    Teen Suicide

    On the night of February 10, 2007, 13-year-old Kyle Koslop ended his life in his bedroom. He was the 38th person in Luzerne County under the age of 24 to commit suicide since the year of 2000 (Grochowski). Last year, at least three more students from Luzerne County committed suicide; two students from Pittston Area and one student from Nanticoke.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among 15-24-year-olds (Harpaz) because feelings of being overwhelmed and alone are sometimes unrecognized, and because teenagers can be victims of bullying.…

    Evaluating the Effectiveness of Gel Pillows to Reduce Bilateral Head Flattening in Preterm Infants

    Although the problem was clearly stated in the introduction of this article, it was a bit unclear how sudden infant death syndrome, as well as increasing the survival of very low birth weight infants had any relevance to the problem at hand. Although it took a bit of time, the authors were eventually able to tie the information together. It was explained that in the 1990s, there was “an alarming rise in the number of premature infants presenting with plagiocephaly without syntosis, reported by several craniofacial centers.” Insert citation Gathering more current data would make for a more efficient, as well as accurate study. The authors also properly explained why plagiocephaly without syntosis was such an issue, as well as the solution, which was quite simple, a gel pillow. The correlation between the problem and the solution suggested that the study would prove to be successful.…

    Isabella Anne Constance Marie Wiens

    This is a case of Isabella Anne Constance Marie Wiens who was born on June 11, 2011. Isabella was taken from her mother, Sara Jane Wiens in August 2011 after she was deemed unfit to care for her (Kane, 2015). In March 2013, the 21-month-old toddler was found dead in the crib at her foster home (Kane, 2015); and the place of death was listed as Burnaby (Culbert & Shaw, 2015). Two years later, Ms. Wiens is still searching for answers as the coroner’s report classified the death as being undetermined (Kane, 2015). According to the coroner’s report a queen-sized fleece blanket had been draped over the crib to keep out light that had fallen and was completely covering the child (Culbert & Shaw, 2015). The post mortem examination findings indicated…

    Sids

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is one of the most difficult and mysterious diagnosis to face, for both parents and members of the healthcare team. It is the worst nightmare of all parents. SIDS is defined as "a sudden and unexpected death of an infant, or young child, in which a thorough postmortem examination, and examination of the death scene, fails to demonstrate an adequate cause for death (Caldwell, 1995). Though some are more prone to SIDS, it strikes families of all races, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds without warning. Neither parents or physicians can predict that SIDS will strike (The SIDS Network, 1997). In fact, most victims of SIDS, seem healthy preceding death. This paper outlines the disorder of SIDS and provides some information, though not exhaustive, of the known risk factors.…

    Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI)

    What is Fatal Familial Insomnia? Also known as FFI. Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI) is a genetic sleep disorder - but it is a rare one. It has been diagnosed in less than 40 families worldwide, including the Chicago music teacher, Michael Corke, who featured in the BBC documentary The Man Who Never Slept. FFI begins as an unexplained sleeplessness during middle age and rapidly develops into a fatal insomnia. It is caused by a genetic mutation which leads to a prion disease, related in nature to Mad Cow Disease (BSE or CJD) and Kuru (the laughing disease found in cannibalistic tribes in New Guinea) and even Alzheimer's Disease. Prions are the missing link between all these diseases, and they tell us a lot about the nature of protein molecules and their ability to cause death.…

    (2) What is cot death? Cot death is a diagnosis that’s made when an apparently healthy baby dies, without, warning, and for no clear reason. No one knows why babies die in this way. It must be a combination of factors that affect a baby at a vulnerable stage in their development. Some babies may have a problem with the part of the brain that controls breathing and walking. These babies don’t respond if their breathing is slightly restricted, such as if there are bed clothes covering their nose or mouth. Sadly, there’s no failsafe way to prevent cot death. However, you can do a number of things to keep your baby safe and reduce the risk. Put your baby to sleep on his/her back in a cot or Moses basket. For the first six months this should be in a room with you. Healthy babies placed on their back to sleep are not more likely to choke. This is the safest place and position for your baby to sleep in. At about five months of six months, babies start to roll. At this age the risk of cot death reduces and it’s safe to let your baby find his/her own comfortable sleeping position. But you should still put your baby down to sleep on his/her back. If you wake up and see that your baby is on his/her front, and he/she’s younger than six months old, gently roll him/her onto his/her back. Babies older than this can usually roll on to their back themselves. You don’t need to get up and check throughout the night, as likely to change position regularly when he/she sleeps. Don’t smoke during…

    The Cause Of Suicide

    In today’s world, people have found different ways of dealing with their problem. For example, one of the ways they have dealt with problems is by turning to both alcohol and drugs. Some people even look out suicide as a way out. The main reasons why people turn to a substance like drugs and alcohol is because they feel lonely, depressed, and they try to escape reality. When a person feels depressed, the only way he or she can cure that empty gap is by filling it with drugs and alcohol. Instead of turning to a loved one, they rather be alone and deal with their pain by using drugs and alcohol. There are times when a person reacts in mixed emotions such as happiness, sadness, and even aggressiveness. These are some symptoms a person has when…
