Маленькие дети и дошкольники понимают когда происходят плохие события и они помнят, что они пережили. После страшного события часто проявляются изменения в их пов...дении. Возможно, они плачут чаще, чем прежде, цепляются за Вас и не хотят, чтобы Вы оставляли их самих, переживают порывы гнева, бьются, плохо спят, боятся вещей, которых раньше не боялись и делают шаг назад в своём развитии (например, начинают опять писяться).

Spirometry is required as part of the comprehensive evaluation of both adult and paediatric individuals with suspected or confirmed respiratory diseases and occupational assessments. It is used in the categorisation of impairment, grading of severity, assessment of potential progression and response... to interventions. Guidelines for spirometry in South Africa are required to improve the quality, standardisation and usefulness in local respiratory practice. The broad principles of spirometry have remained largely unchanged from previous versions of the South African Spirometry Guidelines; however, minor adjustments have been incorporated from more comprehensive international guidelines, including adoption of the Global Lung Function Initiative 2012 (GLI 2012) spirometry reference equations for the South African population.
All equipment should have proof of validation regarding resolution and consistency of the system. Daily calibration must be performed, and equipment quality control processes adhered to. It is important to have standard operating procedures to ensure consistency and quality and, additionally, strict infection control as highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adequate spirometry relies on a competent, trained operator, accurate equipment, standardised operating procedures, quality control and patient co-operation. All manoeuvres must be performed strictly according to guidelines, and strict quality assurance methods should be in place, including acceptability criteria (for any given effort) and repeatability (between efforts).

EXPERT OPINION ON DRUG SAFETY 2018, VOL. 17, NO. 11, 1129–1144.
Malaria during and after pregnancy contributes significantly to maternal mortality and adverse fetal outcomes. While effective and safe antimalarial treatments are essential, quinine — an older, less effective drug — has long bee...n favoured due to the limited safety data available on newer drugs. This review summarises the results of human studies investigating the safety and efficacy of antimalarial drugs during pregnancy and lactation.

El año 2024 fue especialmente difícil para la infancia. Los conflictos cada vez más violentos, las conmociones climáticas y la pobreza provocaron un aumento drástico de las necesidades de los niños y niñas, justo cuando los recursos necesarios para atenderlas se reducían de forma constante. ...
Pese a todo, tal como muestra este Informe anual, UNICEF mantuvo su presencia en más de 190 países y territorios, donde protegió y salvó la vida a millones de niños y niñas incluso en los lugares más remotos. En colaboración con nuestros aliados, suministramos agua salubre e instalaciones de saneamiento, brindamos protección y apoyo psicosocial y prestamos servicios de salud, nutrición, inmunización, educación y capacitación.
En 2025, el panorama mundial sigue estando presidido por cambios políticos importantes, volatilidad, incertidumbre económica y crisis humanitarias cada vez más graves. Si queremos rendir frutos, UNICEF debe dar lo mejor de sí.
Pero los recortes en la financiación –los que ya se han anunciado y los que hay previstos– están limitando la capacidad de UNICEF para llegar a millones de niños y niñas en situación de extrema necesidad. Estos nuevos recortes están generando una crisis mundial de financiación que pondrá en peligro la vida de millones de niños y niñas más.

Malaria and HIV are geographically in the tropics and subtropics of the world, including sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the overlapping effect of both infections, especially among pregnant women, is crucial in managin...g pregnant women during antenatal care visits, and postpartum babies. It was realized that the prevalence of malaria among HIV-positive pregnant women ranges between 31–61%, while for non-HIV infected pregnant women the prevalence still stands between 10 and 36%. Co-infection is between 0.52 and 56.3%.

This video highlights the significant risks that malaria poses to pregnant and breastfeeding women in malaria-endemic regions. It follows the stories of Angavu from Kenya, Moyinoluwa from Nigeria and Lamai from Thailand. It emphasises the severe consequences that malaria can have during pregnancy, i...ncluding miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight and maternal death. Due to safety concerns, pregnant women are often excluded from antimalarial drug trials, which causes long delays in effective medicines becoming available for this vulnerable group. To address this issue, the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) launched the Malaria in Mothers and Babies (MiMBa) initiative, which aims to accelerate the discovery, development, and delivery of safe antimalarial treatments for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The initiative aims to close critical gaps in research, drug development, and access, ensuring that these women and their babies are better protected against malaria. The video calls for continued efforts to address the needs of underserved populations most affected by malaria.
