Influenza Prevention & Treatment in Children
Annual influenza vaccination is a primary and effective measure for preventing flu in children. It is recommended for all eligible children, typically starting at six months of age. Teaching children proper hand hygiene, including regular handwashing with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, can reduce the risk of influenza transmission. Educate children on covering their mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets. Encourage children to avoid close contact with individuals who are sick, and teach them to recognize and maintain distance from those showing flu-like symptoms.Promoting overall health through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can strengthen a child's immune system and enhance resistance to infections, including influenza.In cases where a child develops influenza, antiviral medications prescribed by a healthcare professional can help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms if administered early in the illness.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Hepatic Regeneration After Hepatectomy
Hepatic regeneration after hepatectomy is a dynamic process where the liver rapidly repairs and regenerates its tissue by activating hepatocytes and liver progenitor cells. This regenerative ability is essential for restoring liver function and maintaining homeostasis following partial liver resection or injury.
Fluorescence Guided Breast Cancer Surgery
Fluorescence-guided breast cancer surgery uses fluorescent dyes, such as indocyanine green (ICG), to illuminate cancerous tissues and lymph nodes, aiding surgeons in precisely identifying and removing tumors. This technique improves surgical outcomes by enhancing the visualization of cancerous areas, reducing the chances of leaving residual cancer cells behind.
