Pediatric Pointers by Dr. Joseph T. Hell Pediatrician with Robeson Health Care Alter the I limbec Spring Pow \\ o? a couple of v cars ago. mv famil\ and I hadthcopporlunitv toallcnd a Pediatric Conference in Hilton ! lead. SC li was a vers good conference and most of the usual'medical topics were discussed There was one topic, however, that was out of the ordinary that 1 thought was inlcrcsling-.-pets As 1 was reminded, there are health issues to consider when there are animals in the house with children There arc over 110 million domestic cats and dogs in the US and 20 million pet birds and aquariums It is estimated that as main as 3X% of households own dogs and 31% own cats With all these pcisaround. there arc ad\ antages and disadvantages to be considered The advantages for a child arc that having a pet teaches rcsponsibilitv. improves social skills and increases confidence. gi\ cscompanionship. and teaches respect for living creatures The disadvantages arc the cost of pets, pet bites and infection, allergies to pet hair, and that often that parent ends up taking care of the animal It iscslimalcd that over five billion dollars is spent in veterinary costs alone each year' Let's talk briefly about pet bites Over I million pel bites occur cacli vcar in the US: K5%'of these arc front dogs The common age for bites in children is 5-14 years of age Luckily . most dog biles do not get infected These bites should be cleaned well and remember the child may need a tetanus booster Because cat biles arc more likely to gel infected, your doctor will probably prescribe antibiotics While some pet bites can not be predicted, the best advise is to keep children away from pets that have a history ofbcitrg aggressive You may have read recently w here there has been an increase in the number of rabies eases in this country Rabies is a germ infection that can be passed to humans by an animal bile While most eases of rabies arc carried by w ild animals, they can bile a pel and pass the infection to them Ifbiltcnby a pet. make sure the pet has had its rabies shots If they have not. see your doctor and report the bite There arc certain precautions. including rabies vaccination : for the patient, that may need to be started The best advise for reducing I pet rabies is always vaccinate your own pels and remind your friends and family to do the same, i Next issue we'll talk more about pet related health issues and how best to pick a pet for your young child Don't forget to send in any topic you i want to discuss, and we'll talk again i next week!

Man CV UO - _ 5^ Vvonnt Maria l-row March J, 199^ IAlong the Robeson Trail by Dr. Stanley Knick, ' ^ Director, VNC-PNative American Resource Center ^ -Many books about Native Americans are specific to a particular tribe or nation. Some books concern themselves with geographical areas such as the Northeast, or with "culture areas" such as the Plains. Other books are about specific topics, such as Indian dance or arts and crafts. SlilT others 'concentrate on certain time periods, such as prehistory or the twentieth century. Here at The Center we have just received a book about many tribes, areas, topics and time periods. It is the Encyclopedia of North American Irujians (edited by Frederick Hoxie; 1 Itjughton Mifflin Co., 1996). This is a particularly useful reference because it allows the reader to scan through an immense body of information or to target one item alphabetically. The tribes and nations which are included seem almost endless (as long as one is interested in Indian people north of Mexico; perhaps the title should have mentioned Indians of the U. S. and Canada). From Abenaki to Zuni, most of the people are there. There is even an entry about the -Lumbee (co-written by the late Professor Adolph Dial and Dr. Linda Oxendine). But many of IBe other federally-unrecognized people are omitted (Coharie, Saponi, Waccamaw, etc.). It is good that at least the Lumbee were included. Where this book really shines is in the topics it includes. Although none of the topical entries goes into extreme detail, enough information is given to get a reader started on the road to research of that topic. Whether one wants to know about dreams or the Dawes Act, mascots or movies, potlatcb or powwows, this book can help. Citations are given with each topic to lead the reader on to other references on the subject This encyclopedia also presents information about a great many Native American individuals. From Cochise and Complanter to Joseph and Wovoka, people can learn about who these people were and what contributions they made. Anyone with a general interest in Native America (north of Mexico), and especially anyone with children who are interested in the subject could benefit from this encyclopedia. For more information about this encyclopedia, visit the Native American Resource Center in historic Old Main Building, on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

G Available ; In Your Home^When Needed; i t L Many parents think that if they keep syrup af ipecac in the house they're ready for a poisoning emergency. But activated charcoal is now recommended by poison control centers around the country as the treatment of choice. When used properly, it can reduce the severity of improperly taken medications and accidentally ingested household products and other toxic chemicals. While syrup of ipecac an be effective if nothing else is around, studies show that taking activated charcoal is better. Why7 When\|aking a product that induces vomitingtaatients risk having stomach contents cho up in their lungs, among other complications. Every home should have a bottle of activated charcoal for poisoning accidents because it needs to be taken immediately after the poison has been inge^ed. Many times, unfortunately, it is not used until the victim reaches a hospital. Activated charcoal acts like a sponge. The poison molecules stick to the surface of the charcoal and are later eliminated from jj body. It it tafe because it it not absorbed,,? into the bloodstream. ' ' But it's important to use the correct form,' r of activated charcoal. For example, CharcoAid? O. manufactured by Requa Inc. specifically as a first aid poison;, treatment for children, is the most effective. ? charcoal product available today. It* contains "super-activated" charcoal, making it two to four times more powerful' than other kinds of activated charcoal. cnarcoAio u can be mixed with any liquid, including soda pop. It cahcven be taken in juice or chocolate milk to reduce the gritty texture. The product comes in a complete, ready-to-mix package with a straw, instructions^td a list of poison conuM centers in the United States.
