...The term “failure to thrive” has historically been and remains today a broad and multifaceted label referring, in essence, to the inability of a child to flourish and grow due to a wide range of either external or internal factors. Failure to thrive (FTT) can be a somewhat ambiguous and difficult to define term used to address young children with abnormal or insufficient growth patterns. One standardized guideline used in defining FTT is a weight that falls below the 5th percentile (Steward, 2001), although multiple factors must be considered in labelling a child as FTT. Historically, the label of FTT has been divided into two categories: organic failure to thrive, and nonorganic failure to thrive (NFTT). The differentiation refers to the suspected...

...subjecting them to cruel treatment. In fact, it is observed that even as late as mid-twentieth century, industrialized societies still ignored the fact that child neglect and abuse existed (Korbin 1981). However, when renowned pediatrician C. Henry Kempe identified and defined the “child-battered syndrome” in 1960, there was widespread awareness of the factors Kempe identified, particularly the poor clinical condition of children exposed to serious physical abuse (Kemp 1962, p. 1962). Kempe’s findings were reinforced by reports by Dexter Bullard, who along with his colleagues identified “Failure to Thrive” (FTT). This term described a condition in which toddlers and young children fell below the third percentile in height and weight ( I know it is about children developments but explained in one sentence this part) , yet there was no organic explanation for these deficits (Bullard et al. 1967; Frank 1988). Bullard identified that child neglect played an important role in causing FTT. He particularly postulated that an interaction affective problem between mother and child was caused FTT (Bullard et al. 1967, p. 688). While the field of knowledge about childhood adversity continued to thrive through the 1960s, the United States government did not establish law to protect children until the 1970s. This came with the Children Protection and Treatment Act (CAPTA), which criminalized child abuse in all 50 states (Myers 2008). As awareness on the issues affecting children gained international...

...Final Exam Study Guide Important to Know the function of anterior and posterior pituitary gland. Anterior Pituitary Gland: (Adenohypophysis) The anterior pituitary gland regulates several physiological processes including stress, growth, reproduction and lactation (Adrenal, liver, bone, thryroid and gonads). -It is regulated by negative feedback and the hypothalamus. Major hormones: ACTH: Stimulates the adrenal cortex. TSH: Thyroid stimulating hormone, promotes secretion of thyroid hormone. FSH: Follicle-stimulating hormone, promotes growth of reproductive system. LH: Luteinizing hormone. Promotes sex hormone production GH: Growth hormone, promotes growth, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. PRL: Prolactin, Milk production and progesterone/estrogen. -Hormones are secreted from the hypothalamus to the A. Pituitary so these hormones can be released. Posterior Pituitary Gland: Mainly axons extended from the hypothalamus. These axons contain and release neurohypophysial hormones oxytocin and vasopressin. Oxytocin: Targets the uterus, and mammary glands causing contractions and lactation. Vasopressin (ADH): Antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin, argipressin. Stimulates water retention absorbs it back into blood causing raises blood pressure by contracting arterioles, and inducing male aggression.
