The treatment of meningitis for a newborn is usually through the use of antibiotics such as ampicillin and gentamicin or cefotaxime.

The dosage for a newly born child that is no older than 8 days is 150 mg/kg per day divided every 8 hours.

In addition, there should be the administration of gentamicin 4 mg/kg daily or cefotaxime 100 to 150 mg/kg per day that is divided every 8 to 12 hours.

Women generally have a lower centre of gravity than men, contributing to greater stability. Men generally have more muscle mass
andre [41]
This is true. Women are generally shorter than men and the shorter you are the closer your center of gravity is to the ground, and the lower it is the higher the stability, which means that women are in theory more stable. Men do have more muscle mess, both in the sense that they are larger physically so there's more mass, and also proportionally.
