Reviews on the occurrence, biochemical basis, and treatment of lead toxicity in children (11) and workers (3,12,13) have been pubhshed. Approximately 17% of all preschool children in the United States have blood lead levels >10 //g/dL. In inner city, low income minority children the prevalence of blood lead levels >10 //g/dL is 68%. It has been estimated that over two million American workers are at risk of exposure to lead as a result of their work. PubHc health surveillance data document that each year thousands of American workers occupationally exposed to lead develop signs and symptoms indicative of... [Pg.77]

Garnishes also produce slight infusions, the basic twist being die best example. Dale DeGroff, in The Craft of the Cocktail, devotes more than a page to the technique of the basic citrus twist. I had a knife taken away from me at a party I gave recentiy by a guest who lost patience with my preschool efforts to carve a piece of lemon for his cocktail. People care. [Pg.186]

The treatment of bacterial infections of the central nervous system highlights a number of important therapeutic considerations. Bacterial meningitis is caused by a variety of bacteria although their incidence varies with age. In the neonate, E. coli and group B streptococci account for the majority of infections, while in the preschool child H. influenzae is the commonest pathogen. Neisseria meningitidis has a... [Pg.144]

Table I indicates the sample size and population estimates of preschoolers by study area and stratum. Though all strata for the Dixie site are shown, at the Dixie site the configuration and location of the major traffic artery in relation to the smelter site did not allow analysis of the contribution of vehicular traffic to soil lead. The contribution of the smelter to soil lead levels was possible at the RSR site and the reference site.

The observations of fine motor problems in infants born to heroin addicts has also been described by Wilson et al., in 1973. She notes the discrepancy between the gross motor skills of the infants and fine motor abilities during the first year. Furthermore, in 1979, Wilson et al, described the development of preschool children between 3 and 6 years of age, born to heroin-addicted mothers. They performed poorer on measures of visual, tactile, and auditory perception, were more active, and had... [Pg.261]

In chronic asthma, classification of asthma severity is based on daytime and nighttime symptoms, physical activity, lung function (PEF or FEVfi, PEF variability, and reliever medication use. Because lung function is difficult to measure in preschool children (children 5 years of age or younger), it cannot be used to classify disease severity in this age group. Chronic asthma is classified as mild intermittent asthma, or mild, moderate or severe persistent asthma (Table 11-1). [Pg.213]

Presence of middle ear effusion in the absence of symptoms is not an indicator of treatment failure. Children who complete therapy and are otherwise healthy should be reevaluated after 3 months for the presence of effusion that requires a hearing evaluation. Preschool-aged and younger children may need reexamination 3 to 6 weeks after therapy because speech and hearing impairment is more difficult to assess in this age group. [Pg.1067]
