Children increasingly rely on food stamps

A new study that came out last week reports that half of American kids will receive food stamps before the age of 20. Mark Schuster, MD, PhD, chief of the division of General Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Boston, says that while the findings are sobering, they don’t come as a surprise. “The public perception is that food stamps primarily go to families that are dependent on them for many years. The reality, however, is that many families go through periods of economic difficulty and programs like food stamps can help make the difference in getting them through rough times.”
The study revealed that while 20 perc...

Conclusion: Burnout may be a useful model for understanding long-term parental responses and should be acknowledged among the different types of psychological consequences of the multi-faceted experience of parenting a child with chronic illness. Gender seems to influence the risk of burnout symptoms. Continued research about other background factors, and how the parents' situation changes over time are warranted. In the clinic, we need to draw attention to the group of parents who may suffer from burnout.

Pearson syndrome, rarely diagnosed in newborns, should be suspected in the presence of macrocytic aregenerative anemia and requires a bone marro...

Childhood obesity is a predisposing factor for adult cardiovascular diseases. Human serum paraoxonase (PON1) may protect against atherosclerosis by hydrolyzing lipid peroxides in oxidized LDL. Alterations and potential correlations of PON1 activities, leptin and adiponectin levels in childhood obesity were studied. We measured PON1 paraoxonase and arylesterase activities, anthropometric parameters, leptin and adiponectin levels in 59 white, obese (obese group-OB: BMI corrected for age: 95.1+/-3.5 percentile, age: 11.9+/-1.6 years) and 51 normal-weight children (control group-C: BMI corrected for age: 64.1+/-8.4 percent...

The absence of a comprehensive analysis for Phenylketonuria (PKU) mutations in the Chinese Han population has resulted in continued studies over the past 18 years to elucidate the mutational spectrum in patients from virtually all Chinese regions.

A total of 79 different mutations were identified in 405 out of 424 mutant PAH alleles including 15 novel ones. Eight mutations, R243Q, Ex6-96A>G, IVS4-1G>A, R413P, Y356X, R111X, R241C and V39...

Controversy exists as to whether the parenterally (PN) fed human neonate is capable of synthesizing adequate cysteine from methionine if the total dietary requirement for sulphur amino acid (SAA) is provided as methionine only. The goal of this study was to gather data on whether glutathione (GSH) synthesis is maximized at a methionine intake previously shown to be adequate for protein synthesis in the PN-fed human neonate. We measured GSH concentration, fractional and absolute synthesis rate in 5 PN-fed human neonates. Each neonate underwent two isotope infusion studies of 7 h duration after a 2-d adaptation to the to...

Male rats were either artificially reared (AR) or maternally reared (MR) from postnatal day 5 to 21. In adulthood (4-month old), rats received a single injection of morphine sulfate (10 mg/kg) or equivolume saline 2 h prior to perfusion and brain extraction. Neural act...

Chronic lung injury in the neonate is termed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). These patients generally require supplemental oxygen therapy, and hyperoxia has been implicated in the pathogenesis of BPD. The concomitant use of oxygen and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) may result in the generation of reactive nitrogen species, or may have an anti-inflammatory effect in the neonatal lung. We tested the hypothesi...
