What’s new in pediatric infectious diseases

Human cytomegalovirus commonly infects over half of adults worldwide and can cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. The document describes developing a fluorescence-based screening assay to discover drugs from the NIH Clinical Collection Library that can inhibit HCMV infection, as current antiviral drugs have issues with efficacy, resistance, and toxicity. A total of 72 compounds were screened, and two potential hits were identified that significantly reduced virus-encoded GFP fluorescence without affecting cell viability. Further studies are needed to determine the mechanism and stage of virus replication block for the identified drug candidates.

This study examined the prevalence of eye disorders in 5918 children aged 5-16 in Dehradun, India. The highest rates of ocular morbidity were found in children under 10 years of age (6.48%), decreasing to 4.4% in older children. No significant relationship was found between sex and eye disorders. The most common cause of visual impairment was refractive errors. The study concludes effective vision screening in schools can help detect correctable issues like refractive errors and minimize long-term visual disability.

proposal: Influences of Rhetoric in the Debate of Vaccines and Autism

hussein opari

This document summarizes a research paper on the influences of rhetoric in the debate about vaccines and autism. The paper introduces the topic by noting the rising rates of autism diagnoses and the debate around potential links to vaccination. It then outlines the study's justification, research questions, and methodology. The study will analyze medical records and interviews to explore the evidence for links between vaccination, mercury levels, and autism rates in children. It will also review previous literature on both sides of the debate. The goal is to determine if vaccination is conclusively linked to autism or if other environmental factors may play a role.

This document summarizes a systematic review of interventions to increase whooping cough (pertussis) vaccination rates. The review analyzed 25 studies and identified 5 that met the criteria of focusing on behavior-based interventions. Physician-led interventions showed the best results in increasing vaccinations. The review recommends allocating more funding to vaccination promotion campaigns and putting administrative pressure on physicians to advocate for vaccinations. Future interventions should utilize health behavior theories like the Health Belief Model to address barriers and increase perceived risk of the disease.

This document provides blood pressure levels by age and height percentile for boys. It includes tables with the systolic and diastolic blood pressure ranges for percentiles 5th through 99th of boys from age 1 to 17 years old. The tables also differentiate blood pressure levels based on a boy's height percentile, including the 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 95th percentiles. Standard deviations are provided in an appendix to allow calculating blood pressure z-scores and percentiles based on the given height percentiles.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
