Mobile phones, just how did we live without them?

At about 80 million, there are now more mobiles than people in the UK. But
since the nineties, when their use became more widespread, there have
been nagging doubts about their safety. For many people these were
resolved two years ago with a report from the Mobile Telecommunications
and Health Research Programme. The programme, jointly funded by the
Government and the industry, concluded that mobile phones, base stations
and masts 'have not been found to be associated with any biological or
adverse health effects'.

However, according to a decade-long study, due out in the coming weeks,


people who used mobiles for a decade or more had a 'significantly
increased risk' of developing some types of brain tumours. The decade-long
study, which concluded prolonged usage of mobile phones can increase
the risk of tumours, failed to include children.

The Interphone study, partly funded by the mobile phone industry, found an
increased risk of glioma - the most common brain tumour. This follows the
results of an American-Korean study published a fortnight ago which
showed that mobile use increases brain tumour risk by around 25 per
cent. And a similar report from Australian scientists in July showed double
the risk after ten years' use. However, none of these reports included
children, and they are the group experts are most worried about.

'I am seeing more patients than ever and at younger ages,' says Kevin
O'Neill, consultant neurosurgeon at Charing Cross Hospital in London. 'The
big fear among brain specialists is that the most likely culprit - and certainly
the one that gets closest to the brain - is radiation from mobile handsets.'

‘It is important not to be alarmist’, mobile phone companies continue to


insist their products are safe. Many scientists agree with them, but others
have growing concerns.
Half of Britain's primary school children use mobile phones and many have
digital cordless phones at home, which emit microwave radiation in the
same way. The Health Protection Agency, which is responsible for safety in
this area, states that these operate within internationally agreed safe
limits. But many experts believe young people, in particular, are more
susceptible to the microwave radiation produced by mobiles - and
therefore increased risk of brain tumours and other cancers of the head
and neck. It is thought that radiation emitted by phones is absorbed by the
body, damaging the cells.

'Mobiles were originally designed to be used for short, urgent calls,' says
Professor Shakeel Saeed, an ear and brain specialist at University College
London. 'But young people use them like any other phone, often for long
periods.'

While death rates for all the other major cancers are falling, 'for brain
cancer they are rising', according to charity Brain Tumour Research. And
worse, ‘it is claiming more children,' says its chairman Wendy Fulcher.

In the UK, cases among children are increasing by almost three per cent a
year, with most childhood brain tumours occurring in one to two-year-olds.
But how could brain cancer in children too young to own phones be
connected to them?

When Interphone was launched, there were few sources of radiation in


children's everyday lives. But these have increased and could start before
birth, says Professor Denis Henshaw, head of the radiation research group at
Bristol University. Epidemiologists from McGill University in Montreal revealed
that women who worked in low-frequency magnetic environments when
pregnant, such as machinists, hairdressers, nurses and dry-cleaners, were
twice as likely to have babies that developed brain tumours. 'Low-
frequency magnetic fields can suppress production of melatonin, which in
pregnant women will deprive the foetal brain of the protective hormone,'
says Professor Henshaw, patron of the charity Children with Cancer.

The effect on babies and children does not stop there, according to
Professor Stefaan van Gool, who treats children with brain cancer at Leuven
Catholic University, Belgium. 'Cordless baby alarms, toys and phones expose
children to daily radiation. Although the intensity is less than a mobile,
children are more susceptible to the effects. A lot of young children have
Wi-Fi at school, so their exposure is continual.'
Professor Lennart Hardell says: 'Why wait for conclusive evidence? Children
deserve to be protected and we have enough data to justify warnings and
restrictions for them.' Some countries agree. The Russian Health Protection
Agency has advised the government to ban mobile use for under-18s.
France is introducing legislation to ban advertising of mobiles to under-14s
and their use in nurseries and primary schools. In Salzburg, Austria, Wi-Fi is
banned in schools. Here, in the UK, the Department of Health circulated
leaflets in 2000 advising that children limit use to 'short, essential calls'. Its
more recent advice, that care should be taken 'in particular with the use of
handsets by very young children', was posted only on its website. The
Mobile Operators Association, meanwhile, dismisses the research as
inconclusive and holds to its position that, after the age of two, children's
brains are no more vulnerable to microwave emissions than adults' so
standard safety limits protect them.

'We know electromagnetic radiation can affect human cells,' says


neurosurgeon Dr Ron Beaney of Guy's and St Thomas hospital in London.
'The jury may still technically be out on the link with brain cancer but, in the
meantime, most authorities are saying be careful. 'I routinely ask my patients
about their mobile phone use and, like many clinicians, strongly urge
caution over use. Use landlines where possible, text rather than call and
switch off your phone when not in use. 'The cost of failing to do this could be
significant.'

Lip and tongue piercing

It may be the choice of a generation, but for today’s teenagers lip and
tongue piercing could have implications to their oral health later in life
according to Dr Sabrina Manickam, Senior Lecturer in Dentistry at Charles
Sturt University (CSU).

As healthcare professionals providing dental services to children,


adolescents and teenagers in the public sector thoughout Australia, dental
therapists have seen trauma caused by lip and tongue piercing.

“If you have your lip or tongue pierced, and have inserted a stud, you are
risking painful damage to your teeth such as fractures which create
ongoing dental treatment commitments which can be very expensive,”
Western NSW dental therapist Lynne Turner said.
“Tongue piercing carries a risk of injury to the vital structures such as the
tongue, as it is full of muscle fibres, blood vessels, nerves and taste buds so
it’s important to contact your dentist before having oral piercing done so
you are given enough information about future complications to make an
informed decision.”

“Piercing can result in serious problems,” Dr Manickam agrees. “The mouth


is teeming with bacteria, which cause no harm unless they get into deeper
tissues. Piercing allows these bacteria to penetrate to the inner tissues of the
tongue, where they have the potential to cause serious infections.”

The Australian Dental Association (ADA) is quick to shun this popular


adornment. The ADA website lists such horror stories as, “studs dislodging
and pins becoming ‘lost’ inside the tongue, requiring oral surgery to retrieve
them”. The website states: “The ADA has warned the public on a number of
occasions of the dangers of tongue piercing. It is of interest to note that
recently the American Dental Association, representing 143 000 members,
cited oral piercing as a public health hazard.”

New CSU degree courses in oral health therapy and hygiene and dentistry
will ensure more trained professionals in the dentistry industry are available
to rural and remote areas. “It’s important that teenagers can get access to
dentists and dental therapists if they are going to make informed decisions
about piercing,” Dr Manickam said. “Our graduates will be thoroughly
trained to give teenagers and parents adequate information on the
importance of oral hygiene.”

CSU’s three year, Bachelor of Oral Health (Therapy/Hygiene) course will


have a strong focus on core biomedical and oral sciences in the first two
years and continue throughout the curriculum, while students also
commence their clinical experience and hand skills development in the first
year. The hand skills development will occur using state-of-the-art simulation
equipment in new purpose built facilities at CSU. In years two and three, the
course focuses on understanding the medical, dental, social and
community context of clinical practice in dental hygiene or dental therapy.
Students will undertake intense clinical activities and there will be the
opportunity for students to be involved in patient care at a variety of sites -
at CSU and in the community, in rural and metropolitan areas - to gain
quality professional experience.

You’ll hear Shane Dunphy from child protection unit talking about people
naming their children after celebrities or the ones they love. For sentences
1-10, decide if each statement is TRUE or FALSE by putting a tick (√) in the
appropriate box.

'My name was always a topic of conversation when I was growing up," the
boy told me. He was a tall, dark haired 14-year-old. He was sitting in the
observation room of the child protection unit where I was based, about to
spend an hour in my company because of extremely violent outbursts at his
school.

A cursory look at his file indicated a possible source of stress: this young
man's name was Napoleon.

How could such a mantle not attract ridicule and heartache?

"I mean, how many other kids were called after major historical figures?" he
asked in exasperation. "There weren't too many Attilas, Hannibals or
Wellingtons. I was 12 before I even met an Alexander, for God's sake!"

In the torrid world of celebrity, Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen have just
been blessed with a healthy baby boy, whom they have named Kai. Kai is
currently the 68th most popular baby name in Ireland and the UK.
Napoleon does not feature in the ranking.

Names do not have to be so eccentrically unique to cause problems.


Another young man I worked with became the subject of serious bullying
through being given the name Marion. This was again the result of his father,
a fan of John Wayne.

Failing to notice that the screen icon changed his rather effeminate title as
soon as he possibly could, Marion's father followed the path of the evil Dad
in Johnny Cash's 'Boy Named Sue', and cursed his son to a childhood of
fighting and anguish. In this instance, there was nothing to be done except
literally have the child's name legally altered -- he also became John,
possibly the most ordinary name he could think of, while, of course, keeping
his father happy.

The fact is, unusual names more often than not say more about the parents
than they do about the poor child who is lumbered with them.

Napoleon Bonaparte was an idol of the accordingly labelled boy's father,


an ex-military man who had studied the diminutive Emperor's achievements
in college.

"I was always told how great this guy was, how he was a brilliant soldier and
politician, how he shaped the way the world is governed today -- I always
thought I was expected to live up to that, somehow. That if I did anything to
let down the image of this dead white man, I was also letting my father
down. And it didn't help that the name caused me to have the piss taken
out of me from the second I started school."

There are countless books and websites which deal with naming your child,
and most posit the advice that parents should consider a number of factors
when choosing the label by which their progeny will be known for the rest of
their lives.

After all, children do not have any say whatsoever in what they are to be
called.

The Bumper Book of Baby Names warns parents to consider names which
reflect their child's personality, and suggest qualities of strength or
compassion to which they can aspire.

In other words, the name given to a child should be a gift, and reflect the
persona of the child as an individual -- yet so often, this is flagrantly ignored.

Familial bonds can be the cause of problems, too. I once worked with an
eight-year-old girl whose parents had seen fit to name her after her
maternal grandfather -- Michael. The sensible thing may have been to call
her Michaela, but they chose to go with the masculine. All young Michael's
aunts and uncles had also had girls, and the entire family had wanted a
boy to be born this time around.

Alas, it was just not to be, and so this final daughter was saddled with a
man's name. It took much persuasion -- and six months' worth of visits to a
child psychologist -- to add that extra vowel.
Keeping a family tradition does not always mean adopting a grandparent's
name. I worked with a child in care whose given name was Tom Tom. His
father was a drummer, and this had been his nick-name during his glory
days.

Our names are hugely significant to us psychologically, and while we may


fantasise about having tougher titles, most of us would never trade up for
anything else. This is because our names become hard-wired into our
psyches, and can even influence our personalities.

Research has shown that, for example, girls with very feminine names like
Daisy or Poppy, can develop attitudes and behavioural traits which mirror
that. Similarly, underneath his anger, Napoleon's teachers all agreed that
he was a very strong individual, with clearly defined leadership qualities.

The message seems to be that choosing a name for your newly arrived
child should never be done in haste. Remember, you -- and your little prince
or princess -- will have to live with it for many years to come.

A brief look at the names many parents -- both inside and outside the world
of celebrity -- inflict upon their children shows that the act is regularly used
as an exercise in attracting tabloid attention and pseudo-intellectual
posturing than it is cementing a child's future success -- or sanity.
