Although many of the medically oriented sites have exceptional information that we wish we could bring to your attention, many are exceptionally substandard There are many (almost 50) sites exclusively devoted to judging the reliability of online health information websites. Unfortunately, many of these sites don't describe the criteria they use for their ratings. As consumers in this electronic marketplace of information, we must remain cautious! Sites that acknowledge they follow the Health on the Net The Best Medical Sites code of conduct certify that they have conformed to a set of standards.

Extractions: What is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy is a term used to describe a group of chronic conditions affecting body movement and muscle coordination. It is caused by damage to one or more specific areas of the brain, usually occurring during fetal development; before, during or shortly following birth; or during infancy. "Cerebral" refers to the brain and "palsy" to muscle weakness; poor control. Cerebral palsy itself is not progressive (i.e., it does not get worse); however, secondary conditions can develop which may get better over time, get worse, or remain the same. Cerebral palsy is not communicable. It is not a disease and should never be referred to a s such. Although cerebral palsy is not "curable" in the accepted sense, training and therapy can help improve function. What are the effects? Cerebral palsy is characterized by an inability to fully control motor function, particularly muscle control and coordination. Depending on which areas of the brain have been damaged, one or more of the following may occur: muscle tightness or spasm; involuntary movement; disturbance in gait and mobility; abnormal sensation and perception; impairment of sight, hearing or speech; seizures; and mental retardation. Because of these, other problems may arise, such as difficulties in feeding, bladder and bowel control, problems with breathing because of postural difficulties, skin disorders because of pressure sores, and learning disabilities.

Word and PDF Related Items: FY 2001 CCDF Final Allocations and Earmarks INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS IN INFANT/TODDLER CHILD CARE Hawaii developed a collaborative system of statewide services for the inclusion of infants and toddlers with developmental disabilities and other special needs into natural settings of child care and preschool services in their communities. The target group is all infants and toddlers in Hawaii eligible under Part H of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, who met the eligibility criteria under the CCDBG, and whose parents were in school or working and desired child care for their children. Hawaii's Department of Human Services and Department of Health are collaborating on this effort. The project is funded from October 15, 1996 - May 31, 1998. The Michigan 4C Association also administers the Enhanced Quality Improvement Program (EQUIP) for the Family Independence Agency. This statewide program awards grants ranging from $500 to $4,999 to child care centers, family homes, group homes, and local 4C agencies to improve the quality of child care to low-income families, increase parental choice, provide consumer education, and increase capacity and availability of child care. Special consideration is given to those proposals that increase the number of infant care slots, odd-hour care, and care for children with special needs.

Extractions: WASHINGTON The government is going after a company that claimed it could make you lose weight without diet or exercise while you slept. The Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit against the marketers of Body Solutions Evening Weight Loss Formula, or Evening Formula. The liquid product was to be taken before going to bed and at least three hours after eating or drinking. Consumers ordered Evening Formula by calling a toll-free telephone number or by ordering over the Internet. Retail stores such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and Walgreens recently started carrying the product, as well. The FTC said Mark Nutritionals Inc., based in San Antonio made false and unsubstantiated claims about the product, like promising that you could eat substantial amounts of high-calorie foods and still lose weight. The regulators say Evening Formula was pitched mainly by local radio personalities who claimed that they'd used it, in ads read on English and Spanish-language stations. The endorsements ran on 650 radio stations in 110 cities nationwide.
