Brain reorganizes to make room for math

It takes years for children to master the ins and outs of arithmetic. New research indicates that this learning process triggers a large-scale reorganization of brain processes involved in understanding written symbols for various quantities.
According to this article, when adults work on math problems, they show activity in a part of the brain known to be associated with linking written symbols to the things they represent, like numerical values, words, and musical notes

A recent study conducted by researchers at Georgia State University is the first of its kind to demonstrate that administration of preemptive morphine prior to a painful procedure in infancy blocks the long-term negative consequences of pain in adult rodents. These studies have serious implications for the way anesthetics and analgesics are administered to neonates prior to surgery.
Genetic Differences That Cause Childhood Eye Disease

ScienceDaily (Nov. 3, 2008) — Medical researchers at the University of Alberta have unlocked part of the mystery underlying a childhood eye disease. New research shows how children with some types of glaucoma end up with missing or extra pieces of DNA.
The missing or extra bits of DNA are called copy number variations (CNVs). The U of A research team had previously shown how they play a major role in causing some types of pediatric glaucoma – a disease that can lead to blindness

Surgical interventions for many obese children suffering from obstructive sleep apnea may not cure the problem, says new research presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO in Chicago, IL. Obese children are at increased risk for developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep disorder that is associated with a decreased quality of life as well as behavioral, neurocognitive, cardiovascular, metabolic, endocrine, and psychiatric complications

There is a correlation between children's obesity rates and those of their mothers, finds a new study. Other factors linked to a child's tendency to become obese include too much time spent in front of the TV and rapidly piling on the pounds in early childhood.

Fifteen years of genetic sleuthing have finally paid off: Researchers have nailed the gene that appears to cause an inherited form of neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system that predominantly strikes children. Scientists are optimistic that the findings will allow them to develop disease screening for some families, as well as lead to potential new therapies.
High-Fat Diet Found to Fight Seizures in Kids
kavin submitted, created time 3 months 2 weeks (www.usnews.com)
A diet high in fat—extremely high in fat, that is—has just been shown in a clinical trial to cut seizure frequency in children with severe, drug-resistant epilepsy. It's not a cure, and it's not an easy treatment to stomach, but it works, British researchers reported Friday in the journal Lancet Neurology.
Dr. Atkins himself might have gagged on the therapeutic regimen, which is called the ketogenic diet. It's so fatty that carbohydrates and protein combined aren't permitted to account for more than twenty-five percent of total calories
Female physicians most effective at treating childhood asthma

Female physicians have a better perception of asthma symptoms in children than their male counterparts, according to Turkish researchers.
The finding could indicate significant contribution of gender-related factors in clinical attitudes and beliefs,Bulent Sekerel (Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey) and colleagues explain in the journal BMC Health Services Research.
Understanding the level of management ability of physicians may guide interventions to improve quality of care and patient outcomes,?the authors write
Lack of time on tummy shown to hinder achievement
sea-maid submitted, created time 3 months 3 weeks (www.eurekalert.org)
The American Physical Therapy Association is urging parents and caregivers to ensure that babies get enough "tummy time" throughout the day while they are awake and supervised, in light of a recent survey of therapists who say they've noticed an increase in motor delays in infants who spend too much time on their backs while awake.
Cheleation therapy and autism--is it worth the trouble?
Darkfrog submitted, created time 4 months 2 weeks (www.nature.com)
Cheleation therapy involves injecting the patient with dimercaptosuccinic acid or some other agent that can bind to metal ions. The bound ions are then eliminated by the body. Cheleation therapy is used, successfully, in heavy metal poisoning. Now people are pushing for its use with autistic children.
For years, the idea that vaccines cause autism has taken center stage. The rationale is that the mercury used as a preservative (or more specifically, that USED to be used as a preservative) was poisoning the children and interrupting their brain development
Rotavirus and rotavirus vaccines

So far so good for the new rotavirus vaccine. It has delayed the onset of the most recent season by three months, and the number of cases was the lowest since tracking of the infection began.
The rotavirus causes severe vomiting and diarrhea in infants and small children.
