The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has found a link between the use of aspirin in children who have the flu or chickenpox and Reye’s syndrome, a serious (and sometimes fatal) illness....

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – High-powered magnets are small, shiny magnets made from powerful rare earth metals. Since they started showing up in children’s toys in the early 2000s and then later in desk sets in 2009, high-powered magnets have caused thousands of injuries and are considered to be among the most dangerous ingestion hazards in children. When more than one is swallowed, these high-powered magnets attract to each other across tissue, cutting off blood supply to the bowel and causing obstructions, tissue necrosis, sepsis and even death....

Injuries in athletics are very common in young athletes and often occur as a result of poor return to play decisions. Mild injuries may not require any lost time in practices or games. Severe injuries can be season or career ending. The decision of when to return to sports/physical activity can be tricky at best. Pain is not always the best indicator. Many injuries feel better before they are completely healed leaving the body vulnerable to re-injury....

Your baby’s bottle flow rate is the rate at which human milk or infant formula moves from the bottle nipple into an infant’s mouth. The bottle flow rate is important because if it is too slow your baby may work too hard to get milk. If the flow rate is too fast, they may have a hard time with the faster flow. Most bottle brand companies give a flow rate name on the nipple, such as, ‘preemie,’ ‘slow,’ ‘medium’ or ‘fast....

E-cigarettes, e-hookahs, vape pens, and similar electronic nicotine delivery systems have become increasingly popular in the last several years. As the household presence of e-cigarettes and liquid nicotine has increased, so have exposures among young children. Just a small amount of liquid nicotine can be deadly to a child. Poisoning can happen in two ways: when the liquid is swallowed or when it is absorbed through the skin. Children exposed to liquid nicotine are more than five times more likely to be admitted to the hospital and two-and-one-half times more likely to have a severe medical outcome than children exposed to traditional cigarettes....

While gene therapy techniques continue to develop and show promise for successful application in humans, emphasis is equally being put on early intervention.
