Indianapolis -- Seven-year-old Jordan Randle made a big promise after visiting Give Kids A Smile for the first time during the national kickoff event Feb. 7 in Indianapolis.

Results from a NYU College of Dentistry study suggest how excess fluoride exposure affects the cells forming tooth enamel — possibly explaining how dental fluorosis arises.

Results from a University of Iowa College of Dentistry study suggest that mild and moderate dental fluorosis is generally less noticeable over time, validating the beliefs of some supporters of community water fluoridation that there have been overestimates of fluorosis prevalence made by anti-fluoridation activists.

Washington — The Office for Civil Rights released a statement April 3 warning of an individual posing as an OCR investigator. The imposter has been calling entities covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 in an attempt to get patient information.

Oil prices rose early Tuesday, after Monday declines, possibly helped by some positive news from China -- but doubts remain as to whether that direction will hold.

Poverty and poor or non-existent health insurance coverage might worsen the effects of heart failure, the American Heart Association said Thursday.

People with brain cancer are at increased risk for suicide compared to the general population, particularly within the first year following diagnosis, a new analysis has found.

OBJECTIVE

Screening for diabetes is typically done using hemoglobin A_1c (HbA_1c) or fasting plasma glucose (FPG). The 2019 Endocrine Society guidelines recommend further testing using an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in older adults with prediabetic HbA_1c or FPG. We evaluated the impact of this recommendation on diabetes prevalence, eligibility for glucose-lowering treatment, and estimated cost of implementation in a nationally representative sample.

OBJECTIVE

To compare the risk of lactic acidosis hospitalization between patients treated with metformin versus sulfonylureas following development of reduced kidney function.

OBJECTIVE

Preanalytical processing of blood samples can affect plasma glucose measurement because on-going glycolysis by cells prior to centrifugation can lower its concentration. In June 2017, ACT Pathology changed the processing of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) blood samples for pregnant women from a delayed to an early centrifugation protocol. The effect of this change on the rate of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosis was determined.

OBJECTIVE

Despite evidence of a relationship among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), metabolic dysregulation, and diabetes, it is uncertain whether OSA treatment can improve metabolic parameters. We sought to determine effects of long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on glycemic control and diabetes risk in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and OSA.

Dedicated to the lady at Walmart with the screaming kid and all of us "good parents" who have been that lady at Walmart.

One of the most difficult behaviors for parents or teachers to address is explosive behavior, a child who has little control over emotions and "melts down" in the classroom or at home.  It is frustrating, it is embarrassing, it is anxiety producing, it causes intense emotions in ourselves.  Parents agonize over why it happens or what they did wrong?  Often the parents are blamed or judged by bystanders in stores, family members, friends, or school staff.  However, I have seen parents with a variety of parenting styles have kids with poor emotional control, including those who are strict, those who are quick to give in, those who spank, those who use time out, those who take away privileges, and a whole lot of parents who feel like they have tried everything.  I know children with very little emotional control from homes that are falling apart, from homes that are loving and supportive, from poor families, from affluent families, from parents who have no clue how to parent, from parents with excellent skills, even from School Psychologists.  This is not to say that parenting styles do not have a role in this, but there IS more to it.  We have to stop judging each other and get to the root of the problem.  

What is the Root of the Problem?

The problem, the reason some children "explode" or act out with little emotional control, is because he or she is lacking a skill.  Emotional control is a skill.  Most kids will learn this skill through consistent discipline strategies, but some do not. 

Another way to look at it.

We don't tell our kids how to read and then expect them to do it.  We show them step by step.  Some kids will pick it up easy, others will need to be taught and retaught and retaught and will need extensive help in doing so.  Do we blame ourselves?  Do we look at our friends judgementally and think to ourselves "look at the book she is using, it's all wrong?"  No, we assume the child has a problem learning to read and we find a way to teach him.  WE HAVE TO START LOOKING AT BEHAVIOR IN THE SAME WAY.  When a child is exploding, the first step should not be to label the child or blame the parent.  Lets start looking for the skill that is lacking.  When we find that skill, lets teach it.

It's NOT always a control issue.  Sometimes kids act out because they have not been taught to obey and respect authority, but sometimes they act out in spite of good training at home.  The explosions lead to self esteem problems in the child and the child feeling like a "bad kid," which in turn makes explosions bigger and more frequent.  Have you ever looked at a screaming child and demanded he control himself right now or "act your age."  It's a common thing to do.  Have you ever looked at a child with a Learning Disability and said "read on your grade level, now!" or "I have told you and told you how to read, why aren't you reading?"  Of course you haven't.  We work with the reader at his level and patiently try different strategies to improve reading.  We can't demand them to be good readers and we can't demand that a child who does not have the skills to control his emotions "act his age."  These explosive kids need skills and truth be told, we who work with these kids need skills. 

If you are a parent with a child who acts "out of control" stop blaming yourself.  It isn't necessarily because you spanked or didn't spank or were too strict or too lenient.  Your child is lacking the skills she needs to control her emotions.  Also, realize you are going to need to learn new skills to help your child learn the lacking skills.  You are no longer in the Parenting 101 class, you need to move on to the Advanced skill- teaching parenting class. 

The BEST book I have read on this topic is The Explosive Child by Ross Greene.  He addresses the skills these children might be lacking and he has great strategies to address the issue. (see Amazon link below)

If you are a teacher and have an "explosive child" in your class, rethink your perspective of the student.  The child needs to learn skills, so lets focus on teaching the skills and being patient with the children who are slower to learn emotional control.  We as school staff can not make excuses or blame the parents.  We have to reach the child at her level.  We teach a child to read at her level.  We must teach a child to control emotions at her level as well. 

Challenge for Everyone
Let us stop labeling these kids with emotional skill deficits as "bad kids" and stop judging the parents.  Let's be honest with ourselves and recognize we all have shortcomings and could use skills in certain areas.  Maybe our kids need skills in emotional control, maybe we do, maybe we need skills in teaching emotional control, or maybe we need skills in some other area all together.  Let's be patient with our children and our peers and ourselves. Let's stop criticizing ourselves and others and start learning and teaching new skills.   We don't live in a world with bad kids, we live in a world will kids who need skills, so let's teach.

Mexicans migrate to Canada in much smaller numbers than to the United States, yet over the last 30 years the country has become an increasingly attractive destination. Canada prioritizes highly skilled, educated Mexicans for permanent residency, but also attracts temporary workers from Mexico. This article examines Mexican migration to Canada and how it has been shaped by visa requirements, trade policy, and more.

You could be forgiven for thinking the television images in the experiment were from 2006. They were really from 1982: Israeli forces were clashing with Arab militants in Lebanon. The world was watching, charges were flying, and the air was thick with grievance, hurt and outrage.

Long before word recently broke that white referees in the National Basketball Association were calling fouls at a higher rate on black athletes than on white athletes, and long before studies found racial disparities in how black and white applicants get called for job interviews, researchers no...

"Researchers of DETCRC 3.1 project acquired substantial experience in seismic exploration of Nickel deposits across Yilgarn craton, Western Australia. There are many lessons learnt and various approaches trialled. The validity of the research conducted and the outputs achieved were verified against real field data provided by the sponsors and affiliates to DET CRC. Research quality was scrutinised by publishing in high level journals. In general high quality images are achieved over nickel rich Kambalda province that allowed for an accurate structural interpretation. Rock identification and characterisation is still challenging particularly due to lack of calibration of seismic images with borehole logs and borehole seismic. Several case histories are documented and briefly analysed. The difference between Komatiitic nickel deposit of Australia and Canada is also commented in light of seismic response and required technology for its detection" -- Executive summary.

"This document is intended to summarise the current state, understanding and the use of seismic reflection method for mineral exploration. Its primary objective is to provide a point of reference, based on actual case studies, for mineral explorers interested in the application of seismic methods to their project. It provides summary information (including the purpose of the survey, acquisition methods, geometry and cost, processing procedures and key findings) that are intended to provide the reader with an objective means of assessing the cost effectiveness of the technique with respect to exploration objectives. It is also aimed at exchange of information between DETCRC sponsors, affiliates and researchers. Finally we hope that this table will help in shaping future research efforts and direction within Project 3.1, regarding the application of seismic for mineral exploration.This is only initial work and it is hoped that it will evolve into a document or a catalogue that will be extensively used by the mineral industry to achieve their exploration objectives in more efficient and effective way" -- Executive summary.
