In What Ways Are Childhood Schizophrenia and Autism Different, I think the
2008-06-09 05:23:00 newsRare, spontaneous mutations rife in schizophrenia casesMichele Solis 5 Jun 2008 2:15 PM Unlucky breaks: De novo mutations can account for schizophrenia in families with no prior history of the disease.Rare, spontaneous mutations could account for at least 10 percent of cases of schizophrenia, according a study published online last week1.These mutations are deletions or duplications of DNA segments, dubbed copy number variations (CNVs).Although submicroscopic in stature, CNVs have for the past two years been implicated in neurological disorders such as autism and schizophrenia in one high-profile publication after another.Since discovering a schizophrenia-related deletion in chromosome 22q11 more than a decade ago2, Maria Karayiorgou, professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center, suspected other CNVs could also play a role in schizophrenia, but detecting them was tricky.“It was not until very recently that we had the technology to actually look genome-wide fo...
Childhood obesity are we taking this problem seriously?
2008-06-06 14:05:00 Childhood obesity is either a major problem or is already under control according to which report you read according to a recent report in Scotland one in five boys and one in ten girls in Scotland are obese. But this is just the tip of the iceberg this same report also states that by 2020 the figure is anticipated to have increased to 50% or more which is likely to put a massive strain on health services in the future. Medical experts blame the sedentary and almost couch potato like existence of children today who get little exercise in the home environment and most only exercise at school.
Childhood Obesity
2008-06-03 03:26:00 Childhood obesity, a serious problem in the United States for the last 25 years, may have hit its peak. A report published in the May 28 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that the epidemic may have leveled off during the past eight years. Researchers say that the number of overweight children is still three times what it was back when I was a kid though (in the 1960s and 70s). This is interesting for a few reasons. It could mean that a certain percentage of the population of US children is simply immune to obesity. That’s one of my extremely non-scientific guesses, and was not suggested by any of the research. Researchers didn’t draw any conclusions from the data, but there will no doubt be much study. Is it possible that a segment of US citizens just eat right and exercise and teach their children to do the same? What are your thoughts?

As usual he was wearing his lucky blue shirt "may be he wears for fear of envy !!???" and was speaking with all enthusiasm about our wars with Israel;the TV show was during the celebrations of Sinai Liberation and its title was about Youth and Liberation ..so it was natural thing to find young Gamal Mubarak who crossed the 40 years old and did not serve his military service for some mysterious reasons speaking about the wars !!

Childhood Hero Day June 13th
2008-05-16 09:16:00 Image via WikipediaMegan at Imaginif is promoting Childhood Hero Day on June 13th.As the website explains:Every child needs a hero. Heroes don?t need superpowers. Heroes are adults who can help children to understand and feel safe in a rapidly changing world. In a time when children are feeling uncertain about their future, heroes give children confidence, share their worries and celebrate their successes. Heroes help children work out their relationships, understand what is happening to them as they grow and develop and share time with them.Heroes play a pivotal role in the lives of children. In the increasingly hectic pace of life and with the pressures of work, it can be easy to lose sight of the heroes children need us to be for them. Children need adults to care for them, be interested in their lives and keep them safe. Childhood heroes make a profound and lasting difference for children throughout their entire lives. Ryan wore a Spiderman outfit almost every day for over a yea...

Barack Obama's Muslim Childhood
2008-04-29 14:53:00 A great article from Daniel Pipes at Frontpagemag:As Barack Obama's candidacy comes under increasing scrutiny, his account of his religious upbringing deserves careful attention for what it tells us about the candidate's integrity.Obama asserted in December, "I've always been a Christian," and he has adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. "The only connection I've had to Islam is that my grandfather on my father's side came from that country [Kenya]. But I've never practiced Islam." In February, he claimed: "I have never been a Muslim. ? other than my name and the fact that I lived in a populous Muslim country for 4 years when I was a child [Indonesia, 1967-71] I have very little connection to the Islamic religion.""Always" and "never" leave little room for equivocation. But many biographical facts, culled mainly from the American press, suggest that, when growing up, the Democratic candidate for president both saw himself and was seen as a Muslim.Obama's Kenyan birth fa...

Reform the childhood vaccination schedule
2008-04-07 05:01:00 Reform the childhood vaccination scheduleAnne Hart | Saturday, April 5, 2008 at 11:30 pm Columnist Anne Hart writes it's time to take a hard look at the aggressive schedule on which immunizations are given.Mention the possibility of a link between autism and vaccines to a mainstream doctor and expect some eye rolls.Or ridicule. Or, in some cases, downright contempt.The mainstream medical establishment continuously rejects any correlation between childhood vaccinations and autism, a disorder that affects one in 150 children in the United States.But that rejection isn't silencing valiant and vocal parents pushing for safer vaccines and a less aggressive immunization schedule after their children were diagnosed with autism.Sam and Kim Spencer of Savannah are among those parents. The Spencers are not anti-vaccine. Nor do they believe vaccines are the sole cause of autism in their 7-year-old son, Patrick.The Spencers believe Patrick was born with a predisposition for autoimmune issues....

Because we didn’t grow up together. Things like the fact that she played soccer, although she doesn’t have any soccer trophies to my knowledge, or the fact that I was a piano player since first grade. Then again, we’ve been friends for 20 years now, and frankly, you know you’re friends for 20 years when you throw up and your friend doesn’t even flinch at it any more. Gross example, but you get my drift. This post was created by Charity @ Gothic Peach. Childhood Memories

CHILDHOOD OBESITY STUDY HELPS YOUNGSTERS
2008-04-06 15:02:00 Children at an Exeter school are feeling happier and healthier after researchers working on a project to tackle childhood obesity helped them change the way they live.Instead of watching TV or playing video games and snacking on fizzy drinks or sweets, pupils at Whipton Barton now join in sports and eat fruit. The success of the project, by a team from the Peninsula Medical School, means it might be copied in hundreds of other schools across the UK.Researchers have spent two years working in schools in the city to develop resources for teachers to help convince children to be healthier. Children at Whipton Barton took part in rugby sessions with the Exeter Chiefs and drama and dancing sessions to help them understand the benefits of eating properly. Jenny Lloyd, in charge of the project, ran events for mums and dads to explain what the children were being taught. "We hope to get funding from the Government and the British Heart Foundation to go into more Exeter and Plymouth sc...
