What causes the damage in shaken baby syndrome?

User Avatar

Asked by GaleEncyofNeuroDis

The cause of the brain, neck, and spine damage that can result from shaken baby syndrome is brute force. The violent shaking of a baby by a much stronger adult conveys a tremendous amount of energy to the infant.

If one parent is o positive and the other is a positive what will the child's be?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The question is incomplete. The blood type, (or ABO group), for only one parent is there. Positive refers to the presence of an antigen for the Rh group . The child will therefore be Rh positive since both parents are Rh positive. One parent's blood type is O. The other parent can have O, A, B, or AB as a bloodgroup. Without knowing both parents blood groups, and not just the Rh status, there is no way of knowing the bloodtype of the child.

Is there a recommended limit of pitches thrown per game for a 12 year old?

User Avatar

Asked by Chriskoutures

In efforts to reduce arm injuries from too much throwing, sports medicine experts in conjunction with USA Baseball have developed pitch count limits for young throwers based on age. For a 12 year old pitcher, the recommendation is no more than 85 pitches per game. The same authorities have also developed recommendations for the number of rest days between pitching performances based on age and number of pitches thrown in the previous game.

  • For 12 year old pitchers who threw 21-40 pitches in a game, 1-2 calendar days of rest without pitching is the best advice.
  • If the 12 year old pitcher threw 41-60 pitches in one game, 2 calendar days of rest and one game (or 3 total days of rest) is the guildeline.
  • For those 12 year old pitchers throwing 61 or more pitches in a game, the rest recommendation is 3 calendar days plus a game (or 4 total days of rest).

What treatment options work for cradle cap?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Try the Gerber Cradle Cap Kit. I got mine at Wal*Mart! Packaged all together in a small cardboard box and sold for $9 dollars you get the following: 2 oz bottle of Scalp Gel, 4.8 oz bottle of Gentle Baby Shampoo, 2 Fl oz Scalp Lotion, an infant comb, plus an instruction booklet and guide about cradle cap.

I tried it on my daughter and loved it. I now recommend it to anyone who has this problem. Also if you try crack cream and rub it on their head it works so well it worked like magic on my neices head and she had a really bad case of cradle cap

What is a healthy blood pressure for a thirteen year old boy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The average blood pressure does not vary with age. It is usually around 120/80. I do know what i am talking about for both parents are doctors and I have reecently been sick, so I have had my blood pressure taken many many times and have overheard the average blood pressure many times. So, all though i am only an eleven year old girl, I do know what i am talking about, even if just for this question. I looked it up again, just to double check myself, so i do have the right answer. So a healthy blood pressure would be right around 120/80 for anyone.

Can a baby have leukemia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My son was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder at the age of 20 months. While receiving therapy. He displayed many symptoms of early Autism but no one wanted to put that label on him yet. So about 6 months later, just when we were getting into the swing of things and I was learning everything that i could about his disability when he fell ill with a horrible fever. It was so bad and wouldn't break so I rushed him into the nearest er. Blood tests that were performed came back abnormal and they wanted to check further. More blood tests and a lumbar puncture were to confirm that my son was severely anemic, neutropenic, and needed several blood transfusions. He was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) Almost 3 years later, here we are with only a few more months of chemotherapy to go (he is 5 1/2 years old today) and his school wants to do more evaluations on him since he will start kindergarten next year. His speech issues and sensory problems are getting better, but he remains still very developmentally delayed. His recent evals conclude that my son is on the Autistic spectrum, moderate to severe in some areas. He cannot continue schooling at that school because they do not have all the resources to care for a child that severe. So off to a new school come August of 2011. I am very happy that after all this time, he has finally been diagnosed. But at the same time, I am heart broken once again. Another diagnosis, more therapy. On the bright side, he will be cancer free come July 2011! For such a young boy, he has been though an awful lot, but everything happens for a reason. So to answer your question, I cannot totally answer that. I do know that my son has Autsim and cancer (leukemia) but I am pretty sure that this is very rare as I cannot find any information anywhere on the internet. I cannot find a connection. The only thing I have come up with is that maybe my son has a weak immune system and maybe something triggered both the Autsim and cancer, or maybe made him more prone to both. I guess I will never really know. I hoped I have helped you out somewhat. Take care.

The two are definitely related in my daughter's case. Google NataliesTrekCIC and contact me if you want more info.

Why is it when you eat store made lunchmeat you feel sick?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There might be some sort of enzyme you're missing. It might be a good idea to figure out what is causing these symptoms since it might be indicative of something else. Most of the time, its something simple, easily remedied and more beneficial to treat the underlying cause.

It could be indicative of a gallbladder issue http://www.drhoffman.com/page.cfm/140

Now, if its a meat allergy, you might find hidden meat allergens in things like marshmallows, candies, ice cream, jello, vaccines (rashes when you get shots?). You could also be allergic to meat, the additives or any number of things. Have you guys tried additive free meat? That might be it.
