Respiratory Distress in Newborns
•
0 likes•73 views
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a common lung condition in premature infants born before 37 weeks. RDS is caused by a shortage of pulmonary surfactant, a liquid that helps keep air sacs in the lungs called alveoli open. Babies with RDS tend to breathe fast, grunt, or make an "ugh" sound with each breath and their nostrils may flare. There are several treatment options for RDS including delivering oxygen through a nasal cannula, use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines to push air into the lungs, surfactant delivered directly to the lungs via intubation for severe cases, and medications to calm infants during intubation.

The document discusses several key aspects of neonates (infants in the first 4 weeks of life):
- The Apgar scale is used to assess a newborn's physical condition at 1 and 5 minutes after birth based on factors like heart rate, muscle tone, and color.
- Physical characteristics like weight, length, and appearance are influenced by factors like race, sex, parental size, and maternal health and nutrition.
- Genetics play an important role as neonates inherit genes from their parents that determine traits and risks for certain diseases or conditions.
- During the first weeks, neonates experience weight loss and changes to their head, skin, and body systems as they transition outside the womb.
Twinztastic
The document discusses different types of twins and provides statistics and information about twins. It notes that identical twins come from a single fertilized egg that splits, while fraternal twins come from two separate eggs or sperm. Identical twins are genetically identical, while fraternal twins are as genetically similar as normal siblings. The document also discusses myths and misconceptions about twins, such as the possibility of telepathy or a shared soul between identical twins.

RAP, or recurrent abdominal pain, affects about 10% of school-aged children and is characterized by recurring midline abdominal pain that interrupts normal activities on a monthly basis for at least 3 months. While an organic cause can be found in about 10% of cases, the majority are considered functional pain. The evaluation process aims to rule out potential organic causes through history, physical exam, and selective testing before establishing a diagnosis of functional pain. Reassurance and a return to normal activities are key to treatment, while medications are generally not helpful for functional recurrent abdominal pain.
Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition where a person is born with an extra chromosome 21. This extra genetic material causes delays in physical and mental development. The most common type is Trisomy 21, where there are three copies of chromosome 21 in every cell. People with Down syndrome often have characteristic facial features and health issues such as heart defects and hearing problems. While development is slower, people with Down syndrome can lead healthy lives with the right support and treatment.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition where a person has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two. This extra genetic material causes developmental delays and other issues. Down syndrome can range from mild to severe depending on the individual. The majority of Down syndrome cases are not inherited and are caused by random errors during cell division. Common physical signs include a flattened face, small ears and mouth, upward slanting eyes, and decreased muscle tone at birth. The risk of having a child with Down syndrome increases with the mother's age. Screening tests during pregnancy can detect 87% of Down syndrome cases.

RDS occurs in premature babies whose lungs are not fully developed due to a lack of surfactant. Surfactant coats the air sacs in the lungs and keeps them open for gas exchange. A baby with RDS may experience fast breathing, grunting, changes in skin color or chest retractions. Doctors diagnose RDS through physical exams, chest x-rays, echocardiograms or blood tests. Treatment focuses on replacing surfactant or providing breathing support through nasal CPAP, ventilation or nutrition. While some infants recover, RDS can cause complications like bronchopulmonary dysplasia or brain and lung damage, especially in very premature babies.
Multiple pregnancy

Genetic disorders
Down syndrome is the most common genetic disorder, caused by a third copy of chromosome 21 resulting in a 47 chromosome count instead of the typical 46. It occurs in about 1 in 700 live births due to errors in cell division. Symptoms include physical and intellectual disabilities. Turner syndrome affects females and is caused by complete or partial absence of the second X chromosome. Klinefelter syndrome occurs in males from an extra X chromosome, resulting in a 47, XXY chromosome count. Both Turner and Klinefelter syndromes originate from errors in cell division.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a genetic condition where cilia in the respiratory system do not function properly, preventing the clearance of mucus from the lungs, sinuses, and ears. This leads to frequent respiratory infections. It is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and causes chronic sinus infections, ear infections, and lung disease from a young age. Diagnosis involves examining lung or sinus tissue under a microscope to detect structural defects in the cilia. Treatment focuses on airway clearance techniques and antibiotics to manage infections long-term.
EPISPADIAS.pptx
Epispadias is a rare birth defect where the opening of the urethra is on the upper side of the penis in males or between the clitoris and labia in females rather than at the tip. It occurs during early gestation and can be associated with other defects like bladder exstrophy. Surgical repair is usually recommended to correct the abnormal opening and treat related issues like urinary incontinence or infection, though complications can include stress incontinence or sexual difficulties later in life.
Down s Syndrome CBL.docx
Mrs. Qureshi visited the doctor during her first pregnancy. Tests indicated a low risk of Down syndrome. After birth, the baby was found to have features of Down syndrome including hypotonia, a heart murmur, and facial features. Blood tests confirmed the baby had trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome. The document discusses breaking the news of the diagnosis to the parents and lists learning objectives about genetic trisomies and medical complications in newborns with Down syndrome.
Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition where a person has an extra chromosome, typically chromosome 21. This extra genetic material causes delays in physical and mental development. While the cause is unknown, the risk increases with the mother's age. Down syndrome can be detected before birth through screening tests. It cannot be prevented, but women have options for continuing or terminating the pregnancy if Down syndrome is detected. People with Down syndrome have characteristic physical features including a flat facial profile and inward curving small pinky finger.
Dwarfism
There are over 300 causes of dwarfism, with the most common being a spontaneous mutation of the FGFR3 gene. The two main types of skeletal dysplasia that cause dwarfism are short trunk with average limbs, and average trunk with shorter limbs and larger head. People with dwarfism can lead normal, healthy lives through treatments like surgery, nutrition plans, physical therapy and hormone injections depending on the type of dwarfism. The likelihood of having a child with dwarfism depends on factors like the parents' height and whether one or both parents carry a dwarfism gene.

A Brief History Of Today’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) has evolved significantly from its origins in the early 20th century. Pioneers like Tarnier, Budin, and Couney introduced concepts like incubators and specialized care units that helped increase survival rates for at-risk and premature infants. The first American NICU opened in 1960, and advances in technology throughout the 1960s-1990s allowed even very premature babies to have a chance of survival. Today's NICUs provide highly specialized care using the latest medical technologies and trained staff to support the needs of premature and sick newborns.

Understanding trends in neonatal intensive care is important for shaping its future and ensuring high-quality care for all infants.
Understanding Vaccine Mandates
Vaccines have saved millions of lives by preventing diseases like polio, measles, and diphtheria. Vaccines work by exposing the immune system to weakened or killed pathogens to develop immunity without causing illness. Vaccines are extensively tested for safety and approved by the FDA before being available. When enough of a community is vaccinated through "herd immunity," even those who cannot receive vaccines are protected by not allowing diseases to spread. Maintaining high vaccination rates ensures these diseases do not return and protects future generations for whom many such diseases have no cure.

The condition occurs naturally in neonates at a rate of one out of every 250 to 330 births. Normally, the hole closes before the infant is born, which prevents oxygenated blood from combining with unoxygenated blood.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Equivariant neural networks and representation theory
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
