SI Units: 2019 Redefinition

Measurement is an indispensable part of analytical chemistry. The result of measurement helps quantify a substance's physical property and compare it with the physical property of another substance. Each measurement comprises two components - a number indicating the magnitude and a unit of measurement as a standard for comparison. Further, the same quantity can be measured using different units of measurement, which leads to differences in magnitude.
A standard set of units has been defined...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Cerebral Hemispheres

2.1K
The human brain, a complex organ, is functionally divided into two cerebral hemispheres—left and right. These hemispheres are interconnected by a structure of paramount importance, the corpus callosum. This substantial bundle of neural fibers is not just a bridge between the hemispheres but a crucial element for the brain's comprehensive functioning. It enables efficient communication between the two hemispheres, allowing each side of the brain to control and receive sensory and motor...

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Cerebral malaria is a severe complication of malaria, leading to high mortality and morbidity.
  • Pathophysiological mechanisms include parasite sequestration, cytokine storms, and blood-brain barrier disruption, causing brain edema, ischemia, and hemorrhages.
  • Neurological manifestations range from delirium to coma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of cerebral malaria.
  • To emphasize the importance of early detection and standardized supportive care.
  • To highlight the role of ongoing research in developing novel therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on cerebral malaria pathophysiology and clinical management.
  • Discussion of diagnostic tools including fundoscopy and cerebral imaging.
  • Evaluation of established and emerging treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Intravenous artesunate is the recommended treatment for severe malaria globally.
  • Fundoscopy and cerebral imaging are valuable diagnostic adjuncts.
  • Standardization of supportive care is essential for improving outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Cerebral malaria requires prompt diagnosis and aggressive management.
  • Intravenous artesunate and supportive care are cornerstones of treatment.
  • Further research is needed to identify new therapeutic targets for innovative treatments.
