Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

262
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...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Reaction Mechanisms

30.5K
Chemical reactions often occur in a stepwise fashion, involving two or more distinct reactions taking place in a sequence. A balanced equation indicates the reacting species and the product species, but it reveals no details about how the reaction occurs at the molecular level. The reaction mechanism (or reaction path) provides details regarding the precise, step-by-step process by which a reaction occurs.
For instance, the decomposition of ozone appears to follow a mechanism with two steps:

Relating Reaction Mechanisms
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Diseases
  • Pediatric Eye Care

Background:

  • Keratoconus is a progressive corneal disease affecting vision.
  • Current treatments, like collagen cross-linking, are most effective when initiated early.
  • Existing school screenings in the USA do not detect keratoconus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for early keratoconus detection in children.
  • To propose topographic screening in elementary schools.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current pediatric vision screening practices.
  • Analysis of keratoconus progression and treatment efficacy.
  • Proposal for integrating topographic screening into school health programs.

Main Results:

  • Keratoconus significantly impacts visual acuity, often requiring specialized correction.
  • Early intervention with treatments like collagen cross-linking improves long-term prognosis.
  • Current school screenings miss opportunities for early keratoconus diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Topographic screening in elementary schools is recommended for early keratoconus detection in children.
  • Early detection facilitates timely treatment, potentially preventing severe vision loss.
  • Implementing this screening can lead to better long-term visual outcomes for affected children.
