Posterior reversible encephalopathy and hemodialysis

PRES and hemodialysis is uncommon in children on hemodialysis . How can we improve treatment? If seizures occur, what drugs are of choice?

Marcio Tavares

Recent studies show that PRES occurs most frequently in children with renal insufficency of various aetiologies. There are no firm recommendations regarding both antiepileptic drugs and duration of antiepileptic therapy. Sodium valproate, levetiracetam, phenytoin are good alternatives.

1. If I can quantize the atom using this hyperbolic spiral and classical physics, could nature do the same?

If we map as a continuous motion an ionising electron (beginning its journey at n=1) in an H atom, a specific hyperbolic spiral appears (see animation). When we solve this spiral formula, we find...

Why don't d-orbitals split themselves, why does it take a ligand? why don't protons from ligand repel nucleus split d-orbitals?

why don't d-orbitals split themselves because of themselves without the presence of ligands? Electrons are indistinguishable. Why wouldn't it be more correct that protons from a ligand split the...

Why doesn't chromium 2+ ion use all its d-orbitals to receive lone pairs from six waters in [Cr(H20)6)]3+?

I'm guessing it's because the ligand experiences too much electron repulsion or proton repulsion from the chromium to insert them close to the 3d-orbitals which are close to the metal nucleus. Is...
