Friday, October 30th, 2009

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a  common disorder in America.  In fact, about 764,000 U.S. citizens show symptoms of CP including children and adults.  About 8,000 babies are diagnosed with CP each year.

There are many factors that can lead to CP including premature birth, low birth weight, inability of the placenta to provide sufficient nutrients and oxygen, blood type incompatibility between mother and baby, getting infected while being pregnant, bacterial infection, a long period of time during delivery that the baby is unable to get oxygen, and jaundice after birth.

Chinese facing effects of pollution and birth defects

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

After years of neglect, the Chinese government has begun a crackdown against environmental crimes causing pollution-related health problems by closing the Huaqiang battery plant in Longyan after more than 120 children were found to have high levels of lead in their blood.

In China, the birth defect rate has almost doubled in the past decade as a result of pollution. This rise in pollution has caused extra fingers and toes, cleft lips, and congenital heart disease.

In Beijing alone, the rate was 170 per 10,000 births last year, a number significantly higher than the global average. Also, a 2007 World Bank study reports that 460,000 Chinese have died from water and air pollution, and the cancer rate has jumped by 19 percent in cities and 23 percent in rural areas in recent years.

Until recently, local authorities have tried to avoid taking any step against polluters by prosecuting those who complained about the pollution.

However, public opinion has become increasingly angry and vocal about the problem; last year’s melamine milk scandal where more than 300,000 children suffered kidney problems from drinking tainted milk has contributed to this outrage.

First Child Death in Maryland from H1N1 Virus

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Three children died from the seasonal flu in Maryland last year.  The first child death from the H1N1 virus has recently occurred in the state.  The H1N1 virus, better known as the swine flu, has rapidly increased, but that is not the biggest concern of Maryland citizens. 

Instead, the biggest concern is that children are more susceptible to the flu than adults since many experts agree that adults have been exposed to the virus previously.

Officials have not released any information about the deceased child.  It is known that the child had an underlying health problem. Of the 49 children have died nationally from the flu, the majority of them having underlying health problems according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Frances Phillips is Marlyand’s deputy secretary for public health services and said, “This is a tragic occurrence and it is one that other states have experienced with this H1N1 virus.  Because of the way the H1N1 virus disproportionally affects children, tragically, some children—even healthy children—can become ill very quickly.”
