A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity
Genes contain DNA instructions to make proteins and determine inherited traits. Dominant alleles produce their trait when present in one copy, while recessive alleles require two copies to produce their trait. Genetic counseling helps people understand and adapt to genetic conditions by interpreting family histories, providing education, and promoting informed choices. It involves pre-test counseling to provide informed consent and post-test counseling to disclose and discuss test results and follow-up plans. Genetic counselors are specially trained to obtain risk assessments, explain adjusted cancer risks based on family history and tests, and provide information and support for inherited predispositions.

Health insurance literacy and health disparities
This document discusses health insurance literacy and its connection to health disparities. It begins by defining health insurance literacy as the ability to make informed decisions about purchasing and using health insurance. Lower levels of health insurance literacy are associated with being elderly, an ethnic minority, having a lower socioeconomic status or education level, or being uninsured. The document then provides statistics on health insurance enrollment in Kansas, which has seen growth in Medicaid enrollment but a decline in the uninsured rate. Finally, it describes several resources for improving health insurance literacy, including websites that explain insurance terms and how to use insurance cards.
Brain eating parasite kills florida boy
A 12-year-old boy has been killed by a brain-eating parasite. Zachary Reyna, or Labelle, Fla., died at Miami Children's Hospital Saturday afternoon. According to CNN on Aug. 25, 2013, a ventilator was used so that his organs may be donated.
00018824
This document discusses a case study of three families - a white American family, Sudanese family, and Vietnamese family - visiting a sleep clinic. The doctor, Dr. Williams, treats the families differently based on their race, ethnicity, culture, and socioeconomic status. He is most comfortable with and provides the best treatment to the white American family. However, he makes assumptions about the Sudanese family's background and insurance status that leads him to turn them away without proper treatment. He also does not understand the Vietnamese family's culture, providing treatment contrary to their expectations. The document argues that factors like cultural diversity, health literacy, and a provider's perceptions can influence disparities in health outcomes between patients.
7 pediatric research
Vertical transmission is the most common way HIV is spread in children, accounting for over 90% of pediatric HIV cases. Without treatment, vertical transmission rates vary by country from 12-30% in the US and Europe to 25-52% in Africa and Haiti. Transmission can occur during pregnancy, childbirth, or postnatally through breastfeeding. Treatment of HIV-infected children is complicated and requires a multidisciplinary team. The current trend is to use at least three antiretroviral drugs selected based on factors like clinical presentation, age, CD4 count, viral load, tolerability, interactions and availability.
Bronquiolitis guias britanicas
This clinical guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, investigation, treatment and management of bronchiolitis in infants under 12 months of age. Bronchiolitis is a common respiratory condition in young infants caused by viral infections such as respiratory syncytial virus. It requires supportive care and often hospital admission. The guideline aims to reduce unnecessary therapies and investigations, and provide guidance on referral patterns between primary, secondary and tertiary care. It focuses on clinically diagnosed bronchiolitis in otherwise healthy infants under 12 months, but also considers infants up to 24 months of age who were born prematurely or have underlying medical conditions which increase their risk.
Bronchiolitis 2
This evidence-based guideline provides recommendations for the management of bronchiolitis in infants and children under 18 months of age. Key recommendations include:
1) The diagnosis of bronchiolitis is clinical based on symptoms of a respiratory infection followed by cough, fast breathing, wheezing and crackles without need for testing.
2) Treatment is supportive with oxygen and oral hydration; medications like bronchodilators, steroids and antibiotics are not routinely recommended.
3) Severity is classified as mild, moderate, severe or life-threatening to determine appropriate care setting and need for ambulance transport to hospital.
Bronchiolitis
Acute respiratory infections are infectious diseases of the airways lasting less than 15 days, sometimes causing pneumonia. They are an important public health problem globally. In children, the respiratory tract is shorter and more compact than adults, allowing easier access for bacteria and microorganisms to the lungs. The alveoli in children contain fewer gas exchange surfaces and increased congestion. The child's airways are smaller, facilitating obstruction if mucus or edema is present. Bronchiolitis is an acute infection causing lower airway obstruction, mainly affecting children under 1 year old. Treatment depends on severity of respiratory compromise.
Blts
This document discusses bronchiolitis, which is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in infants under 2 years of age. It is usually caused by viral infections like respiratory syncytial virus. The symptoms include wheezing, difficulty breathing, coughing, and nasal congestion. Treatment is supportive and involves fluids, nasal suctioning, oxygen supplementation, and in severe cases, mechanical ventilation. Preventive measures include palivizumab injections for high-risk infants to reduce hospitalizations from RSV infection.
Mosaic pattern
This document discusses the mosaic pattern seen on CT scans of the chest. It describes how the pattern shows areas of increased and decreased density that correspond to areas of ground glassing and air trapping, respectively. The black areas represent air trapping and can be seen in conditions like bronchiolitis obliterans, sarcoidosis, and asthma. The white areas represent ground glassing and alveolitis/pneumonitis, seen in diseases like desquamative interstitial pneumonia and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. The mosaic pattern results from airway disease causing air trapping or alveolitis/pneumonitis causing ground glassing.
Bronchiolitis overview
Bronchiolitis is commonly caused by viral infections in young children under 2 years old, most commonly respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It involves inflammation of the small airways (bronchioles) causing wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Symptoms typically last 2-5 days but wheezing may persist over a week. Treatment is supportive with oxygen, fluids, and monitoring for deterioration. Antibiotics are not effective as it is primarily a viral illness. Hospitalization may be required for severe cases or young infants. While symptoms are usually self-limited, bronchiolitis can increase the risk of subsequent wheezing and asthma.
Bronchiolitis
This document discusses bronchiolitis, a common lower respiratory tract infection in young children caused by viruses like RSV. It describes two cases of infants presenting with symptoms of bronchiolitis like nasal congestion, cough, poor feeding and respiratory distress. It covers assessing severity, investigations, management including oxygen, nutrition, monitoring and intensive care if needed. While bronchodilators and corticosteroids are often used, the document notes clinical trials have not found clear benefits for their use in viral bronchiolitis. Mild cases can be managed at home without specific therapy, while moderate to severe cases require admission.

Bronchiolitis
Bronchiolitis is a common respiratory infection in young children caused primarily by viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It leads to inflammation of the small airways (bronchioles) and symptoms like wheezing. Risk factors for more severe disease include prematurity, lung or heart conditions. Treatment is supportive with oxygen, fluids, and respiratory support as needed. While symptoms often improve in a few weeks, bronchiolitis is associated with increased risk of recurrent wheezing and asthma later in childhood. Prevention strategies include handwashing, avoiding tobacco smoke, and immunoprophylaxis for high-risk infants.
bronchiolitis in paediatrics
Bronchiolitis is an inflammatory disease of the small airways caused primarily by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in infants under 1 year old. It leads to obstruction of the small airways due to inflammation, mucus production, and edema. Clinically, infants present with rhinorrhea, cough, tachypnea, wheezing and respiratory distress. Chest X-ray may show hyperinflated lungs. Management is supportive with oxygen, hydration and sometimes bronchodilators. Most infants recover within 2 weeks but some may develop long-term wheezing.
Bronchiolitis in children
Bronchiolitis is a common viral infection that affects infants under 2 years old, usually caused by RSV. It involves inflammation in the small airways of the lungs. Symptoms include cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and low oxygen levels. Infants may require admission if their oxygen levels drop below 94%, respiratory rate is over 70, or they have trouble feeding. Treatment focuses on supportive care like oxygen, feeding support, and nebulized saline. Most infants recover in 4-5 days but cough can last 2-4 weeks.
