Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood. It is caused by non-progressive brain damage early in development and results in impaired movement and posture. Common symptoms include stiff/floppy muscles, poor head/trunk control, and developmental delays in rolling, sitting, crawling, etc. Diagnosis involves assessing risk factors, medical history, neurological exam, and developmental tests. While there is no cure, treatment aims to improve function through physical, occupational, speech and other therapies, orthotics, surgery, and special education. Managing complications and providing support are also important aspects of care.
This presentation contains detailed knowledge about Down's Syndrome its types, clinical presentation, diagnosis, medical and physio therapeutic management of the condition.
Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body. They determine how a baby’s body forms and functions as it grows during pregnancy and after birth. Typically, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes. Babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes, chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is ‘trisomy.’ Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21. This extra copy changes how the baby’s body and brain develop, which can cause both mental and physical challenges for the baby.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
4. CEREBRAL PALSY (CP)
• Cerebral“- Latin Cerebrum;
– Affected part of brain
• “Palsy " -Gr. para- beyond,
lysis – loosening
– Lack of muscle control
5. CEREBRAL
PALSY
• A motor function disorder
– caused by permanent, non-progressive brain lesion
– present at birth or shortly thereafter. (Mosby, 2006)
• Non-curable, life-long condition
• According to a recent definition CP “describes a group of permanent
disorders of the development of movement and posture,causing
activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances
• that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor
disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of
sensation, perception,cognition, communication, and behaviour; by
epilepsy; and by secondary musculoskeletal problems”
9. An insult or injury to the brain
– Fixed, static lesion(s)
– In single or multiple areas of the motor
centers of the brain

"fencing position“
-- head to one side, arm & leg on that side
extended, opposite limbs flexed
Placing reflex
When the dorsal (back) side of the hand or
foot is placed on the edge of a surface, such
as a table, the infant will lift the extremity
and place it on the flat surface.
Landau reflex
When the infant is held in a horizontal prone
position, the infant will lift head and extend
the neck and trunk. When the neck is
passively flexed, the entire body will flex
3m-2y
35. Parachute Reflex
•
When held around the waist in a horizontal prone position and then lowering
the infant slowly, head first to the surface. By age 6 to 8 months the infant
should respond by extending the arms and hands to break the “fall”. If this
response is asymmetrical it indicates an unilateral motor abnormality.
37. Late infancy
• Inability to perform motor skills as indicated:
– Control hand grasp by 3 months
– Rolling over by 5 months
– Independent sitting by 7 months
• Abnormal Developmental Patterns:
–
–
–
–
Hand preference by 12 months
Excessive arching of back
Log rolling
Abnormal or prolonged parachute response
38. Abnormal Developmental
Patterns after 1 year of age:
• “W sitting” – knees flexed,

42. - No treatment to cure cerebral palsy.
- Brain damage cannot be corrected.
• Crucial for children with CP:
–Early Identification;
–Multidisciplinary Care; and
–Support
44. A. General management
- Proper nutrition and personal care
B. Pharmacologic
Intrathecal, Baclofen
- control muscle spasms and seizures,
Glycopyrrolate -control drooling
Pamidronate -may help with osteoporosis.
45. Baclofen
• Oral delivery was common but
sedation is more, so Intrathecal
Baclofen Using a pump Delivered
directly to the spinal fluid
• GABA agonist – inhibits release of
excitatory neurotransmitter at
level of spinal cord
• It is commonly used in a starting
dose of 1.25 - 2.5 mg BD orally
To avoid brain effects
46. BOTOLUNIM TOXIN
The toxin is produced by the anaerobic sporeforming bacterium Clostridium
botulinum, of which eight immunologically
distinct serotypes – A, B, C1, C2, D,
E, F, and G – have been identified.
Type A and B are used clinically in
variousconditions like focal tissue spasms,
blepharospam, dystonia, achalia, urology,
cerebral palsy, cosmetic surgeries, toe clawing.
Relief of athetosis and dystonia - is difficult
occasionally levo-dopa for severe athetosis and
carbamezepine for dystonia may be helpful.
Thalamotomy for athetoid CP, stereotactic
dentatomy and chronic cerebellar stimulation via
implanted electrode .
Multiple injection sites to avoid
toxicity. acetylcholine-blocking
chemical denervant
Requires adjunctive therapy like
splints, orthoses, casting, manual
stretch, posturing
The children in CT receive bilateral Botox
injection @12 u/kg with topical anaesthesia
and analgesic cover/ sedation
47. C. Surgery
-To loosen joints,
-Relieve muscle tightness,
- Straightening of different twists or
unusual curvatures of leg muscles
- Improve the ability to sit, stand, and
walk.
48. Selective posterior rhizotomy
• Best for : spastic diplegia, 4-8 yrs, no previous
surgery, no contractures, no extra pyramidal signs
• Not done in hemi/ quadriplegia
49. How it Works
• The Sensory nerve fibers are exposed, then stimulated and the
responses of the leg muscles are observed. Those that have an
abnormal or excessive response are severed. Those with a normal
response are left intact.
• Intensive rehabilitation is required after the surgery, usually up to six
weeks, followed by physical therapy on an ongoing basis

Orthopedic Procedures
Usually multiple deformities at different joints
Knowledge of complex effects each deformity has on
other lower extremity joints
Diiferentiate between
primary deformity : needs treatment
compensatory deformity :
can improve without intervention
53. Cerebral palsy
Prerequisites for effective surgery
• Type : spastic
• Extent : hemiplegics / diplegics : good results
quadriplegics : minimal
improvement
• Age : 3- 12 years
• IQ : good
• Good upper limb function : for walking
• Underlying muscle power : not weak
• Walker / non-walker :walker
surgery hardly changes state but improves
gait, to get him better from current state
54. Cerebral palsy
Timing For Orthop Surgery
• For structural changes : Early
e.g. Hip subluxation , usually <5 years
• To improve function ( gait ) :
defer until walking ( independently / with aids )
until gait pattern develops and could be assessed
walking : 18 – 21 months in hemiplegia
3 – 4 years in spastic diplegia
• Optimum time of lower extremity surgery
5 – 7 years: can analyze and observe gait pattern
56. Cerebral palsy
Hip Deformities
• Dynamic deformities
• Tight adductors – scissoring
• Tight flexors – with pelvic inclination
compensatory knee / ankle/ trunk deformities
• Hip subluxation / dislocation :

Femoral Anteversion more than true Valgus
60. • When a hip at risk is identified,a program of aggressive
physical therapy and abduction splinting typically is started,
later soft tissue release of contracted tendons is indicated.
• In Subluxated hip, younger children, soft tissue releases
alone may be sufficient, but most patients with hip
subluxation require osteotomy in addition to soft tissue
release. Operative correction of femoral valgus and
anteversion and acetabular dysplasia is necessary at this
stage to prevent further subluxation and dislocation.
