A study at Columbus Children's Hospital demonstrates that physicians are on board with the recent trend in the increased use of Palm Pilots脣鈩 and other handheld computer devices.
In the first nationally representative study of its kind, researchers have found that mothers of low birth weight (LBW) children are at increased risk of depressive symptoms compared with mothers of normal birth weight (NBW) children.
A new study on the use of CAM in HIV-infected children and adults reveals that CAM use is more prevalent among HIV-infected individuals than the general population.
Researchers are working on ways to replace defective cystic fibrosis genes with normal genes. A new study reveals the strategies that have been developed to physically modify adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to permit efficient targeted gene delivery to airway epithelium.
A Researcher at Columbus Children's Hospital, conducted a study that examined whether or not the diagnosis of ADHD predisposes children to increased risk of serious trauma and if the types of trauma encountered differ from non-ADHD children.
A clinical study, presented at the 2001 American Thoracic Society Meeting revealed that infants with cystic fibrosis have mild obstruction. The study concluded that the baseline levels of obstruction appear to increase over the first three years of life.
A study at Columbus Children's Hospital suggests that by decreasing entree sizes in the National School Lunch Program, in accordance with USDA regulations, children may be more likely to consume fruits and vegetables.
Researchers at Children's Research Institute, located on the campus of Columbus Children's Hospital, designed the first-ever transgenic model (genetically modified) to show how the CREB protein (cyclic AMP response element binding protein) leads to the abnormal function of osteoclasts (cells that break down the bone), resulting in osteopetrosis.
In a recent study on the effects of second-hand smoke exposure among children ages two weeks to four years, researchers at Columbus Children's Hospital confirmed that even a child whose parents smoke outside the home in places like the garage is exposed to higher levels, as measured by the child's hair cotinine level.
