An interventional controlled study was conducted on 90 overweight children aged 4-5 at MamNon Practizing HoaSen School ( interventional school ) and MamNon ThanhCong A school ( controlled school ), BaDinh district, Hanoi from Dec.2002 to Jun.2003. The overweight was assessed by Weight/Height index (W/H > +2 SD) in comparing with population of referrence NCHS (WHO,1995). Physical strength was assessed by some tests in combining. Results showed that the triceps skinfold thickness waist, hip ratio, light level overweight and obesity status and all other physical conditions were improved

Milia en plaque is characterixed by multiple milia-like lesions within an erythematous edematous plaque in the postauricular area. The histopathological findings are those of milia. We report a case of milia en plaque occurring on the scapha's fossa of the left auricle in a 3-year-old boy.

Early discover and treatment is important for the prevention of amblyopia. When we discover ambloypia early, it is good for below 3 years old to do full occlusion theraphy. Thru the attempt of instruction for families, it is very good to find out obstacle etiology for normal developmental process of vision from childfood. It is need to do visual test before the the entrance to primary school.

Basaloid follicular hamartoma (BFH) is a benign adnexal tumor with a wide spectrum of clinical appearance and is characterized histologically by the presence of branching cords and thin strands of undifferentiated anasomosing, basaloid proliferations that are embedded in a fibrous stroma. We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with multiple BFH. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of multiple BFH in the Korean literature.

PURPOSE: To analyze the incidence and influencing factors of residual forefoot adduction after clubfoot-surgery. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A total of 133 clubfeet of 94 patients that had been surgically treated more than 3 years ago were followed up. For comparison purposes, we divided them into 3 groups. The first group was treated using a one-stage posteromedial release (PMR, 84 feet), the second group by posterolateral release (PLR, 34 feet), and the third group by medial release and lateral column shortening (Lichtblau, 34 feet). The forefoot adduction was characterized by Bleck's method and the effects of influencing factors, such as sex, laterality, methods of operation, and age at the time of operation were examined. Preoperative and postoperative calcaneocuboidal angles were also measured. RESULT: 40.2% of residual forefoot adduction was observed. Persistent grade 2 calcaneocuboidal malalignment showed 81.4% residual forefoot adduction. Forefoot adduction was unlikely to persist following posteromedial release procedure in the 1 to 2 year old age group. CONCLUSION: Age at the time of operation and the correction of calcaneocuboidal malalignment were significant factors for the development of residual forefoot adduction.

Background and Objective: Food security is achieved when the population at all times has access to safe, sufficient, and nutritious food to sustain a healthy and active life. This study aimed to determine the significant association between household food security and the prevalence of stunting among preschool children in Occidental Mindoro.

Methods: This study utilized a cross- sectional study design and a three-level, multi-stage, stratified random sampling to answer the study objectives. A total of 480 preschool children (n=240 urban; n= 240 rural) were included in the study. The Radimer-Cornell Tool was used to determine the food security status of the household. A validated- constructed questionnaire was used to determine other factors which were controlled in this study. Multiple Logistic Regression was used to determine significant association between the exposure and the outcome variable while controlling the confounding variable simultaneously.

Results: This study revealed that the prevalence of food insecurity in the province was 51.04% (95% CI: 46.55, 55.53) while the prevalence of stunting was 36.04% (95%CI: 31.73, 40.35). Meanwhile, after controlling the confounding effect of household income and low dietary diversity score it was found that the odds of having a stunted child were 23 times higher among food insecure households (OR: 23.00, 95%CI: 12.05, 43.91).

Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the magnitude of household food insecurity and stunting were
found to be very high in the study areas. There was a significant association between household food security
and stunting among preschool children.
