Podiatrist in East Haven, CT Provides Quality Pediatric Foot Care

Dr. Sean Lazarus, East Haven, CT podiatrist, keeps even the littlest feet fit and happy with proper pediatric foot care.

2012-01-25

EAST HAVEN, CT, January 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Leading podiatrist in East Haven, CT, Dr. Sean Lazarus, invites patients to bring their children into one of the five office locations for Center Podiatry, Advanced FootCare Center for superior pediatric foot care. Drs. Gary Grippo and Sean Lazarus urge parents to be cautious of the health of their children's feet to help maintain a healthy, active life style.

"Children with strong, healthy feet avoid many kinds of lower extremity problems later in life. That is why it is important to inspect your children's feet periodically. If a problem is suspected, I encourage you to bring your children into one of our convenient locations for evaluation. It is always our joy to make sure our pediatric patients remain fit, and active with healthy feet," said Dr. Sean Lazarus, Clinton, Orange, Guilford, Higganum and East Haven, CT podiatrist.

The size and shape of an infant's feet change quickly during their first year. Because a baby's feet are flexible, too much pressure or strain can affect the shape of their feet. It's important to allow an infant to kick and stretch their feet freely. Dr. Lazarus, podiatrist in Orange, CT, also suggests that parents make sure their baby's shoes and socks do not squeeze the toes, as this can cause painful foot conditions.

For toddlers, it is important to not force them to walk before they are ready. Once walking begins naturally, watch the toddler's gait. Many toddlers have a pigeon-toe gait, which is normal. Some will initially learn to walk landing on their toes instead of their heels, but most children outgrow both of these problems. Drs. Grippo and Lazarus, Clinton, CT podiatrists, inform parents that conditions detected early can be treated more easily than waiting for pain to occur.

The foot's bone structure is well-formed by the time children reach age seven or eight, but if a growth plate (the area where bone growth begins) is injured, the damaged plate may cause the bone to grow oddly. With Drs. Gary Grippo and Sean Lazarus' care, however, the risk of future bone problems is reduced.

Drs. Gary Grippo, DPM and Sean Lazarus, DPM urge parents to check their child's show size often, making sure there is space between the toes and the end of the shoe and that the shoes are roomy enough to allow the toes to move freely. Whether children are experiencing heel pain in East Haven, CT, flatfeet or any other conditions, Drs. Grippo and Lazarus invite parents to bring their children into one of their convenient office locations for exceptional pediatric foot care.

Patterns of antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in Galapagos reptiles

2012-01-25

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Land and marine iguanas and giant tortoises living close to human settlements or tourist sites in the Galápagos islands are more likely to harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria than those living in more remote or protected sites on the islands, researchers report in a new study. Feces collected at several different sites from free-living reptiles harbored Escherichia coli bacteria that were resistant to ampicillin, doxycycline, tetracycline, and trimethoprin/sulfamethoxazole. Another bacterial species collected from the feces, Salmonella enterica, was ...

Compounds in mate tea induce death in colon cancer cells

2012-01-25

URBANA – Could preventing colon cancer be as simple as developing a taste for yerba mate tea? In a recent University of Illinois study, scientists showed that human colon cancer cells die when they are exposed to the approximate number of bioactive compounds present in one cup of this brew, which has long been consumed in South America for its medicinal properties. "The caffeine derivatives in mate tea not only induced death in human colon cancer cells, they also reduced important markers of inflammation," said Elvira de Mejia, a U of I associate professor of food chemistry ...

IU study: Socioeconomic status more influential than race in determination of child abuse

Nature Materials study: Graphene 'invisible' to water

2012-01-25

Troy, N.Y. – Graphene is the thinnest material known to science. The nanomaterial is so thin, in fact, water often doesn't even know it's there. Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rice University coated pieces of gold, copper, and silicon with a single layer of graphene, and then placed a drop of water on the coated surfaces. Surprisingly, the layer of graphene proved to have virtually no impact on the manner in which water spreads on the surfaces. Results of the study were published Sunday in the journal Nature Materials. The findings ...
