Insights

This review outlines a systematic approach for transitioning patients with neurological disorders to adult care. It details principles for successful integration and addresses barriers for healthcare providers.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Healthcare Transition
  • Patient Care Coordination

Background:

  • The transition of pediatric patients with neurological disorders to adult care presents unique challenges.
  • Recent literature highlights the complexity and identifies barriers in this process.
  • A coordinated and collaborative approach benefits patients, families, and providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a systematic approach for transitioning patients with neurological disorders to adult care.
  • To provide principles and steps for successful patient integration into adult practices.
  • To discuss cultural, systemic, and discipline-based barriers to this transition.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of literature on healthcare transitions for neurological disorders.
  • Identification of core principles and actionable steps for transition.
  • Analysis of barriers impacting the transition process.

Main Results:

  • A consensus exists on the need for a systematic transition process.
  • Key barriers include cultural, systemic, and discipline-specific factors.
  • Effective transition requires coordinated and collaborative methodologies.

Conclusions:

  • A structured approach is essential for the successful transition of neurological patients to adult care.
  • Addressing identified barriers is crucial for seamless integration.
  • Collaborative care models enhance outcomes for patients and providers.

Phase Transitions02:31

Phase Transitions

Whether solid, liquid, or gas, a substance's state depends on the order and arrangement of its particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). Particles in the solid pack closely together, generally in a pattern. The particles vibrate about their fixed positions but do not move or squeeze past their neighbors. In liquids, although the particles are closely spaced, they are randomly arranged. The position of the particles are not fixed—that is, they are free to move past their neighbors to...

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Properties of Transition Metals02:58

Properties of Transition Metals

Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions01:58

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Phase Transitions: Vaporization and Condensation02:39

Phase Transitions: Vaporization and Condensation

The physical form of a substance changes on changing its temperature. For example, raising the temperature of a liquid causes the liquid to vaporize (convert into vapor). The process is called vaporization—a surface phenomenon. Vaporization occurs when the thermal motion of the molecules overcome the intermolecular forces, and the molecules (at the surface) escape into the gaseous state. When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules...
