There are risks with any surgery, especially major surgery like this. Risks include:
Many tests are done before the heart transplant. These tests include blood tests that will make it more likely that the donor heart will not be rejected. Other tests are done to make sure your child and your family are emotionally ready for the transplant. Your child will need your support during this process.
If your child is a good candidate for a heart transplant, he or she will be put on the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) list. Sometimes children wait only a few days or weeks before getting a donor organ. It may also take months or years before a suitable donor organ is available. During this time, your child's healthcare provider and the transplant team will closely follow your child. You can also get help from support groups during this difficult waiting time.
Each transplant team has its own guidelines about how you will be told when a donor organ is available. In most cases, you will be called when an organ is available. You will be told to come to the hospital right away so your child can get ready the transplant. This call can come at any time, so you should always be ready to go to the hospital.
Once at the hospital, your child will have tests to confirm the match of the organ. Once the test results are available and your child is ready, he or she will go to the operating room. The transplant surgery may take 4 or more hours. The time it takes depends on many things. During the surgery, a member of the transplant team will tell you about the progress of the transplant. The general steps of heart transplant surgery are:
After the surgery, your child will go to the intensive care unit (ICU) to be watched closely. The length of time your child will spend in the ICU will vary. After your child is stable, he or she will be sent to the cardiac unit. Your child will continue to be watched closely. Your transplant team will help you learn how to care for your child during this time. This will include information about medicines, activity, follow-up, diet, and any other specific instructions from your child's transplant team.
Rejection is a normal reaction of the body to a foreign object. The body's immune system makes antibodies to try to destroy the new organ. Medicines (antirejection) are used to help prevent this from happening.
These are the most common signs and symptoms of rejection:
Your child's transplant team will tell you who to call immediately if any of these symptoms happen.
Your child will need to take antirejection medicines for the rest of his or her life.
Because antirejection medicines weaken the immune system, children who get transplants will be at higher risk for infections. Your child will have blood tests to measure the level of antirejection medicine. For example, blood tests will be done to check white blood cell counts.
The risk for infection is higher during in the first few months after surgery. This is because higher doses of antirejection medicines are given during this time. Your child will most likely take medicines to prevent other infections from happening. Your child is at increased risk for infections such as oral yeast infections (thrush), herpes, and respiratory viruses.
Your child will be closely followed after leaving the hospital. Follow-up visits may include:
Your child will need lifelong follow-up with transplant specialists. Make sure you keep all appointments. It is especially important that you report any signs of rejection right away.

Bush's veto of SCHIP bill: 5 letters
Thank you for your editorial and strong support for SCHIP. With
9 million children in this country still uninsured, it is a moral
disgrace to veto or not support this bill. The objections raised by
the Republicans just don't hold water. Read more…


text:
Just under the wire last week, the State Senate was able to pass a bill to make reforms to the Queens Library that would open up the books and make the Board of Trustees more accountable.
But that's only half the story. There were actually two competing bills in the State Senate, one sponsored by State Senator Michael Gianaris and one by State Senator Tony Avella, which had several more provisions than the Gianaris bill, which was co-sponsored by Assemblyman Jeff Aubrey.
Given the slightly bizarre power-sharing arrangement between the Republicans in the State Senate and a group of five Democrats – the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) – who work with them, it wasn't certain that Gianaris would have the political capital to get his bill to the floor for a vote during a chaotic last few days before the legislative session closed.
Avella, on the other hand, is a member of the IDC, so he has the political relationships to get a bill to the floor for a vote, but he wasn't completely on board with the Gianaris/Aubrey bill because he didn't think it went far enough in reforming the library system.
Let the political wrangling begin.
Things got little heated between the three pols last week, and you can read some of their strong statements in an article on our website. In the end, however, a compromise was reached and Avella took credit for brokering the deal and getting the bill passed. But others suggested that the bill that was passed wasn't much different than the bill Gianaris and Aubrey originally proposed.
So, even after all of the controversy over the two bills was overcome, there was still plenty of controversy over who did the most work and who gets the credit. To clear some of that up, we randomly received in our inbox a short Youtube clip of Gianaris thanking Avella (seated in the background) for all of his hard work on the bill.
Case settled, now we can all just sit back and enjoy our summer break!

The tools let users see and work with "near real-time" information about course registrants—minus personally identifying details—from 193 countries. A Harvard news release says the tools "showcase the potential promise" of data generated by MOOCs. The aggregated data sets that the tools use can be also downloaded.
The suite of tools, named Insights, was created by Sergiy Nesterko, a research fellow in HarvardX, the university's instructional-technology office, and Daniel Seaton, a postdoctoral research fellow at MIT's Office of Digital Learning. Mr. Nesterko said the tools "can help to guide instruction while courses are running and deepen our understanding of the impact of courses after they are complete."

|By 2016, around 12.4 million Filipinos would be unemployed, underemployed, or would have to work or create work for themselves in the low pay informal sector by selling goods like many seen here in Quiapo, Manila.
The Philippines faces an enormous jobs challenge. Good jobs—meaning jobs that raise real wages or bring people out of poverty—needed to be provided to 3 million unemployed and 7 million underemployed Filipinos—that is those who do not get enough pay and are looking for more work—as of 2012.
In addition, good jobs need to be provided to around 1.15 million Filipinos who will enter the labor force every year from 2013 to 2016. That is a total of 14.6 million jobs that need to be created through 2016.
Did you know that every year in the last decade, only 1 out of every 4 new jobseeker gets a good job? Of the 500,000 college graduates every year, roughly half or only 240,000 are absorbed in the formal sector such as business process outsourcing (BPO) industry (52,000), manufacturing (20,000), and other industries such as finance and real estate.
Around 200,000 new job seekers find work abroad, and around 60,000 will join the ranks of the unemployed, go back to school, or rely on financial support from family for the time being.
This still leaves 600,000 new jobseekers who have no choice but to work in the low-skill and low-pay informal sector in rural and urban areas.
Higher growth can provide more Filipino workers with good jobs. With sustained GDP growth of 7 percent per year and the removal of constraints in fast growing sectors (e.g., addressing skills shortages so that the BPO industry can accelerate its annual growth from 20 to 30 percent), the formal sector will be able to provide good jobs to around 2 million people in the next 4 years - that is double the current figure.
Even so, the majority of Filipino workers will still be left out. By 2016, around 12.4 million Filipinos would still be unemployed, underemployed, or would have to work or create work for themselves in the low pay informal sector such as selling goods in sari-sari stores (small retail stores) and peddling on the streets, and driving tricycles and pedicabs.
Addressing this jobs challenge requires meeting a dual challenge: expanding formal sector employment even faster, while rapidly raising the incomes of those informally employed.
To create good jobs for the 12.4 million, a comprehensive package of reform is needed to create a business environment that is conducive for the private sector to create jobs and increase human capital. Reforms that will secure property rights, open the economy to more competition, simplify business regulations, and increase investments in health, education, and infrastructure are needed.
But will the private sector have the incentive to invest and create jobs for the 12.4 million Filipinos who are left out of the fast growing formal sector?
What do you think is key to creating more and better jobs in the country? Creating jobs for millions is a daunting task, but perhaps we can agree to start somewhere.
Join the Conversation
We want more Filipinos to invest in the Philippines. We also want more Foreign investment in the Philippines. These are some of the things we can do to make ourselves competitive to investors, both local and foreign.
1. Fix Labor Laws in the Philippines. We baby employees. We make it hard for employers to get rid of inefficient, unproductive, dishonest, employees. Study Labor Laws in other countries, employers and employees must be responsible, we have to mature as a society. We have such populist, leftist laws that do not foster a competitive environment in the workplace. We like to enable lazy and dishonest employees.
2. Make it easier for people to start businesses. So much red tape!
3. Have more skilled people. Gov should make learning accessible. While it's true that we can't force people to work if they don't want to, but for those who do want to work, aid should be there. More learning in trade skills and crafts. Carpentry, Plumbing, Electricals, Sewing, Masonry, etc. SKILLS THAT WILL ADD MUCH HIGHER VALUE AND HELPS IN NATION BUILDING.
i totally agree with you. pnoy should transfer lawmaker's pork to tesda, ched and dep ed to boost education.
i can't understand why pork barrel has to be donated to some ngo, but please don't be mistaken about ngo. actualyy ngo's are good support to peoples' plight and condition they are a big help to the marginalized. but, pork barrel is intended for philippine development such as infrastructures, school buildings in remote areas, salaries for low-professionals income working in rural, uptown, marginalized areas of our country. they can utilize pork barrel for more concrete assitance to education, health and expansion of social benefits and program for the Filipinos. why not make a comprehensive review and planning. these will mhelp and make our country a low-poverty land. if only our political leaders will have these social-consciousness of helping alleviate the conditon of our people. imagine such grand billion of pesos just drained to personal luxury and so-called "ngo donation!" i want to directly addressed this to Pinoy and to all senators and congressmen/women of our country. please be unselfish... think Filipino!... think our people!.
The NGOs started as a good solution to corruption and inefficiency in governmental services. Certain tasks are better done by private individuals with good motives. But unregulated and unchecked, corruption just transferred from the government agency to the private NGOs. The solution is to identify the legitimate, well meaning, effective and efficient NGOs and for Government to transact only with such NGOs. But the question being asked is how to create jobs or broadly how to have inclusive and environmentally friendly economic growth. I still believe our country has still untapped forestry and agricultural areas that needs development.
It is because, the government has no programs on job creations , there are a lot of graduates every year and the government has no programs for them., It is frustrating for the graduates that the reality is? They can't find a job.
PUBLIC Funds should not be given to lawmakers as pork barrel..Should be used by legit government agencies to build much-needed legit infrastructures around the country..to decongest land and air traffic..to give road ar safe access to isolated schools..to create & sustain healthcare facilities..to create much-needed classrooms..thereby giving thousands & thousands of professional & skilled Filipinos the much-needed job in their home country..
The Philippines could utilize tourism (such as eco-tourism) as one of its main drivers of growth in the short-term. Not only does it create jobs for the thousands of people in far-flung areas, it also is sustainable if done right. However, the government will need to invest a lot (and I mean a lot) in transportation infrastructure and it also needs to address safety issues in some areas across the Philippines.
Let us look at the labour market model of other countries especially those that promote full employment. A closer study on the mechanics of dealing with the demand and supply of labor leading to closer collaboration of industries and the academe. This calls for an active role of the tripartite sector to recommend enabling policies and monitor results of their efforts.
In some point, the contractualization (5 months work limit) has commodified the human capital at the expense of sacrificing labour rights. While this country needs investors to boost growth, total development should not sacrifice labour power of Filipinos which is the major reason why a multi-billion BPO industry wanted to settle here....Jobless professionals, high growth of informal workers, unemployed youth,lack of opportunities for women .. it is time for the government to review existing programs, current labour market interventions. Findings must be towards redirecting labor policies to address helplessness....
The Philippines have so many denuded mountains and hills. So many hands are required to replant these and take care to see the trees full grown. But how many armies of laborers for reforestation have been formed? The Government is biased towards actions that produce immediate economic returns. Reforestation in the Philippines now have to be planned and executed like one would handle a war. The President must appoint generals to wage this war for a better environment and more abundant forest resources.
Train Filipinos to become entrepreneurs. Most of our graduates look for jobs instead of creating new businesses. Government should provide access to credit. make microfinancing work through sustainable schemes.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. Indeed, the jobs challenge facing the Philippines is very daunting. The country's long history of policy distortions, characterized by low investments, insecurity of property rights, lack of competition, and complex regulations, which some of you have mentioned, has slowed the growth of agriculture and manufacturing--the two sectors which can provide jobs to the poor.
There is no simple and effortless way to address this jobs challenge, as this is linked to deep-seated, structural issues in the economy. Only a comprehensive reform agenda implemented across a range of sectors can foster a business environment conducive to private sector job creation by firms of all sizes. This also means that government alone cannot fully address this problem. The private sector also has a big role to play.
Fortunately, a unique window of opportunity exists today to accelerate reforms that will help create more and better jobs. All of us--that is the government, business, and labor, with the support of civil society--need to work it out and agree on an agenda on job creation.
Thanks also to all who monitored and joined the online chat on jobs!
Congratulations on the Philippine Development Report 2013 and on the blog that you started. While my comments may be late, I hope they're not too late because the problems of unemployment and underemployment are still very much with us.
I congratulate you on the focus of your Report: Jobs, and not only as employees but also as entrepreneurs.
Thank your for giving best topic.
I watched ANC's On The Money last week and I was so enlightened and impressed by your expertise and perhaps advocacies on how to uplift Filipinos' lives.
I was a private employee for 15 years and just started my own company. It's so sad to note that until now the company hasn't started its operation yet due to some business documents requirements. I condemned "red tape" so much and maybe that's the reason.:-)
Looking forward of your next guesting on ANC or any other stations. Hope to be notified.
Thanks and more power to you!

College and graduate school years can be fascinating, creative, but also stressful. Students have several challenges and stresses to deal with, such as academic pressure, decision making, and taking up new roles and responsibilities. It is a period of life important to the discovery of one's identity, developing and maintaining relationships with important others, and frequently, students may need to deal with losses, handle new academic demands, and deal with their own differentness and how others perceive them.
The University of Cyprus provides counseling and psychological support services for all its students through the Office for Psychological Support. The primary aim of this service is to contribute to the personal development and well-being of students, so as to enable them to maximize their experience during the course of their studies. At the same time, skills, knowledge, and self-efficacy developed through the process of counseling and psychotherapy can empower students to deal with any personal or professional challenges they will come across after completing their studies.
Services are provided in a safe and confidential setting, where students can freely discuss any concerns they may have about handling difficult situations, emotions, and personal matters. Services are offered through short term individual counseling and psychotherapy sessions. Common concerns for students visiting the center include anxiety and stress, mood and depression, adjusting to academic life, relationships, losses such as grief or separation, as well as academic difficulties and personal or career decisions.
The Office for Psychological Support also organizes presentations, workshops, and discussions on current issues, launches prevention and sensitization campaigns on topics related to psychological health and well-being, and periodically publishes and disseminates relevant informative material. On its website, one can find self-help articles, self-evaluation and screening tools, informational material, as well as links to other voluntary or professional organizations where students can obtain information on specialized matters of interest to them.
All services offered by the Office for Psychological Support are provided free of charge for all students at the University of Cyprus.
