When Children Have Breathing Problems
Increasing numbers of children around the world are suffering from respiratory problems - coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks. Although the key external causes of these diseases were identified a long time ago (traffic and industrial air pollution), it had not previously been possible to distinguish clearly between these two factors so as to have a targeted impact on them. Researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the University of Leipzig carried out research in this area together with colleagues from the University of La Plata and can now confirm that air pollution caused by industry has even more grave effects than vehicle exhaust fumes.

Availability Of IVF Treatment In UK Still Poor Compared With Rest Of Europe
Commenting on the news announced today by ESHRE"s European IVF monitoring consortium on the improvements in the quality, safety and efficacy of ART, Clare Lewis-Jones MBE, Chief Executive of Infertility Network UK said "We are angry that although the UK pioneered infertility treatment, we are still among the lowest providers in Europe of NHS treatment, and these figures show that availability in the UK is less than one third of that in Denmark. Recent measures announced by the Government to encourage implementation of the NICE Guideline have led to an improvement in the provision in some areas but more needs to be done by Primary Care Trusts in England to ensure that patients have equal and timely access to the full range of treatment recommended by NICE, and to tackle the ongoing variations in provision that exist across the country.

In Australia Indigenous Health Experts Reject MP's Call For Removal Of Alcohol Restriction

Leading medical researchers from Australia"s George Institute for International Health are surprised by recent statements made by a Western Australian Member of Parliament, Hon. Carol Anne Martin MLA, who is calling for the removal of the alcohol restrictions in the Kimberley towns of Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing. The George Institute considers these statements a disappointing response to the positive community impacts of the alcohol restriction. The pioneering restriction on full-strength "takeaway" alcohol began in 2007 and was led by the Indigenous communities of the Fitzroy Valley in Australia"s remote northwest. The restriction includes no sales of full-strength "takeaway" alcohol. Light beer is still available to purchase as "takeaway". "The suggestion that the community-led restriction be removed is a blanket rejection of evidence that says it is working", says leading Indigenous health researcher, Professor Alan Cass. "A comprehensive report after six months showed this community-led restriction had resulted in a clear improvement in health and social outcomes including a 50% reduction in hospital admissions, a 27% reduction in alcohol-related violence and a 14% increase in school attendance." Prior to the restriction, the community had experienced 13 suicides in 13 months. Reports of family violence were commonplace and alcohol consumption was rising at an alarming rate. "This project has not only provided health benefits for the community, it also shows that initiatives for the community and led by the community can work. We should be congratulating and embracing these initiatives and working with Fitzroy Valley and other communities to support the introduction of similar, effective and community-led programs", added Professor Cass who is also Co-Director of the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health at the University of Sydney. The George Institute supported the making of Yajilarra, a documentary that followed the journey of the Fitzroy Valley Community as they took action to reduce the health and social impacts of alcohol in their community.
