Insights

International human rights conventions and national policies protect children with neurologic conditions. Healthcare providers can promote these rights, fostering inclusive environments and holistic care for pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Human Rights Law
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • Children with neurologic conditions require robust legal and policy frameworks to ensure their human rights.
  • Existing regulations guide the development of comprehensive care systems, inclusive environments, and accessible communities.
  • These frameworks are essential for enabling children with disabilities to reach their full potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review human rights conventions relevant to children with disabilities.
  • To explore current approaches for healthcare providers in promoting rights for pediatric patients.
  • To identify advocacy avenues and strategies for a rights-based approach in social neurology.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a narrative review.
  • It synthesizes information on international human rights conventions and national policies.
  • It examines current practices and proposes future directions for healthcare professionals.

Main Results:

  • International and national legal instruments are crucial for safeguarding the rights of children with neurologic conditions.
  • Healthcare providers play a vital role in advocating for patient rights and promoting inclusive care.
  • A rights-based approach integrated into social neurology can enhance holistic care delivery.

Conclusions:

  • Human rights conventions and policies are fundamental for the well-being and development of children with neurologic conditions.
  • Healthcare professionals are key stakeholders in advocating for and implementing rights-based care.
  • Adopting a social neurology framework with a focus on rights ensures comprehensive and equitable support for these children and their families.

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region02:40

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Conditions on Early Earth

Around 4 billion years ago, oceans began to condense on earth while volcanic eruptions released nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen into the primordial atmosphere. However, organisms with the characteristics of life were not initially present on earth. Scientists have used experimentation to determine how organisms evolved that could grow, reproduce, and maintain an internal environment.
