Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
Types of Toxins01:36

Types of Toxins

Humans continually engage with an environment rich in potentially harmful chemicals. These are introduced to our bodies through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. These chemicals exist in various forms, such as air and environmental pollutants, agricultural chemicals, organic solvents, and heavy metals.
Air pollutants, primarily gases, pose significant threats to respiratory health, leading to conditions like hypoxia, lung cancer, and in extreme cases, death.
Environmental pollutants like...
Household Wiring And Electrical Safety01:13

Household Wiring And Electrical Safety

Companies that supply power to most modern households use three conductors, typically called a three-wire line. While one is neutral, the other two are both at 120 V but with opposite polarity, giving a voltage of 240 V between them. With a three-wire line, high-power appliances that require 240 V, such as electric stoves and clothes dryers, are linked between the two hot lines. 120 V appliances can be connected between the neutral and either of the hot lines. The neutral side, which is always...
Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...
The Periodic Table and Organismal Elements01:27

The Periodic Table and Organismal Elements

Elements are the smallest units of matter that cannot be broken down further by chemical processes. There are 118 known elements, but not all of these are naturally occurring, and only a few of them are essential for life. Living matter is composed primarily of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, with smaller amounts of other elements like calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur. Other elements are also necessary for life but only in trace amounts.

Physical Properties of Amines01:26

Physical Properties of Amines

Amines with low molecular weight are usually gaseous at room temperature, while those with high molecular weight are liquid or solids in nature. Usually, low molecular weight amines have a rotten fish-like smell. Diamines typically have a pungent smell. For instance, cadaverine and putrescine, depicted in Figure 1, are two molecules responsible for decaying tissue.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Childhood motorcycle trauma admissions are rising in New Zealand. All-terrain vehicle (ATV) riders are younger and sustain more severe injuries than motorbike (MB) riders, especially those under 12.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Trauma
  • Injury Epidemiology
  • Motorcycle Safety

Background:

  • Motorcycle use poses significant injury risks to children.
  • Limited data exists on pediatric motorcycle trauma in New Zealand.
  • Childhood trauma from motorcycles requires urgent investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify pediatric motorcycle trauma burden at Starship Children's Hospital.
  • To analyze annual admission rates, injury severity, and mortality.
  • To compare injury patterns between all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and motorbike (MB) riders.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of pediatric trauma admissions (November 1999 - December 2008).
  • Data sourced from the Starship Trauma Registry.
  • Inclusion of all patients admitted for motorcycle-related injuries.

Main Results:

  • 146 admissions (123 MB, 23 ATV); threefold increase over 9 years.
  • ATV riders were younger (median 9 vs 12 years) and had higher injury severity (26% vs 8.9% with ISS >12).
  • Two deaths; 7.4% ICU admission; 60% required surgery; children <12 years had higher ISS.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric motorcycle trauma admissions are increasing.
  • ATV riders experience more severe injuries and are younger than MB riders.
  • Children under 12 are at higher risk for severe injury from motorcycle trauma.
