The American Heart Association tries to playground equipment raise awareness of strokes in children.

"At two weeks, he couldn't turn his head to the right. At two months, he was clearly left-handed," Spear said. "He was walking at 13 months but was falling because he couldn't pick up his right foot. He would go in circles."

Spear, who lives in St. Louis, took Brendon for several examinations, and finally, when he was 19 months old, to a neurologist for a brain scan. She learned that Brendon had the neuromuscular disorder cerebral palsy -- due to a stroke he had suffered in the uterus.

"It was devastating because one, you never hear of inflatable bouncers stroke in children, and two, it took so long to get a diagnosis," Spear said.

"I thought, 'why the heck didn't someone tell me this long before now?' We would have had a diagnosis at six months and Brendon would not be denied the therapies he needed... I felt very isolated as a parent."

Stroke Is Rare But Does Occur in Kids

Although cases of pediatric stroke are rare, stroke occurs with two to four times more frequency in children and teenagers than was previously thought, according to a new study just published online in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.

Prior estimates for rates of childhood stroke were between 0.54 and 1.2 cases per 100,000 children in the U.S. But analysis of 2.3 million children's hospital records in California by researchers at the University of California at San Francisco showed the naughty castles rate of childhood stroke to be 2.4 cases per 100,000 children.

Researchers felt the higher rate of pediatric stroke was due to improper coding or typing errors in medical records.

Vinette Harris said doctors were surprised when her 15-year-old son Paul Meikle, an avid athlete who played football, basketball and ran track, landed in the emergency room this summer with slurred speech and a drooping left eye.

• Monday 21 September 2009 - Medical School Reinvented: Compassion

Miami - At the start of the new school year, a dream is finally coming true for Hanadys Ale.
Photo: Medical school reinvented: Adding lessons in compassion: The education of doctors puts new focus on patients' cultural diversity and serving communities in need.
The curriculum at Florida International University will pearl pendant pair each student with a low-income family facing barriers to healthcare.

She has wanted a career in medicine since girlhood, when she saw how compassionately a doctor treated her grandmother at their home in Cuba. But she interrupted her medical studies to move to Miami with her family. Now, having mastered English, she's back on track as one of 43 students in the inaugural class of the new medical school at Florida International University (FIU).

But the curriculum here is no conventional training, representing one of the most thorough reinventions of medical education in a century.

Known as NeighborhoodHELP, it will pair each student with a low-income family facing barriers to health care. With teams of fellow students from nursing and social work, the aspiring doctors will observe and support the families throughout their years in medical school. Alongside more traditional medical lessons, they'll get steady doses related to freshwater pearl pendant ethics, cultural understanding, and public-health policy.

Ms. Ale says, in a phone interview, that she was drawn to this program at FIU because it emphasizes serving communities in need. "It's changing the way medicine is seen in the United States, so we are like double pioneers," she says of her class.

Medical education in the United States is in a period of expansion, with at least a dozen new schools under development and classes expanding at more than 100 existing schools.

"This opening of new medical schools ... [is] an opportunity for innovation and experimentation," says George Thibault of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation in New York. Many medical schools still reflect standards set after a 1910 report by Abraham Flexner, he says, and while those standards are essential, they have not kept pace with changing technology and demographics.

FIU's approach exemplifies many freshwater pearl pendant recommendations made in a Macy report last year, including a focus on the needs of society rather than of the profession, Dr. Thibault says.
