Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon

Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon

The tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomenon is a cognitive experience characterized by a temporary inability to retrieve specific information from memory despite having a strong feeling of knowing the information. Although individuals cannot access the target word or detail, they frequently recall related elements, such as its initial letter, syllable count, or context. This partial retrieval often causes frustration, as one might recognize a familiar face or know that a name starts with a specific...

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...

Position-effect Variegation

Position-effect Variegation

In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

Nature and Nurture

Nature and Nurture

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,...

Area of Science:

Pediatrics
Rheumatology
Vascular Medicine

Background:

Raynaud phenomenon, first described in the 1860s, is a condition affecting blood circulation.
It is characterized by exaggerated vasoconstriction of extremities in response to cold or stress.
While commonly associated with adults, its occurrence in pediatric populations warrants specific consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the question of whether Raynaud phenomenon occurs in children.
To outline the appropriate clinical course of action for pediatric cases.
To differentiate between primary and secondary forms of Raynaud phenomenon in children.

Main Methods:

Clinical observation and case review of pediatric patients presenting with Raynaud phenomenon.
Evaluation of diagnostic markers including antinuclear antibody (ANA) and specific autoantibodies.
Assessment of nail fold capillary microscopy for indicative changes.

Main Results:

Raynaud phenomenon is observed in children, including those in their first decade of life.
The majority of pediatric cases are primary Raynaud phenomenon, typically benign.
A subset of children exhibit secondary Raynaud phenomenon, potentially signaling underlying systemic illness.

Conclusions:

Raynaud phenomenon is a recognized condition in pediatric patients.
Primary Raynaud phenomenon in children generally has a favorable prognosis.
Children with positive antinuclear antibody, specific autoantibodies for connective tissue disease, or abnormal nail fold capillaries require referral to pediatric rheumatology for further management and monitoring.
