One-Mile Run Performance and Cardiovascular Fitness in Children

Article Abstract:

Schools run endurance tests, for example of one mile, to determine cardiovascular fitness of children, which they define as maximum oxygen consumption, but in fact, cardiovascular fitness accounts for only a small portion of the differences in speed. In a one mile race, the difference in performance between 36 boys averaging 12.2 years old was attributable 31% to body fat and only 28% to cardiovascular ability to consume oxygen. The body fat, amounting to extra weight to carry, was more significant, minimizing the presumed conclusion the test was supposed to prove.

Oral Condylomata in Children

Article Abstract:

Some children with sores inside their mouths may have condylomata acuminata. Condylomata acuminata is also called genital warts and is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts most often occur on the genital and rectal areas. Since they are most often transmitted sexually, child sexual abuse should be suspected in all children who have these warts inside their mouth. Three case studies are described to illustrate the challenges in treating these children. All three were treated with carbon dioxide pulse laser, but the warts can still recur.
