Abstract Background Cow milk allergy (CMA) is the third most common food allergy that triggers anaphylactic reactions. Lactose intolerence, infantile colic and gastroesophageal reflux are the most common conditions which overlap with CMA causing both over and underdiagnosis. There are no wide population based epidemiological studies for the prevalence of CMA among Egyptian children. We sought to evaluate the prevalence of CMA among infants and preschool children and to correlate the parental reporting of CMA to the available diagnostic tools. Methods We conducted a cross sectional study that included 800 Egyptian children aged 3 months -5 years, who were enrolled consecutively from the primary care units and outpatient clinics of Children’s Hospital, Ain Shams University. Detailed history taking and clinical examination were done and those with suggestive history of CMA were subjected to further evaluation including skin prick test (SPT) and oral challenge test (OCT). Results The study comprised 390 girls (48.8%) and 410 boys (51.2%). Their weight centiles ranged between 5th and 97th percentiles, with median (IQR)=25(5-50) percentiles and mean(SD)=36.1(31.9). CM was introduced at age of 1-12 months, mean (SD): 9 (6) months with median (IQR): 12 (9-12) months. Forty (5%) subjects had suggestive history of CMA, 32 of whom completed their evaluation. The diagnosis of cow milk allergy was confirmed in 8/40 children (20%), comprising 1 % of the whole study sample. CMA was probably excluded at the time of the study in 21 subjects (52.5%), while diagnosis remained undetermined in 11/40 cases (27.5%) (8 refused to undergo SPT & OCT while 3 were lost to follow up). Conclusion The prevalence of CMA in Egyptian infants and preschool children is estimated to be around 1 % with possible overestimation of cow milk allergy diagnosis according to parental reports.

Moral education of preschool children is a focused process of their initiation of moral values of mankind (humanism, kindness, humanity, justice, mercy and altruism) and stimulation of manifestations of empathy, sympathy and support in people’ world. Moral education is of great importance in the modern, very dynamic and constantly changing world. There is an urgent necessity to understand that human community is a family, where everyone is a part of the universal whole. It is necessary to avoid conflicts and wars in unity and live in peace. To overcome disputes and solve common problems at the negotiating table rather than by means of armed conflicts. To provide political, economic and social development of society constructively. To overcome any obstacles for free, democratic communication and human interaction. Moral education of preschoolers is based on specially developed content presented in educational programmes. The development and improvement of programmes is carried out throughout the entire period of development of national preschool education. Every document of the programme is created at a certain historical stage of development of society, reflecting its political, economic and social status as well as the level of development of the theory and practice of preschool education. At the present stage of the development of national preschool education, there is a need to study the history of development of the content of moral education of preschool children in national and foreign (Russian) educational programmes, which has not been studied specifically before. This has become the goal of our study and helped to set the objectives and content of moral education of preschoolers for the new edition of the program “Child” (2016)

Readers who were intrigued by the surprisingly general beneficial effects of measles vaccine reported by Holt et al1 may be interested to know that a precedent exists for such a finding. A series of articles by Black, Fox, Elveback, and co-workers2-6 deserve greater attention. In three independent and classic studies, they documented that preschool children with a history of measles infection had lower cognitive test scores than measles-susceptible children. This effect occurred despite use of approximately six covariates for adjustment.

Assessment Strategies

Although bipolar disorder historically was thought to only occur rarely in children and adolescents, there has been a significant increase in children and adolescents who are receiving this diagnosis more recently (Carlson, 2005). Nonetheless, the applicability of the current bipolar disorder diagnostic criteria for children, particularly preschool children, remains unclear, even though much work has been focused on this area. As a result, more work needs to be done to further the understanding of bipolar symptoms in children. It is hoped that this paper can assist psychologists and other health service providers in gleaning a snapshot of the literature in this area so that they can gain an understanding of the diagnostic criteria and other behaviors that may be relevant and be informed about potential approaches for assessment and treatment with children who meet bipolar disorder criteria. First, the history of bipolar symptoms and current diagnostic criteria will be discussed. Next, assessment strategies that may prove helpful for identifying bipolar disorder will be discussed. Then, treatments that may have relevance to children and their families will be discussed. Finally, conclusions regarding work with children who may have a bipolar disorder diagnosis will be offered.
