The document discusses ADHD, defining it as a behavior disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interferes with functioning. It notes the three key symptoms and provides examples of how each manifest. The text emphasizes the importance of early recognition and treatment, as ADHD behaviors are typically outgrown in non-ADHD children but can cause long-term problems if left unaddressed. Suggested treatments include limiting distractions, one-on-one instruction, sufficient sleep, and a healthy diet.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, similar to hyperkinetic disorder in the ICD-10) is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder in which there are significant problems with executive functions (e.g., attentional control and inhibitory control) that cause attention deficits, hyperactivity, or impulsiveness which is not appropriate for a person's age.

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).

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.

•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:
Does your child have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - Bhagirathi SreeLongaNandi123
Children are naturally active and day-dreamers. It’s normal for children to not pay attention to what you or teachers are saying. They may act fidgety or restless at times. This for many children is a normal part of their childhood and their personality. But when does this become a matter for concern? Is your child is just active or hyperactive?

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
2. What is ADHD?
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is
an ongoing behavior disorder typically diagnosed
at age five or six, although the symptoms have
usually been observed much earlier than this age.
The three key symptoms are:
Inattention
Hyperactivity
Impulsivity
3. These symptoms typically interfere with the child's functioning in
social and academic settings. To meet the diagnostic criteria, these
symptoms, exemplified must have been present for at least six
months.
5. Inattention Symptoms in ADHD
The child often fails to give attention to details, or makes careless
mistakes in schoolwork, work, or other activities
6. Inattention Symptoms in ADHD
The child often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks
or play activities
8. Inattention Symptoms in ADHD
The child often does not follow through on instructions and fails to
finish schoolwork, chores, (not due to oppositional behavior or
failure to understand instructions).
9. Inattention Symptoms in ADHD
The child often has difficulty organizing tasks and
activities .
10. Inattention Symptoms in ADHD
The child often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage
in tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as
schoolwork or homework).
11. Inattention Symptoms in ADHD
The child often loses things necessary for tasks or
activities (for example, toys, school
assignments, pencils, books, or tools).
21. Impulsivity Symptoms in ADHD
The child often blurts out answers before the questions
have been completed
22. Impulsivity Symptoms in ADHD
The child often experiences difficulty awaiting his or her
turn
23. Impulsivity Symptoms in ADHD
The child often interrupts or intrudes on others (for
example, butts into conversations or games).
24. Early recognition is key to treatment of ADHD
One can see why there is an age limitation on these
behaviors being defined as "abnormal," as the majority
of them are typical of much younger children. But in the
non-ADHD child, these behaviors are typically outgrown.
And, of course, there are a variety of other conditions in
which these symptoms occur other than ADHD. Your
doctor must carry out a very detailed evaluation before
the diagnosis of ADHD is made. But please don't delay! If
you or your child's teachers suspect ADHD, begin the
evaluation as soon as possible. Early recognition and
treatment of ADHD can improve your child's chances for
long-term social and academic success
25. While there is no proven way to prevent ADHD
itself, early identification and treatment can prevent
many of the problems associated with ADHD
26. Treatments
Limit distractions in the child’s environment
Provide one on one instruction with the teacher.
Make sure the child gets enough sleep.
Make sure the child gets a healthy, varied diet, with
plenty of fiber and basic nutrients.
