The incidence of pyogenic arthritis is less than that of transient synovitis and varies substantially (from 1/100,000 to 37/100,000 children) depending on the population studied. Although pyogenic arthritis occurs in all age groups, the peak incidence of disease is in children under 3 years of age. A history of trauma temporally related to the onset of arthritis caused by Staphylococcus aureus ...

Rodent animal models have been widely used for studying neurologic and toxicological events associated with cocaine abuse. It is known that the mouse is more susceptible to cocaine-induced hepatotoxicity (CIH) than the rat. However, the causes behind this species-dependent sensitivity to cocaine have not been elucidated. In this study, cocaine metabolism in the mouse and rat was characterized t...

NoiseBear is a wireless malleable controller designed for, and in participation with, physically and cognitively disabled children. The aim of the project was to produce a musical controller that was robust, and flexible enough to be used in a wide range of interactive scenarios in participatory design workshops. NoiseBear demonstrates an open ended system for designing wireless malleable contr...

background emerging antibacterial resistance rates and extended-spectrum-β-lactamase producing escherichia coli recovered from urinary tract infections (uti) is an increasing problem in different regions, limiting therapeutic options. objectives the aim of this study was the detection of blatem, blashv and blactx-m genes among escherichia coli strains causing urinary tract infection in children...

Acute otitis media, inflammation of the middle ear, is the most common bacterial infection in children and, as a consequence, is the most common reason for antimicrobial prescription to this age group. There is currently no effective vaccine for the principal pathogen involved, non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi). The most frequently used and widely accepted experimental animal model of ...
