...Such research is in its infancy, though, and if you have a child with ADHD, it's important to understand that he processes the world in a different way. He might be (literally) running circles around you, but that may be his way of paying attention...
...those lessons is that the Arctic ecosystems are unusually vulnerable to oil spills, according to long-term research funded by some of the $1 billion settlement from Exxon. Scientists found that, thanks in part to the cold environment, oil lingered in the area for years, some of it still biologically active and toxic. Because many Arctic species have long lifespans and slow reproductive cycles, wildlife recovery has been slow. Pacific herring - a keystone of both the commercial fishing industry and the marine food web in Prince William Sound - were spawning at the time of the spill, and were hit particularly...
...perhaps. But it does highlight the need for future research. While the study does not establish a direct link between anesthesia and learning disabilities, it doesn't rule one out. The babies who underwent surgery in the Mayo study were treated for a wide range of conditions, few of which were brain-related. By far, the most common procedure performed on the infants involved the insertion of tubes in the ears to remove fluid to prevent hearing loss and potential delays in speech and language skills; 26% of the babies undergoing surgery fell into this category. One-quarter...
...experts are not willing to say that babies should never be given anesthesia. "We don't want to delay surgery or withhold surgery for the kids who need it," says Dr. Sulpicio Soriano, an anesthesiologist at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital in Boston. "But we need more research and clinical investigation to find new drugs and new combinations of drugs that can attenuate or mitigate the cognitive effects...
...Many advocates and academics argue that juveniles are not being given enough of a chance to turn their lives around after committing minor offenses. And officials at both the state and federal levels seem to be getting the message. Last summer, after reviewing a large swath of research literature, the Department of Justice concluded that "to best achieve reduction in recidivism, the overall number of juvenile offenders transferred to the criminal-justice system should be minimized." That came three years after the U.S. stopped executing minors, following a Supreme Court decision, Roper v. Simmons, that was largely based...
