Fever is a normal reaction of the body to fight infections. In the face of this symptom, there so not to worry.

Fever is primarily a physiological mechanism of defense against infectious diseases that has beneficial effects for fighting infections, reducing the proliferation of viruses and bacteria and increasing the ability of white blood cells to respond to infection. This is the witness of immune defenses started against an infectious agent. In principle we should not fight against nosmecanismes defense, but against only its excesses and its inconveniences.

If your child is 40 ° C of fever, this does not necessarily mean that his illness is serious... The importance of the fever doesn't have a direct correlation with the severity of the disease. However, when fever is high, there is more chance that the infection is bacterial.

Fever is responsible for seizures?

No, this isn't the fever that is directly involved. Seizures are a consequence of the disease in a child often genetically predisposed. Medicines that lower fever do not prevent the occurrence of seizures.

If I don't give anything, the fever will go up?

No, it's the body that goes spontaneously limit the importance of fever. It is for this reason that fever oscillates during an illness.

It is by the fever I accelerate healing?

No, fever is a consequence of the disease, not its cause.

I bring down a fever at all costs?

No, fever is the ally of your child, not your enemy. It testifies to the start-up of its defenses. It is not dangerous. Fever can be respected, it is uncomfortable to be addressed.

Conversely, there are two important questions to ask when a child has a fever.

• What disease is the cause of this fever? Indeed, fever is the result of a disease. If your child is less than three months, should be consulted quickly in case of fever. After this age, the consultation is necessary when your child's behaviour is changed, when the fever is very high or prolonged.

When a child has a fever, should • ease the pain at all costs? For this a systematic treatment is not warranted (a child can have a fever and not feel bad). Medicines that lower fever are especially useful for their analgesic power and comfort they provide.

What treatment focus on fever?

The first thing to do is to measure your child's temperature before considering treatment. Touching his forehead, it is not very accurate, you need to use an electronic thermometer, preferably rectally.

If it shows 38 ° C, this means that the child has a fever. From 38.5 ° C, and if he feels obviously badly, we can start by adopting a few simple steps to relieve him. Strip him, give him to drink regularly and ventilate the room. A lukewarm bath or worse frozen are unadvised because this could exacerbate his feeling of discomfort.

If the temperature continues to rise, you can then use 3 types of medicines: paracetamol, aspirin and, if your child to more than 3 months, ibuprofen. In self-medication, it is paracetamol which is recommended as first-line.

Aspirin is no longer or almost most used because it had been involved in a form of liver failure in children, including in the case of chicken pox or flu. About ibuprofen, assumed in France that it exposes a little more side effects, including a risk of bacterial superinfection has more important in the case of chicken pox and kidney failure in case of dehydration.

In all cases, must use only one drug at a time, making sure to observe the doses based on weight and age and the time between which is usually 6 hours.

In the event that in spite of these medicines, the fever holds on for over 3 days or that your tyke doesn't feel truly awful, you should counsel a speciali

If their language or their behaviour is inappropriate in the classroom, give them tasks such as the choice of a hymn, reading a poem or other things to do more structured.

A promising exploratory treatment for Alzheimer's malady

Based on a U.S. study, two clinical trials around a nontoxic molecule are launched with 3000 participants. Treatment could be sold within the next two to three years

An experimental treatment for Alzheimer's disease has proved potentially promising and without toxic effects, according to the results of a small clinical trial published Wednesday. A drug may be placed on the market within the next two to three years

The study, published in the American medical journal Science Translational Medicine, opened the way to two more extensive clinical trials are underway with nearly 3000 participants.

A molecule, called verubecestat, developed by the American Merck laboratories, reduced the presence of toxic protein beta-amyloid in the brain by blocking an enzyme called BACE1.

In Alzheimer's disease, an incurable neurological degeneration associated with aging, these proteins form plates in this shadowy, which alters the functioning of neurons, affecting cognitive abilities including especially memory.

Treatments already on the market to treat Alzheimer's disease to minimize symptoms of the disease, but none are yet able to stop it or slow its progression.

Clinical trials will be concluded in July 2017

32 the first small clinical trial participants suffered from Alzheimer's disease at early and moderately advanced stages.

Unlike other molecules neutralizing the BACE1 enzyme, developed and tested previously, the verubecestat is not toxic. So she did not cause liver and neurological side effects severe, explains Matthew Kennedy, of the laboratory 

Research of Merck in New Jersey. The researchers measured the effects of this molecule and found that one or more doses of verubecestat could lower harmful levels of beta-amyloid.

Two international clinical trials, called phase 3, to assess the clinical effectiveness of the verubecestat will be completed in July 2017. If the results are conclusive, this treatment in the form of tablets could be placed on the market within the next two to three years.

As indicated by the World Health Organization, more than 36 million individuals worldwide are living with dementia, has a populace of Alzheimer's malady. This number is relied upon to twofold by 2030 and triple by 2050 if no successful treatment is found..
