Researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, USA, conducted a study that showed that children with breathing problems during sleep were at higher risks for future behavioral problems, such as the development of hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder. Scientists noted that it is possible to identify breathing problems during sleep in the smallest – children under 2-3 years old. MedAboutMe will tell you more about the research results . Breathing disorder during sleep as a term Breathing disorders during sleep in children and adults is a general term that combines various breathing difficulties and disturbances that affect a person. These include snoring, which is associated with the predominance of the oral… Read More

All parents wish to see their child cheerful and healthy. And there is nothing strange if he is active, moves a lot and plays pranks. But it so happens that the baby’s behavior is alarming. What should parents pay attention to? It is difficult to figure out: is not everything in order with the child or is it ordinary mobility and a bright temperament? Better not to make independent decisions and not make a diagnosis. If you have problems with behavior, be sure to show your child to a specialist. If it is difficult to understand what the child wants, there is no way… Read More

Today, March 19, we celebrate the birthday of Sir Walter Houros , who discovered the well-known ascorbic acid and became the author of the first extensive work on carbohydrates. In his book “The Structure of Sugars,” he postulated a circular form of carbohydrates – the so-called perspective images of Houros of glucose, starch, cellulose are well known to all of us from school chemistry textbooks. Houros received the Nobel Prize for his research in these areas in 1937. Carbohydrates, despite the fact that today even children know about them , for the majority of the population remain a kind of mysterious substance, from which food becomes tasty, and people immediately get fat.  Myth… Read More

For years, doctors have speculated that certain foods may be associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). But, according to global research, food on its own may not cause ADHD, but some of it can worsen symptoms or induce behavior in a child that mimics the signs of ADHD. Features of the diet of a child with ADHD Several studies suggest that children with ADHD may have low levels of essential fatty acids. Therefore, adding omega-3 fatty acids to the diet of a child with ADHD can improve their behavior. These acids interfere with the transmission of certain neurotransmitters . While the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 is beneficial for the… Read More

Is chocolate good or bad? There is no single answer to this question. Maybe because we are constantly looking for the answer not where it really is hiding. And if you do not disassemble chocolate into components, but study its effect on the body as a whole, it turns out that the properties of this delicacy are much more diverse than it seems. On International Chocolate Day, MedAboutMe finds out which myths are not really myths, and why. The high cholesterol myth There are two polar opinions about how chocolate affects cholesterol. Some argue that it increases, others that it decreases. Both sides are right to some extent. Indeed, chocolate contains… Read More

Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorders – “Fashion Concepts” in Neurology or Are They Serious Factors That Hinder the Child’s Adaptation? And the main question is how to treat this condition correctly? Or maybe not to heal, “it will pass by itself” and the child will “outgrow”? Let’s figure it out together with pediatric neurologists! Is there an objective diagnosis of ADHD? Unlike many imprecise neurological formulations (which are often included in the diagnosis only because you need to fill in the Diagnosis line) like “minimal brain dysfunction”, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a completely objective pathology that makes it difficult for the child to adapt and… Read More
