FROM: http://www.cdc.gov/Features/dsSickleCell_ED_Visits/ Between 1999 and 2007, approximately 197,333 sickle cell disease ED visits occurred each year. 
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder
characterized by the production of an altered type of hemoglobin by
those affected by the disease. When sickle cell hemoglobin deoxygenates
while passing through blood vessels, it polymerizes and becomes
fibrous-like causing the red blood cell to become rigid and change
shape, appearing sickle shaped. The altered red blood cells can clog
blood vessels resulting in lack of oxygen to tissues and causing pain.

FROM: http://www.webmd.com/add-adhd/guide/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is also known as
hyperactivity or attention deficit disorder (ADD). ADHD is a common condition
that affects children and adolescents, while ADD is more common in adults.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that 3% to 5% of
children have ADHD. Some experts, though, says ADHD may occurs in 8% to 10% of
school age children. Experts also question whether kids really outgrow ADHD.
What that means is that this disorder may be more common in adults than
previously thought.
Children with ADHD generally have problems paying attention or
concentrating. They can't seem to follow directions and are easily bored or
frustrated with tasks. They also tend to move constantly and are impulsive, not
stopping to think before they act. These behaviors are generally com

Methadone is a heroin substitute used to treat withdrawal symptoms
Cambodia has launched the country's first methadone-treatment programme, in a new approach to help heroin users.
The World Health Organization (WHO) told the BBC that
addiction was widely viewed in Cambodia as a social problem, rather than
a health issue.
Until now the government has favoured treatment centres which emphasise hard work and exercise.
But health workers and human rights grou

BANGKOK, Sep 21 , 2010 (IPS) - Cambodia’s partial success in reducing child mortality rates
has exposed a fault line of inequity, one that underscores the
advantage that the country’s urban population has had over the
rural poor.
Yet the South-east Asian kingdom, 35 percent of whose 14
million population live below the poverty line, is not alone
in having this mixed record of reducing child mortality, say
child rights experts.
Some of the other countries in the region reflect a
similar trend 10 years after world leaders committed to meet
a set of eight targets to help the world’s poor by 2015. The
fourth of the eight U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
seeks to achieve a two-thirds reduction in child mortality
rates by 2015.
"To be fair to governments in South-east Asia, chil
