Definition
Anxiety is a multisystem response to a perceived threat or danger. It reflects a combination of biochemical changes in the body, the patient’s personal history and memory, and the social situation. As far as we know, anxiety is a uniquely human experience. Other animals clearly know fear, but human anxiety involves an ability, to use memory and imagination to move backward and forward in time, that animals do not appear to have. The anxiety that occurs in posttraumatic

The Disease
Almost every child gets the flu (influenza) from time to time. The flu is caused by a virus and usually occurs from October through May. The rates of infection are highest among children, and flu symptoms can last a week or longer. For most people, the flu can cause fever, cough, sore throat, headache, chills, muscle aches, and fatigue. Some people (especially those who have other illnesses) can get much sicker, and can develop symptoms such as high fever or pneumonia. On average is estimated that about 70-100 people die each year from influenza in Cyprus, according to the worldwide statistics.

Did you know?
• About one in five sudden infant syndrome (SIDS) deaths occur while an infant is being cared for by someone other than a parent. Many of these deaths occur when infants who are used to sleeping on their backs at home are then placed to sleep on their tummies by another caregiver. We call this “unaccustomed tummy sleeping.”
• Unaccustomed tummy sleeping increases the risk of SIDS. Babies who are used to sleeping on their backs and placed to sleep on their tummies are 18 times more likely to die from SIDS.
Who is at risk for SIDS?
• SIDS is the leading cause of death for infants between 1 month and 12 months of age.
• SIDS is most common among infants that are 2-4 months old. However, babies can die of SIDS until they are 1 year old.

• The World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) recommends that we should start introducing solid foods when babies are around 6 months old.
• Introduce only one new food at each time and wait for 4-5 days for introducing the next new food (for identifying food allergies).
• Do not add any salt, honey or sugar in infant’s food.

GUIDE FOR PARENTS
The child who has breath-holding spells
The problem
About 5% of young children have breath-holding spells. These involuntary spells follow an event such as falling down or being frightened, frustrated, or angry. They usually start when an infant is between 6 and 18 months of age and disappear by 5 or 6 years. They may happen once or twice a day, or once or twice a month. They are not dangerous and have nothing to do with epilepsy.
