Why should we treat adolescents differently than adults?

MCH - OB/GYN Chief Clinical Coordinator's Corner
In natural history studies of adolescents with newly acquired HPV infection, the average length of detectable HPV is 13 months. In most adolescent patients with an intact immune system, an HPV infection will resolve within 24 months. Further evidence that the HPV infection will resolve without treatment comes from the high rates of resolution of CIN 1 and CIN 2, 70% and 50% respectively.

Why do adolescents need more vitamins than adults?

DSM Nutritional Products North America - FAQ - Home
The adolescent growth spurt marks a time when the body requires both more energy (Calories) and a greater quantity of essential vitamins and minerals. However, erratic eating habits, snacking, meal-skipping, eating an excessive amount of "junk" food, unsupervised dieting, or developing an eating disorder may prevent some teens from reaching this nutritional goal. If an adolescent eats a balanced diet, vitamin supplements are not needed.

People with colds are likely to have sneezing and a runny nose and sore throat, and the symptoms come on more gradually.

Will people see or treat me differently if I have an abortion?

Education For Choice : FAQs
Abortion is much more common than most people realise – by the time they are 45 more than a quarter of women in Britain will have experienced an abortion. So though they may not know it, everyone knows someone who’s had one. However, people hold strong opinions about abortion, so the reaction a person gets may not always be supportive. This might be because some people think abortion is wrong in principle, or because they have a very different view about a particular situation.

Are cases involving children treated differently in court than cases involving adults?

FAQs - Medical Malpractice

Adults must bring their medical malpractice claims within two years, but, for children, the statute of limitations is tolled until they are 18 unless they have a legal guardian appointed.

Should I treat my bottles any differently in cold weather?

FAQ's
YES! As the weather turns chilly it is important to move your bottles into a warm area. As water freezes it will expand causing the bottles to warp and split. Bottle deposits are not refunded for damaged bottles due to freezing. Additionally, freezing will cause the calcium to precipitate, falling out of solution and appearing as white flakes in the water. Despite the significant size of Flamboro Springs' bottles, if left outside during the cold months the spring water will freeze.
