Effective teaching and learning cannot take place in a poorly managed classroom. If students are disorderly and disrespectful, and no apparent rules and procedures guide behavior, chaos becomes the norm.

Ayurveda hair cosmetlogy on Indralupta or Alopecia.pptxAyurgyan2077
This presentation focuses on the management of alopecia through ayurveda treatment. It begins with the description of hair in classical ayurveda and conventional medicine textbooks. The common hair related problems like khalitya, indralupta, palitya, hariloma and darunaka are mentioned in Ayurveda. Next is the causes of hairfall like Asthi dhatu kshaya, sveda kshaya, conditions like darunaka or dandruff, fungal infestation, excessive use of lavana-kshara, etc. Few evidences from the researched done previously on Indralupta or alopecia and above mentioned causes are also mentioned.
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
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health

ASSISTING WITH THE USE OF BED PAN BY ANUSHRI SRIVASTAVA.pptxAnushriSrivastav
When a patient uses a bedpan, promote comfort and normalcy and respect the patient’s privacy as much as possible. Be sure to maintain a professional manner. In addition, provide skin care and perineal hygiene after bedpan use
Regular bedpans have a rounded, smooth upper end and a tapered, open lower end. The upper end fits under the patient’s buttocks toward the sacrum, with the open end toward the foot of the bed
. A special bedpan called a fracture bedpan is frequently used for patients with fractures of the femur or lower spine
Fracture bedpan - used for patients with fractures of the femur or lower spine. The fracture pan has a shallow, narrow upper end with a flat wide rim, and a deeper, open lower end. The upper end fits under the patient’s buttocks toward the sacrum, with the deeper, open lower end toward the foot of the bed.
Ordinary Bedpan
EQUIPMENTS
Bedpan (regular or fracture)
Toilet tissue
Disposable clean gloves
Additional PPE, as indicated
Cover for bedpan or urinal (disposable waterproof pad or cover)
ASSESSMENT
Assess the patient’s normal elimination habits.
Determine why the patient needs to use a bedpan (e.g., a medical order for strict bed rest or immobilization).
Assess the patient’s degree of limitation and ability to help with activity.
Assess for activity limitations, such as hip surgery or spinal injury, which would contraindicate certain actions by the patient.
Check for the presence of drains, dressings, intravenous fluid infusion sites/equipment, traction, or any other devices that could interfere with the patient’s ability to help with the procedure or that could become dislodged.
Assess the characteristics of the urine and the patient’s skin
Assisting With Use of a Bedpan When the Patient Has Limited Movement
Patients who are unable to lift themselves onto the bedpan or who have activity limitations that prohibit the required actions can be assisted onto the bedpan in an alternate manner using these actions

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Behavior Modification and Special Children
1. What is it? How can it help our students
with unacceptable behaviors in the school
environment?
2. Behavior Modification
Behavior modification is the use of basic
learning techniques, such as:
– Conditioning
– Biofeedback
– Reinforcement and,
– Aversion therapy to alter human behaviors.
Positive Reinforcement is a form of behavior
modification.
3. In simple terms
• It involves applying the principles of
cognitive learning to change a behavior.
• It teaches children which behaviors are
acceptable and appropriate and which
are not.
• It is a strategy of prevention.
5. Article Review
Written by: Ellen A. Sigler and Shirley Aamidor
Published in: Early Childhood Education Journal,
Vol. 32, No. 4, February 2005.
Title:
From Positive Reinforcement, to Positive
Behaviors: An Everyday Guide for the
Practitioner
6. Why use positive
reinforcement?
TO TEACH…
• Acceptable and appropriate behaviors
TO INCREASE…
• Frequency of desired behaviors
TO DEVELOP…
• A child/student’s ability to self monitor their
own actions
An example of how positive reinforcement
works…
7. Why do children behave the way
they do?
ATTENTION!
ATTENTION!
ATTENTION!
• Whether it be positive or negative, they
desire our attention.
• Some children have been conditioned to
seek out negative reinforcers in order
to feel loved, accepted, etc.
8. Do we teach children what to feel?
• The theorists have proposed ways permanent changes
in behavior occur as a result of experience…
– Classical conditioning (Pavlov) – a form of learning in which a
formerly neutral stimulus is repeatedly presented together with a
stimulus that evokes a specific response. After repeated
pairings, the neutral stimulus elicits a response similar to the
reflexive response.
– Operant conditioning (Skinner) – a form of learning in which
new responses are strengthened by the presentation of
reinforcements.
– Social learning theory (Bandura) – emphasizes the ability to
learn new responses through observation and imitation of others.
– Cognitive behaviorism (Tolman, Mischel) – a complex set of
expectations, goals, and values can be treated as behavior and
can influence performance.
9. As Teachers, Parents, and Adults
we often…
Lavish attention on the misbehaving child, while ignoring the behavior
of the child playing quietly
We should…
• Attend to appropriate behavior
• Ignore inappropriate behavior
• Encourage good “choices”
11. Key Elements
to make it work
• Reinforcement increases a desired behavior
while punishment decreases an undesired
behavior.
• We must teach them what we want and how
they can go about doing it.
• Be patient! It can possibly get worse before
it gets better.
• Develop small goals and build upon them.
• Ignore the unwanted behaviors but intervene
when necessary.
12. Positive Behavior Support
• Objectives
– PBS enhances the school’s capacity to address
behavioral challenges.
– PBS diminishes disruptions that impede teaching
and learning
– PBS creates teaching and learning communities
that establish and sustain positive school climates
– PBS reclaims instructional time lost to behavioral
disruptions
– PBS maximizes use of time and learning
opportunities
– PBS enhances quality and efficiency of instruction
13. Positive Behavior Support
Behavior modification with a systems approach, it provides:
– Clear expectations for student behavior
– Clear and consistent strategies for teaching appropriate behavior
– Clear and consistent strategies for encouraging appropriate
behavior
– Clear and consistent consequences that discourage inappropriate
behavior
– A support system and individual behavior programs for students
with unique or exceptional needs
– Clearly designed methods for evaluating and revising the
individual schools program
14. How do we use Positive Behavior
Support in our schools?
• Each school and its administration must develop
its own school wide plan
• The school must train their teachers to
understand and instruct their students about the
plan
• The administration must provide proper and
adequate supports for the plan’s implementation
• The students should be given plenty of concrete
examples of behavior expectations
15. Parkdale School-Wide PBS
Implementation Plan
1. Review the six school expectations with
students
2. Provide specific behavior examples for each
expectation
3. Teach expectations through the “tell-show-
practice” sequence
4. Prompt students to use specific behaviors prior
to “problem spots”
5. Provide “pride tickets” to students who display
critical skills – Be sure to let student know what
rule they followed and the specific behavior
they displayed
16. What are the Rules?
• Be kind
– include others, use polite words, keep hands to self, help others, be
a friend
• Be safe
– hands and feet to self, walk in building, use materials and equipment
appropriately
• Be cooperative
– follow directions the first time, take turns, share with others,
problem solve, be a team player
• Be respectful
– be a good listener, treat others the way you want to be treated,
allow others to be different, acknowledge other’s ideas
• Be peaceful
– calm voice, walk quietly so others can learn, calm transitions, keep
body quiet
• Be responsible
– take care of self, allow others t resolve own problems, do your job,
accept outcomes of your behavior, be honest
17. Give me Five!
1. Eyes on the speaker
2. Hands free
3. Mouth closed
4. Being still
5. Active listening
18. Does a Behavior Modification Program such as
Positive Behavior Support work?
• Of the schools where Positive Behavior Support has
been implemented:
– There has been a marked decrease in discipline referrals and
suspensions
– There has been a marked increase in student productivity
– It creates a positive feeling about coming to school everyday
and the children feel their school is a safe place
– The students want to be “caught doing good”
– There is increased structure and consistency in daily
classroom activities
– There are school wide based norms and expectations which
the children can rely on without worry of different teachers
having a different set of rules
19. What do you think?
• Are we creating praise junkies?
• Does someone “give you a cookie” when you stop at a stop
sign?
• Are we teaching children that life is what you can get from it,
not what you put into it?
