Summary
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a patient-focused approach that improves surgical outcomes. While widely adopted in adults, its application in pediatric surgery is growing, promising better global surgical care for children.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Perioperative Medicine
- Surgical Outcomes
Background:
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is established in adult surgical care.
- Adoption of ERAS protocols in pediatric surgical subspecialties has been slow.
- ERAS involves a multimodal, multidisciplinary approach to perioperative management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the growing exploration of ERAS in pediatric surgery.
- To emphasize the potential of ERAS to improve surgical care for children globally.
- To underscore the significance of the 2018 Pediatric ERAS World Congress.
Main Methods:
- Review of the principles and application of ERAS in a pediatric context.
- Discussion of the synergistic effects of ERAS components.
- Emphasis on implementation and adherence to ERAS protocols.
Main Results:
- ERAS strategies, when implemented effectively, demonstrate potential to enhance surgical outcomes.
- Increasing evidence suggests ERAS benefits pediatric surgical patients.
- The pediatric surgical community is actively exploring and adopting ERAS.
Conclusions:
- ERAS represents a promising paradigm shift for pediatric surgical safety and care.
- Continued research and implementation are crucial for realizing the full potential of ERAS in children.
- The global adoption of ERAS in pediatric surgery is gaining momentum.

01:50Global Climate Change
28.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

01:17Work Done During Volume Change
5.1K
In mechanics, work is done on an object when the force acting on it displaces the object. In thermodynamics, work done on a system can be estimated when the system's volume changes during any thermodynamic process.
Consider a gas confined to a cylinder fitted with a movable piston at one end. If the gas expands from volume V1 to volume V2, it exerts a force on the piston, such that the piston moves by a distance dr.
The work done by the gas on the piston can be expressed as

01:22Net Change Theorem

The Net Change Theorem is a fundamental principle in calculus that establishes a direct relationship between a function’s rate of change and its accumulated change over an interval. Mathematically, it states that the definite integral of a function's derivative over a given interval [a,b] yields the net change in the original function:This theorem has significant applications in various real-world scenarios, including physics, economics, and engineering. A particularly useful application...

03:00Standard Entropy Change for a Reaction
24.1K
Entropy is a state function, so the standard entropy change for a chemical reaction (ΔS°rxn) can be calculated from the difference in standard entropy between the products and the reactants.

02:19Le Chatelier's Principle: Changing Temperature
35.1K
Consistent with the law of mass action, an equilibrium stressed by a change in concentration will shift to re-establish equilibrium without any change in the value of the equilibrium constant, K. When an equilibrium shifts in response to a temperature change, however, it is re-established with a different relative composition that exhibits a different value for the equilibrium constant.
To understand this phenomenon, consider the elementary reaction:

The movement of a car along a highway can be examined through key principles of calculus and kinematics. As the car travels, its position varies over time and can be represented mathematically as a function of time. Analyzing the rate of these changes enables the measurement of velocity and acceleration, fundamental aspects of motion analysis.Velocity describes how position changes over time. The average velocity during a specific time interval is calculated by dividing the change in position...
