Introduction Group B streptococcus (GBS) is one of the leading causes of pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis and death in the neonatal patient (1). Pregnant women who are carriers of GBS have the potential to spread the bacterium to their newborn infant via vertical transmission before delivery, during prolonged labour and premature rupture of membranes, or via post-partum exposure (1,2,3). The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that between 10-30% of women are GBS colonized. Approximately

Craniosynostosis, Pediatric Craniosynostosis is a condition that affects a baby's skull. It is a birth defect that causes the soft joints between the bones of the skull to close too early. These joints are called cranial sutures. They usually do not close until a child is around 2 years old. This allows the baby's brain to have room to grow before the bones of the skull come together at these joints. With craniosynostosis, one or more of these joints close too early. This condition causes the

As the 19th century came to a close, the studies of psychology were just beginning. Ivan Pavlov opened the door to the idea of classical conditioning with his tests on salivating dogs. The discoveries brought light to the way both animal and human minds work regarding associative learning. After Pavlov’s experiment, many more experiments came after. Even today Pavlov’s findings are so apparent it seems the idea of associative learning and conditioning of animals seems to be common sense. Today there

According to Ploughshares, an American Literary Magazine, “Sherman Alexie denied all the doctors beliefs because they said if he survived from hydrocephalus he would be retarded”(“About Sherman” 197).

Intracranial sinusitis (ICS) complications remain a difficult and ongoing problem. The progressive pneumatization and development of paranasal sinuses at birth and the late appearance of frontal and ventricular sinuses have caused some infec- tions to not appear until late childhood [Intracranial complications of sinusitis: a pediatric series Giannoni C, Sulek M, Friedman EM]. Despite better diagnostics since the introduction of CT (CT), better treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics and aggressive

The bacteriemic and meningitic forms of listeriosis can be cured, but serious complications can ensue despite prompt antimicrobial therapy. After the infection of central nervous systems, sequelae such as strabismus, hydrocephalus and retardation may arise. Hence the best approach is to prevent listeroisis from the get-go. General recommendations for prevention are the same as for other foodborne infections, and include thorough cooking of raw food from animal sources,

Overview: The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) is part of the frontal lobe, one of the most complex parts of the brain and among the last areas to develop. According to numerous neuroimaging studies, it may not be fully mature until a person’s mid-20s. The DLFPC has numerous connections with other parts of the brain and helps integrate information from different systems. The DLPFC is involved in higher-order processing and executive functions like working memory, planning, attention, and

Understanding Individuals with Disabilities Since the 1770s, researchers have struggled to understand what makes individuals with disabilities act and think the way they do as well as the underlying cause of various disabilities. While much about the many different disabilities remains a mystery, a great deal has been uncovered over the last two and a half centuries. Because of advances in both medical technologies as well as the human understanding of the mind and body, there is a great deal more
