|April 7, 2018
Summary
Pediatric rheumatic diseases often persist into adulthood, causing ongoing issues. Establishing transitional care services helps adolescents manage their health independently, improving outcomes and quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Rheumatology
- Chronic Disease Management
- Healthcare Transition
Background:
- Rheumatic diseases are common chronic childhood illnesses.
- 30-70% of pediatric rheumatology patients experience ongoing issues in adulthood.
- These issues include disease activity, functional limitations, and psychosocial problems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define and advocate for transitional care services for adolescents with rheumatic diseases.
- To improve long-term health outcomes and quality of life for young adults with chronic conditions.
Main Methods:
- This abstract outlines the concept and importance of transitional care.
- It emphasizes the planned movement from pediatric to adult healthcare settings.
Main Results:
- Transitional services aim to prepare adolescents for independent health management.
- Successful transition can lead to better disease control and reduced long-term complications.
Conclusions:
- Establishing transitional services is crucial for pediatric rheumatology patients.
- This process enhances disease management, reduces healthcare costs, and improves overall quality of life.

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...

02:58Properties of Transition Metals
30.0K
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.

01:58Cooperative Allosteric Transitions
8.9K
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...

02:39Phase Transitions: Vaporization and Condensation
21.6K
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...
