The Echo A Hearing Or Vision Test May Be Solution To "Bad Behavior"

For some children a health problem could be to blame for acting up in class or even a drop in grades. Doctors at Baylor College of Medicine say what might look like a behavioral issue could actually be a signs of hearing or vision problems. If a child cannot hear or see properly, they cannot pay attention in class, said Dr. James H. Bray, associate professor of family and community medicine at BCM. Bray said children may think they can hear what the teacher is saying but actually are getting the information wrong, so it looks like they aren¹t paying attention or are being defiant. Bray said it is important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. "Before a parent begins to worry, a family medicine doctor or pediatrician can conduct a basic hearing and vision test that can identify whether a hearing or vision specialist is needed, or if another problem is to blame," Bray said. Bray said once a diagnosis is made there may be simply solutions, such as making sure a child sits in the front of the class.

The Echo Runner¹s Knee Pain Usually Linked To Foot, Hip Problem If running is turning into a pain in the knees, it might actually be the hips that need your attention, according to an expert at Baylor College of Medicine. When runners have knee pain, it's usually related to foot or hip problems, according to Dr. Joseph Chorley, associate professor of pediatrics – adolescent and sports medicine at BCM and Texas Children's Hospital. If a runner is not in control at the foot, ankle or hip, the knee is what gets twisted, has to overwork and develops irritation. Chorley makes the following suggestions: • Stretch properly before running • Don¹t increase mileage by more than 10 to 15 percent per week • Walk when knee pain begins • Replace shoes every six to nine months or every 500 miles • Know what your foot type is and be sure you have proper cushioning • Consider cross-training and strengthening exercises to help strengthen the core, glutes or hamstrings Multi-vitamins are helpful for all runners and fish oil is good for long distance runners However, there are some symptoms that may indicate a more severe problem that should be seen by a sports medicine physician: • Fluid accumulating in the knee • Painful popping or a mechanical sensation • Someone who had a previous structural injury such as torn ACL or PCL that¹s now experiencing pain.

The Echo Older Adults Express Anxiety In Different Ways While there are several factors that can cause anxiety in older adults, it can be difficult to identify because they express anxiety in unique ways, according to an expert at Baylor College of Medicine. According to Dr. Melinda Stanley, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at BCM, common types of anxiety disorders in adults include: • Generalized anxiety • Social phobias • Specific fears and phobias • Post-traumatic stress disorder Anxiety symptoms that older adults and their family members should watch for include: • Shortness of breath • Difficulty sleeping • Increased heart rate • Muscle aches and pains • Dizziness Anxiety is not a normal part of aging and can be treated. The first important step is to have a physical exam. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a treatment option that teaches learning skills to manage anxiety. Skills that can help reduce anxiety include relaxation, changing thoughts, facing fears, learning how to solve problems and learning behaviors to improve sleep.
