Saving children on a budget
WASHINGTON,) -- More should be invested in
low-cost, low-tech interventions that save babies' lives,
global health advocates said at a news conference Wednesday
in Washington, D.C. "Most of the 10 million children who
die each year die from very common infectious diseases,"
said Peter Salama, chief of health at UNICEF. "But most of
that basket of diseases has no dedicated global fund," he
told United Press International. Of those 10 million
children under age five who die, 4 million die in the
first month of life, according to the World Health
Organization. Many of those deaths are from preventable
causes like malnutrition, malaria and diarrhea. By allo-
cating funding to interventions that give the most bang
for the buck, two-thirds of all child deaths could be
prevented, Salama said.

Chinese youth dies of bird flu
BEIJING, -- Chinese health authorities Wednesday confirmed
a 16-year-old boy had died of bird flu. The official Xinhua
news agency reported the youth -- who had lived in the east-
ern Anhui province -- died Tuesday night after developing
symptoms of fever, muscle aches and pneumonia 11 days ago.
He was sent to a hospital March 18 but he could not be
saved, a health spokesman said. Subsequent tests showed
the patient was infected with the bird flu virus strain
H5N1. Local health authorities were monitoring those who had
come in close contact with the patient and said that, thus
far, no new cases have been reported, Xinhua said. Reports
on the death of the youth have been sent to the World Health
Organization and health agencies in Hong Kong, Macao and
Taiwan, authorities said.

Beef may cause lower sperm count
LONDON, -- A study has revealed that women
who eat beef regularly during pregnancy are more likely to
produce sperm-deprived sons. The report, which was published
Wednesday in the United States, came after Copenhagen
University researchers concluded that sperm counts in boys
have been falling since about 10 years ago and exposure to
pesticides and industrial chemicals are thought to be a part
of the problem, Britain's Telegraph reported. One of the
most likely candidates for the low sperm count are the
"gender- bender" chemicals that act like the human sex
hormones and are used to stimulate growth in cattle. The
study was done using men living in the Unites States who
were born between 1949 and 1983. The study proved that the
mothers who ate more than seven beef meals a week produced
children with a sperm concentration of more than 24 percent
lower than in men whose mothers ate less beef. Professor
Shanna Swan, head of the study published in the journal
Human Reproduction, said: "These findings suggest that
maternal beef consumption is associated with lower sperm
concentration and possible sub-fertility, associations that
may be related to the presence of anabolic steroids and
other xenobiotics (foreign chemicals) in beef."
