Summary
Bullous impetigo, a bacterial skin infection, presents with localized blisters. Early recognition and appropriate treatment, including intravenous cefazolin, are crucial for pediatric patients.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Pediatrics
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Impetigo is a common superficial bacterial skin infection.
- Bullous impetigo is characterized by easily rupturing flaccid bullae and localized blistering.
- Unlike staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, toxins in bullous impetigo act locally.

Dural hernia following spinal endoscopic surgery is a rare complication. Here, we report a case of nerve root hernia associated with the absence of dural repair, prolonged operation time, and increased abdominal pressure due to postoperative constipation. Early dural tear repair and monitoring postoperative constipation can help prevent cauda equina...

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.

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...

High Frequency Oscillations (HFOs) have emerged as presurgical biomarkers for the identification of the epileptogenic zone in pediatric patients with medically refractory epilepsy. A methodology for the noninvasive recording, detection, and localization of HFOs with simultaneous scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) is...
