Mild traumatic brain injury not concussion HAMILTON, Ontario (UPI) -- Canadian researchers suggest doctors use the term "mild traumatic brain injury" instead of concussion because people do not seem to take concussions seriously. The study, scheduled to be published in the journal Pediatrics in February, found children who receive the concussion label returned to school sooner than their counterparts diagnosed as having mild head injuries. Returning to activities too quickly puts patients at greater risk for a second injury and poor performance, researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton said. "Our study suggests that if a child is given a diagnosis of a concussion, the family is less likely to consider it an actual injury to the brain," study leader Carol DeMatteo said in a statement. DeMatteo and colleagues analyzed medical records for 434 children admitted to the McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton during a two-year period with acquired brain injury. Of the 341 children with traumatic brain injury, 300 children had a severity score recorded using a system that provides an overall score for patients with multiple injuries, and out of that group 32 per cent received a diagnosis of concussion.

AIDS denialists advise no treatment BOSTON (UPI) -- AIDS denialists persist in denying the value of HIV treatments despite irrefutable proof they have proven benefits, U.S. researchers said. AIDS denialists refute that HIV causes AIDS, that anti-retroviral drugs are useful and that millions of people worldwide have died from AIDS. In 1988, the Institute of Medicine of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences said the evidence that HIV causes AIDS is scientifically conclusive. Professor Myron Essex and Dr. Pride Chigwedere of the Harvard School of Public Health AIDS Initiative said it is estimated that from 2000-2005, at least 330,000 South Africans died prematurely and 35,000 babies were infected with HIV as a result of former President Thabo Mbeki's decision to withhold anti-retroviral drugs, based on advice from American AIDS denialists. AIDS denialists represent a growing movement that has considerable visibility on the Internet, the authors said. "There is a need for honesty and peer review in situations that impact public health policy," Essex and Chigwedere said in a statement. "When AIDS denialism enters public health practice, the consequences are tragic. The implications start in honest science but extend to the need for accountability and, perhaps, public health reform." Copyright 2010 by United Press International

Abuse as child ups risk of abuse as adult MONTREAL (UPI) -- A child who is sexually abused has a higher risk of being a victim of abuse as an adult, researchers in Canada found. Professor Isabelle Daigneault of the University of Montreal conducted a study of 9,170 women and 7,823 men throughout Canada to correlate the likelihood of young victims becoming adult victims of sexual or physical abuse. The study, published in The International Journal of Child Abuse & Neglect, found female survivors of childhood sexual abuse are three to four times more likely than others to be victims of physical or sexual abuse as adults. Male survivors of childhood sexual abuse are three times more likely to be victims of physical abuse as men. However, too few men reported sexual abuse as adults to establish a statistically significant correlation, Daigneault said. "It's the first time that we combine data on sexual abuse during childhood and eventual relationship problems," Daigneault said in a statement. Copyright 2010 by United Press International

Burned out parents, burned out kids HELSINKI, Finland (UPI) -- Children of parents suffering from burnout are more likely than others to experience school burnout, researchers in Finland found. Study leader Katariina Salmela-Aro of the University of Helsinki said school burnout is a chronic school-related stress syndrome that is manifested in fatigue, experiences of cynicism about school and a sense of inadequacy as a student. For the study, estimates of school burnout were obtained from 515 ninth-grade schoolchildren age 15. Estimates of work burnout were obtained from 595 parents of these adolescents. The results showed experiences of burnout were shared in families, Salmela-Aro said. "Experiences of burnout were shared most particularly between adolescents and parents of the same gender, i.e., between daughters and mothers and between sons and fathers," Salmela-Aro said in a statement. "The parent of the same gender seems to serve as a role model for the development of burnout," Salmela-Aro said. The results indicated family finances were also reflected in the level of shared burnout. "The greater the family's financial worries, the higher the level of experienced burnout," Salmela-Aro said. The findings are published in the European Journal of Developmental Psychology. Copyright 2010 by United Press International
