Abstract:

Access to health care for children is important. It is dependent on access to health professionals and also parental attitudes towards illness. Children have the right to receive medicines that are scientifically evaluated for both efficacy and safety. Counterfeit and substandard medicines unfortunately result in the death of many children worldwide. There have been particular problems with diethylene glycol which has been used as a solvent in counterfeit medicines. It has also been found in contaminated substandard medicines. It has been responsible for the death of many children in different

Abstract:

Mycobacterium avium belongs to a group of over 130 species of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) or environmental mycobacteria. The subspecies Mycobacterium avium avium was originally described as the causative agent of bird tuberculosis, but was later found to cause disease also in humans. Small children display a special form of infection that is seldom detected in other age groups. It manifests as a chronic lymphadenitis usually in the head and neck region. The incidence rate is approximately 1-5/100,000 children/year. However, exposure to this bacterium is high as judged by sensitin skin t

Abstract:

Anaesthetic induction is one of the most stressful experiences a child can have during hospitalization. High anxiety is seen in 50–60% of the children and is associated with less compliance/cooperation during anaesthetic induction. It can also lead to behaviour problems after surgery. Important factors that are associated with high anxiety are younger age, withdrawn shy temperament, previous negative experience in the hospital and certain kinds of adult behaviour. This thesis has been done to further illuminate the anaesthetic process and gain more knowledge about child behaviour, parent and s

Abstract:

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease resulting from destruction of the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. The patients need life-long heavy treatment and still complications, both acute and later in life, are common. The incidence of type 1 diabetes has increased rapidly during the last decades, especially among young children. The disease can be predicted by genes predisposing type 1 diabetes, mainly human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes, together with presence of autoantibodies to beta-cell antigens, where multiple autoantibodies confer the highest risk.

Abstract:

Adherence to medication is a major issue in chronic illnesses in general and is of particular concern in children, who are often dependent on their parents/carers for medication administration.

Abstract:

<p>The objective of this literature study was to describe the nurse’s preventive actions to prevent diabetes type 2 among children and adolescents in school age. It emerged from the analysis that the nurse is working according to three pillars; screening, lifestyle changes and counselling/education. This result showed that what often increase difficulties when working with screening are: undefined guidelines, lack of time and resources. Overweight/obesity is one of many indicators to develop diabetes type 2, therefore it is important that both BMI and waist are measured. The nurse was working

Stressful experiences and conditions in childhood influence the health and well-being of the growing individual, and can also confer a long-lasting impact into adult life. Delineating the social, mental and biological aspects of stress in children and adolescents is therefore of great concern for human beings. Despite these notions, much knowledge is lacking regarding stress in childhood.

Abstract:

Between the years 1852 and 1860 six voluntary hospitals were opened in Great Britain to provide medical care for children who would previously have been considered too young to be admitted to hospital. This thesis argues that the process was shaped by the public health movement which was ascendant at that time. The literature review shows that while historians of nineteenth-century childhood have been aware that child health was a problem, especially for working-class children, they have tended to view this through the prism of industrial and urban history, and there is little work available r

Atopic asthma is characterized by excessive T helper 2 (Th2)-like immunity to allergens in the bronchial mucosa.

Most asthmatics are atopic, but a subgroup is non-atopic. We hypothesize that allergen-induced Th2, particularly IL-5, responses can be observed in peripheral blood in both atopic and non-atopic asthmatic children but not in healthy control children.

Another objective was to compare different approaches to conducting postal questionnaires in terms of response rate, time consumption and cost-efficiency. The samples in the four studies were parents of 6-year-old

Identifying the aetiological cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) is difficult at the best of times, and more than 20 viruses and bacteria have been associated with LRTIs, which cannot be distinguished with clinical examination alone. Viruses can be detected in respiratory samples by a variety of methods, and without

Abstract:

Administering medicine to children is a part of everyday nursing practice that is complex and multifaceted. However, medicine errors are prevalent in all areas of nursing. One means for strengthening a system of safe medicine administration might lie in developing student nurse preparation for registered practice. This thesis evaluated nurse preparation for administering medicine to children using a multi-stage descriptive design. Preparation through one Diploma in Nursing was evaluated over a period of two years. 20 registered nurses were initially interviewed, and 201 activities characterisi

Abstract:

A medicine will not elicit its desired therapeutic effect if the patient is not able or willing to take it. The specific needs of the target population must be taken into account in the design of medicines. Evaluation of the effect of formulation factors on patient’s acceptability could guide the development of better medicines for children. Flexible solid oral dosage forms, including multiparticulates and (oro)dispersible formulations, offer advantages over conventional solid and liquid dosage forms to meet the needs of paediatric patients. These advantages include favourable stability profil

Abstract:

The development of age appropriate paediatric formulations, particularly those suitable for young children, presents challenges with only limited knowledge available on the acceptability of different medicines and how this affects medication adherence. This thesis describes studies conducted at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Liverpool UK, with the aim of determining which factors relating to dose form and organoleptic properties of a medicinal product influence medication adherence in chronically ill children. The research was conducted in two phases comprising 70 chronically ill children aged

Abstract:

Parents of children with a chronic disease are usually highly involved in their child’s treatment and may be affected by the heavy demands and constant stress. This can increase the risk of developing burnout, which is an individual reaction to long-term stress consisting of symptoms associated with emotional exhaustion, as well as physical and cognitive fatigue. The overall aim was to estimate the prevalence of burnout in parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (paper I), identify the risk factors associated with parenting a child with T1D

Abstract:

In recent decades the number of children with overweight has increased worldwide. To understand the mechanisms behind this development, knowledge regarding metabolism and physiology in relation to the nutritional situation in early life is of importance. In particular, information about body composition development during early childhood is relevant. This thesis presents three studies in this area. In the pregnancy study serum samples, collected from 23 women before, during and after pregnancy, were analysed for serum levels of leptin, adiponectin and resistin and used to assess insulin resist
