Hunger in midwestern inner-city children

Article Abstract:

There are some characteristics which may identify risks for childhood hunger, but these may not be far-reaching enough. Housing and homelessness, lack of employment of parent or parents, lack of maternal education, and nonwhite race are indicators. Also the age of the child, older being more likely to suffer hunger. Use of Aid to Families with Dependent Children and food stamps indicated a probability of hunger, but not Special SUpplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).

Epidemiology and molecular identification of Salmonella infections in children

Article Abstract:

There does not seem to be an epidemiological connection between most of the cases of salmonellosis in children under four years of age. Molecular identification done on 90 cases through DNA workups of the Salmonella bacteria showed them not to be related through any common source of food, but the results of individual incidents of contamination. The only exception to the isolated cases was five instances involving 12 patients, and seven of the patients had geographical connections.
