Fisher syndrome(English)
- a clinical variant of Guillain–Barré syndrome, characterized by the triad of ophthalmoparesis, ataxia, and areflexia. Additionally, often associated with symptoms secondary to cranial nerve weakness (facial paralysis, swallowing disorders, etc.), and usually preceded by an infection, most typically a gastrointestinal infection caused by Campylobacter jejuni; aka Miller Fisher syndrome

flexible sigmoidoscopy(English)
- an endoscopic procedure that examines the distal colon and rectum, typically to the level of the splenic flexure. Can be performed alone every 5 years, or in combination with a sensitive fecal blood test performed annually. Usually performed without sedation and with a more limited bowel preparation than OC. Case-control studies demonstrated a decrease in CRC incidence compared with unscreened control groups. Scope insertion beyond 40 cm is considered one measure of study quality, but it does not guarantee adequate polyp detection. The major limitations of FS compared with OC are that it does not examine the entire colon and that full OC is often required when left-sided polyps are found. The ACS guidelines recommend that most patients who have adenomas discovered at FS should undergo OC evaluation. If biopsies are not obtained at FS, an alternative strategy is to refer all patients with one or more polyps greater than 5 mm to OC. Perforation is a feared complication of FS

febrile seizure(English)
- most common seizure disorder of childhood, and occurs in an age-related manner. Classified into simple and complex types. A multifactorial inheritance suggests that both genetic and environmental factors are causative. Risk factors are a family history of the disorder and a developmental delay. Risk factors for recurrent types are a family history, age below 18 months at seizure onset, maximum temperature, and duration of fever. Antipyretics are not proven to reduce the recurrence risk. Meningitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for any febrile child
