Summary
Pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis management needs updates despite surgical advances. This review covers endoscopic sinus surgery, balloon sinuplasty, complex cases, and skull base tumor/choanal atresia repair in children.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) management has lagged behind surgical innovations.
- Advances in pediatric skull base surgery and tumor removal are notable.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) techniques and risks in children.
- To discuss balloon sinuplasty, complicated CRS, and skull base tumor/choanal atresia repair in pediatric patients.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of recent advancements in pediatric endonasal surgery.
- Synthesis of information on surgical techniques, perioperative care, and outcomes.
Main Results:
- ESS tools and procedures have advanced, but CRS care requires updates.
- Balloon sinuplasty shows promise for pediatric sinonasal issues.
- New insights into skull base tumor surgery and choanal atresia repair exist.
Conclusions:
- Further research is needed to update pediatric CRS management protocols.
- Endoscopic techniques offer evolving solutions for pediatric sinonasal and skull base conditions.

781
Arrhythmias are disturbances in the heart's rhythm that lead to abnormal heartbeats. These irregularities can originate from different parts of the heart and are classified based on their origin and nature.
Types of Arrhythmias
Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...

01:29Drug 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...

01:27Anatomy of the Heart
119.4K
The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.

01:10Nature and Nurture
22.2K
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,...
