Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

295
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

27.6K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

4.7K
Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.

Group Therapy01:26

Group Therapy

434
Group therapy is a sociocultural approach to psychological treatment, where individuals with shared psychological challenges come together under the guidance of a mental health professional. This therapeutic modality offers unique opportunities for individuals to connect, share, and grow within the context of a supportive group. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, group therapy can address a range of psychological concerns effectively, often complementing or surpassing the...

Cancer Therapies

10.2K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Behavior Therapy

705
Behavior therapy incorporates diverse techniques rooted in classical conditioning principles to address maladaptive behaviors and anxiety disorders. These methods aim to reduce avoidance behaviors, foster adaptive coping mechanisms, and alter associations between stimuli and responses, making them effective in a wide range of therapeutic contexts.
Exposure therapy is a cornerstone of behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders. It involves systematic exposure to feared stimuli, either in real...

Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Neonatal Care
  • Cellular Therapy

Background:

  • Preterm infants require interventions with potential side effects.
  • Cell therapy, using stem/progenitor cells, offers anti-inflammatory and regenerative benefits.
  • Limited clinical trials exist for neonatal cell therapy compared to adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review preclinical cell therapy efficacy for diseases in preterm infants.
  • To identify challenges for safe neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) application of cell therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of preclinical studies on cell therapy in neonatal disease models.
  • Analysis of stem/progenitor cell properties relevant to neonatal conditions.
  • Identification of barriers to clinical translation in neonates.

Main Results:

  • Preclinical data suggest potential benefits of cell therapy for various neonatal diseases.
  • Stem-like cells demonstrate migration, engraftment, and anti-inflammatory capacities.
  • Significant obstacles remain for safe and effective neonatal application.

Conclusions:

  • Cell therapy holds promise for addressing complications in preterm infants.
  • Further research and development are needed to overcome neonatal-specific challenges.
  • Bridging the gap between preclinical findings and clinical NICU use is essential.
