Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

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...

Functional Groups

Functional Groups

Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Functionalism

Functionalism

William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.
James envisioned psychology's...

Mechanical Protein Functions

Mechanical Protein Functions

Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.

Structural Protein Function

Structural Protein Function

Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity. In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Area of Science:

Child Psychology
Refugee Studies
Mental Health Research

Background:

The Syrian civil war has led to a significant refugee crisis, particularly affecting children's development and mental well-being.
Syrian refugee children, especially those in Turkey, face unique challenges due to war, conflict, and displacement.
There is a growing need to understand the psychological impact on this vulnerable population.

Purpose of the Study:

To critically review existing literature on the psychological functioning of Syrian refugee children in Turkey.
To identify theoretical and methodological limitations in current research.
To propose guidelines for enhancing future research and practical interventions.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review focusing on psychological functioning, trauma, and interventions.

Analysis of studies concerning Syrian refugee children in urban and camp settings in Turkey.

Critical appraisal of research methodologies and theoretical frameworks.

Main Results:

Existing literature primarily addresses psychological trauma, related symptoms, and maladaptive functioning.
Research predominantly focuses on psychosocial interventions aimed at mitigating these issues.
The review synthesizes current findings to establish a knowledge base on Syrian refugee children's mental health.

Conclusions:

Current research on Syrian refugee children in Turkey largely centers on trauma and interventions.
Significant theoretical and methodological gaps exist in the existing body of literature.
Improved research and practice guidelines are crucial for better supporting refugee children's mental health and development.
