in the car last summer, this year we decided to fly. My oldest was six weeks old the first time I flew with him, and it was a long flight – Seattle to Columbus. Needless to say, I was a bit nervous. It was actually a lot easier than I thought, and since that time I have figured a few things out....
What Is a Serious Safety Event (SSE)? A Safety Event is a situation where best or expected practice does not occur. If this is followed by serious harm to a patient, then we call it a “Serious Safety Event (SSE)”. Why Do We Measure? When an SSE occurs, we mobilize all our resources to understand what happened and why it happened. By studying what happened and why we can best determine how to prevent it from happening again....
We interrupt this regularly-scheduled blog for an important safety reminder: Strangers may be dangerous! It’s a nightmare scenario for parents. Your child doesn’t arrive home from school at the expected time, or you turn away for a moment—on the playground or at the shopping mall—and your child is gone. You toss rational explanations aside and immediately assume the worst… a stranger has abducted your child. Each year 800,000 children under the age of 18 are reported missing in the United States....
