The fastest-growing developmental disorder in the industrialized world, autism has increased an astounding 600 per cent over the last 20 years. Science cannot say why. Some say it's triggered by environmental factors and point to another intriguing statistic: 70 per cent of kids with autism also have severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Could autism actually begin in the gut? The Autism Enigma looks at the progress of an international group of scientists who are studying the gut's amazingly diverse and powerful microbial ecosystem for clues to the baffling disorder.

At least this is how Shaken Baby Syndrome has been characterized in countless court cases in recent years. But what are the scientific foundations of this diagnosis? "Diagnosis Murder" tells the story of several Canadian parents who say they were wrongfully accused--and the leading-edge medical researchers who believe they're telling the truth. The stakes are high: Some have gone to jail. All have had their other children taken away from them. Is Shaken Baby Syndrome conclusive evidence of murder? Or is it a scientific hypothesis that has convicted an untold number of parents as killers -- when their children actually died from other causes?

A small group of scientists have begun looking beyond the obvious because of a group that can't chew, let alone jog: infant obesity rose more than 70 per cent in just 20 years. You can't blame them for unhealthy lifestyles. The scientists suspect that, starting in the womb, man-made chemicals may be triggering changes to our metabolism that result in lifelong weight gain.

Item no. : HB03921307 Format : DVD (Closed Captioned) Duration : 22 minutes Audience : Grades 8-12, Adult Education, Post Secondary Copyright : 2012 Price : USD 188.00 HEALTH AND/OR MEDICINE AFFLICTIONS: AFFLICTIONS: CULTURE CULTURE AND AND AND MENTAL MENTAL ILLNESS ILLNESS IIN I N INDONESIA INDONESIA INDONESIA - KITES KITES KITES AND AND MONSTERS MONSTERS By Robert Lemelson The film focuses on a growing boy, Wayan Yoga, and is not so much about illness as it is an exploration of the protective aspects of culture that may guide developmental neuropsychiatric processes. At six years old, Wayan Yoga is an energetic boy who flies kites and is obsessed with the monsters of Balinese mythology. He also has various tics, which move his parents to seek treatment. At twenty, he is a young man planning his career as a chef and an expressive Balinese dancer. Ultimately, Wayan Yoga's tics are insignificant to his evolving sense of self-compared to the saturation of symbols, images, and narratives of his culture. While Wayan must learn to negotiate the kinds of movements, interests, and goals that are culturally appropriate, the protective buffer of his family guides him successfully into normative Balinese adulthood. Item no. : FC03720820 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 22 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 167.00 AFFLICTIONS: AFFLICTIONS: CULTURE CULTURE AND AND MENTAL MENTAL ILLNESS ILLNESS IIN I N INDONESIA INDONESIA - MEMORY MEMORY OF OF MY MY MY FACE FACE By Robert Lemelson The film focuses on Bambang Rudjito, a university-educated Indonesian man in his late thirties diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. It explores the "globalized" features of Bambang's illness and recovery narrative — western psychiatric diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, work opportunities in a rapidly changing urban environment, participation in an interfaith religious community, and his family's understanding and acceptance of what Bambang describes as a "mental disability." But it also considers aspects of Bambang's more complex, historically and politically shaded narrative, giving language and a deeper substance to his illness experience. Memory of My Face illustrates how the residues of colonialism and the pervasive influence of globalization affect the subjective experience of mental illness. Item no. : YE03790821 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 22 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 167.00 AFFLICTIONS: AFFLICTIONS: CULTURE CULTURE CULTURE AND AND MENTAL MENTAL ILLNESS ILLNESS IIN I N INDONESIA INDONESIA - RITUAL RITUAL BURDENS BURDENS By Robert Lemelson The film focuses on Ni Ketut Kasih who has lived her whole life surrounded by the complex rhythms of the Balinese ritual calendar. Here, participation in ritual events is both a spiritual mandate and social obligation for women who spend countless hours crafting offerings. Ni Ketut's masterful hand has contributed to her status as a highly respected ceremonial leader. However, the pressures of ritual requirements often overwhelm her, crowding her mind with memories of her difficult childhood during Indonesia's war for independence. This may trigger Ketut's bi-polar disorder episodes, for which she has been hospitalized over 35 times. Ni Ketut's case reveals the binding associations that may make certain burdens unbearable as cultural obligations, traumatic historical events, and personal experience overlap in unique schemas of stress that trigger cyclical episodes of mental illness. Award � Prestige Award and Film Festival, USA, 2012 Item no. : HV03650822 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 25 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 167.00 FANTOME FANTOME ISLAND ISLAND By Sean Gilligan and Adrian Strong In 1945 seven-year-old Joe Eggmolesse was diagnosed with Leprosy. He was taken from his family under police escort and transported by rail and sea over a thousand kilometres to Fantome Island where he was to be incarcerated for the next ten years. The isolated tropical island off the North Queensland coast became home to a close-knit community of indigenous "lepers" whose marginalized existence was hidden from white society and has until now remained absent from the mainstream historical record. Cared for by nuns from the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary their isolation was the consequence of apartheid-like policies developed by the Queensland government and medical establishment which espoused a eugenicist philosophy and regarded racial segregation as standard practice. As one of the few surviving former patients Joe returns to the island for a long awaited event, the Fantome Island Remembrance Day. As a 73 year old Elder he confronts the memory of his childhood on the island to pay tribute to those who lived and died there and to inscribe his own unique story into official Australian history. Drawing on an evocative archive, this film exposes how an ideology of racism and eugenics worked to justify horrific treatment of Australia's Indigenous communities. In uncovering this shameful history, Fantome Island is a testimony of strength and endurance, demonstrating one man's incredible capacity for forgiveness and love. Awards � Best Australian Documentary, Human Rights Arts and Film Festival, Australia, 2012 � John Oxley Library Award, Queensland Memory Awards, 2012 Item no. : VH03720826 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 82 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 282.00 HEALTH CARE ISSUES SUBSTANCE, SUBSTANCE, SUBSTANCE, THE: THE: ALBE ALBERT ALBE ALBERT RT HOFMANN'S HOFMANN'S LSD LSD LSD Directed by Martin Witz In 1943, at the Sandoz chemical-pharmaceutical laboratories in Basel, Switzerland, chemist Albert Hofmann, in search of a respiratory and circulatory stimulant, first synthesized LSD. Martin Witz's THE SUBSTANCE: ALBERT HOFMANN'S LSD is an informative and entertaining investigation into the history of a drug so potent that mere fractions of a milligram can alter a subject's perception of reality. Viewers learn how Hofmann's discovery became the subject of 1950's Cold War experiments by the American military and the CIA, who saw LSD as a potential weapon. Meanwhile, international psychiatrists and consciousness researchers tried to unlock the drug's medicinal possibilities, wondering whether it might be an effective tool for contemporary psychiatry or neuroscience. In the early 1960s, Hofmann's "miracle drug" escaped from the lab. The psychedelic substance appealed to the counterculture, whose members saw LSD as fuel for social and political revolution. Could spiritual peace be achieved at the flick of a chemical switch? The notoriety and sense of possibility surrounding LSD persist to this day. 56 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: inquiry@learningemall.com Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk
