Flu vaccine funded for?
- asthma and regularly use a preventer medication (brown, orange, red or purple inhaler)? - under 5 years and has a significant respiratory illness or been in hospital for a respiratory illness (such as pneumonia, bronchiolitis, asthma)? does your child have a heart condition (such as congenital heart disease or rheumatic heart disease)? does your child have cancer? does your child have an ongoing chest (respiratory) condition, such as bronchiectasis or cystic fibrosis? does your child have diabetes? does your child have ongoing kidney (renal) disease? does your child have HIV or AIDS, an auto-immune disease or another immune deficiency? Flu immunisation is also recommended for those sharing a house with children and young people with long term (chronic) medical conditions. The flu spreads rapidly within households and children are particularly efficient spreaders. It may not be free for household members - they could ask their employer about free or subsidised flu immunisation as many employers offer this to their employees. Flu immunisation is free for some adults; for example, all those over 65 years of age and those with certain long term conditions. Flu immunisation is recommended and free to pregnant women Flu immunisation offers protection in pregnancy. Flu is likely to be more severe in pregnancy and can affect the mother and the unborn baby. Immunisation also offers some protection to the newborn baby.

Other primitive reflexes
3. Placing, stepping (both from birth to 6 weeks). 4. Landau re ex, a two-stage re ex. With the child supported prone (with your hand under the abdomen), the child should (normally) extend head, trunk and hips. is is the rst, and more important, stage. Next, ex the head and neck; normally the response is exion of trunk and hips, but this is less constant than the rst stage ( rst stage from 4 months, plus second stage from 9 months; gone by 2 years). 5. ATNR. With the child supine, the head is rotated to one side. A ‘fencing’ posture develops, with extension of the ipsilateral upper and lower limb (i.e. the side towards which the head is turned) and exion of the opposite side (2–6 months). Persistence beyond 6 months is indicative of upper motor neurone problems, especially CP. Maintaining the ATNR posture throughout the time that the head is held turned, such that the child cannot ‘break’ from that position, is similarly signi cant. 6. Neck-righting re ex. Rotation of the trunk to conform with the position of the head when the head is rotated to one side (6 months to 2 years). 7. Moro re ex (birth to 4 months). As with most primitive re exes, persistence beyond the usual time of disappearance is pathological. Make a point of focusing not only on the limb movements but also the facial response, for asymmetry (e.g. in hemiplegic CP). 8. Parachute re ex. With the infant held in the prone position, move him or her rapidly, face downwards, towards the oor. e normal reaction is to extend both upper limbs as if to break the fall (appears between 6 and 12 months, usually at 9 months, and persists; its absence beyond 12 months is abnormal). Asymmetry occurs with hemiplegia.

Bullying plan 5 steps
1: explore and fix cause eg smell or drooling 2: increase self esteem highlight strengths and increase support peers and family home environment and 'buddy' or mentor at school and adult he can trust to report to 3: school policy, avoid situations that exacerbate or change schools, karate or other activity to help 4. list some immediate things your child can do when the bullying happens. For example: first, ignore the bullying behaviour. If that doesn’t work, tell the person to stop. If the bullying continues, walk away. Tell someone. 5.

What is an Argyll Robertson Pupil
It is bilateral small pupils that reduce in size on a near object (i.e., they accommodate), but do not constrict when exposed to bright light (i.e., they do not react to light). They are a highly specific sign of neurosyphilis; however, Argyll Robertson pupils may also be a sign of diabetic neuropathy. In general, pupils that accommodate but do not react are said to show light-near dissociation (i.e., it is the absence of a miotic reaction to light, both direct and consensual, with the preservation of a miotic reaction to near stimulus (accommodation/convergence).[1]

Bulbar palsy results from bilateral impairment of function of the IXth, Xth and XIIth cranial nerves. This gives rise to dysarthria, dysphagia (often with choking episodes and nasal regurgitation of fluids), dysphonia and poor cough, and susceptibility to aspiration pneumonia. The lowermost part of VII may, infrequently, be involved. The disturbance is of the motor nuclei rather than of the corticobulbar tracts. It is distinguished from pseudobulbar palsy by the presence of lower motor neurone signs. Autonomic features are uncommon. ``` Causes of bulbar palsy include: MND Guillain Barre syndrome poliomyelitis diphtheria myasthenia gravis neurosyphilis Tumour Stroke Syndromic or genetic ```

Five steps to help protect your child online
1. Keep it private Ensure your child keeps their profile and online friends private. Most social networking sites and other technologies (such as chat rooms) have both private and open/public settings. They should also avoid divulging personal information, including identifying photographs, to anyone they don't already know. Ensure they understand that once posted/uploaded, content is non-retractable and will be part of their permanent record online. Someone, somewhere will always find it. 2. Keep it friendly Cyber-bullying is poised to turn into the biggest online concern, already affecting up to 35% of all children*. Ensure your child knows what to do when they encounter cyber-bullying (Stop, Block and Tell!), and who to report it to - make sure you are on their list! 'Think before you send' is a great online rule for your child to live by. Ask them to think about the potential consequences to themselves and others of every video uploaded, every comment, every text, every email. 3. Keep it online Ensure your child only ever meets online friends for the first time in the company of yourself or a trusted adult. Ensure your child never, ever organises to meet an online friend face-to-face for the first time on their own - no exceptions. 4. Keep it locked Make sure your child's mobile phone uses a PIN, so when lost or stolen it can't be used to auto-sign into their online profiles (auto-sign-on is where a website auto-remembers a password). If in doubt, ask to set their Bluetooth-enabled phone to 'undiscoverable' - otherwise strangers can potentially access your children's phone and its data. 5. Keep it real Children find the internet an easier place to explore their identity, to challenge adult norms and boundaries, experiment with relationships and practice a range of behaviours. But many of the consequences of these things are amplified online. Reinforce strong and positive personal and societal values and behaviours online. Help build resilience in your child to what they will undoubtedly come across on the internet: inappropriate content and cyber-bullying. Make sure they know how to handle themselves online.

- asthma and regularly use a preventer medication (brown, orange, red or purple inhaler)? - under 5 years and has a significant respiratory illness or been in hospital for a respiratory illness (such as pneumonia, bronchiolitis, asthma)? does your child have a heart condition (such as congenital heart disease or rheumatic heart disease)? does your child have cancer? does your child have an ongoing chest (respiratory) condition, such as bronchiectasis or cystic fibrosis? does your child have diabetes? does your child have ongoing kidney (renal) disease? does your child have HIV or AIDS, an auto-immune disease or another immune deficiency? Flu immunisation is also recommended for those sharing a house with children and young people with long term (chronic) medical conditions. The flu spreads rapidly within households and children are particularly efficient spreaders. It may not be free for household members - they could ask their employer about free or subsidised flu immunisation as many employers offer this to their employees. Flu immunisation is free for some adults; for example, all those over 65 years of age and those with certain long term conditions. Flu immunisation is recommended and free to pregnant women Flu immunisation offers protection in pregnancy. Flu is likely to be more severe in pregnancy and can affect the mother and the unborn baby. Immunisation also offers some protection to the newborn baby.

Other primitive reflexes
3. Placing, stepping (both from birth to 6 weeks). 4. Landau re ex, a two-stage re ex. With the child supported prone (with your hand under the abdomen), the child should (normally) extend head, trunk and hips. is is the rst, and more important, stage. Next, ex the head and neck; normally the response is exion of trunk and hips, but this is less constant than the rst stage ( rst stage from 4 months, plus second stage from 9 months; gone by 2 years). 5. ATNR. With the child supine, the head is rotated to one side. A ‘fencing’ posture develops, with extension of the ipsilateral upper and lower limb (i.e. the side towards which the head is turned) and exion of the opposite side (2–6 months). Persistence beyond 6 months is indicative of upper motor neurone problems, especially CP. Maintaining the ATNR posture throughout the time that the head is held turned, such that the child cannot ‘break’ from that position, is similarly signi cant. 6. Neck-righting re ex. Rotation of the trunk to conform with the position of the head when the head is rotated to one side (6 months to 2 years). 7. Moro re ex (birth to 4 months). As with most primitive re exes, persistence beyond the usual time of disappearance is pathological. Make a point of focusing not only on the limb movements but also the facial response, for asymmetry (e.g. in hemiplegic CP). 8. Parachute re ex. With the infant held in the prone position, move him or her rapidly, face downwards, towards the oor. e normal reaction is to extend both upper limbs as if to break the fall (appears between 6 and 12 months, usually at 9 months, and persists; its absence beyond 12 months is abnormal). Asymmetry occurs with hemiplegia.

What is an Argyll Robertson Pupil
It is bilateral small pupils that reduce in size on a near object (i.e., they accommodate), but do not constrict when exposed to bright light (i.e., they do not react to light). They are a highly specific sign of neurosyphilis; however, Argyll Robertson pupils may also be a sign of diabetic neuropathy. In general, pupils that accommodate but do not react are said to show light-near dissociation (i.e., it is the absence of a miotic reaction to light, both direct and consensual, with the preservation of a miotic reaction to near stimulus (accommodation/convergence).[1]

Bulbar palsy weather is it and causes?
Bulbar palsy results from bilateral impairment of function of the IXth, Xth and XIIth cranial nerves. This gives rise to dysarthria, dysphagia (often with choking episodes and nasal regurgitation of fluids), dysphonia and poor cough, and susceptibility to aspiration pneumonia. The lowermost part of VII may, infrequently, be involved. The disturbance is of the motor nuclei rather than of the corticobulbar tracts. It is distinguished from pseudobulbar palsy by the presence of lower motor neurone signs. Autonomic features are uncommon. ``` Causes of bulbar palsy include: MND Guillain Barre syndrome poliomyelitis diphtheria myasthenia gravis neurosyphilis Tumour Stroke Syndromic or genetic ```
