Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

309
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...

Brain Waves01:23

Brain Waves

4.2K
Brain waves are electrical signals generated by the neurons in the brain, which are regularly monitored to measure mental activities. Brain waves and their frequency ranges can be measured using an electroencephalogram or EEG. There are four main types of brain waves, each with distinct characteristics:

Organization of the Brain01:30

Organization of the Brain

2.7K
The brain is an integral component of the nervous system and serves as the center for processing sensory inputs, making decisions, and directing bodily actions. This complex organ is organized into three primary sections: the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain, each responsible for a range of vital functions.
Hindbrain
The hindbrain, located at the base of the brain, plays a vital role in regulating automatic processes that sustain life. It includes the medulla oblongata, which is essential for...

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles

9.1K
There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen.

Summary

Salmonella rarely causes brain abscess, but this case in a 6-month-old infant shows its slow progression. Optimal resolution of Salmonella brain abscess remains challenging despite surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Brain abscess is a severe condition needing prompt treatment.
  • Common causes include Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and anaerobes.
  • Salmonella infections are typically invasive, especially in the very young, but rarely cause brain abscesses.

Observation:

  • A case of Salmonella brain abscess in a 6-month-old infant is presented.
  • The abscess was located in the right posterior parietal region.
  • Clinical, microbiological, and radiological data were analyzed.

Findings:

  • Salmonella species can cause brain abscesses, though infrequently.
  • These abscesses may progress slowly.
  • Achieving complete resolution can be difficult, even after surgery.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering Salmonella in infant brain abscesses.
  • It highlights diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with Salmonella brain abscesses.
  • Further research may be needed to understand Salmonella's neuroinvasive potential and optimize treatment strategies.
