Vitamin D keeps our bodies healthy and builds strong bones. It does this by helping the body absorb calcium and phosphorous from foods and supplements. Vitamin D may also protect us from heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, infections and immune system problems, some types of cancer (colon, breast, and prostate) and multiple sclerosis (MS). If your child has a vitamin D deficiency it means they do not have enough vitamin D in their body....
Researchers identified the mechanism behind the anti-biofilm properties of a protein found in all vertebrates. Too little of this protein allows disease-causing bacteria protected by biofilms to spread, while too much can lead to septic shock. Could a molecule of this protein be engineered to destroy biofilms without negative effects on the body? (COLUMBUS, Ohio) - A team of researchers in the Center for Microbial Pathogenesis in the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital recently characterized the anti-biofilm properties of HMGB1, a protein innate to eukaryotes and the immune systems of vertebrates, engineered modified molecules of the protein, and tested a therapeutic cocktail consisting of those molecules and antibodies that remove DNABII, a bacterial-DNA-binding protein....

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the following immunization schedule for youth ages 18 and younger....

Allergic rhinitis (rie NIE tis) is a condition that occurs when the body (the immune system) overreacts to something in the environment (triggers) that most people have no problem with. When the symptoms occur in late summer or early fall, some people call it hayfever. Unlike what the name suggests, a child does not need to be near hay to have symptoms. Nor will the child have a fever. There are two main types of allergic rhinitis: seasonal (occurs certain times of the year) and perennial (happens all year)....

Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I had no choice but to become a raging Pittsburgh Steelers fan. So when I had the chance to work with Jerome Bettis, former running back for the Steelers and future Hall of Famer, during an Asthma Sports Camp a few years ago, it was a dream come true. I not only admire Jerome for his accomplishments on the football field, but even more so as he did it despite having severe asthma....

Each child’s healthcare needs are unique. Luckily, most children are in good health and only need health care for check-ups or if they are hurt. Some children, however, have health conditions that cause them to need more health care than the average child their age. These children with special health care needs (CSHCN) have physical, behavioral or emotional conditions that are expected to last for an extended period of time and that require special treatment, therapy, or medication....

Gail Besner, MD, principal investigator in the Center for Perinatal Research in The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, has been awarded a 4-year R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue her work on heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Dr. Besner, who holds the John E. Fisher Endowed Chair in Neonatal Research and is a Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, initially discovered HB-EGF in laboratory experiments with human white blood cells, and it was later found to be a member of the epidermal growth factor family of growth factors....
