Children should not eat too many sweets:

Thursday, January 19, 2012
Eating many sweets can lead to eye disease in children. Sugar metabolism generates acidic products, as destruction of calcium and chromium (highly alkaline). The lack of this substance increases the pressure inside of the lens, changing the light refraction of the eye, causing eye more susceptible to myopia.

In addition, the following reasons also increases diseases of the eye:

- limited vision :

Eye of students in urban vision is always limited by the city has many obstacles, hard-looking eyes adjust to near and far.

Gradually adjust the capacity of the eye and eye degenerative only familiar look close, leading to myopia. For city children exposed to natural large eyes adjust to near and far is the prevention of eye diseases as well.

- Lack of sleep :

Due to lack of sleep, the eyes have to work, not relax it gradually reduced capacity to adjust, easily lead to myopia. Make sure to sleep 8-10 hours a day, reducing the intensity of learning and ensuring other conditions (tables, chairs, posture, lighting ...).

- Noise :

The noise levels greater than 90 db, the sensitivity of retinal rod cells of the eye down, the eyes take longer to distinguish brightness.

As the sound up to 95 db, 40% of cases of dilated pupils. When the noise level is 115 db, the ability to adapt to the light intensity decreased 20%, the ability to distinguish color reduction.

- Inhalation of tobacco smoke : The tobacco dicyanogen CN2, if the accumulation in the body will cause poison, clearly affected the operation of the eye.

Deaf adversely affect the development of young

Listening skills help children develop harmoniously:

The vast majority of children with severe hearing loss tend to be shuffled to go. Meanwhile, ordinary people ask to hear his footsteps should generate conscious step easier.

Advocacy, children normally sit from 7 months, walking at 12-15 months, from two to two and a half ... then all bedwetting, but they are deaf often grow more slowly than the landmark .

Intelligence also clear differences between the two groups. Children with hearing loss often less memory.

Using iris cells to treat retinal

Tuesday, December 6, 2011
The retina contains cells extremely sensitive to light:

The cells in the iris (iris) can be genetically modified to form the retinal cells. This achievement opens to seek new materials to repair damaged retinas - the cause of many diseases of vision.

Stimulated a gene from mouse cells in the iris. Result, these cells were self-forming properties identical to the retinal cells (extreme sensitivity to light).

"We have implanted the modified cells in vitro gene in the mouse retina. After a few days, blind mice reacted to light."

The scientists said that in the future, with the help of this method, they will withdraw some cells from the iris to feed patients and transplanted into the retina. However, they still have to wait 1-2 years to eliminate the side effects that may occur during transplantation.

Saturday, November 26, 2011
The health professionals has released new guidelines, a more detailed description of antipyretic doses corresponding to the child's age, after a recent survey found 27% of newborns with paracetamol overdose.

Who led the study, said parents and doctors were "overconfident" when inventory paracetamol for children.

However, in the journal British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology of recent, he added that it is difficult to know exactly how much a child needs medication, and it depends on age and weight.

With this new guidance (expected to apply in the UK later this year), it will split the age group of children to prevent drug abuse. For example, children 6-12 years old are now the same group, taken from 5 to 10 ml each time, using up to four times a day, but the new guidelines, children will be divided into three groups, a two-year-old one level, with increasing number of drugs.

In addition, drug formulations for children at different ages and different. Specifically:

Formulation Age Dose

Suspension infant paracetamol

(120mg/5ml) 3-6 months 2.5 ml

6-24 months 5 ml

2-4 years 7.5 ml

4-6 years 10 ml

Suspension than paracetamol for children 6 years of age (240mg/5ml) 6-8 years 5 ml

8-10 years 7.5 ml

10 -12 years old 10 ml

Paracetamol is antipyretic, analgesic familiar to most of the parents for children.

"This change to ensure children receive the maximum dose of paracetamol priority, consistent with age. And because it very clearly divided doses, so parents will be easier to calculate the amount with their children. "
