Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that significantly affects verbal and non-verbal communication, social interaction, and educational performance. Symptoms must be evident by age 3. ASD encompasses several disorders including classic autism, Asperger's syndrome, and others. While medications are sometimes used to treat behavioral issues, alternative treatments focus on structure, routines, visual supports, social skills training, and addressing each student's uniqueness. Students with ASD often have strengths in concrete thinking, memory, focus, and some may have savant skills.

Dr. Anjana Thadhani's presentation at Tata Learning Disability Forum (TDLF), 2013.
The Forum for Learning Disabilities centred on the theme ‘Learning Disabilities – a more inclusive perspective’. The forum this year included in its purview three additional Learning Disabilities (LD), namely Specific Learning Disability (SpLD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
In line with the TATA Group’s corporate sustainability endeavors, TIS initiated the Tata Learning Disability Forum (TLDF) in 2006 to ensure that students with special education needs receive the required attention as well as to spread awareness about LD which had been receiving scant attention in India. Since then, via the TLDF platform, TIS has been successful in generating an increased level of awareness and enabling progress in remediation activities for students with LD.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8. Autism Spectrum Disorder is developmental disability that
significantly affects a student’s verbal and non-verbal
communication, social interaction, and educational
performance.
Symptoms MUST be evident by the age of 3.
9. Categorical definition
NO SUCH THING AS JUST “AUTISM”
Autism Spectrum Disorder means having one or more of the
following:
Classic Autism Disorder
Rett’s Disorder
Childhood disintegrative disorder
Asperger’s disorder
Pervasive developmental disorder otherwise not specified
Thus, when someone says just “autism” they may mean ASD, or
they may mean “classic autism.”
Don’t be embarrassed to ask someone which one they are
referring to if they simply say “autism.” Some people will be
quite impressed that you even know the difference!

12. Alternative Treatments
Common Medications:
•
Sleep Aids
•
Anti-psychotics
•
Anti-depressants
•
ADD, or ADHD medications.
*
Medications are used mostly on severe cases.
These are often used these to treat these types of behavioral
problems, such as aggression, self-injurious behavior, and severe
tantrums. These behavior must keeps the student with an autism
spectrum disorder (“autism”) from functioning more effectively at home
or school.
People with ASD also are more likely to experience
seizures, depression, ADD and ADHD. In fact, it is estimated that 25% of
those diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder will suffer at least one
seizure before the onset of puberty. Epilepsy will be prevalent in 10%30% of those who have been diagnosed with autism.

14. o Develop and follow a structured daily schedule. Prepare
student about any schedule changes in advance.
o Maintain a familiar routine.
o Incorporate the use of visuals whenever possible.
o Create visual labels for the classroom.
o Teach interaction skills. Encourage students to cooperate in
activities or assign a peer buddy for them to work with.
o Make sure students do not feel isolated from the rest of the
class.
15.
16. Parents should be involved in planning interventions. Keep in
contact with student’s supports. Communication is key!
Know the student’s IEP.
Develop behavioral plans and use social stories for behavior
management.
Reinforce positive behavior with positive feedback.
Consider your classroom structure. The environment should be
predictable.
Remember that each student with ASD is unique!
17. Address students directly by their name.
Do not demand eye contact.
Use concrete language. Keep it simple and straight to the point.
Avoid the use of sarcasm.
Give students enough response time.
Focus on your student’s strengths and what they can do rather than
what they cannot.
Patience, Patience, Patience!
19. Facilitating Friendships
Friendships are among the most intimate and important
relationships in our lives. For students with Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASD), development of friendships is can be a
significant challenge.
20.
21. Focus On Strengths
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders experience many difficulties
throughout their lives, however, it is important to recognize that not all of the traits
associated with these disorders are negative ones. There are many strengths that
are inherent to this group of disorders as well, and they are traits to be admired in
anyone, even those people without disabilities.
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders often can:
⇐ Understand concrete concepts very well.
⇐ Understand context-specific language (language that can be
directly related to an experience).
⇐ Recall visual images and memories easily.
⇐ Think in a visual way.
⇐ Have extraordinarily good long-term memory.
⇐Understand and use concrete rules and sequences.
⇐Can be very precise and detail-oriented.
⇐Be dependent upon maintaining schedules and being on time.
⇐ Be extremely focused, if it is a pleasurable task .
22. Savants
Savant syndrome is a condition whereby a person with a
developmental disability, often Autism Spectrum
Disorder, is found to be especially brilliant in one
particular area or field.
MUSIC~ the ability to replay complex sequences after only one
exposure.
ART~ the ability to draw complex scenes with accurate
perspective either created or replicated following a single brief
viewing.
MEMORY ~the ability to memorize exact historical dates, historical
places, routes or facts, coordination skills and mathematic skills.
*Only 10 percent of people with autism have savant syndrome, and
fewer than 1 percent of non-autistic people exhibit savant skills.
23. Temple Grandin: What's Right with the Autistic Mind?
By focusing on deficits, we overlook the
strengths of brains built differently.
Researchers characterize an acute
attention to detail as “ weak central
coherence” a deficit. But some people
currently argue that it can be a very
positive reaction as well.
