Risk factors don't develop cerebral palsy

Most children with cerebral palsy don't have any apparent problems during development in the womb and birth. But some factors may increase the risk of cerebral palsy:

Babies that are premature or have a low birth weight
Fetuses in a feet-first position (breech presentation) at the beginning of labor
Complicated labor and delivery
Maternal infection during pregnancy
Health problems in the mother during pregnancy that impair normal blood circulation to the uterus and placenta


Meconium staining of amniotic fluid, caused by stool passed by the fetus in utero, also may indicate prenatal difficulties. However, most children with one or more of these risk factors don't develop cerebral palsy.

Heart Attacks and Drinking Warm Water

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal... However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine... Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

MONONUCLEOSIS: Kissing Disease

Infectious mononucleosis (mono) is often called the kissing disease. The virus that causes mono is transmitted through saliva, so you can get it through kissing, but you can also be exposed through a cough or sneeze, or by sharing a glass or food utensil with someone who has mono. However, mononucleosis isn't as contagious as some infections, such as the common cold.

You're most likely to get mononucleosis with all the signs and symptoms if you're an adolescent or young adult. Young children usually have few symptoms, and the infection often goes unrecognized.

If you have mononucleosis, it's important to be careful of certain complications such as an enlarged spleen. Rest and adequate fluids are key to recovery.

Symptoms OF MONONUCLEOSIS

Signs and symptoms of mononucleosis may include:
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Sore throat, perhaps a strep throat that doesn't get better with antibiotics
• Fever
• Swollen lymph nodes in your neck and armpits
• Swollen tonsils
• Headache
• Skin rash
• Loss of appetite
• Soft, swollen spleen
• Night sweats

The virus typically has an incubation period of four to eight weeks, although in young children this period is shorter. Signs and symptoms such as fever and sore throat usually lessen within a couple of weeks, although fatigue, enlarged lymph nodes and a swollen spleen may last for a few weeks longer.

Liver issues

Problems with your liver also may occur:
• Hepatitis. You may experience mild liver inflammation (hepatitis).
• Jaundice. A yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice) also occurs occasionally, usually in people older than 35.
