Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

324
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...

Nature and Nurture

22.4K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Empathy

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in children causes significant health issues, including psychosocial and infectious complications.
  • Current treatments like topical corticosteroids and tacrolimus have potential side effects, necessitating safer alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current understanding of atopic dermatitis pathogenesis.
  • To identify potential therapeutic targets for improved and safer AD treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent findings on AD mechanisms.
  • Analysis of the role of skin barrier defects and Th2 inflammation in AD persistence.
  • Identification of key cytokines and other molecular targets involved in AD.

Main Results:

  • Primary skin barrier defects and Th2 inflammation significantly contribute to AD.
  • Key Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, TSLP, IL-25, IL-31, IL-33) are identified as potential therapeutic targets.
  • Other targets include Janus kinase, phospholipase A2, aryl hydrocarbon receptor, and skin microbiota.

Conclusions:

  • A deeper understanding of AD pathogenesis is crucial for developing novel and safer treatment strategies.
  • Targeting specific molecular pathways and factors offers promising directions for future AD therapies.
