Offriamo servizi relativi a documenti di viaggio e visti elettronici. Aiutiamo i clienti a essere certi che le informazioni siano corrette prima della successiva approvazione.
E-Visto è un procedimento online offerto come servizio e requisito per l'ingresso in determinati paesi. Il documento che si riceve, una volta fatta la domanda di E-Visto online, è un documento ufficiale. I requisiti variano da paese a paese, ma generalmente includono informazioni personali e informazioni sul passaporto.
In alcuni casi, le aziende che trasportano passeggeri (aria, mare o terra) prevalutano i viaggiatori per verificare che abbiano ottenuto il visto corretto prima dell'imbarco. Si consiglia di fare domanda molto prima di un viaggio imminente, perché l'elaborazione dell'E-Visto può richiedere fino a 72 ore.
I nostri prodotti e servizi sono offerti ai viaggiatori che vogliono un procedimento di domanda online senza problemi, nonché guide ai visti "fai da te". Ci sforziamo di arrivare alla perfezione in tutti gli aspetti della nostra attività. Il nostro sito web è di proprietà di una società privata che lo gestisce, e non è affiliato, né deve essere confuso, con alcun governo.
Lavoriamo ad alta velocità e i clienti possono aspettarsi da noi un servizio accelerato. Il nostro team di esperti elaboratori assicura che tutte le domande di visto elettronico siano debitamente completate prima dell'ulteriore approvazione. Siamo distribuiti a livello globale e ti aiuteremo con le tue richieste 24/7 via email.
By using our website, you are automatically agreeing to the Terms and Conditions as defined below. Please read the following carefully before continuing to use our website.
For clarity, the following phrases and words are defined as shown below when used in the context of our Terms and Conditions:
We grant you, the user, access on a limited basis provided the following limitations are respected:
It is the sole responsibility of any traveler to find out whether a visa is required for you to visit another country before you travel. Depending upon your nationality and personal history, you may be eligible to apply for a US travel authorization (ESTA - Electronic System for Travel Authorization) when visiting the USA. To obtain an ESTA you must provide certain details about yourself, your passport and your reason for visiting the country.
Our website provides online application forms with all the questions you will need to answer in order to submit an application for ESTA. Part of our specialized service is to review the answers you provide, along with your information, before we process and submit the application on your behalf. If we need any additional information or notice anything that may jeopardize your application, we will contact you by email. Please note that any verification of information will delay the processing period.
Once we have ascertained that the information you have provided is valid and complete, we submit your application to the US government department for approval. If for any reason your application cannot be submitted for processing, we will inform you and refund your payment in full.
As a part of our service, we may edit the addresses submitted to match an international standardized address format required by the US government. The addresses edited on the Travel Authorization (ESTA) may be shown under CONTACT INFORMATION, TRAVEL INFORMATION and EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION. We will further utilize a verified email address to lodge your application on the US government portal, which you can later change at any time. By submitting your application you consent to these changes in your application.
To receive a response to your ESTA application can take up to 72 hours. However, we advise all travelers to begin the ESTA application process as soon as possible, and at least 7 days before your departure in order to allow time for any unforeseen delays or problems.
We offer to process and review electronic travel authorization applications for visits to the USA. Please note that our company and website are privately owned and operated. They are not connected with any government department, agency or bureau. During the online application process, there are several fields which are mandatory to complete in order to submit a complete travel authorization (ESTA) application for review and processing. All visitors to our website have the option of lodging their applications directly on the official government portal without our assistance. The application cost for a US travel authorization is currently USD $ 14,00 charged directly by the US government. By providing us with your data to complete our service, you warrant that you are over the age of 16 or have parental/guardian consent to submit the application on our website.
It is the sole responsibility of any traveler to comply with all requirements regarding their visit to a foreign country. You are required to answer all questions honestly and fully when making your travel authorization (ESTA) application. If any information is incorrect, you may not be allowed to board a flight or vessel, or you may be refused entry to your intended destination country. In this instance our company cannot be held liable for any subsequent costs or inconveniences.
There is no charge to access our website, view our products/services or ask questions. However, we do charge for verifying, processing and reviewing applications. Before you start an ESTA application, we will clearly inform of the service fee and total price. All individual travel authorization (ESTA) applications processed are charged at USD $ 88,00 each, which includes the US government mandatory fee of USD $ 14,00. For verifying and reviewing existing travel authorizations, we charge a service fee of USD $ 39,00. There are no other fees charged. By completing the steps and clicking on the payment button, you agree to the fee charged by our company. Payment can only be made by credit or debit cards. All major brands are accepted including Visa and MasterCard. The cost of the service or product will be charged in U.S. dollars ($). Cards in currencies other than U.S. dollars will have our charge converted using the bank's exchange rate. The transaction may also incur additional fees or card-use charges levied by the card provider. We have no influence over such additional fees.
All orders made on our website consist of a mandatory application process with questions and payment information that must be completed by all customers. These actions can only be made by the customer who submits the order him/herself, or on behalf of the traveler. We accept the offer to process the travel authorization once the complete application and payment are submitted. The order is accepted by us once we dispatch the email with the approved travel authorization. Purchasing our processing service indicates that the Terms and Conditions are accepted. This contract can be concluded in English or the language selected when completing the order. You have the option to withdraw from this contract by formally informing us in writing by contacting us after payment is made.
By providing us with one or more phone numbers during the application process, you are consenting to receive phone communication related to the processing services offered on the website. The telephone communication can be in form of text messages, customer service calls, prerecorded and/or artificial voice message calls. Calls and messages may incur additional fees by your cellular provider. We will never sell or use your phone number(s) for any other purposes. The phone number(s) you provide is solely used to support the processing request and deleted permanently once no longer needed.
We utilize a web analysis tool to improve our services, optimize the website, and better understand the actions of users when visiting our domain. Such statistical data is considered 'non-identifying' and can include the browser version, screen resolution, time of visit, referring site and similar type of generic information. When you use our website, you automatically consent to all such collecting, processing, and transmission of non-identifying data
We collect identifying data provided by you on a voluntary basis during the application form on our website. We require this information/data in order to review and process your travel authorization (ESTA). You consent to data processing upon pressing the appropriate button or making the appropriate mark on the application form. The data you provide will only be used to process the travel authorization (ESTA). Our company will not use your data for any other reasons unless legally required. Your information will be deleted from our database once the service is concluded and no longer deemed necessary to keep for customer service reasons.
If for any reason we are unable to process your application, you may submit another application using a different service provider. Alternatively, you may visit the relevant government website and submit an application yourself. The final decision to approve or reject any ESTA or E-visa application lies entirely with each government. If your application is denied, we recommend that you get in touch with the embassy or consulate representing the country you wish to visit. They will advise of how to obtain a regular visitor visa. This process may take longer than a regular E-visa application. Extra time should be allowed for possible delay.
In exceptional circumstances, a government may choose to withdraw approval for an Electronic Travel Authorization (E-visa or ESTA) after it has been approved. In certain situations, approved authorizations are changed the status of from 'Approved' to 'Not authorized to visit with an E-visa'. Even if your application is approved, it is only an authorization to travel. It does not guarantee entry into the country you are intending to visit. The final decision lies with the Customs and Immigration Officer when you arrive at the port of entry. We cannot take any responsibility for any losses incurred if a decision is made to decline or withdraw approval for you to enter a country. We cannot be held liable for any costs or claims resulting from such a change of status decision.

text: Thursday, April 26, 2012 Fewer Workers Offered, Accept Employer-based Coverage Since 2002 the percentage of workers with health care coverage has been declining, mostly because fewer workers have access to coverage, says a new issue brief by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Both the offer rate (the percentage of workers offered health benefits) and the coverage rate for employment-based health benefits declined between 1997 and 2010. Between 1997 and 2010, the percentage of workers offered health benefits from their employers decreased from 70.1% to 67.5%, and the percentage of workers covered by those plans decreased from 60.3% to 56.5%. In addition, the percentage of workers taking coverage when offered by their employers (take-up rate) declined from 86% in 1997 to 83.6% in 2010. Among the reasons given by respondents who chose not to participate in their employer's health plan, 67.9% stated that they were covered by other health insurance in 2010, 29.1% reported that their employer's plan was too costly, and another 2.2% reported either that they did not need insurance or that they did not want insurance. According to the brief, offer rates increase with firm size. In 2010, 39.4% of workers in firms with fewer than 25 employees were offered health benefits, compared with 76.5% in firms with 100 or more employees. Take-up rates, while they vary with firm size, do so much less than offer rates. In 2010, 77.8% of workers in firms with fewer than 25 employees took coverage when it was offered, compared with 84.9% of workers in firms with 100 or more employees. Both offer and take-up rates are higher for full-time employees. As for demographics, men, non-Hispanic workers, and workers with college degrees are more likely to be offered health care benefits.


text: Friday, March 23, 2012 New Podcast: Opportunities for PTs in ACOs In a recently recorded podcast, APTA member Jose Kottoor, PT, MS, provides his perspective of accountable care organizations (ACO) and their relevance to physical therapists. Kottoor addresses strategies to reduce costs by decreasing the length of stay in acute care hospitals, such as early mobility of patients, weekend therapy, evening shifts for therapies, and using telehealth. He also discusses improving outcomes and quality measures, and reducing readmissions. Kotoor wraps up his presentation by highlighting the various opportunities for physical therapists who participate in programs aimed at disease risk management, health promotion, prevention, and fitness, in addition to those that reduce repeat emergency department visits, hospital admissions and readmissions, the incidence of falls, and the need for surgery. A PowerPoint presentation accompanies this podcast.

AFAIK it was said that you could use Cairo as backend for Arthur. That's all. I don't think that TrollTech will provide such a plugin.

Re: Cairo Support
Well, a Cairo backend could certainly be implemented: it's 'just' a matter of subclassing QPaintEngine. Wouldn't it be a step back in terms of speed and functionalities though?

Re: Cairo Support
that would make any sense. cairo and the qt paint engine do the same thing, so using cairo as a backend only would make it slow, nothing more.
didn't qt4 have a (buggy?) opengl backend for rendering in the betas? was that removed for the final release? than it would be a good idea to write a glitz backend for arthur.
By SiberianHotDog at Wed, 2005/12/21 - 6:00am
Re: Cairo Support
Qt has Arthur, it works today and there is simply no reason to use Cairo. Despite much hype Cairo and Glitz will take some time before they are usable. As needs arise Arthur might use Cairo as a backend at some point, but that really depends on whether there's any point at all.

Amanith rendering layer is the best in term of features and speed (and it's 100% crossplatform).

This is wrong. Most operations are faster in Qt 4, some - like anti-aliased drawing - are even infinitely faster. Just run a Qt 4 program and compare its performance with a counterpart using Qt 3, and judge for yourself.
> And what about the backingstore technology...?
It's in 4.1.

No, this has nothing to do with backingstore. Switching tabs is flicker free since Qt 4.0, thanks to an improved recursive setUpdatesEnabled() that implicitely sets the system background to None (so that your X-Server doesn't fill the newly created widgets prior to Qt being able to draw something).
Hopefully 4.2 will abandon native widgets (read: X Windows) completely, then even resizing and moving widgets around will be completely solid.

Okay, I just tried. It's true, Qt 4(.1) is a LOT slower than Qt3 on my hardware. System specs: AMD Athlon 1.2GHz, NVidia Geforce FX 5200.
The Arthur demo's in particular make my system crawl, but even resizing normal windows lags considerably. Hell, Qt4 makes GTK+ feel fast. :/

Re: performance of Qt4.1
you are talking about something completely different than the person you are replying to.
you're talking about things like scrolling text being alphablended with a translucent overlay that is performing transformations on the text.
they were talking about painting things to screen, and in particular widgets.
very different things. the former is always expensive and slow. the trick is to move it to graphics hardware that has nothing better to do than throw cycles at such things and is optimized for those processes, and then it's nice and fast.
you can blame the state of X.org for the current annoyances. we're only now starting to get proper drivers for a few cards, powerful (and stable) X extensions and the client-side software that uses them to make the more complex tricks like antialiasing and compositing feel fast.

Re: performance of Qt4.1

I don't think so.
But still, it's significantly slower than Qt 3.
Example: start Qt 4 designer in "Docked Window" user interface mode. Create a new "mainwindow". Resize this mainwindow inside designer. Awfully slow. It seems to block X refreshing for all other apps while it is being resized. Xosview "freezes" while resizing this mainwindow inside designer.
P.S. the arthur "effect" demos run slow and take 100% CPU. This is not what I'm talking about above. (while I still that it should be possible to do these things much faster)
By aleXXX at Fri, 2005/12/23 - 6:00am
Re: performance of Qt4.1
I noticed the same thing with Qt blocking 'X' occasionally. For example, scrolling or resizing a window will freeze all other applications for a while.
But this is probably an X problem, not Qt.
By aac at Fri, 2005/12/23 - 6:00am
Re: performance of Qt4.1
This is not painting speed, this is the cost of indirect painting (painting to an offscreen buffer and then blitting the result on the screen). Some X-Servers are awfully slow doing this. Just blitting a pixmap on the screen without any painting whatsoever will give you a frame rate that windows users or game programmers only laugh at. X currently sucks in that respect.
Your CPU speed doesn't mean much here, it's your graphics card, and how it is supported by the X-Server. Or rather how it's not supported. Maybe Qt should come with a little test program that blits two pixmaps on the screen, in fastest possible speed using render composite. That would show you the maximum theoretical framerate that a toolkit can achieve on your setup if its drawing speed was infinite. The result would likely be shocking to you.
Comparing Qt4's designer with Qt3 is also missleading wrt "painting" speed, because Qt4 makes quite a bit of use of alpha effects (like the tinting effect when container widgets are highlighted), and child widgets are composed. Plus there was really suboptimal code in designer that painted the little dots. In Qt 4.0.0 most of the time was spent drawing those dots, don't remember to what degree that was fixed in the final 4.1.0 packages.
Please don't spread rumours about "painting being slow" when you basically mean "resizing a form in designer exposes some background". That background is painted by the X-Server when an X Window is reszied, before the very same X-Server finally blits the ready-made contents on it. Qt's painting is fast, the problem is to get the painted pixels on the actual screen. And that's out of the control of the GUI toolkit.
The same applies to the demos.
One big step forward that we can do is ditching the concept of native widgets (read: one X Window per QWidget) altogether. This would allow us to do one blit only when a window is resized, as opposed to many blits. This would also fix the problem of exposing some background when resizing child widgets.
FYI: Qt3 painted directly on the screen, like one had to do in the eighties and early ninetees. The costs of doing that are: no child widget composition (required for modern and cool styles), and flicker. Nobody wants that anymore in 2005. Until the X-Servers finally catch up with modern hardware, we will have to live with slower resizing of windows. Good news: users never do that anyway, at most they hit the maximize button.

Well, I'm not sure I agree completely here.
> And that's out of the control of the GUI toolkit.
Well, not completely. The toolkit can't control the speed of X, but it can use X in different ways. It can use X in a way so that the end result is slow, and it can use X in a way optimized for X, so that the (eventual) performance problems of X are not that much visible.
How is the performance actually with X over network ?

WYSIWYG: Is this hopeless
Having skimmed through the new documentation:
I find two interesting points:
QList QPrinter::supportedResolutions () const
For X11 where all printing is directly to postscript, this function will always return a one item list containing only the postscript resolution, i.e., 72 (72 dpi ... ).
int QFontMetrics::width ( QChar ch ) const
Returns the logical width of character ch in pixels.
I have to wonder, is it possible that the Trolls just don't get it? If you compute the font metrics at 72 DPI and then print it at 600 DPI, no wonder it looks BAD.
On Windows, the printer resolution list will contain numbers like 300, 600 that it gets from the printer driver. In that context, the resolution of PostScript is INFINITY.
[Another small problem is that not all printers have square resolution.]
OTOH, if we are just using the DPI as logical units it would work with 72 DPI except for the type of "QFontMetrics::width". "int" will not work, it needs to be "float" for X11. But, that won't work cross platform -- or will it? How does Redmond work?
The place to start appears to be with: "enum QPrinter::PrinterMode". This is where we should have the three modes:
But, this has already been hacked so what appears to be needed is that: "HighResolution" should always refer to the resolution of the printer (we need this for Windows compatability and to make PDFs), and PostScript should be added as "3". The problem is that using this will break every function which returns the size of any font metric in pixels.
I don't have any good answers -- I can only note that they appear to have used the DOS/Windows paradigm of knowing the printer resolution and painted themselves into a corner. An interim solution would be for X11 to also use the Windows paradigm of using the printer resolution for WYSIWYG layout. But, this would require changes in KPrint so that it would use a PPD file for all printing. This would not be an ideal solution since the printing would still be a little off, but it would be a great improvement -- at 1200 DPI, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Re: WYSIWYG: Is this hopeless
> I have to wonder, is it possible that the Trolls just don't get it?
They do get it. If you take a closer look at Qt 4 you'll discover that
a) there is also a QFontMetricsF class that gives you (as a developer) floating point precision for simple self-made text layouting.
b) /all/ the internal text layouting in Qt is using floating point precision.
c) when laying out text you can disable the screen hinting and use linear scaled design font metrics for a nice preview on the screen that matches
The last point actually still needs tuning for nicer screen output, but it does not fall into your "Trolls don't get it" category.
Re: WYSIWYG: Is this hopeless
By WYSIWYG, I mean true WYSIWYG. Not Windows style which is just font metrics hinted at the printer resolution.
Yes, there is also a QFontMetricsF class (should have read more but ... ), but using that in place of the "int" typed class will require large changes in code. After thinking about this, it would appear that you could use the "float" type for all layout in KDE and this would solve part of the problem. It still has cross platform issues since X11 code could be used on Windows but Windows code might not work on X11 if it used the "int" class.
Yes, according to the documentation:
Freetype expresses the size of the glyphs in 64ths of a pixel -- that is 26,6 fixed point binary. But, that is for _hinted_ font metrics.
However, I have not been able to find where in Qt that you would choose unhinted font metrics. If you choose "QPrinter::HighResolution" you have not selected unhinted; it appears that on X11 that you have selected 600 DPI with hinting at that resolution -- at least it appears to me that "QPrinter::PrinterMode" would be what you would use to choose unhinted, and there is no PostScript option.
True WYSIWYG requires "metrics in design font units", and without further information, I don't see how you can do that. And if you are just doing 600 DPI then the "float" class is not needed. Even if you were using 7200 DPI, integer arithmetic would be faster than float unless you had to use if for scaled font design units.
Perhaps there is a Qt tutorial somewhere that might explain this in more detail.

Re: WYSIWYG: Is this hopeless
-- snip
There is no portability issue using floating point precision instead of integer precision for text layouting. Not if you also do the glyph positioning in the toolkit, so the same precision is used across all platforms, which is what Qt does.
-- snip
Right, it uses 16.16 for linear(Hori|Vert)Advance, which Qt reduces to 26.6. But that should be by far precise enough for decent glyph positioning on your 600 dpi printer.
-- snip
People doing their own high-level text layouting (such as for example KWord might want to do when ported to Qt 4) should use QTextLayout. With QTextLayout it is possible to enable the use of design font metrics by setting the 'useDesignMetrics' property in the associated QTextOption object. Everyone else is free to use the high-level Scribe classes and enable the use of font design metrics there using QTextDocument's useDesignMetrics property.
Re: WYSIWYG: Is this hopeless
-- snip
Maybe that part should be clarified. I meant it should be good enough for doing text layout in low screen resolution (~96 DPI) but with subpixel positioning for decent output on a higher resolution device then. With a factor 64 of added precision you get an effective resolution of ~6000 DPI.
Re: WYSIWYG: Is this hopeless
> There is no portability issue
The portability issue does exist between *NIX and Windows. If a large OO Writer document is moved from Windows to *NIX and the compatibility mode in OO isn't used, the document will become noticeably shorter because hinting isn't used to compute the line lengths in *NIX. I think that the same thing might happen with Qt based wordprocessors, but only if the QFontMetricsF class functions returned non-integer values for unhinted glyphs.
> Right, it uses 16.16 for linear(Hori|Vert)Advance, which Qt reduces to 26.6.
Actually, IIUC, FreeType2 supplies these more precise figures but it doesn't actually use them to render the _hinted_ glyphs. They are supplied so that the application can more precisely compute the layout. This could be used to support a mode where the screen image was hinted but the printed metrics were correctly based on unhinted glyph dimension. WordPerfect can do something like this and it isn't really what I would call a feature. Real WYSIWYG is much better.
> But that should be by far precise enough for decent glyph positioning on your
Perhaps although most office level lasers now start at 1200 DPI and inkjets are 1440 DPI. But, this isn't WYSIWYG, it is 600 DPI hinted fonts. As I said elsewhere, perhaps 7200 DPI hinted fonts would be sufficient in all cases, but I don't see 600 DPI as sufficient.
So, I take issue with the choice of 600 DPI as the ONLY value for "HighResolution" with X11. This is OK as a default but it should be settable.
> People doing their own high-level text layouting (such as for example KWord
So, this is what I am taking issue with. You shouldn't have to do this (use completely different code) just to get true WYSIWYG. This should be possible using the "QFontMetricsF class" and setting the "PrinterMode" to "PostScript" (i.e. unhinted fonts).

Actually QPrinter::HighResolution gives you 1200 DPI.

We are almost in agreement James :). We agree that it should be transparent to the programmer. However I argue that it is easier to default to screen dimensions when printing, because that's exactly what you also see when you debug/develop on the screen. For printing a higher resolution should of course be used, transparently to the programmer by simply scaling the QPainter. And for WYSIWYG the text should be layouted and positioned only /once/, in screen dimension but with a precision high enough to give nice output on a higher resolution printer.
Default to a 7200 DPI resolution for everything would be an insane waste of resources and it is harder to understand for developers because it significantly differs from what you see on the screen (ever debugged with xmag? :). Plus 99% of the time you do want your text hinted to low-resolution screen output, because 99% of the time text is displayed solely for screen output: Text in menus, text in web pages, text in tooltips, text in labels, etc. That is the common case and that is why text is hinted by default. Those few applications that need WYSIWYG can easily set the one or other property on an object :)

Re: WYSIWYG: Is this hopeless
> Actually QPrinter::HighResolution gives you 1200 DPI.
That is good, but I did read 600 DPI in the dox.
I note that as I have said before that you need to be able to choose between: "Screen", "DPI", and "FontMetrics" resolution depending on what you are doing.
Obviously "Screen" is best for viewing on the screen. To emulate Windows or to make a PDF, you would normally use "DPI" but for true WYSIWYG (e.g. something to be sent out to be printed) you need to be able to choose "FontMetrics".
It would be a great feature if you could choose these three modes and not have to change any code to do it. This would require using "float" for the layout and would (therefore) be a little slower -- but most machines have many times as much power as they need for wordprocessing.
I don't see how 7200 DPI for layout would be a problem. It shouldn't add overhead since it could all still be done with 32 bit integers and integer arithmetic.
And Merry Christmas to everyone. I got the Flu for Christmas, hope everyone else is doing better.

By ac at Wed, 2005/12/21 - 6:00am
Re: WYSIWYG: Is this hopeless
No, what it does mean is that so far in reading the documentation, I have not yet figured out how to do true WYSIWYG using font design units transformed into actual floating point dimensions (rather than DPI) for glyph dimensions.
However, if we could work in 7200 DPI resolution, it would be so close to correct that nobody would know the difference and that appears to require only small changes in Qt to do. 7200 DPI is a good value to simulate WYSIWYG because it is 5*1440 and 6*1200 so it would work for both common printer resolution moduli.

Anemia, one of the more common blood disorders, occurs when the level of healthy red blood cells (RBCs) in the body becomes too low. This can lead to health problems because RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to the body's tissues. Anemia can cause a variety of complications, including fatigue and stress on bodily organs.
Anemia can be caused by many things, but the three main bodily mechanisms that produce it are:
Among many other causes, anemia can result from inherited disorders, nutritional problems (such as an iron or vitamin deficiency), infections, some kinds of cancer, or exposure to a drug or toxin.
Hemolyticanemia occurs when red blood cells are being destroyed prematurely. (The normal lifespan of RBCs is 120 days; in hemolytic anemia, it's much shorter.) And the bone marrow (the soft, spongy tissue inside bones that makes new blood cells) simply can't keep up with the body's demand for new cells. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, infections or certain medications — such as antibiotics or anti-seizure medicines — are to blame.
In autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the immune system mistakes RBCs for foreign invaders and begins destroying them. Other kids inherit defects in the red blood cells that lead to anemia; common forms of inherited hemolytic anemia include sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, and hereditary spherocytosis.
Blood loss can also cause anemia — whether it's because of excessive bleeding due to injury, surgery, or a problem with the blood's clotting ability. Slower, long-term blood loss, such as intestinal bleeding from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can also cause anemia. Anemia sometimes results from heavy menstrual periods in teen girls and women. Any of these factors will also increase the body's need for iron because iron is needed to make new RBCs.
Aplastic anemia occurs when the bone marrow can't make enough blood cells. This can be due to a viral infection, or exposure to certain toxic chemicals, radiation, or medications (such as antibiotics, anti-seizure drugs, or cancer treatments). Some childhood cancers can also cause aplastic anemia, as can certain genetic and other chronic diseases that affect the ability of the bone marrow to function properly.
High levels of hemoglobin and RBCs help fetal blood carry enough oxygen to developing babies in the relatively oxygen-poor environment in utero. After the child is born, more oxygen is available and the baby's hemoglobin level normally drops to a low point at about 2 months of age, a condition known as physiologic anemia of infancy. This temporary and expected drop in the blood count is considered normal and no treatment is required because the infant's body soon starts making RBCs on its own.
Anemia also occurs when the body isn't able to produce enough healthy RBCs because of an iron deficiency. Iron is essential to hemoglobin production. Poor dietary iron intake (or excessive loss of iron from the body) can lead to iron deficiency anemia, the most common cause of anemia in kids. Iron deficiency anemia can affect kids at any age, but is most common in those younger than 2 years old. Young children who drink excessive amounts of milk are at increased risk for iron deficiency.
Girls going through puberty also have a particularly high risk for iron deficiency anemia because of the onset of menstruation; the monthly blood loss increases the amount of iron they need to consume in their diets.
If your child has anemia, the first symptoms might be mild skin paleness and decreased pinkness of the lips and nailbeds. These changes may happen gradually, though, so they can be difficult to notice. Other common signs include:
If the anemia is caused by excessive destruction of RBCs, symptoms also may include jaundice, a yellowing of the whites of the eyes, an enlarged spleen, and dark tea-colored urine.
In infants and preschoolers, iron deficiency anemia can result in developmental delays and behavioral disturbances, such as decreased motor activity and problems with social interaction and attention to tasks. Research indicates that developmental problems may last into and beyond school age if the iron deficiency is not properly treated.
In many cases, doctors don't diagnose anemia until they run blood tests as part of a routine physical examination. A complete blood count (CBC) may indicate that there are fewer RBCs than normal. Other diagnostic tests may include:
In addition to running these tests, your doctor may ask about a family history of anemia and your child's symptoms and medications. This may lead the doctor to perform other tests to look for specific diseases that might be causing the anemia.
Treatment for anemia depends on its cause. It's important not to assume that any symptoms your child may be having are due to iron deficiency. Be sure to have your child checked by a doctor.
If your child has iron deficiency anemia, the doctor may prescribe medication as drops (for infants) or as a liquid or tablet (for older kids), which usually must be taken for as long as 3 months to rebuild the body's store of iron. The doctor also may recommend adding certain iron-rich foods to your child's diet or reducing milk intake.
If your teenage daughter is anemic and has heavy or irregular menstrual periods, her doctor may prescribe hormonal treatment to help regulate the bleeding.
Folic acid and vitamin B12 supplements may be prescribed if the anemia is traced to a deficiency of these nutrients, although this is rare in children.
Anemia caused by an infection will usually improve when the infection passes or is treated. If a certain medication appears to be the cause, your doctor may discontinue it or replace it with something else — unless the benefit of the drug outweighs this side effect.
Depending on the cause, treatment for more severe or chronic forms of anemia may include:
In some cases of sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and aplastic anemia, bone marrow transplantation may be used. In this procedure, bone marrow cells taken from a donor are injected into the child's vein; they then travel through the bloodstream to the bone marrow and begin producing new blood cells.
The type, cause, and severity of your child's anemia will determine what kind of care is needed. Rest assured, though, that kids often tolerate anemia much better than adults.
In general, a child with significant anemia may tire more easily than other kids and therefore need to limit activity levels. Make sure that your child's teachers and other caregivers are aware of the condition. If iron deficiency is the cause, follow the doctor's directions about dietary changes and taking any iron supplements.
If the spleen is enlarged, your child may be prohibited from playing contact sports because of the risk that the spleen could rupture or hemorrhage if your child is hurt. Certain forms of anemia, such as sickle cell anemia, require other more specific kinds of care and treatment.
Whether anemia can be prevented depends on its cause. Currently, there is no way to prevent anemia due to genetic defects affecting the production of RBCs or hemoglobin.
However, you can help prevent iron deficiency, the most common form of anemia. Before following any of these suggestions, be sure to talk them over with your doctor:
If you have any questions about anemia or you think your child might have it, speak with your doctor.

Papp: 'Worst fiscal mess' he's ever seen
New London - Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr. said this is the "worst fiscal mess" he has seen in his 38 years in the Coast Guard.
The fiscal cliff was not solved, it was "kicked down the road a bit," Papp, the Coast Guard commandant, said. Four months into the fiscal year, the government is operating under a continuing resolution instead of a new budget and Congress still has to make a decision on the debt ceiling.
"That, my friends, in sailors' terms, is the 'perfect storm,'" he said.
Papp, who graduated from the academy in 1975, gave his annual leadership address at the Coast Guard Academy Wednesday and explained his theory on proficiency to the corps of cadets, telling them they need to be highly competent in their craft and as leaders.
He also asked for their help in confronting problems such as alcohol abuse, sexual assault and inappropriate relationships. Seven graduates of the Class of 2011 were not promoted to lieutenant junior grade on time because of their involvement in an alcohol incident or an inappropriate relationship, Papp said.
"These activities have no place in our Coast Guard," he said. "I have faith in our ability to deal with these issues as we go forward because there's simply no higher responsibility we have as leaders than to make sure everyone is safe, secure and well taken care of."
Cadets who spoke in the question-and-answer session all wanted to know how the looming budget cuts and downsizing of the military would affect the Coast Guard and their school. The "fiscal cliff" deal signed by the president this month put off the automatic budget cuts known as sequestration until March 1.
If sequestration does occur, Papp said, he will try to keep the same number of people in the Coast Guard. Military pay would not be affected. Rather, the cuts would come from operational discretionary funding - the accounts that include money for training and getting ships under way, he said.
The Coast Guard is working on contingency plans and already prioritizing its missions because even today, Papp said, there are not enough resources and people to complete all missions all of the time.
"You probably have heard the expression, 'they're making us do more with less.' 'We all have to do more with less.' I'm trying to dispel that rumor," Papp said. "… If you decrease the resources of the Coast Guard, you can expect less Coast Guard services."
This summer when the Coast Guard sent ships, aircraft and personnel to the Arctic because Shell Oil was drilling there, Papp said, he did not send ships to participate in Navy exercises in th e Pacific for the first time in many years, and the Coast Guard spent less time interdicting drugs and intercepting fishing boats using illegal drift nets.
Hayley Smith, a freshman cadet who had asked about the fiscal cliff, said she and her classmates are worried about the future. Her class, which started this summer with 248 students, is the smallest in more than a decade. A typical class starts with close to 300 students.
"We've been told the classes coming in are getting smaller and smaller, and it's such a small organization already," she said. "It's hard enough just to get into the academy, so there is concern about how this will affect our future careers. Is it going to be harder to get certain positions within the Coast Guard?"
Papp told cadets there may be smaller classes at the academy in the future. But he didn't say how small, since he doesn't know yet how many new officers the Coast Guard will need - and be able to pay for - in the coming years. Junior officers will notice less of an impact, but fewer senior officers are being promoted, he said. Last year, one out of every two captains had to retire.
Papp said that despite the challenges ahead, he was optimistic that lawmakers in Washington would solve the fiscal crisis.
"You have a future to look forward to," he told the cadets. "There will be a United States Coast Guard. It may be in a different form but there will be a United States Coast Guard and we'll continue to need proficiency in leadership and craft."
Richard Etheridge, who was been born into slavery and became the first black man ever appointed keeper of a U.S. Lifesaving Station, is a perfect example of proficiency, Papp said. Etheridge was given the position, on Pea Island on the Outer Banks in North Carolina, in 1880, despite the racism of the time, because the service needed skilled professionals like Etheridge, Papp said. A Coast Guard cutter is now named after Etheridge.
Proficiency is the key to success in the Coast Guard, Papp said.
"It's what the oath you took requires, what the service requires and what the American people expect of us."
Before returning to Washington, D.C., Papp will meet with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy today in Hartford to discuss plans for the National Coast Guard Museum in New London. Papp said the National Coast Guard Museum Association will show him a model and engineering plans next month and an announcement of the site could follow soon thereafter.
