Children who are abused are more likely to develop serious health problems later down the line. New research has shown that maltreated children have certain changes to their glucocorticoid receptor gene which controls social functioning. The changes in this gene also impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, causing difficulties controlling emotional behavior and stress levels. The immune system is also affected by this gene. This explains why abused children are more likely to develop certain illnesses as well as emotional problems. 

Being the leader of the research team at the University of Alberta, Lisa Hartling experiments with how music affects levels of pain. The team conducted with 42 children in the pediatric ER: half given music to listen to while getting an IV, the rest given no music. Hartling reports that there were less pain after the procedure for the kids that had listened to music than the kids that had not. She hopes to continue this research, testing with different types of music or other distractions to help lower pain during medical procedures.

Although popularized by the media as "healthy," vaccinations bring more harm to the human body then they do health. Multiple studies have found that those children injected with vaccinations actually caught more disease than those not vaccinated. Vaccinations are not guaranteed to work, and can actually cause severe complications. Few vaccinations have been successful; these effective immunizations protect against one disease, but increase risk of other viruses. Vaccines contain harmful ingredients that can cause cancers and leukemia, and are even linked to AIDS. Vaccines are also connected to brain damage, lowered IQ, ADD, learning disabilities, and autism. Vaccinations are composed of harmful ingredients, are illogically produced, and cause more diseases than they prevent.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder associated with sudden seizures. In diagnosing epilepsy, the patient must have displayed two unexpected seizures. Epilepsy can be life - threatening and disabling or benign. Typical symptoms associated with epilepsy are strange sensations, emotions, and behavior. The cause of epilepsy is uncertain, but abnormal brain wiring may have an effect. With no cure for epilepsy, modern day medications and surgeries are used to treat patients. Due to the stigma associated with epilepsy, some children develop behavioral and emotional issues. The restriction of independence, like being denied a drivers license due to seizures, is also emotionally challenging for these patients. Current research being conducted for patients with epilepsy include the development of new models used to determine treatments, and brain implants which control seizures.

The study started as infants and the kids where fallowed till age 7. These kids where compared to kids living near high ways and kids that didn't.

Rather than talking about cool organs this article was more about the topic of "cool kids." This article talked about how the "shelf life" for the popular kids rarely makes it past 20s. In a study in the Journal of Child's Development sociologists followed little kids from various ethnicities and locations until they were adults. Sociologists found that children that were dubbed "cool" were developed this fake maturity because they were typically the ones that went to parties or dated at an earlier age, but as the kids began to get older the other children developed real maturity, so the "cool kids" typically began to involve themselves in riskier behavior in order to maintain their "cool" status, but eventually the risky business turned to alcohol/drug abuse. So, eventually the "cool kids" are no longer cool they are law breakers. Finally, leading sociologists to believe cool kids can't stay cool forever.

A study done by Tel Aviv University shows that breastfeeding within the first year of life can greatly reduce the chances of kids having ADHA. A clear link between the rates of breastfeeding and the chances of ADHD was found. In this test they tested kids with ADHD and there siblings that did not have it. At three months only 43% of kids with ADHD where breastfed. Unlike 69% of siblings that don't have ADHD where breastfed. At 6 months 29% of kids with ADHD where breastfed and 50% of there siblings. Although a mother will most likely feed all the kids the same some factors play in that could change that rate they are breastfed at.
