...gives kids an advantage over some rapidly growing cancers. Young hearts, lungs and kidneys, it seems, are fairly resilient and can be bombarded with higher doses of toxic drugs than most adults can tolerate. And better medications for handling the side effects and consequences of chemotherapy and radiation--severe nausea, vomiting, anemia and infections--help children respond better to intensive treatment...
...Coast. Many of those trailers have walls and cabinets made up of particleboard, which contains formaldehyde that can sometimes emit gas in hot, humid weather such as that found in Louisiana and Mississippi.

The headaches can last hours - sometimes days - and often come with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to sound and light, and, perhaps most strangely of all, distorted sensory perception, especially vision. Add to that a link with certain other blood conditions and neurological conditions, and it's no surprise that researchers are still perplexed about the headaches - or that patients seem to find treatment...
Somewhere between tension and cluster headaches are migraines. Typically, the pain from a migraine is a throbbing one, restricted to one side of the head, that gets worse with movement and lasts from four hours to three days. Migraines are usually accompanied by either nausea and vomiting, as they were for TV producer Schipper, or extreme sensitivity to both light and sound. By contrast, patients suffering from tension-type headaches may react badly to either light or sound but not both...
