Child Health ALERT Volume 14 A Survey of Current Developments Affecting Child Health Care April 1996 When Is An Asthma Inhaler Empty? One of the major advances in treating asthma in children has been the development of metered-dose inhaler, devices which deliver a specific dose of asthma medication each time the child activates the inhaler. However, inhaler canisters contain a certain number of doses; if the child uses the inhaler more than the number of times listed on the product, the canister may still "work", but the dose of medication that is dispensed may vary. Researchers found that most adult asthmatics they surveyed did not know how many doses their inhaler contained. When they were asked how they knew it was time to replace their inhaler, about three-quarters said they would make their judgements by shaking the inhaler, or by noticing changes in the pressure of the "puff', the taste, or similar means. One approach, recommended by some manufacturers, is to float the canister in water to estimate how much medication is left. While 8% of patients used this technique, the authors found it was not a reliable way to determine whether an inhaler has run out of medication.

The Open Mind March 2003 Article " Alzheimer’s: The Caregivers Journey" Taking care of someone with Alzheimer's Disease can be a demanding task. It requires time and energy. Looking after someone you love can be difficult, but it is essential that you look after yourself. The following are some suggestions to help you maintain your health and well being. Learn about the disease and giving care then pass it on Knowing as much as you can about the disease and care strategies will prepare you for the Alzheimer journey. Understanding how the disease affects the individual will help you to stay connected to the person and adapt to the changes. Sharing this information with family and friends will enable them to understand what is happening and better prepare them to provide you with the help and support you need. Be realistic...about the disease It is important, though difficult, to be realistic about Alzheimer Disease and its effects. It is a progressive: gradually the person you are caring for will get worse. If you are realistic, it will be easier for you to accept the changes which may occur. Be realistic about yourself It is important to realize that caring for someone takes time and energy. There will be limits to what you can do. You will have to decide what is most important to you. What do you value most? A walk with the person you are caring for, time by yourself or a tidy house? There is no "right" answer; only you know what matters most to you at any particular time. Besides making choices, you will have to set limits on what you can do in a day. It may be difficult to admit you can’t do everything. It is not easy to say "no." Be realistic and think carefully about how much you can do and where you need help.

The National Craniofacial Association P. O. Box 11082 * Chattanooga, TN 37401 Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome What is Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome? Velocardiofacial Syndrome, also known as VCFS or as Shprintzen Syndrome, is the most common syndrome associated with cleft palate. Approximately 1 in 2,000-5,000 children are born with VCFS. Characteristics include: a long face with a prominent upper jaw flattening of the cheeks an underdeveloped lower jaw a bluish color below the eyes a prominent nose with narrow nasal passages a long thin upper lip and a down-slanting mouth cleft palate or submucous cleft palate Why did this happen? Velocardiofacial Syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition. Genetic studies of children with this condition show that a microscopic segment on the long arm of chromosome 22 is missing. The genetic test for diagnosis of this condition is called "FISH analysis" and can be performed in many medical centers. It is not because of anything the mother did or did not do during the pregnancy. Will this happen to children I have in the future?

This story was printed from FindArticles.com, located at http://www.findarticles.com Social Research Spring, 2000 Consistency and Individual Differences in Facial Attractiveness Judgements: An Evolutionary Perspective. Author/s: Ian Penton-Voak Introduction In fact, evolutionary biologists studying the sexual behavior of other species provide a framework suggesting that individual differences in human attractiveness judgements may have parallels with the behavioral variation shown by other species. While individuals appear to share basic criteria of facial attractiveness, humans may learn the "fine grain" of the faces they find attractive in an analogous way to the learning or imprinting experiences of some other animals early in their lifetime. Furthermore, individuals may adopt different reproductive strategies as a result of life history factorsthese differing strategies may lead to adaptive preferences for different face types. In this paper, we briefly review "structuralist" facial attractiveness research from an evolutionary perspective, before moving on to individual differences in the perception of attractiveness. We then speculate as to how such differences may derive from learning and life history factors. Structuralist Approaches to Facial Attractiveness While both males and females claim in self-report that physical attractiveness is not of primary importance when choosing a partner (Buss, 1989), the single best predictor of satisfaction with a "blind date" is facial attractiveness for both men and women (Walster et al., 1966). Given the apparent importance of the face in mate choice decisions, and the centrality of mate choice theories to evolutionary explanations of behavior, sexual selection may have acted on human facial characteristics. Many researchers have searched for evidence that the characteristics of attractive faces are as much biological as cultural.

Gender and Status Differences in Facial Expressions of Emotion Early theories held that gender differences in NVB reflect status differences, with women's NVB reflecting their submissive position in our culture. Recently, however, researchers have begun to question this explanation. Data from our lab suggest that men and women must learn to use different NVB's because of the different demands of their social networks.
