Resumen
La psoriasis pediátrica se relaciona con numerosas comorbilidades, incluidos problemas metabólicos y enfermedades autoinmunes. La detección y el manejo tempranos son cruciales para los niños con psoriasis para abordar estos riesgos para la salud asociados.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Dermatología; Pediatría; Inmunología
Sus antecedentes:
- La psoriasis es un trastorno inflamatorio global que afecta a niños y adultos. El inicio en la infancia ocurre en casi un tercio de los casos, lo que requiere un diagnóstico temprano. Las manifestaciones cutáneas son solo una parte del iceberg; los problemas extracutáneos son comunes.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de la psoriasis pediátrica. Identificar la prevalencia de comorbilidades en niños diagnosticados con psoriasis.
Principales métodos:
- Se realizó un estudio observacional transversal durante 36 meses en el norte de la India. Se incluyeron pacientes de 9 meses a 18 años con diagnóstico clínico de psoriasis. Los datos se recopilaron a través de un formulario estructurado en un hospital de tercer nivel.
Principales resultados:
- Se estudiaron 86 pacientes pediátricos (54,65 % hombres); la psoriasis crónica en placas fue la más común (63 %). Las comorbilidades incluyeron artritis psoriásica (9,30 %), IMC anormal (56,97 %), glucosa en ayunas alterada (11,62 %) y síndrome metabólico (9,30 %). Las enfermedades autoinmunes afectaron al 48,83 %, siendo el hipotiroidismo la más común.
Conclusiones:
- La psoriasis en niños se asocia con comorbilidades significativas, lo que refleja los hallazgos en adultos. El inicio temprano de la psoriasis sugiere que los riesgos de comorbilidades comienzan en la infancia. Esto resalta la necesidad de una intervención y manejo tempranos de la psoriasis pediátrica y sus afecciones asociadas.

01:26Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion
214
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

01:17Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Distribution
276
Drug distribution in the pediatric population exhibits unique challenges and considerations due to the physiological differences between children, particularly neonates and infants, and adults. A crucial aspect of pediatric pharmacology is understanding how these differences impact the pharmacokinetics of various drugs, necessitating age-specific dosing strategies to ensure efficacy and safety.Neonates and infants have a higher total body water content, ~75%–90% of their body weight,...

01:24Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Metabolism
203
In pediatric care, understanding the nuances of hepatic drug metabolism is crucial, as it significantly differs from that of adults. This divergence is primarily due to the developmental stage of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which affects how medications are processed in the body. In neonates, for instance, the activity of Phase I enzymes—critical for the initial breakdown of drugs—is markedly reduced, functioning at just 20–40% of the levels seen in adults. This reduction poses...

02:24Ribosome Profiling
4.1K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.

01:23Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Overview and Drug Absorption
262
Understanding the physiological differences in the pediatric population is crucial for effective pharmacotherapy. Neonates, infants, and children exhibit significant variations in gastric pH, gastric emptying time, intestinal transit time, and biliary function. These variations profoundly affect oral drug absorption, necessitating a nuanced approach to pediatric dosing.Neonates present with a unique physiological profile, having a gastric pH greater than 4 and faster and more irregular gastric...

01:12Taping Over Different Ground Profiles
358
Taping over varying ground profiles requires careful adaptation to achieve accurate measurements. On smooth, level ground with minimal vegetation, the tape can rest directly on the ground. Here, the taping team, typically consisting of a head and a rear tapeman, coordinates their positions with clear communication. The rear tapeman holds the tape at the starting point and guides the head tapeman toward a range pole placed beyond the endpoint, using hand or voice signals to ensure alignment.On...
