Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the brain and results in a variety of inappropriate and maladaptive behaviors. ADHD is not a disease (Kajander 1995) but is a processing deficit that results in children having difficulty with inhibitory control. That is, children with ADHD lack self-control, something they cannot help. In children with ADHD, the parts of the brain that control attention and stop inappropriate behavior are underdeveloped (Barkley 1996; Kajander 1995). ADHD occurs three times more frequently in male students than female students (Reeve et al. 1995) and commonly occurs with other disorders. For example, ADHD occurs in 20 percent to 50 percent of the students with learning disabilities, in 65 percent of the students with oppositional defiant disorder, and in 20 percent to 30 percent of the students with conduct disorder (Reeve et al. 1995; Barkley 1990).
ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD is the most common neurobehavioral
disorder of childhood. It is characterized by developmentally inappropriate and impairing levels of gross motor over activity, inattention and
impulsivity. It can continue through adolescence and
adulthood.
What is we made a mistake, and told parents their kid has ADHD when in fact they just can't breathe properly? It may be that up to half of kids labelled as having ADHD actually have something else entirely.
ADD and ADHD are medical abbreviations, used in diagnosis and treatment of behavioral disorders in children and adults. ADHD and ADD are well-known abbreviations in the USA, UK, Ireland, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Canada, Malta and Australia.
The term ADHD refers to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a condition that makes it difficult for children to pay attention and/or control their behavior. Learn more about about the causes, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition that affects millions of children and often continues into adulthood.
•ADHD includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior.
•Children with ADHD also may struggle with low self-esteem, troubled relationships and poor performance in school.
•Symptoms sometimes lessen with age.
• However, some people never completely outgrow their ADHD symptoms. But they can learn strategies to be successful.
Loading…
•The primary features of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder include inattention and hyperactive-impulsive behavior.
• ADHD symptoms start before age 12, and in some children, they're noticeable as early as 3 years of age. ADHD symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe, and they may continue into adulthood.

What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD.pptxKashishYadav76
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity (over-activity). ADHD has three subtypes:
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

3. What is ADHD?
ADHD is a common behavioral disorder that affects about 10% of school-
age children. Boys are more prone to this disorder than girls.
A medical condition characterized by inattention and hyperactivity -
impulsivity. It is the most common behavioral disorder that starts during
childhood. However, ADHD not only affects children but also affects people
of all ages.
An individual with ADHD finds it much more difficult to focus on
something without being distracted.
He has greater difficulty in controlling what he is doing or saying and is less
able to control how much physical activity is appropriate for a particular
situation compared to somebody without ADHD.
4. What is ADHD?
In other words, a person with ADHD is much more impulsive and restless.
Kids with ADHD act without thinking are hyperactive and have trouble
focusing. They may understand what will be expected of them but have
trouble following through because they can't sit still, pay attention, or focus
on details.
5. Types of ADHD
There are three types of ADHD. They are defined according to which
symptoms stand out the most.
1. Predominantly Inattentive ADHD
Impaired attention and concentration mark this ADHD.
The person finds it very difficult to organize or finish a task.
They find it hard to pay attention to details and find it difficult to follow
instructions or conversations.
6. Types of ADHD
2. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive ADHD
Hyperactivity marks this without inattentiveness. The person finds it hard
to keep still - they fidget and talk a lot.
A smaller child may be continually jumping, running or climbing. They are
restless and impulsive - interrupting others, grabbing things and speaking at
inappropriate times.
They have difficulty waiting their turn and find it hard to listen to
directions.
A person with this type of ADHD will have more injuries and accidents
than others.
7. Types of ADHD
3. Combined ADHD
A person whose symptoms include all those of 1 and 2, and whose
symptoms are equally predominant. In other words, all the signs and
symptoms in 1 and 2 stand out equally.
8. Symptoms of ADHD
There are three different categories of ADHD symptoms: inattention,
hyperactivity, impulsivity.
1. Inattention
Making careless mistakes – for example, in schoolwork appearing
forgetful or losing things being unable to stick at tasks that are tedious or
time-consuming appearing to be unable to listen to or carry out instructions
consistently.
Changing activity or task - having difficulty organizing tasks.
9. Symptoms of ADHD
2. Hyperactivity
Often squirms, fidgets, or bounces when sitting.
A Child always goes out for running or climbing on things.
3. Impulsivity
Blurts out answers before the question has been completed.
Often interrupts others.
10. Causes of ADHD
Genes:
ADHD has a strong genetic basis in the majority of cases. ADHD tends to run
in families and, in most cases, it is thought the genes that inherit from your
parents are a significant factor in developing this condition.
Nutrition and Food:
Some experts believe that food additives may exacerbate ADHD. A popular
belief is that refined sugar may be a cause for a range of abnormal behaviors.
11. Causes of ADHD
Environment:
There may be a link between ADHD and maternal smoking. Nevertheless,
nicotine can cause hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in utero of mother that impact on
her baby leading to
Brain Injury:
Brain injury may also be a cause of attention deficit disorder in children.
Exposure to toxins or physical injury, either before or after birth is also a cause
for this disorder.
12. Causes of ADHD
Other Possible Causes:
Various other reasons have also been suggested as having a role in the
development of ADHD.
Being born prematurely (before the 37th week of pregnancy)
Having a low birth-weight
Brain damage either in the womb or in the first few years of life
Drinking alcohol, smoking or misusing drugs while pregnant
13. Diagnosis of AD
There is no single medical, physical, or another test for diagnosing
ADD/ADHD. ADD/ADHD looks different in every person, so there is a
wide array of criteria—or measures for testing. To determine if you or your
child has ADD/ADHD, a doctor or other health professional will need to be
involved.
14. Diagnosing ADHD in Children
Some symptoms that suggest ADHD in children include inattention,
hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Many children with ADHD:
Are in constant motion
Squirm and fidget
Make careless mistakes
Do not seem to listen
Do not finish tasks
15. Diagnosing ADHD in Adults
In addition to symptoms of inattention and/or impulsiveness, adults with
ADHD may have other problems, including:
Chronic lateness and forgetfulness
Anxiety
Poor organizational skills
Low self-esteem
Employment problems
Short temper
Difficulty finishing a task
16. Treatment of ADHD
ADHD cannot be cured. But many of the symptoms that interfere with
functioning and cause distress can be controlled.
Treatment for ADHD often includes a combination of medication and
various psychosocial therapies.
Medication can help reduce symptoms of hyperactivity, inattentiveness,
and impulsivity in children and adults with ADD/ADHD.
However, medications are not the only treatment options for solving this
ADD and ADHD problems.
17. Conclusion
You may be a parent or a patient nothing matters, it’s important to know the
facts about ADD/ADHD medications without side effects. So feel
responsible and get rid of these problems with best practices and decisions.
