It is not uncommon for students to become distracted and bored in school especially when the subject or lecture is not of high interest. However, when these behaviors significantly interfere with academic performance or result in conduct problems, parents and teachers become frustrated. Often such students appear or seem bright enough to master the educational material, so it is not uncommon that they are mischaracterized as lazy, oppositional, or underachieving.

In such cases, the possibility of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHDshould be investigated. The International Brain Research Foundation is committed to developing improved diagnostic techniques and treatment options for this common, puzzling condition.

Philip A. DeFina, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Executive Officer of IBRF describes that "ADHD is diagnosed in an estimated 3% to 10% of children according to various sources worldwide." There are three types of ADHD: primarily inattentive; primarily hyperactive; combination of both. ADHD appears early in life, usually prior to the age of seven, although it may not be identified until many years later, "especially if the case is mild, or the child is bright enough that she or he is able to compensate until the later school grades, when the workload is greater and it is harder to keep up," DeFina adds.

Hallmark symptoms of ADHD may include, but are not limited to: inattention, loss of focus or concentration, forgetfulness (like homework and books), difficulty remembering multistep commands, daydreaming, problems learning new information, difficulties making transitions or being flexible, "not listening", problems following instructions, being easily bored, difficulty staying on task or working independently, missing details, fidgetiness, talkativeness, and impatience.

DeFina stresses that it is important to identify the student with ADHD early for a number of reasons. First, students who experience ADHD miss details and take longer than expected to learn material; thus as they pass through grades in school and years go by, they also miss more and more information and may fall behind. Second, these students may try very hard in their efforts to learn, but when they don't produce the results expected, others may label them as lazy or oppositional or not trying hard enough. These labels may erroneously follow them through school resulting in feeling demoralized and misunderstood. It is not uncommon for such students to experience low self-esteem and a negative self-image.

Unfortunately, ADHD treatment options have been limited. Medication and behavioral treatments are the most utilized at this time. However, there are a number of tools that are showing promise, and gathering support with scientific work sponsored by the International Brain Research Foundation. Currently, the International Brain Research Foundation is developing protocols to better diagnose ADHD through neuroimaging and brain wave mapping. It has also developed algorithms, or formulas, to tailor neurofeedback treatments to the student. Neurofeedback is a noninvasive tool that allows doctors to help the child "normalize" his or her brainwaves through thinking exercises. The idea is that if a dysfunctional pattern of brain waves ischanged to look more normal, then thought processes, which include attention and concentration, will also become more normal and more under control.

DeFina explains, "We at IBRF are committed to providing students and their parents with possible complementary options for this sometimes debilitating disorder. Our work and research although still in its preliminary stages offers hope and support to many."

There is a lot of information floating around out there about the efficacy of alternative medical techniques, and acupuncture in particular. In fact, there are more misconceptions than hard facts about ancient Eastern practices to cure the body and mind. However, one Orange County medical practice is working hard to change people's minds about holistic healing. Acupuncture of America offers a full array of traditional and modern healing techniques custom-tailored to serve their patient's individual needs. But, this leading edge medical office offers more than just acupuncture, Chiropractic services and Therapeutic Massage round out their menu of pain management techniques.

Whatever the Western view, it should be noted that acupuncture has been practiced as a traditional component of Chinese medicine for more than five millennia. This holistic form of healing is based on the body's divisions of twelve meridians; each meridian corresponding to a major organ. Certified acupuncturists insert needles into specified points along these meridian lines to influence and restore the balance to the flow of natural energies and there are more than 1,000 acupuncture points on the body.

If you think that ancient Chinese medical practice does not have 21st Century application, think again, even the government of the United States recognizes the legitimacy of Eastern healing methods. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reclassified acupuncture needles from "experimental" to "medical device" in 1997. Furthermore in that same year, the National Institutes of Health released a statement of endorsement approving acupuncture for the treatment of post-operative recovery pain, tennis elbow, and even carpal tunnel syndrome. Acupuncture is so well known that the FDA estimates that Americans spend more than half a billion dollars on acupuncture treatments every year. These days many mainstream insurance carriers are now accepting acupuncture as a legitimate medical treatment.

As with any medical procedure, science has numerous theories about how exactly acupuncture works. Some of the more popular theories include the rapid release of endorphins; influences the release of neuro-transmitting chemicals; and influences the natural anatomical electrical currents. Acupuncture has been proven effective against many diseases and conditions such as migraines, sinusitis, and tension headaches, the common cold, tennis elbow, sciatica and arthritis, menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia and other non-descript muscle pain, asthma, facilitate weight loss, and smoking cessation.

In addition to acupuncture, the chiropractic profession has grown into one of the fastest growing industries on the planet and boasts nearly 100,000 licensed chiropractors. Telephone surveys in 1997 revealed that an estimated 90-million people actively sought the services of a chiropractor for that year. Massage has also long been a staple of spas and retreats nationwide; however, therapeutic goals can vary considerably between massage therapists and their clients. In many cases, therapeutic massage is recommended by a health professional and may be performed as part of a larger treatment plan.

With traditional American medical care costs sky-rocketing; patients are searching desperately for alternatives. In order to achieve a bit of perspective, the United States, as a nation, has been in existence for just under 250 years. By contrast, Acupuncture has been proven as a successful treatment for a wide variety of conditions and diseases for more than 5,000 years. Having tried nearly everything else, more and more Americans are turning toward alternative remedies like Acupuncture of America for their health care needs.

It is a depressing thought that people are getting fatter almost everywhere in the world.

The World Health Organization predicts there will be 2.3 billion overweight adults in the world by 2015 and more than 700 million of them will be obese.

In a move to help improve those statistics, the renowned Dr Mehmet Oz, one of the most respected tv doctors in the USA has recently endorsed the Raspberry Ketone as the #1 Fat Burner to look out for this year.

Raspberry Ketone, found in red raspberries has been found in clinical trials to work on the natural adiponectin production, which has a direct impact on fatty acid catabolism, and glucose regulation. In other words, the Raspberry Ketone helps boost metabolism and helps promote weight loss by working on glucose regulation.

Other studies have found that when combined with African mango extract, it's effectiveness is increased for even more potent weight loss.

You can find the video of the show here: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/miracle-fat-burner-bottle

Dr Oz is an authority in health and weight loss, and his show has created a huge surge in men and women searching for Raspberry Ketone supplements.

Unfortunately finding good Raspberry Ketone supplements can be a case of trial and error states Chris from the leading UK slimming site slimmingpillsreviewed in their review.

For those looking to purchase the best Raspberry Ketone supplement on the market, slimming pills reviewed has highlighted Raspberry Ketone Plus as being the most effective. You can buy it exclusively online here from the Evolution Slimming website.

Adult incontinence products, used to manage the condition of incontinence in adults, generally consist of adult diapers of various types – cloth diapers or disposable ones, adult pull ups or adult briefs.

Whether you need adult incontinence products for your own use or for someone in your family, you have several options to consider. First, you need to decide what type of adult diaper you want – a reusable cloth diaper, or a supply of disposable ones made of synthetic material. And no, this is not an issue where you should consider environment: the disposable diapers are best for almost everybody. In addition to being convenient, they also reduce the chances of developing skin rashes due to the moisture absorbing wicks they have, and also as they don’t require one to wear plastic pants.

Secondly, you have to decide between an adult pull up and adult brief. Adult pull ups are designed to step into and pulled up, just like a pair of underwear. You should prefer these again because they are more convenient and retain more dignity for the aged as they don’t need to lie down to wear them, or take them off. However, in case the wearer is not active enough, the adult briefs, which are more like diapers, may be considered.

Finally, you have to consider your absorbency needs. For this, you need to take into account the severity of the problem, the size of the wearer, and the amount of his or her liquid intake. In case, any or all three of these indicators are on the higher side, you need to choose an adult diaper with a high absorbency rating.

located in the picturesque desert climes of his Apple Valley practice, Dr. Ali Tehrani believes that in order to maximize the results from cosmetic surgery, patients should carefully research their candidates to perform their surgical procedures as well as the best option available to them. Popular procedures such as mommy makeovers or breast augmentations done in Orange County or the Victor Valley, Dr. Tehrani believes that meticulous attention to detail such as certification and peer recognition will result in a higher degree of satisfaction with the outcomes.

According to recent statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), demand for plastic surgery is actually up. Even in these tough economic times, demand for plastic surgery procedures has risen nearly ten percent since 2009. What's more, other surveys have shown that the majority of Americans actually approve of cosmetic enhancement. The professionals at Tehrani Plastic Surgery in Southern California's High Desert believe as cosmetic surgery continues to grow in popularity; patients should take extra care to ensure they are receiving the best treatment from a specially trained plastic surgeon and carefully reflect upon the results of their procedure. Many well-meaning patients have unwittingly become victims to less than qualified doctors that continue to practice medicine without the proper skills, experience, and training. It is important that patients to take the time to exercise due diligence concerning their surgeon's credentials and qualifications before proceeding with any cosmetic procedure.

As a local option, Dr. Tehrani has privileges to operate in an accredited and certified surgical facility.

According to the most recent statistics one of the most common facial plastic surgery procedures is a nose job. More commonly known as a rhinoplasty, Orange County surgeon Dr. Kevin Sadati offers multiple procedures in order to maximize patient results. While the ability to incorporate several procedures into one treatment is not a new practice, there has been a recent surge in the popularity of multiple procedures. With the latest statistics from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) stating that rhinoplasty, facelift, and eyelid surgery are the most popular procedures, patients can take full advantage of these enhancements when they are performed in conjunction.

One of the advantages of surgical synergies are the best quality results with minimal down time are now considering undergoing multiple procedures at once in order to eliminate the need for extra recovery time. Multiple surgical procedures combined into a single treatment can help plastic surgeons address all of a patient's concerns while enhancing balance in facial symmetries. Although combining surgical procedures is an opportunity to reduce recovery time, these are still invasive procedures that require a significant commitment to recovery.

Nose jobs are a complex set of procedures and can help mitigate a wide array of conditions such as a deviated septum and aesthetic problems including a pronounced dorsal hump. When these procedures are combined with other facial procedures such a blepharoplasty and chin lift, the combined procedures thereby minimize time off from work and home convalescence. The results of these procedures are also drastically magnified when performed together in order to leverage the inherent symmetries available in one procedure. Whether patients are interested in combining multiple procedures or electing a single enhancement such as a nose job, Orange County's Dr. Sadati recommends consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon board certified in facial surgery before deciding to undergo any procedure. Patients should also take great care in finding a practice that emphasizes patient communication to ensure all patient goals are met.

Combining procedures is very common and a great way to accomplish the most in the least amount of time. In other words, combining plastic surgery procedures will give you the biggest bang for your buck. Some patients know exactly what they want and specifically request multiple procedures while others are a little unsure about what might be an option and have a list of goals and desired outcomes. In either case, during this frank discussion, certain procedures will present themselves as solutions to achieve patient's goals.

The point here is that while a patient may only wish to correct a little flaw on their nose or even rearrange the nose's internal structures to correct a deviated septum; opting for multiple procedures while you are already under anesthesia can pay big dividends in the long run. While your nose is getting an overhaul, it might be the right time to correct those droopy eyelids or disappearing chin. Once you are recovered, the results will be dramatic.
