'Faulty' brain connections may be responsible for social impairments in autism

U.S. life expectancy reaches record high, data indicate.
From AOA First Looks...
NBC Nightly News (6/11, story 8, 2:15, Williams) reported that life expectancy in the U.S. has reached "a new milestone." According to ABC World News (6/11, story 9, 0:40, Gibson), "Government figures say a baby born in 2006 will live four months longer than babies born a year earlier."
The Washington Post (6/12, A4, Brown) reports that "Americans' life expectancy reached a record high of 78.1 years in 2006, with disparities among ethnic groups and between the sexes generally narrowing," according to findings published in the Jun. 11 issue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Vital Statistics Reports. Notably, the "death rates from most diseases went down, with influenza mortality falling steeply, and AIDS mortality marking its 10th straight year of decline." Furthermore, "[i]nfant mortality in 2006 also fell from the previous year, continuing a trend stretching back nearly 50 years." Melonie P. Heron, Ph.D., a demographer at the National Center for Health Statistics, said, "This report has a lot of good news."
In spite of "the good news, the USA ranks 29th in life expectancy among the United Nations' member nations," USA Today (6/12, 6D, Sternberg) adds. Andorra ranks highest in the world, with "an average life expectancy of 83, followed closely by Japan, Sweden, Australia, and Switzerland." According to University of Pennsylvania demographer Samuel Preston, "We're two to three years behind most Western countries at this point. ... We may be gaining, or not, depending on the rate at which their life expectancy is increasing."
The increase to 78.1 years "is due mainly to falling mortality rates in almost all the leading causes of death," the AP (6/12, Stobbe) explains. CDC researchers found "declines of more than six percent in stroke and chronic lower respiratory disease (including bronchitis and emphysema), and a drop of more than five percent in heart disease and diabetes deaths." In fact, "the drop in diabetes deaths was steep enough to allow Alzheimer's disease -- which held about steady -- to pass diabetes to become the nation's sixth leading cause of death."
Yet, the "largest decline in death rates between 2005 and 2006 occurred for influenza and pneumonia (12.8 percent)," the AFP (6/12) reports. Investigators also noted declines for "hypertension (5.0 percent), chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (3.3 percent), suicide (2.8 percent), septicemia or blood poisoning (2.7 percent), cancer (1.6 percent), and accidents (1.5 percent)." The UPI (6/12), Bloomberg (6/12, Cortez), Minnesota's Star Tribune (6/12), and WebMD (6/11, Hitti) also covered the story, as did the Chicago Tribune's (6/11, Graham) Triage blog.

Children enjoy wide variety of eyewear options.
From AOA First Look...
CNN (6/10, Landau) reported that "[w]ith puppets, cartoons, and celebrities wearing glasses and patches, children today can see that eyewear doesn't have to look scary or ugly." Youngsters "enjoy a wide variety of options for their eye correction, including glasses of many colors and styles." Florida optometrist Barry Kay, O.D., "has seen a lot of kids faking eye problems over the past 15 years because they want glasses, particularly between the ages of five and 10." Some children "think frames are cool because their friends have them, while others want attention," Dr. Kay explained. California optometrist Karen Griffith, O.D., pointed out that it is "important for a child to pick his or her own glasses, even if the style is not what the parent prefers." And, because good vision is important in order for babies and toddlers to learn physical and developmental skills, "[o]ptometrists also promote InfantSEE, a public health program through which an infant can get a free eye exam between age six months and 12 months. The program has been run by the American Optometric Association and Johnson & Johnson since 2005."
Optometrists volunteer nationwide to provide visual assessments for children in first year of life. In a letter to the editor of the Des Moines Register (6/10), Larry Van Daalen, O.D., president of the Iowa Optometric Association, pointed out that "[f]or the past three years, 240 doctors of optometry in Iowa and over 8,000 nationwide have volunteered their time to provide a free one-time visual assessment for a child in the first year of life. This assessment does not cost parents, insurance, or the government one dime."

St. John's Wort No Help for ADHD
...A popular herbal remedy for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children actually does little to improve symptoms of the disease, according to a new study.

AOA suggests enjoying professional fireworks displays to protect, preserve eyesight.
From AOA First Look...
Medical News Today (6/10) reports, "This year for the 4th of July celebrations, the American Optometric Association (AOA) suggests that families and friends stay away from private firework use, and instead enjoy professional displays to protect and preserve eyesight." That is because "thousands of adults and children are seriously injured" each Independence Day "as a result of fireworks and pyrotechnic devices. Many burns and injuries affect eyesight, permanently damaging and in some cases blinding the victims." Figures from Consumer Product Safety Commission indicated that in 2005, "fireworks were involved in an estimated 10,800 injuries that were treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments." Approximately 1,600 of these "cases were eye injuries," including "contusions and lacerations." Sparklers, in particular, are the main "cause of fireworks injuries requiring trips to the emergency room." And, even "bystanders are not safe from injury. Data from the United States Eye Injury Registry shows that bystanders are injured by fireworks one-half of the time."
Comments: Kids and fireworks never mix well. Do not loose an eye or other apendage we usually need....go to professional displays....keep eye killer fireworks out of kids hands. DM
