Abstract

A study was undertaken to look at possible risks of shared bathing in early childhood. Autopsy databases were searched at the Women's and Children's Hospital and State Coroner's Office, Adelaide, Australia, from January 1963 to December 1999, the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, Melbourne, Australia, from January 1991 to December 1999, and the Children's Hospital-San Diego, San Diego, USA, from January 1990 to December 1999, for all cases registered as drowning in children aged 2 years and under who were in a bath with another child around the time of death. A total of 17 cases were found. The age range of the victims was 8-22 months (average=11.8 months), with a male to female ratio of 10:7. The surviving children (who were all siblings) were significantly older, with an age range of 19-48 months (average=30.4 months), and a male to female ratio of 12:5. (The survivors were on average 18.5 months older than the victims, range=11-32 months). In every case the children had been left unsupervised for variable periods of time. These cases represented a significant component -- between 22 and 58% -- of bath drownings in the 2 years and under age group. It would appear that shared bathing for young children and infants may ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
