Atomic Mass01:52

Atomic Mass

70.4K
Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

Molar Mass

The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains but by the quantity of each type of atom or ion. For example, water, H2O, and hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, are alike in that their respective molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However, because a hydrogen peroxide molecule contains two oxygen atoms, as opposed to the water molecule, which has only one, the two substances exhibit very different properties.

Genetic Screens

5.8K
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...

Mass and Weight01:19

Mass and Weight

15.4K
Mass and weight are often used interchangeably in everyday conversation. For example,  medical records often show our weight in kilograms, but never in the correct units of newtons. In physics, however, there is an important distinction. Weight is the pull of the Earth on an object. It depends on the distance from the center of the Earth. Weight dramatically varies if we leave the Earth's surface, unlike mass, which does not vary with location. On the Moon, for example, the...

Atomic Number and Mass Number01:12

Atomic Number and Mass Number

16.7K
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its atomic number (Z). This is the defining trait of an element. Its value determines the identity of the atom. For example, any atom that contains six protons is the element carbon and has the atomic number 6, regardless of how many neutrons or electrons it may have. A neutral atom must contain the same number of positive and negative charges, so the number of protons equals the number of electrons. This means that the atomic number also...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Mass electroencephalogram (EEG) screenings identified 1.7% of schoolchildren with paroxysmal discharges, suggesting epilepsy. This screening method is valuable for detecting previously unnoticed seizure disorders in children.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatrics
    • Clinical Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Epilepsy in children can present subtly, complicating early diagnosis.
    • Mass screening electroencephalogram (EEG) studies aim to identify neurological abnormalities in school-aged populations.

    Observation:

    • A large-scale EEG screening of 5,202 schoolchildren (grades 1-9) from 1971-1978 revealed paroxysmal discharges in 1.7% of participants.
    • Focal paroxysmal discharges were most common, frequently involving temporal, occipital, and central brain regions.
    • A subsequent 1978 screening of 1,921 primary school students (grades 1-6) indicated 2.5% had suspected epileptic seizures and 7.9% had a history of febrile convulsions.

    Findings:

    • Subclinical seizure activity, including autonomic, psychomotor, and absence seizures, exists in seemingly healthy children.
    • Abnormal EEG findings, especially in basic brain activity, were common in epileptic children but did not correlate with behavioral or academic issues.

    Implications:

    • Mass screening EEG is a useful tool for the early detection of undiagnosed epilepsy and seizure disorders in children.
    • Findings highlight the prevalence of subclinical epilepsy and the importance of routine neurological assessments in pediatric populations.
    • Further research is needed to understand the long-term impact of subclinical seizures and to refine screening protocols.
