To identify parties involved in the prevention of MP3-induced hearing loss among adolescents and potentially effective prevention strategies and interventions. METHODS. Thirty experts in fields such as scientific research, medical practice, community health professions, education, youth work, music entertainment, and enforcement authorities participated in a qualitative, electronic, 3-round, Web-based Delphi study. RESULTS. Multiple parties involved in the prevention of MP3-induced hearing loss among adolescents were identified; the most relevant are the adolescents themselves, their parents, manufacturers of MP3 players and earphones, and the authorities. The experts did not expect that adolescents in general would perform the necessary protective behaviors to prevent MP3-induced hearing loss. Two environmental health protection measures were identified as both relevant and feasible to be implemented (ie, authorities encourage manufacturers to produce safer products, and public health campaigns will be held to improve knowledge of the risks of high-volume music, possible protective measures, and consequences of hearing loss). CONCLUSIONS. Authorities, the music industry in general, and especially manufacturers of MP3 players and earphones should recognize their responsibility and create a safer MP3-listening environment by taking measures to protect today's youth from the dangers of listening to high-volume music on MP3 players.

Studies among patients have shown accelerated weight gain after (adeno)tonsillectomy.* Whether (adeno)tonsillectomy is also a risk factor for the development of overweight is unknown. We investigated the association between (adeno)tonsillectomy and the subsequent development of overweight in the general population. METHODS. The study population consisted of 3963 children participating in the Dutch Prevention and Incidence of Asthma and Mite Allergy birth cohort. Data on weight and height, adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy, and covariates (gender, birth weight, maternal education, maternal overweight, maternal smoking during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and smoking in the home) were obtained from annual questionnaires completed by the parents. In addition to the questionnaire data, weight and height were measured by the investigators when the children were 8 years old. RESULTS. (Adeno)tonsillectomy between 0 and 7 years of age was significantly associated with overweight and obesity at age 8. Overweight at the age of 2 years was not associated with increased risk of (adeno)tonsillectomy in later years, indicating that the association between (adeno)tonsillectomy and overweight was not explained by preexisting overweight. Longitudinal data on weight and height in the years before and after surgery suggest that (adeno)tonsillectomy forms a turning point between a period of growth faltering and a period of catch-up growth, which might explain the increased risk to develop overweight after the operation. CONCLUSION. Children who undergo (adeno)tonsillectomy are at increased risk to develop overweight in the years after surgery. Wijga, A. H. Scholtens, S. Wieringa, M. H. Kerkhof, M. Gerritsen, J.

Over the past few days, he also has experienced increasing lethargy and fatigue. His past history is significant for situs inversus and asplenia. He has had multiple prior admissions for pneumonia and had a gastric volvulus at age 3 years, which was treated with an esophagojejunal anastomosis. He had been fed by a jejunal tube, but this was removed. The patient subsequently was lost to follow-up until recently. Current medications include fluticasone 125 mcg, 1 ... Martin, S. Waters, K.

The mother reports that the infant had increasing fussiness. Prenatal care and delivery were within normal parameters. She denies use of illicit drugs and is unsure of her group B Streptococcus status. The infant has eight to nine wet diapers and about 10 bowel movements per day. She consumes 1 to 2 oz of regular infant formula every 3 hours. The only finding of note on physical examination is the fever. Her neck is supple and has no abnormalities.
