I came across an article on that was both surprising and appalling.

According to the article, more than 10,000 infants or pre-school aged children are diagnosed with cerebral palsy each year. Of these, approximately 20 percent were due to medical negligence or malpractice. That means that with better care from hospitals, doctors and staff, 2,000 children who are now afflicted with cerebral palsy and diagnosed this year, could be living normal, healthy lives.
 
The article lists the following symptoms of cerebral palsy:
– Muscle tightness and spasticity
– Involuntary movements
– Gait disturbances
– Difficulty swallowing
– Impairment of sight, hearing or speech
– Seizures
– Breathing problems
– Bladder and bowel control problems
– Skin disorders
– Learning disabilities
 
It is heartbreaking to think that thousands of parents must watch their children suffer through this handicap knowing that it could have been prevented. Legal action can help lessen the financial burden, but it cannot make up for the damage done by negligent medical staff.
 
Other causes of cerebral palsy include injury to the child’s head and drug or alcohol use by or physical abuse of the pregnant mother.

If you have been affected by cerebral palsy, visit www.cerebralpalsy.org <http://www.cerebralpalsy.org> to find a support group near you, as well as more information on how to fight back.

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.

A study has been published in Environmental Health that links exposure to tetrachloroethylene to birth defects.  The chemical is also known as perchlorethylene (PCE)and is used as a solvent in drinking water occasionally.

The study looked at eight towns in the Cape Cod Massachusetts area from 1969 to 1983.  The water pipes in that area were coated with a vinyl that contained the PCE.  The study found an increased risk of oral clefts and neural tube defects in children.  There were 1,658 children born in that span; 61 had congenital anomalies.

Ann Aschengrau is a study researcher from the Boston University School of Public Health.  She said, “The results suggest that the risk of certain congenital anomalies is increased among the offspring of women who were exposed to PCE-contaminated drinking water around the time of conception.”
