Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

27.4K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

214
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Distribution

269
Drug distribution in the pediatric population exhibits unique challenges and considerations due to the physiological differences between children, particularly neonates and infants, and adults. A crucial aspect of pediatric pharmacology is understanding how these differences impact the pharmacokinetics of various drugs, necessitating age-specific dosing strategies to ensure efficacy and safety.Neonates and infants have a higher total body water content, ~75%–90% of their body weight,...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Metabolism

198
In pediatric care, understanding the nuances of hepatic drug metabolism is crucial, as it significantly differs from that of adults. This divergence is primarily due to the developmental stage of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which affects how medications are processed in the body. In neonates, for instance, the activity of Phase I enzymes—critical for the initial breakdown of drugs—is markedly reduced, functioning at just 20–40% of the levels seen in adults. This reduction poses...

Group Therapy01:26

Group Therapy

379
Group therapy is a sociocultural approach to psychological treatment, where individuals with shared psychological challenges come together under the guidance of a mental health professional. This therapeutic modality offers unique opportunities for individuals to connect, share, and grow within the context of a supportive group. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, group therapy can address a range of psychological concerns effectively, often complementing or surpassing the...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Overview and Drug Absorption

260
Understanding the physiological differences in the pediatric population is crucial for effective pharmacotherapy. Neonates, infants, and children exhibit significant variations in gastric pH, gastric emptying time, intestinal transit time, and biliary function. These variations profoundly affect oral drug absorption, necessitating a nuanced approach to pediatric dosing.Neonates present with a unique physiological profile, having a gastric pH greater than 4 and faster and more irregular gastric...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy education
  • Cultural competence in healthcare

Background:

  • Cultural competence is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.
  • There is a need to integrate cultural competence training into health professions education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of guided activities on cultural competence in occupational therapy students.
  • To determine if structured course activities enhance cultural competence.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-posttest design was employed with two groups of students.
  • A convenience sample of 41 doctoral students in a pediatric occupational therapy course participated.
  • A validated measure of cultural competence change was utilized.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant increase in cultural competence scores was observed from pre-test to post-test.
  • Students participating in guided activities showed greater improvement in cultural competence.
  • Structured activities within the curriculum were associated with enhanced student cultural competence.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating specific guided activities into occupational therapy curricula can effectively improve student cultural competence.
  • These findings have implications for developing culturally responsive occupational therapy education programs.
  • Further research should explore the long-term impact and specific components of effective cultural competence training.
