Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

293
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...

Manipulation and Analysis

GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Overview of Microscopy Techniques

The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...

Brick Cutting Techniques

Brick-cutting techniques involve various tools and methods to shape bricks for construction. A mason's hammer with a chisel-pointed end is used for basic shaping through sharp, precise strikes. For more complex shapes requiring higher precision, a power saw with a water-cooled diamond blade is used.
Cut bricks are categorized by size. Bricks cut to half their original length are called half-bats, while those cut to three-fourths their length are known as three-fourth bats.
Special types of...

Aseptic techniques prevent contamination, ensure experimental accuracy, and protect researchers and microbial cultures. These techniques are essential in clinical, industrial, and research settings where sterility is required.Maintaining Sterility in Laboratory PracticesScientists maintain sterility by sterilizing tools with heat or chemicals, disinfecting work surfaces, and handling cultures in controlled environments. Working near an open flame or within a laminar flow hood reduces the risk...

Steel Fastening Techniques

Steel sections can be joined together through various fastening techniques including riveting, bolting, and welding, each suitable for different structural requirements and conditions.
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
Bolting is another...

    Summary

    Manual manipulation techniques are not proven effective for infant torticollis treatment. Current evidence is limited and uncertain, suggesting caution when considering these interventions for infant neck conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Manual Therapies
    • Evidence-Based Medicine

    Background:

    • Infant torticollis is commonly treated with manipulation techniques by chiropractors, physiotherapists, and osteopaths.
    • This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of these manipulation techniques for infant torticollis.

    Approach:

    • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, AMED, PEDro, Index to Chiropractic Literature) in August 2017.
    • Included were randomized controlled studies for efficacy and observational studies for adverse events.

    Key Points:

    • Two studies indicated manual therapy manipulation showed no significant difference compared to parental guidance, physiotherapy, or home exercises for infant torticollis.
    • One study suggested osteopathy may improve symmetry, but clinical significance remains unclear.

  • No serious adverse events were linked to manipulation in randomized trials or a large patient series, though harm is possible if underlying causes are severe.

    • Conclusions:

    • Current evidence does not demonstrate the efficacy of manipulation techniques for infant torticollis.
    • The existing evidence base is considered uncertain, necessitating cautious interpretation of findings.
