Ear infections, conjunctivitis, and bronchitis do not respond to antibiotics. That is the news in three medical articles that disprove the utility of antibiotics for common childhood illnesses.. A landmark study published in Pediatrics has shown that treating ear infections with antibiotics has no benefit when compared to doing nothing (McCormick 2005). In this study 223 children were divided into two groups. One group received antibiotics, the other group received only medicines for symptom relief. The study sought to evaluate several outcomes including (1) parent satisfaction with their childs care, (2) resolution of symptoms, and (3) failure and recurrence rate. The study was limited to nonsevere ear infections. The severity was determined by parents perception of the severity and by examination of the eardrum.. Results of the study were dramatic. Parent satisfaction was equal in the two groups at both 12 days and 30 days after treatment. No difference was observed between the two groups in ...

This occurs when a child has difficult bowel movements which occur less frequently than normal bowel movements.. What are normal bowel movements?. Normal is different for every child. So, it is a change in your childs normal that suggests a problem. However, generally…. Breastfed babies often pass out runny, yellow poops because breast milk digests better than formula milk. Newborn breastfed babies are likely to poop about 3 to 4 times per day and it is not uncommon to see some older breastfed babies poop only once a week.. Formula fed babies are likely to poop 2 to 3 times per day, depending on the type of formula. Some soy and cow milk formula cause harder bowel movements while hypoallergenic formula is likely to cause looser bowel movements.. As a child grows and starts to eat different kinds of solids, his poop is likely to change in colour, consistency and smell (depending on what his diet consists of). It also becomes less frequent and looks more well formed, just like an adults ...

Aspects of the social environment, including social conditions (socio-economic status, household situations, chronic illnesses) and social relations (attitude and behaviors of relations) are major determinants of depression among women. This study evaluates the relative power of social relations and social conditions in predicting depression among pregnant women in Pakistan. In the qualitative phase of the study, social environmental determinants were identified through literature search, and experts opinions from psychologists, psychiatrists, gynecologists, sociologists and researchers. Along with this, 79 in-depth interviews were conducted with pregnant women drawn from six hospitals (public and private) and two communities in Karachi, Pakistan. Identified determinants of depression were grouped into themes of social conditions and social relations and pregnancy-related concerns. In the studys quantitative phase, the relative power of the identified themes and categories, based on their scores for

But he persuaded a few to help. He approached some sweeper women.. What are you talking about? they said when they heard his plan. How can you possibly think people will come and eat?. I heard their speeches, Satyarthi said.. They laughed. Youre very naïve.. Still, a few agreed to cook a meal. His friends rode their bicycles around town, dropping off invitations at 50 or 60 houses. The response was encouraging. Satyarthi recalled: People said, O.K., good idea, very progressive. Some asked, Can we bring friends?. They planned for 30 guests.. In the evening I saw these sweeper women come to cook, Satyarthi said. They must have washed themselves and ...

There are lots of treatments for common childhood illnesses that have stood the test of time -- some for the wrong reasons. What works and what should you stay away from?
The projected additional cost per year 2018-2036 varies between 8 and 100 USD million depending on the scope of the package and the target coverage. The average annual per capita cost varies from USD 0.72 for expanding routine immunization to USD 8.26 for the expanded immunization plus management of childhood illness.. The implementation of a comprehensive package of both preventive and curative care could avert over 71,000 child deaths over the course of the investment if made universally available (95% coverage), and bring the under-five mortality ratio down from its current level of 69 per 1000 live births by 62%, to reach 51 deaths per 1000 live births. The greatest absolute gains in terms of deaths averted and reduction in mortality rates comes from the management of common childhood illness. This is partially due to the lower starting coverage of these interventions.. ...
Developing sustainable, long-term solutions - Efforts in Africa need to be sustainable to really make a difference. Programs that help to train physicians and other healthcare workers are essential. Africa is home to one-seventh of the worlds population and one-quarter of its disease burden, but only 2% of its doctors. In some places, more than 10,000 people rely on just two doctors. The number of nurses and midwives is equally sparse. Efforts to train healthcare workers at the local level are needed, and working in rural areas will be critical to success. At Novartis, were helping sponsor a variety of trainings, including supporting training centers for health workers and developing e-learning tools for diagnosing and treating common childhood illnesses..

Tyranny Unmasked, 1848, Karl Marx. Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.. On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution.. The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.. Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty.. But, you say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.. And your education!

It is held today that children should not just be fed in the right way but that ecological, regional and social conditions should also be taken into account when buying food.

So it would be a good thing if this article explained the appropriate foods for a child. But youve already guessed it: there is no

This study identified important possible factors that lead to inequalities in medical care utilization for childhood diarrhea, fever, and cough in Ethiopia. In this study, household wealth status, maternal education, paternal education, maternal age, childhood age, childhood birth order, and maternal workload were identified as factors leading to inequality in health care utilization.. Household wealth status was consistently associated with the three outcome variables, in other words, medical treatment seeking behaviors for childhood diarrhea, cough, and fever. Mothers from households with the richest, richer, and middle wealth status had higher odds of seeking medical treatment than the ones from the poorest household. This finding is consistent with studies in Uganda and Ethiopia which showed that delays in care seeking for childhood fever were higher in the lowest socio-economic status than in the highest one [14, 15]. Moreover, this finding is in agreement with other studies in developing ...

Since 1990, an ordinary Iraqi citizen has been dependant on the food ration[8] and at the same time had increasingly less opportunities to supplement it by purchases on the open market. The portion of income devoted to food increased with the decrease of income. The amount of food consumed by the Iraqi family with an average income in 1993 was only 31.3% of what that family had consumed in 1988[9]. By 1993 an average of 72 % of household incomes were used for the purchase of food[10]. FAO reported[11] in 1995 that the accessibility to food beyond the amounts provided through public rations has been limited by soaring food prices. The report slates that the Family Purchase Power Indicator (FPPI) for Iraq has been in constant decline.[12] Starting at 3.62 in 1990, the FPPI dropped to 0.15 in 1993, and to 0.06 in 1995. The post-1990 FPPI values are well below the 1.25 level which FAO considers as signal of household nutritional deficiency; such a level means that least 80% of a familys income is ...

Vitamin A is essential for the functioning of the human immune system. In industrialized countries, foods like flour or sugar have been fortified with it for decades. But its not the same picture in some developing countries, where children with Vitamin A deficiency run the risk of dying from common childhood illnesses like measles. The cost of ensuring all children receive enough Vitamin A is peanuts: capsules cost just 2 cents each, but improve childrens chances of survival by as much as 25%. This episode of Life looks at the prospects for two very different Vitamin A distribution programs in Ghana and Guatemala, and asks whether the best way to ensure all children have access to the nutrients that can help them lead healthy, fulfilled lives isnt new, genetically-modified crops -- like the experimental Vitamin-A modified golden rice currently being developed in Professor Ingo Potrykus lab in Switzerland, as part of an initiative supported by the Rockefeller Foundation..

Fever . Fever and red cheeks make me immediately think of fifths disease - also known as slapped cheeks disease. It is caused by a virus called parvovirus b19 and is a very common childhood illness. It is usually harmless and does not require treatment unless the child also has a chronic disease that can predispose them to anemia such as sickle cell anemia. It can also be a concern if a pregnant woman has been exposed to someone with fifths disease. Below ive linked to website with more in-depth information on fifths disease. In the meantime, its important to keep your child comfortable and watch for signs of a more serious infection. red flags that we look for with fever to indicate something more serious is going on are: -fevers that last 5 days or more -fevers persistently above 104f orally -a child that acts very sick - very irritable or difficult to wake -difficulty breathing -vomiting, diarrhea, refusal to drink, or dehydration -a purple rash, esp on the legs (a red lacy rash on the ...

Next, collective efficacy was added as a predictor in the level 3 model (Table 4, model 2). The analysis built in a correction for errors of measurement in this predictor (30). We found collective efficacy to be negatively related to violence (t = −5.95), net of all other effects, and to correspond to a standardized coefficient of −0.45. Hence, after social composition was controlled, collective efficacy was strongly negatively associated with violence. Moreover, the coefficients for social composition were substantially smaller than they had been without a control for collective efficacy. The coefficient for concentrated disadvantage, although still statistically significant, was 0.171 (as compared with 0.277). The difference between these coefficients (0.277 − 0.171 = 0.106) was significant (t = 5.30). Similarly, the coefficients for immigrant concentration and for residential stability were also significantly reduced: The coefficient for immigrant concentration, originally 0.041, was ...

Abstract The people of Colombia suffer from a deep spiral of internal conflicts and unstable social conditions. The aim of this study is to highlight inequality in Colombia by applying Charles Tillys theory of durable inequality through categorical pairs. A qualitative method is applied in order to gain deeper insight to inequality in Colombia. The essay examines the phenomenon by completing a content analysis. The breakdown is limited to four study categories: gender, crime, health and social stratification. Categorical inequality is further analysed through Tillys four mechanisms: exploitation, adaptation, emulation and opportunity hoarding. A coding scheme is used in order to heighten the reliability and validity. Code entities (study categories) are examined through specific code variables. The method is further improved by reinterpretation of the content and analysis of Tillys mechanisms. Results confirm the serious condition of internal conflicts in Colmbia. Social stratifiction have ...
Extreme poverty, overcrowded slums, lack of access to sanitation are some of the precarious social conditions that have caused coronavirus to spread among the most vulnerable in Colombias port cities, among them, two of the most important on the Caribbean coast - Barranquilla and Cartagena - and largest on the Pacific Ocean, Buenaventura.. As cases of COVID-19 continue to increase across the country, with 43,682 in total, Barranquilla on Wednesday reported 17 of the days 61 fatalities with more victims in nearby Soledad (5), as well as rural townships of Malambo, Ciénaga and Galapa in the department of Atlántico.. A similar tragedy is unfolding in Buenaventura, home to a predominately Afro-Colombian population, and whose proximity to the departmental capital Cali has facilitated the spread of the contagion among both populations. According to the mayor of Buenaventura Víctor Hugo Vidal, the high numbers of infection have exposed deep social and economic inequalities between the Pacific ...
Introduction. The analysis of pregnancy in Pietro the Fool and Peruonto Mathilde Jourdan Foundations in World Cultures - AHUM 1416-3 Dr. Gabrielle Popoff October 14th 2009 Both short folk stories Pietro the Fool by Giovanfrancesco Straparola and Peruonto by Giambattista Basile tell of a poor, dim and common boy who, upon being insulted by a girl from an upper social class, makes her pregnant by means of magic - and eventually marries her. Both Pietro and Peruonto are luckless heroes whose fortunes are changed by this magic act of conception. The theme of pregnancy reveals a lot about gender roles, social class issues and the kind of patriarchic society the heroes live in. It ties together all kinds of interesting aspects of life in those times. Hence by analyzing these stories, one can get a better idea of the social conditions of the time those characters live in. These tales reflect a male viewpoint in which the hero seeks revenge for the emasculating comments made by a young ...

Using that privilege to undermine the social relations that create that inequality is a radical act we must take up as white people within this movement if we are to become a real threat to the established order.. Widespread anger at social conditions, periodic rebellions and protests around discrete injustices, isolated movements, various forms of counter-culture, small-scale utopian projects or lifestyle politics always exist, but rarely transform society by themselves. Moments that have transformative potential are products of intense crisis coupled with broad based movements that feed off of each other. We are living through one of these crises now, and the Occupy movement seems to be a first step down what will be a very long road that will hopefully lead to a different ...
20] The United States deep social problems are all the more disturbing because the nation enjoys exceptional per capita wealth among the major western nations (Barro and McCleary; Kasman; PEW; UN Development Programme, 2000, 2004). Spending on health care is much higher as a portion of the GDP and per capita, by a factor of a third to two or more, than in any other developed democracy (UN Development Programme, 2000, 2004). The U.S. is therefore the least efficient western nation in terms of converting wealth into cultural and physical health. Understanding the reasons for this failure is urgent, and doing so requires considering the degree to which cause versus effect is responsible for the observed correlations between social conditions and religiosity versus secularism. It is therefore hoped that this initial look at a subject of pressing importance will inspire more extensive research on the subject. Pressing questions include the reasons, whether theistic or non-theistic, that the ...

Sibling Identity and relationships asks what it means to be a sister or brother, a relationship which has tended to be sidelined in foregrounding parental-child relations. It charts the emotional and social facets to their ongoing constructions, shifts and changes. The authors interestingly combine social constructionist and psychodynamic perspectives as a means of discussing complex, shared, emotions, such as sibling projective identification, connection and separation. Such emotions are seen to be shaped by and respond to varying social conditions and circumstances. In answering the question why siblings? the authors point to the significance of siblings for our sense of self, whether that self be constructed as similar to or vastly different from our sisters and brothers.. Each author positions herself by disciplinary background as well as by sibling status: in the rehearsal and displacement of oldest, middle and youngest child syndrome myths, many other readers may well consider ...

Sadly, WHO statistics show that 11 percent of children living in the world are born to teens aged 15-19 years. When we look at the study closely, we find that women who delivered a child before their 20th birthday mostly have grown up in lower-income families, under adverse social conditions and minimal education. On top of all these, bearing a child denies a woman of her education and career growth resulting in stress and financial crunches as well. Stress can have a toll on a persons overall well-being and needs to be controlled before it devastates the individual. Read more on ways to curb stress at www.firsteatright.com ...

The word History comes from the Greek word - historia, meaning knowledge acquired by investigation, it is the study of the human past; a chronological record of significant events (as affecting a nation or institution) often including an explanation of their causes.. Each February, we celebrate and take time out to acknowledge the contributions that individuals and organizations of the African Diaspora made not only to and within the United States of America but around the World. Black History Month is celebrated annually in the United States (US) and Canada in February and the United Kingdom in the month of October. Historian Carter G.

The environmental and social conditions that indigenous communities interact with the external environment are characterized by a constantly increasing degree of complexity. The interaction between different cultures can be considered a multifaceted process of negotiation. It is well acknowledged that the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for indigenous cultural preservation and revitalization can lead to several challenges. In this context, Indigenous Knowledge (IK) represents a critical resource that needs to be focused towards specific processes and governance activities. The early efforts in knowledge management were on technologies to store, capture, and distribute knowledge, while the focus at present has shifted to make explicit, the tacit knowledge, but the development is more conceptual than practical. This study focuses on exploring the patterns of Indigenous Knowledge Management (IKM) and the supporting of a governance system of communities. Based on generic ...
Does this search for a better lifestyle give them a better life? The environmental and social conditions they live in provide the status of living in Mumbai but have they in any way been uplifted to a better living standard? Are they more secure, or financially better off or healthier? Can these answers be affirmative? Ill share a story about the domestic-help working in my local community - a migrant from Rajasthan. When asked how secure he was in this city. He replied candidly, We have our own people staying together and if there is any need we rely on them. On being asked what he did with the money he earned and where did he save/deposit his savings, he replied I take all my savings back home and save there. Does this confirm that theyre secure and have a better life in villages? ...

at home, having one-to-one care and the local GP visiting if there was a problem. Indeed, since the continued medicalisation of childbirth we are constantly bombarded with the ever increasing numbers of assisted or operative births. Therefore, birth within a consultant led maternity unit is now the norm. There is little doubt that the challenges faced daily by those at the coalface are also increasing, and there are women with medical, physical and social conditions who require highly complex care that is now provided in maternity units. We need modern midwives to respond to this demand, and so far they do. It could be argued that we have lost sight of the basic skills midwives relied upon in the past.1 However, these skills have been replaced with an enormous range of new and equally important ones that suit childbirth in the 21st Century.. Despite several significant government reports, beginning with Changing Childbirth in 1993,2 looking at normalising birth and another led by Dame ...
