Shingles is an infection caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has had chickenpox, the virus stays dormant (sleeping) in the nerves of the body.

If you had chickenpox or the chicken pox vaccine, you are not at risk of catching shingles from someone else....

Iron deficiency anemia (EYE-urn di-FISH-un-see ah-NEE-me-ah) means there is not enough iron in the red blood cells. Our bodies do not make iron. We get it from the foods we eat. Iron is important because it helps build red blood cells. Red blood cells deliver oxygen throughout the body so we grow, think and function normally. An anemic child gets tired easily, looks pale, has a poor appetite and may have headaches....
Your child has had an appendectomy (a-pen-DECK-tuh-mee). This is the surgical removal of the appendix. The appendix is a small, narrow sac at the beginning of the large intestine (Picture 1).

Through one incision, the surgeon put in a thin tube with a camera attached (laparoscopic)....

As students settle back into their desks for another school year, parents, school nurses and pediatricians respond to increased complaints of stomach pain. Many of these seasonal belly-aches are dismissed as nothing more than a case of the back-to-school blues. However, in many instances the pain kids feel is the result of a complicated and often misdiagnosed medical condition that researchers at Nationwide Childrens Hospital now believe could be helped with the use of medications typically used to treat depression....
