Pediatric neurology emergencies dr abunada
This document provides information on various pediatric neurology emergencies, including recommendations for febrile seizures, status epilepticus, meningitis, encephalitis, and herpes simplex virus encephalitis. For febrile seizures, the AAP guidelines recommend against continuous or intermittent anticonvulsant therapy for children with simple febrile seizures due to risks outweighing benefits. Status epilepticus treatments include benzodiazepines, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and for refractory cases, midazolam or propofol infusion. Meningitis diagnosis and management involves prompt antibiotics, steroids for certain cases, and meningococcemia requires antibiotics within 20 minutes. En
Choosing the right statistics
This document discusses statistical procedures for analyzing different types of data based on their structure. It describes three basic data structures: 1) a single group with one score per participant, 2) a single group with multiple variables measured per participant, and 3) multiple groups with scores measuring the same variable. For each data structure, it provides examples of descriptive and inferential statistics that can be used based on the scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval/ratio).
S5 w1 hypothesis testing & t test
The document discusses hypothesis testing and t-tests, explaining that a hypothesis is a suggested explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested scientifically, and a t-test determines if the means of two groups are statistically different. It provides details on null and alternative hypotheses, how to perform a t-test, and how the t-statistic, degrees of freedom, and p-value are used to evaluate whether to reject the null hypothesis.
The T-Test, by Geoff Browne
The document discusses using statistical analysis to determine if there is a significant difference between two samples. It explains how to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and use a Student's t-test to compare the averages and variability of two samples. A worked example compares the heights of students from two classrooms. The t-test calculation results in a value below the critical value, indicating there is no significant difference in heights between the two samples. Therefore, any difference observed is likely due to random chance rather than an actual difference between the groups.
Hypothesis testing
The document provides an overview of hypothesis testing. It begins by defining a hypothesis test and its purpose of ruling out chance as an explanation for research study results. It then outlines the logic and steps of a hypothesis test: 1) stating hypotheses, 2) setting decision criteria, 3) collecting data, 4) making a decision. Key concepts discussed include type I and type II errors, statistical significance, test statistics like the z-score, and assumptions of hypothesis testing. Factors that can influence a hypothesis test like effect size, sample size, and alpha level are also covered.

It includes templates for describing the test and population in the introduction and reporting the mean, standard deviation, t-value and significance in the results. An example is given of a hypothetical single sample t-test comparing IQ scores of people who eat broccoli regularly to the general population.
Research hypothesis
The document discusses hypotheses in research. It defines a hypothesis as a tentative statement about the relationship between two or more variables. Hypotheses help translate research problems into clear predictions and guide investigation. They provide objectivity, direction for data collection, and goals for researchers. Well-stated hypotheses are testable, consistent with existing knowledge, and help establish a link between theory and empirical research. Different types of hypotheses, such as simple, complex, associative, causal, directional, and null hypotheses are described. Sources for developing hypotheses include theoretical frameworks, previous research findings, literature, and experiences.
Hypothesis testing ppt final
This document provides an overview of hypothesis testing in inferential statistics. It defines a hypothesis as a statement or assumption about relationships between variables or tentative explanations for events. There are two main types of hypotheses: the null hypothesis (H0), which is the default position that is tested, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha or H1). Steps in hypothesis testing include establishing the null and alternative hypotheses, selecting a suitable test of significance or test statistic based on sample characteristics, formulating a decision rule to either accept or reject the null hypothesis based on where the test statistic value falls, and understanding the potential for errors. Key criteria for constructing hypotheses and selecting appropriate statistical tests are also outlined.
Statistical Analysis
The document summarizes statistical analysis concepts and methods used to analyze biological data, including calculating means, standard deviations, and using t-tests to determine the significance of differences between data sets. It provides an example comparing bill length measurements in two hummingbird species. The mean bill length is slightly higher in C. latirostris, but A. colubris shows greater variability. A t-test is needed to determine if the difference in means is statistically significant given the overlap between the error bars representing standard deviation.
Test of hypothesis
The document discusses hypothesis testing in research. It defines a hypothesis as a proposition that can be tested scientifically. The key points are:
- A hypothesis aims to explain a phenomenon and can be tested objectively. Common hypotheses compare two groups or variables.
- Statistical hypothesis testing involves a null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (Ha). H0 is the initial assumption being tested, while Ha is what would be accepted if H0 is rejected.
- Type I errors incorrectly reject a true null hypothesis. Type II errors fail to reject a false null hypothesis. Hypothesis tests aim to control the probability of type I errors.
- The significance level is the probability of a type I error,
Hypothesis testing; z test, t-test. f-test
Hypothesis is usually considered as the principal instrument in research and quality control. Its main function is to suggest new experiments and observations. In fact, many experiments are carried out with the deliberate object of testing hypothesis. Decision makers often face situations wherein they are interested in testing hypothesis on the basis of available information and then take decisions on the basis of such testing. In Six –Sigma methodology, hypothesis testing is a tool of substance and used in analysis phase of the six sigma project so that improvement can be done in right direction

Dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia for 4th year med.students
Dyspareunia, or painful sex, can have both physical and psychological causes. Physically, it may result from infections, inflammation, scarring from prior injuries or surgeries, pelvic disorders like endometriosis, or vulvodynia. Psychologically, factors like sexual abuse, fear of sex, or feelings of guilt can contribute. Treatment involves identifying the underlying cause through history, exam, and testing, then using psychosexual therapy, medical management, or surgery as needed. Managing any physical disorders is important for resolving dyspareunia.
Hiccups
This document defines hiccups as involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle that cause a "hic" sound when the vocal cords close abruptly. It discusses the most common causes of short-term (less than 48 hours) hiccups like drinking carbonated beverages or alcohol, as well as potential causes of long-term hiccups like nerve damage or central nervous system disorders. Treatment options described include medications to relax the diaphragm muscle, procedures to block nerves, and home remedies, with surgery as a last resort for persistent hiccups.

Epilepsy In The African American Community
Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurring seizures caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain. Around 350,000 African Americans have epilepsy, and they are more likely to be diagnosed and experience more severe forms than Caucasians. Epilepsy has many potential causes including head trauma, infection, tumors, and genetic factors. During a seizure the brain's electrical activity goes haywire, which can cause loss of consciousness or involuntary muscle movements. Treatment aims to control seizures through medication, surgery, diet changes, or devices like vagus nerve stimulation.

The chiropractor provides a positive long-term prognosis for the patient's condition if they receive chiropractic manipulative therapy. The summary outlines a 3-phase treatment plan involving chiropractic adjustments, exercises, and nutritional recommendations over 6 weeks with periodic progress exams. If left untreated, the structural problem could decay over time resulting in increased pain and need for symptom management rather than addressing the underlying issue.
Anaesthesia in obstetrics and role of midwife
1) Labour analgesia aims to relieve maternal pain during childbirth while preserving the progress of labour and safety of both mother and baby.
2) Regional techniques like epidural analgesia are commonly used as they provide effective pain relief and allow movement.
3) Epidural analgesia involves injecting local anaesthetics near the spinal cord in the epidural space, providing pain relief. Combined spinal-epidural is also used.
4) General anaesthesia is rarely used and has risks like aspiration so regional techniques are preferred when possible for labour analgesia.
Cancer Palliative Care
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for patients facing life-limiting illness and their families through pain and symptom management, psychosocial and spiritual support from diagnosis until end of life. It focuses on preventing and relieving suffering through early identification and treatment of pain, and addresses physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems. Palliative care is applicable alongside curative treatments and aims neither to hasten nor postpone death.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.LOW BIRTH WEIGHT. PRETERM BABIES OR SMALL FOR DATES BABIES
low birth weight presentation. Low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as the one whose birth weight is less than 2500g irrespective of their gestational age. Premature birth and low birth weight(LBW) is still a serious problem in newborn. Causing high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. The nursing care provide to low birth weight babies is crucial in promoting their overall health and development. Through careful assessment, diagnosis,, planning, and evaluation plays a vital role in ensuring these vulnerable infants receive the specialize care they need. In India every third of the infant weight less than 2500g.
Birth period, socioeconomical status, nutritional and intrauterine environment are the factors influencing low birth weight

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.
