Children differ from adults both physically and psychologically according to this document. Physically, children have proportionately larger body surfaces, thinner skin, higher respiratory rates, and more rapidly developing tissues and organs. As a result, children are more susceptible to dehydration, absorption of substances through the skin and lungs, and effects on rapidly developing tissues. Psychologically, children experience more separation anxiety and have shorter attention spans than adults. The document outlines many anatomical, physiological and psychological differences between children and adults to highlight how these differences impact nursing care.
Children and adults differ physically and mentally.
As a nurses it is necessary to learn the differences to deliver the care accordingly.
CLASSIFICATION:
Anatomical differences
Physiological differences
Psychological differences
Children are more prone to dehydration than adults. At the same time, exposure to many chemical agents and some biological agents leads to vomiting and diarrhea.
As a result, children may be more symptomatic and show symptoms earlier than adults.
Children have a higher proportion of rapidly growing tissues than adults, and some agents, including ionizing radiation and mustard gas, significantly affect rapidly growing tissues.
As a result, children are more prone to ionizing radiation and other agents that affect rapidly growing tissue than adults.
Children have relatively small airways compared with adults. The smaller the caliber of the airway, the greater the reduction in airflow as a result of increased pulmonary secretions that occur following exposure to chemicals or edema from inhalation of hot gases
As a result, children suffer more pulmonary pathology than adults at the same level of exposure.

There are a many differences between children and adults like physiological, anatomical, cognitive, social and emotional. These all impact on the way of illness and disease present in children and young people, as well as the way healthcare is provided. Adult have completed period of growth and development and in children growth and development ongoing So as nurses it is necessary to understand these differences to deliver the care accordingly.
Every year more than 10 million children die in developing countries due to acute respiratory infections (mostly pneumonia), diarrhea, measles, malaria, or malnutrition - and often to a combination of these illnesses. In 1990s, the WHO, in collaboration with UNICEF and many other agencies, institutions and individuals, responded to this challenge by developing a strategy known as the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMNCI).This strategy adopted in India as Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI). IMNCI caters to two groups of children
• 0-2 months, referred to as young infants.
• 2 months to 5 years, referred to as children.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
2. INTRODUCTION
• Children and adults differ physically and
mentally.
• As a nurses it is necessary to learn the
differences to deliver the care accordingly.
4. ANATOMICAL DIFFERENCES::
• SIZE- different sized children according to age.
Thus the usage of various sized cots in
paediatric wards.
• Greater size and WEIGHT of the newborn’s
head as compared to the body length and
weight.
• Immaturity and inadequate ossification- prone
for injuries.
• Sutures and skulls are not united.
5. • Fontanels are not closed.
• Shape of the head and chest can be altered
by constant pressure from lying in one
position.
• Muscles are 25% of weight in infants and it is
40% in adult.
6. DRUG DOSAGE::
• Excessive IV fluids and
medications easily causes pedal
edema.
• Hence rate of flow should be
adjusted.
• Dosage calculation of drug is also
necessary.
7. MOUTH
• Infants tongue is large.
• Nasal and oral airway passages are relatively
small making the baby more prone to airway
obstruction.
• Nose breathers till 6 months of age. (breathing
difficulty in respiratory infections).
8. • EYES:
No tears in early infancy- due to
poor functional development
of lacrimal gland.
• EUSTACHIAN TUBE::
• It is short and straight in
children (10 degree in children
and 40 degree in adults).
• Air sinuses are not fully
developed.
• Sore throat extends to otitis
media because of the
closeness of it to throat.
9. • TRACHEA::
Short and narrow trachea under 5 years-
susceptible to foreign body aspiration.
• GI TRACT::
In children cardiac sphincter of the stomach is
relaxed.
Vomiting is so frequent, hence proper positioning
of the child during feed is so important.
Poor protection of the liver and spleen – prone
for trauma.
10. • EXCRETION::
By utilizing energy substrate for the process of
growth, the load presented to the excretory
pathway is decreased.
12. • BASAL METABOLIC RATE::
BMR rate is high in newborn.
In neonate 6-8ml of oxygen/ kg/ min is
normal whereas 2-4 ml of oxygen/kg/min is
normal in adults.
Increased CO2 due to more metabolic rate.
• TEMPERATURE REGULATION::
Poor thermo regulation is attributed to
immaturity of the hypothalamus.
Shivering and sweating mechanisms are
absent in newborn.
13. • Brown adipose tissue in newborn::
Reserve of brown fat from which heat can be
liberated by non shivering thermogenesis .
Once used brown fat cannot be replaced.
• VOLUNTARY CONTROL::
o No voluntary control over the environment or
activity.
o ( Eg .) On cold day adult used to wear socks,
woolen clothes etc. but the child depends on
the care takers.
14. • PROPORTION OF WATER::
ICF- Less
ECF- More (double than the adults)
Easily fluctuates during the GI infections.
• BLOOD VOLUME::
Neonate- 85 ml/kg of BW
Adult- 60-70 ml/kg of BW.
15. • GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE::
Concentration of urine in newborn is 800
mOsmol /L whereas in adults it is 1400
mOsmol /L.
GFR and tubular functions are lower in
neonates than adult because low blood supply
to kidney, smaller pore size and less filtration
power across nephron .
GFR- 38 ml/ min (neonate)
GFR- 125 ml/min (adult)
16. • ALIMENTARY TRACT::
o Water absorption is poor – faeces of the child
is watery.
o Dehydration leads to circulatory failure within
24 hours if treatment is inadequate.
• CARDIO VASCULAR SYSTEM::
Change from fetal to normal circulation.
Heart rate is more in children.
Newborn – 110-160 beats/ min.
17. • NORMAL CIRCULATION- FETAL CIRCULATION::
Stoppage of placental circulation
Rt atrial pressure suddenly falls
Decreased pulmonary pressure
Increased left side pressure
Increased left ventricular output
Cessation and reduction of flow via PDA
18. • Functional closure- within few hours after
delivery
• Structural closure- within 6 weeks
Foramen ovale - fossa ovalis
Ductus arteriosus - ligamentum arteriosus
Ductus venosus - ligamentum venosum
Umbilical veins- ligamentum teres
19. • RESPIRATION::
• Respiratory rate is 35-40 breaths/ min.
• HEPATIC FUNCTION::
• Immature- physiological jaundice.
• Production of albumin, clotting factors and
vitamin K are less.
• Iron reserve is less.
20. • CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM::
90% of brain growth takes place by 2 years of
age.
Nerve endings in the retina (rods and cones)
are not fully developed. Thus the images are
blurred and colourless for few weeks.
21. PSYCHOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES::
• Fear , escape and avoid strangers till 5 years of
age. Explore the environment.
• INFANCY- more bonding with parents.
Seperation anxiety is very common.
• TODDLERS – Negativistic behaviours.
• PRE SCHOOLER- short attention span, easily
distractable .
• ADOLESCENTS- Identity of peer, confusion.
22. • Children have a proportionately
larger body surface area(BSA) than
adults. The smaller the patient, the
greater the ratio of surface area to
size.
23. • Children have thinner skin than adults.
Their epidermis is thinner and under-
keratinized, compared with adults. As a
result, children are at risk for increased
absorption of agents that can be
absorbed through the skin.
24. • Children have higher respiratory rates
than adults. Higher respirator rates lead
to proportionately higher minute
volumes.
• As a result, children may be more
susceptible to agents absorbed through
the pulmonary route than adults with the
same exposure. Children may also
respond more rapidly to such agents.
25. • Children are generally shorter than
adults, their breathing zone is lower to
the ground. At the same time, many
agents that are aerosolized are heavier
than air.
26. • Children have immature blood-brain
barriers and ENCHANCED central nervous
system (CNS) receptivity.
• As a result, children may exhibit a
prevalence of neurological symptoms.
27. • Children are more prone to dehydration
than adults. At the same time, exposure
to many chemical agents and some
biological agents leads to vomiting and
diarrhea.
• As a result, children may be more
symptomatic and show symptoms earlier
than adults.
28. • Children have a higher proportion of
rapidly growing tissues than adults, and
some agents, including ionizing radiation
and mustard gas, significantly affect
rapidly growing tissues.
• As a result, children are more prone to
ionizing radiation and other agents that
affect rapidly growing tissue than adults.
29. • Children have relatively small airways
compared with adults. The smaller the
caliber of the airway, the greater the
reduction in airflow as a result of
increased pulmonary secretions that
occur following exposure to chemicals or
edema from inhalation of hot gases
• As a result, children suffer more
pulmonary pathology than adults at the
same level of exposure.
30. • While IV medications may be the
recommended prescription, vascular access in
children can be difficult. The smaller the child,
the more difficult vascular access becomes.
Managing the many size-related issues that
arise in acute emergencies presents problems;
the variation in children’s sizes further
complicates the issue.
• As a result, errors and delays in treatment,
and discomfort in drug dosing, may occur.
