If they have completed their primary four dose series, but have not had a dose within the last three years, they should be given a booster dose. Children younger than 6 months are at particular risk because even with vaccination, protection is incomplete. Since cases of pertussis have been on the rise and reported in teens and adults, because their immunity has faded since their original vaccination. Individuals should be noticed of a booster shot to prevent the further spread of pertussis, especially to infants who have greater complications to pertussis and can lead to their demise if not treated on
Caula Rogers Eng-105 English Composition 1 03/30/2014 Dr. Victoria Smith Impact of ADHD on a Child’s Schooling Children with ADHD generally have trouble in school, only because school causes many trials for children with ADHD. ADHD is not a learning disorder; however it can cause children to have problems with learning. Furthermore, children with ADHD have an excessive rate of learning disorders and will have problems with other school-work like calculation and following a long with his/her teacher during direct instructional time. But with enduring and an efficient plan, the child will be capable of succeeding in the classroom. ADHD negatively can affect a child’s social and emotional behavior and the ability to control them in a positive manner in a school environment.
Children of parents who had pyloric stenosis are more likely to have this condition. Pyloric stenosis occurs more often in boys than in girls, and is rare in children older than 6 months. Signs and symptoms include: vomiting (free of bile) which begins after the 14th day of life and become projectile vomiting. The forceful ejection of milk or formula up to several feet away within 30 minutes after the baby eats. Vomiting may be mild at first and gradually become more severe.
They try and try but their learning disability changes the way they learn and special lesson plans need to be tailored to accommodate their unique learning styles. There are warning signs to help determine if your child may have a learning disability but because learning disabilities look very different from one child to next there is no single symptom or profile to use to determine proof of a problem. During the preschool years students who have problems pronouncing words, rhyming, learning the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes or controlling crayons, pencils and scissors may have a higher likelihood of a learning disability. When they are in grades K-4 they may have trouble learning the connection between letters and sounds, confuse basic words when reading or consistently misspell words and makes frequent reading errors. When they are in grades 5-8 they might have trouble with open-ended
Abortion is the termination of the entire pregnancy yet selective reduction is performed to improve the survival rate of the remaining fetuses and also the mother. Selective reduction is performed early in the pregnancy, normally between weeks 9 and 12, it is most often performed when there are four or more fetuses present, can be used to reduce triplets to twins, and with a fetus with severe defects (www.webmd.com). Infants born part of a multiple pregnancy are at increased risk of prematurity, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, slow language development, behavioral difficulties, chronic lung disease, and death (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013). These risks play an important role in a mother’s decision to utilize selective reduction. Maternal risks of a multi-fetal pregnancy include hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013).
The abdomen may also become bloated and distended. Sores or ulcers within the intestinal tract are another complication. Deep ulcers can turn into fistulas that connect different parts of the intestine. Fistulas can tunnel into the surrounding areas such as the bladder, vagina, or skin. Proteins, calories, and vitamins are many times low for a patient with Crohn’s disease.
Nicotine exposure has been shown to increase risk for inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity (Massaro, Rothbaum & Aly, 2006). The more she smoked the greater of her baby's chances of developing these and other health problems. Marcus’s delivery was induced; he was passed his due date, once Tiffany’s water broke she was not in labor so In this case, she was induced to decrease the risk of infection to her uterus and her baby, which is more of a concern once the membranes have ruptured (Baby Center Medical Advisory Board, 2009). Marcus behaviors as a baby were a concern for Tiffany as Marcus would constant
These tissues include the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Gone unchecked, periodontal disease can result in tooth loss. Preterm birth and low birth weight is associated with risk for mortality in the first year of life, with developmental problems in childhood, and with risk of several diseases in adulthood (Scannapieco et al., 2003, P 71). About 75% of perinatal deaths occur in infants born prematurely, with the majority of deaths occurring in infants delivered before 32 weeks gestation. To reduce periodontal disease during pregnancy, women free access to treatment should be implemented; awareness of the health risks and mortality rates should be taken in consideration; and the government and dentists must inform the public about the outcomes of periodontal disease.
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA): Before birth, a large artery (ductus arteriosus) lets the blood bypass the lungs because the fetus gets its oxygen through the placenta. The ductus normally closes soon after birth so that blood can travel to the lungs and pick up oxygen. If it doesn’t close, the baby may develop heart failure. This problem occurs most frequently in premature babies. Treatment with medicine during the early days of life often can close the ductus.
Children with this disability tend to have more delay in development of academic, social, and adaptive skills particularly in learning to read and learn basic math skills. This often tends to lead to further delays in academic progress in other areas such as writing, spelling, and science, all of which require the knowledge of fundamental skills. Intellectual disabilities can be caused by any condition that impairs development of the brain before or during birth, or in childhood years. Two known causes are Down
