Hydrolysed infant formula prevents childhood allergies in high risk children
Although breast-feeding is recommended to mothers as being the healthiest way to feed babies, it is not always possible.

Study sheds new light on link between birth weight, obesity, and childhood growth
Boys who are light at birth, but then grow rapidly during childhood, are more likely to be obese as adults, is just one of the findings from a large study in this week's BMJ.

Genetic risk factor for common childhood respiratory infection identified
The severity of the common childhood infection, bronchiolitis, may be genetically determined, shows research in Thorax. Bronchiolitis is a respiratory infection which affects nearly all children by their second year. Occurring in winter epidemics, in most cases it is caused by respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. Its primary symptom is... view more... (2000-11-16)
A Possible Link Between IVF And Eye Cancer? (pp 273, 309)
An observational study by Dutch authors in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that children conceived by in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) could be at an increased risk of retinoblastoma (a malignant tumour of the retina).
