Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that occurs when certain neurons in the brain die or become damaged. These neurons produce dopamine, which is important for muscle movement throughout the body. The main symptoms include tremors, slow movement, stiffness, and balance and walking problems. Currently there is no cure, but medications can help treat symptoms by replacing dopamine. Researchers are working on developing treatments using stem cells to create new dopamine neurons.

Senior Project Paper
Pediatric physical therapy involves treating children with mobility issues from infancy to the pre-teen years. Therapists evaluate each child and create tailored exercise plans to help them gain or maintain mobility. Therapists may work in hospitals, clinics, or schools depending on the needs of their patients. The overall goal is to improve each child's skills and independence through therapeutic activities, exercises, and sometimes orthotics or prosthetics. Sessions also provide developmental benefits and help families care for the child.

Celebral Palsy
There are 5 functional classifications of cerebral palsy ranging from level 1 clumsy child to level 5 with no self-mobility. Level 1 involves walking indoors and outdoors with decreased speed and coordination. Level 2 involves limited outdoor activities and difficulty with uneven surfaces. Level 3 uses assistive mobility devices indoors and outdoors. Level 4 is severely limited even with devices and uses wheelchairs. Level 5 cannot sit, stand or do independent mobility. Common health problems include drooling, nutrition issues, bladder/bowel dysfunction, and pain. There is a need for further research to better understand the origins of cerebral palsy and develop prevention strategies.
Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy is a motor disability caused by abnormal brain development before one month of age that results in a lack of normal movement control. Symptoms may not appear until 9-24 months as the brain areas controlling movement are immature. There is no cure, but physical, occupational, and behavioral therapies can help improve motor skills and independence as well as prevent deformities through medications, braces, and sometimes surgery.
Parkinson study case
Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes a gradual loss of muscle control. Its symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowed movements, and poor balance. Early signs may include slight shaking, difficulty walking or writing, and stooped posture. Treatments include medications like dopamine agonists and surgeries like deep brain stimulation. Physical therapy focuses on exercises to improve mobility, balance, posture, and prevent contractures. Symptoms fluctuate between "on" and "off" periods depending on dopamine levels, affecting the appropriate exercises.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a feeding disorder characterized by avoidance of food due to sensory characteristics, fear of aversive consequences, or lack of interest in eating. This results in insufficient calorie or nutrient intake leading to issues like weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, or interference with functioning. Treatments that have shown promise for ARFID include family-based treatment involving parents supporting exposure to new foods, cognitive-behavioral therapy with elements like food exposure and relaxation training, and hospital-based refeeding programs, some of which utilize tube feeding for severe cases. However, more research is still needed, as existing studies on treating ARFID are limited and no single approach has been proven
Parkinsons disease o.j
This document discusses Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. PD is characterized by four primary symptoms: bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, resting tremor, and impaired balance/coordination. Management involves medical therapy like levodopa to increase dopamine levels, as well as nursing care focused on maintaining mobility, independence, nutrition, and communication as symptoms progress over five stages of severity.
Parkinson handbook

It begins with an introduction to Parkinson's disease, describing it as a disorder of the central nervous system involving degeneration of neurons in the basal ganglia. The handbook then covers initial symptoms, primary symptoms such as tremor and rigidity, secondary symptoms, other types of parkinsonism, potential causes, and various treatment options. It aims to inform readers about Parkinson's disease while not substituting for medical advice.
Cerebral palsy case study
Abby Jones is a 5-year-old girl diagnosed with severe quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy with athetosis. She was born prematurely at 28 weeks and spent 5 months in the NICU. Her treatment plan focuses on range of motion, strength, balance, and standing exercises both in the pool and on land. In the pool, activities help challenge her respiratory system and facilitate movement. On land, exercises include stretching, joint mobilization, and adaptive cycling. Her progress is slow given her involvement, but maintaining flexibility and preventing worsening of impairments is considered progress for her condition.
Physical handicap
This document discusses physical disabilities. It defines physical disability as a limitation on physical functioning, mobility or dexterity. There are three main causes of physical disability: prenatal issues during fetal development, birth-related issues, and postnatal issues or accidents. Some common types of physical disabilities discussed include paraplegia, quadriplegia, hemiplegia, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, limb differences, muscular dystrophies, and polio. The document concludes that physical disability is not a choice and should not be used to discriminate; rather, efforts should be made to empower those with disabilities.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Demystifying Fallopian Tube Blockage- Grading the Differences and Implication...

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

Dr. James Farley Comes Up With a Scientific Approach That Can Improve and Slow Functional Decline
- 1. Dr. James Farley Comes Up With a Scientific Approach That Can Improve and Slow Functional Decline Dr. James Farley talks about Parkinson’s disease and how it triggers a massive decline in patients’ health over the course of five stages. The initial stage consists of mild symptoms that sometimes prevent the individual from going about their regular activities. Only one side of the body has a tremor and other movement symptoms. There is deterioration in gait, facial expressions, and posture. Talking about the second stage, the symptoms start to worsen. Both sides of the body or the midline are affected by tremors, stiffness, and other movement symptoms. Poor posture and issues with walking may be noticeable. Although the individual can live alone, everyday duties are increasingly challenging and time-consuming. Loss of balance, which manifests as shakiness while turning or being pushed from a standing position, is considered mid-stage. There are more falls. Motor problems keep worsening Although the person's everyday activities are now somewhat functionally constrained, they are nonetheless physically capable of leading an independent life. At this point, Dr. James Farley adds, disability is modest to moderate. In the fourth stage, the individual can still stand and walk alone, but for safety, he may need to use a cane or walker. The person is unable to live alone and requires extensive assistance with everyday tasks. The last stage is the most advanced and debilitating. The person is bedridden or confined to a wheelchair unless aided. Dr. James Farley came up with the eight secrets of a new breakthrough scientific approach that can improve, stabilize, and slow functional decline. His approach has helped individuals have better sleep, milder tremors, and more energy. They feel more positive and motivated to follow Dr. Farley’s recommendations in hopes of reaching optimal health.
- 2. Dr. Farley provides a customized treatment approach focusing on the root functional causes. His program is designed for his patients and their problems. Overall, he does his best to provide profound and positive improvements for his patients.
