Recognizing the need for a hand-held device capable of quantitatively measuring the concentration of bacteria in water, this paper describes a label-free method for rapid detection of () in water via HO decomposition using screen-printed electrodes (SPE) modified with nanostructured metal oxide layers. The study encompasses sensor preparation, bacteria culture, synthesis and characterization of nanostructures, and development of a readout circuitry for lab prototyping. During sensing measurements, the bacteria are first made to interact with HO and subsequently, the HO solution is exposed on the sensing surface.

- Older adults with dementia on multiple medications are at a higher risk for using potentially inappropriate medications (PIM), which can result in serious health issues.
- A systematic review analyzed 11 studies with over 4,500 participants, finding that approximately 38% of these older adults were using PIMs, with certain medications like anticholinergics and benzodiazepines being the most common culprits.
- The study noted significant variability in PIM prevalence based on the definition used and location, indicating the need for standardized criteria in future research.
Introduction: Cannabis products have been used in the management of headaches in adults and may play a role in pediatric chronic pain. Canadian pediatricians report increasing use of cannabis for the management of chronic headaches, despite no well-controlled studies to inform its dosing, safety, and effectiveness. The aim of our clinical trial is to determine the dosing and safety of a Cannabidiol (CBD)-enriched Cannabis Herbal Extract (CHE) for the treatment of chronic headaches in adolescents.

Objective: To study the adverse event profile of cannabinoids used for medical purposes in children and adolescents.
Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia in a Newborn Baby.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a narrow QRS complex tachyarrhythmia with a heart rate above 220 beats per minute in infants and children. Ventricular tachycardia can be due to electrolyte abnormalities, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart disease, myocarditis or drug toxicity. Incidence has been estimated to be 1 in 250 to 1 in 1000 with spontaneous resolution in infants by one year of life.
