A simple blood test may help detect serious bacterial infections (SBIs) like urinary tract infections and blood stream infections in young infants who come to the emergency department (ED) with fevers that have no clear cause. Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston, collaborating with investigators at George Washington University, show that a new diagnostic marker called procalcitonin can help identify infants at high risk for SBIs while potentially reducing unnecessary and aggressive testing, medication and hospitalization in low risk infants.

Children's Hospital Boston is home to the world's largest research enterprise based at a pediatric medical center, where its discoveries have benefited both children and adults since 1869. More than 500 scientists, including eight members of the National Academy of Sciences, 11 members of the Institute of Medicine and 12 members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute comprise Children's research community. Founded as a 20-bed hospital for children, Children's Hospital Boston today is a 397-bed comprehensive center for pediatric and adolescent health care grounded in the values of excellence in patient care and sensitivity to the complex needs and diversity of children and families. Children's also is the primary pediatric teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. For more information about the hospital and its research visit:www.childrenshospital.org/newsroom.
Want to protect your unborn kids from getting asthma and allergies? You might want to add fish and apples to your diet.
Researchers in Scotland and the Netherlands have discovered that apples might have an effect on asthma in kids aged 5 and that fish might have an effect on the risk of eczema in children.
This isn't the first study involving the same group of children. Earlier studies suggested that mothers who had more vitamin E, vitamin D and zinc while pregnant might also lower the risk of asthma, allergies and eczema.
Brainwave entrainment can treat ADD
1999--Thomas Budzynski, Ph.D worked with 8 struggling college students. After undergoing audio-visual brainwave stimulation, the students outperformed a control group & significantly increased their GPA. In a separate study, Psychologist Michael Joyce used brainwave entrainment with 30 children. After a short period of treatment, he observed improvements in reading and a half year advancement in grade level. Additionally, substantial improvements in attention, reaction and a reduction in impulsivity and variability was noted. Harold Russel Ph.D. and John Carter, Ph.D., of the University of Houston, did several studies in which they used brainwave entrainment to treat ADD and other learning disorders, testing IQ before and after treatment. Astonishingly, after treatment the subjects showed a consistent 5 to 7 point increase in IQ score!
Brainwave Entrainment's usefulness is not limited to relaxation and enhancing academic performance. It can also be used for reducing headaches, insomnia, ADD, fibromyalgia, stress and even enhancing athletic performance. Refer to the Benefits section for more information.

Applied Psychology -Using same principles of brain stimulation, applied differently, the NeuroProgrammer is able to make the mind more receptive to Psychological intervention. NP2 can guide your mind to a relaxed, receptive mental state, increasing the success rate of Suggestions and enhancing the lucidity of mental imagery. While in the receptive state created by NP2 , bypassing mental and emotional barriers are less difficult. This is what we call self-programming, and the effects of using it are dramatic. Music Can Treat Common Ailments-- OUR CHILDREN DIGG MUSIC
Dr. Thompson also uses this technique for treating medical ailments, including using music to heal children suffering from attention-deficit disorder (ADD). "With ADD, kids are stuck in theta. When they try to externally focus, which is done in beta, they can't get there," he says.
Dr. Thompson helps these children find their way to beta by matching where the brain is stuck and gradually drawing the brain out of it. Even people without specific medical problems can benefit from brainwave entrainment — specifically in the delta frequency, where the deepest state of sleep takes place. "Healing is basically what sleep is all about," he says. "When you go to sleep, the brain runs a series of programs to tune up for the next day."
