Rehabilitation Services and Long-Term Discharge Planning for Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome (FIRES) Patients: A Single Institution Review - Kimberly Davis
Short Summary: Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) has a devastating clinical presentation characterized by refractory status epilepticus without a clear structural, toxic, or metabolic cause. Though FIRES can occur at any age, pediatric populations tend to be primarily affected, with most cases occurring in school-age children. FIRES is difficult to diagnose and presents a significant challenge for clinicians with respect to treatment and seizure control. It is associated with a poor prognosis, with up to 30% of cases resulting in death. Most surviving cases present with refractory epilepsy and severe neurological sequelae, especially with younger age of onset.

Sensory Stimulation for Children and Youth with Disorders of Consciousness: Recommendations from the Developing Evidence-base
Wendy L. Magee & Valerie Paasch
Short summary: Disorders of consciousness (DOC) can occur following profound acquired brain injury. Recovery patterns vary widely for this population with some individuals quickly emerging from a DOC and others remaining in this stage for a prolonged amount of time. There is a paucity of evidence-based interventions and assessments for this complex population, as pediatric-specific research is lacking in this area.
