Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that can affect brain and nervous system functions such as movement, learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking. It is caused by oxygen deprivation to the baby's brain in the womb, which can result from bleeding in the brain, infections, head injuries, or infections in the mother during pregnancy. Symptoms vary between individuals but can range from mild to severe impairment of motor functions on one or both sides of the body, and are usually noticed before age 2. Diagnostic tests help detect cerebral palsy but a full neurological examination is needed for an official diagnosis.

Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy is caused by injuries or abnormalities in the brain that occur before or during birth, resulting in lower oxygen levels. It is usually diagnosed within the first two years of life. Babies who experience illnesses, bleeding in the brain, head injuries, or infections during their mother's pregnancy have a higher risk of developing cerebral palsy. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include tight or weak muscles, poor coordination, seizures, speech and learning disabilities, and vision or hearing problems. Treatment focuses on physical, occupational and speech therapy.
Celebral Palsy
This document discusses the signs and symptoms of cerebral palsy. It notes that signs are clinical effects that a doctor can observe through exams and tests, while symptoms are effects the child feels. Signs and symptoms vary between individuals and can include developmental delays, abnormal muscle tone, impaired motor skills and coordination, poor posture, and associative conditions like seizures. Many signs and symptoms may not appear until ages 3 to 5 as the brain develops, but early signs can include delays in milestones like sitting, crawling and walking.
Comment on Infant sleep predicts attention regulation and behavior
Poor sleep patterns in infants have been linked to behavioral issues later in childhood. However, the underlying causes of both poor infant sleep and later behavioral problems are still unknown. Disturbances in habituation, which can result from prenatal alcohol exposure, disrupt infant sleep and contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders like fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Rather than causing neurological impairments, poor infant sleep is a consequence of widespread brain development issues stemming from the most frequent cause - prenatal alcohol exposure.
Epilepsy
The epilepsies are a spectrum of brain disorders ranging from severe,
life-threatening and disabling, to ones that are much
more benign. In epilepsy, the normal
pattern of neuronal activity becomes disturbed, causing strange
sensations, emotions,
and behavior or sometimes convulsions,
muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness. The epilepsies have many
possible causes
and there are several types of seizures.
Anything that disturbs the normal pattern of neuron activity—from
illness to brain
damage to abnormal brain development—can
lead to seizures.
Epilepsy may develop because of an abnormality in
brain wiring,
an imbalance of nerve signaling chemicals
called neurotransmitters, changes in important features of brain cells
called channels,
or some combination of these and other
factors. Having a single seizure as the result of a high fever (called
febrile seizure)
or head injury does not necessarily mean
that a person has epilepsy. Only when a person has had two or more
seizures is he
or she considered to have epilepsy. A
measurement of electrical activity in the brain and brain scans such as
magnetic resonance
imaging or computed tomography are common
diagnostic tests for epilepsy.
Memory loss
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a fatal brain disease that causes permanent damage through the breakdown of proteins which form plaques and tangles, killing brain cells and resulting in the loss of cognitive abilities like memory, thinking, and coordination. While there is currently no cure for AD, medications and lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and mental stimulation can help slow its progression.
Epilepsy keynote presi
Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. It is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain and is not contagious, though it often has a genetic component. Seizures occur when normal brain patterns become disrupted, controlled by the vagus nerve in the neck. Epilepsy can be managed with medications that control seizures or with surgical procedures like removing part of the brain or implanting a device to regulate the vagus nerve. While head injuries can cause seizures and potentially lead to epilepsy, having only one seizure is usually due to a temporary cause rather than epilepsy itself.
Cerebral palsy presentation for edu 290
Cerebral palsy is an abnormality of motor function that is acquired before or during early childhood and affects movement, posture, and balance. It can be caused by events during pregnancy like premature birth, genetic disorders, infections, strokes or lack of oxygen to the brain. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, which affects muscle tone, ataxic which affects coordination, and athetoid with involuntary movements. Treatment involves physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as medications to address symptoms, with the goal of helping those with cerebral palsy to lead full lives.
Epilepsy for Educators
- Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder affecting children, with between 5-10% of children experiencing a seizure before age 20.
- Most children with epilepsy test within the average range on IQ tests and attend regular schools, but they are at higher risk for learning and behavioral challenges.
- Learning disabilities and conditions like ADHD are commonly overlooked co-morbid conditions for children with epilepsy. Thorough evaluation of language, memory, and executive functions is important for proper intervention.

Period 2 - Maurica Villines - Life with Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes seizures and affects over 18 million people in the United States. Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Dr. John Hughlings Jackson discovered epilepsy in biblical times and found that structural problems in the brain can trigger seizures. Epilepsy can impact behavior, attention, and in some cases cause scoliosis. While seizures are typically controlled with prescription medication, people with epilepsy often face stigma and limitations in driving and career opportunities.
8,9 b scott marvell cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy is a movement disorder caused by damage to the developing brain before or during birth, which can result from fetal stroke, lack of oxygen, infections, or traumatic head injury. Symptoms include stiff or spastic muscles, poor muscle coordination, tremors, and difficulties with speech and writing. While most cases cannot be prevented, maintaining good prenatal health can help reduce risks. Treatment involves specialists like physical therapists and involves managing symptoms.
Learning Disability
Learning disabilities can be caused by factors that affect brain development before or shortly after birth, such as the mother becoming ill during pregnancy, problems during birth like lack of oxygen, or genetic factors. Specific conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, and epilepsy are also associated with higher rates of learning disabilities. Profound multiple learning disabilities involve more than one disability where the most significant is a learning disability, and often co-occur with physical, sensory, health or mental challenges requiring full-time care.
Epilepsy Myths & Misconceptions
The document discusses common myths and misconceptions about epilepsy, stating that epilepsy is not contagious, people cannot swallow their tongue during a seizure, and not all seizures involve loss of consciousness. It notes that while some people have difficulty controlling seizures, up to 70% of people with epilepsy can achieve seizure freedom with medication. The document also emphasizes that epilepsy usually does not impact employment, parenting abilities, or participation in sports.
Epilepsy Awareness
Risk factors for epilepsy include family history, head injuries, strokes, brain infections in childhood, and increasing age. Complications of epilepsy include falling during seizures, drowning, car accidents, pregnancy risks for both mother and baby, and increased likelihood of psychological issues like depression. Managing epilepsy involves identifying and reducing risk factors, making lifestyle changes, and working closely with doctors on medication and safety during activities like driving, swimming, and pregnancy.
Celebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain either during development before birth or shortly after and results in impaired movement and posture. It is considered a non-progressive, permanent condition but is generally non-life threatening. While incurable, treatment and therapy can help manage symptoms and maximize independence. The majority of cases are not caused during birth but from abnormalities earlier in development.

Epilepsy Awareness
The document discusses how epilepsy is diagnosed and treated. For diagnosis, it is important for doctors to get a clear description of seizures from both patients and witnesses. Tests like brain scans, EEGs, and bloodwork can help diagnose epilepsy but may be normal. A diagnosis usually requires more than one seizure. Treatments include daily anti-seizure medications to stabilize brain activity, though epilepsy cannot be cured. Medication choice depends on seizure type, age, and other factors. Most people's seizures are controlled with one medication, though some require two.
Periventricular leukomalacia (pvl)
Periventricular leukomalacia (pvl) is a form of brain damage that affects the white matter of brain, resulting in the cells in the white matter of brain either decaying or dying.

1. The document discusses physical, cognitive, and language development in infancy based on Piaget's stages of cognitive development. It covers topics like brain growth, motor milestones, perception, and caregiver influences on development.
2. Key aspects of cognitive development in infancy include the sensorimotor stage where object permanence emerges, as well as the beginnings of symbolic thought and mental representations.
3. Language development starts with prelinguistic communication through babbling and sounds before words are acquired.
How Cognitively Stimulating Activities Can Delay Alzheimer’s
How Cognitively Stimulating Activities Can Delay Alzheimer’sDr Jenson Mak PhD(Med) FRACP FAFRM FACP MBBS BMSc
The document discusses how cognitively stimulating activities such as games, puzzles, reading, writing lists, cooking, and socializing can delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease by strengthening connections in the brain. These activities use different parts of the brain and help build resilience against cognitive decline. Engaging in regular cognitive stimulation may delay the onset of Alzheimer's by up to 5 years by changing the structure and function of the brain so skills are maintained for longer. The document recommends starting cognitive activities as early as possible to gain the most benefit.Men's health word
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease, including what it is, how it works, its progression and stages, who can get it, symptoms, causes, treatments, its impact on men's health, and recommendations. Alzheimer's slows connections between brain cells and causes plaques and tangles that build up and damage cells. It typically begins around age 60 and risk rises with age. While the exact cause is unknown, factors like age, genetics, health conditions increase risk. There are some treatments but no cure currently. Men are twice as likely to get Alzheimer's than women.
Microcephaly
Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition where an infant's head is significantly smaller than average for their age and sex. It is usually the result of abnormal brain development in the womb or after birth and can be caused by genetic factors or exposure to infections, toxins, or lack of oxygen prenatally. Children with microcephaly often have developmental delays or intellectual disabilities, and treatment focuses on early intervention to support development and manage any complications.

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture, caused by abnormal development or damage to the brain. It appears early in life and causes disabilities like slow learning of movements. There are three main types - spastic, athetoid, and ataxic - depending on the affected part of the brain. Cerebral palsy is usually caused by issues during pregnancy or early childhood like prematurity, lack of oxygen, infection, or genetic abnormalities. Symptoms range from minor motor difficulties to inability to walk or involuntary movements. Research aims to find treatments and cures.
Atonic seizures in children
A 2-year-old boy named Aminul Gazi was brought to the OPD after his mother reported that he often fell to the ground spontaneously without warning. During these episodes, which lasted less than a minute, he would go limp and appear powerless. Sometimes he would tell his mother before falling. The attacks started 6 months ago and occurred every 2-3 weeks. Aminul was diagnosed with atonic seizures, which involve a sudden loss of muscle tone causing the person to collapse.
Health benefits of sleep powerpoint
Lack of sleep can negatively impact memory, learning, mood, and overall health by hindering brain function and increasing inflammation. Getting adequate sleep improves memory, focus, learning, and mood while reducing fatigue. Adopting lifestyle changes like limiting caffeine and screens before bed, along with stress relief techniques, can help establish better sleep habits. Consulting a doctor can also help address any medical issues impacting sleep.

Genetic mutations project
PKU is a genetic mutation where the body lacks the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase needed to break down the amino acid phenylalanine. When phenylalanine builds up in the blood, it damages the brain and nervous system, potentially causing intellectual disabilities, behavioral issues, and other health problems. It is treated through a lifelong low-phenylalanine diet to prevent toxic buildup. PKU affects approximately 1 in 10,000-15,000 newborns. It is diagnosed through newborn screening and managed through dietary control.

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture, caused by abnormal development or damage to the brain. It appears early in life and causes disabilities like slow learning of movements. There are three main types - spastic, athetoid, and ataxic - depending on the affected part of the brain. Cerebral palsy is usually caused by issues during pregnancy or early childhood like prematurity, lack of oxygen, infection, or genetic abnormalities. Symptoms range from minor motor difficulties to inability to walk or involuntary movements. Research aims to find treatments and cures.

Cereberal palsy dr hussein abass 2019 ppt
Cerebral palsy is caused by non-progressive disturbances in the developing fetal or infant brain that affect movement and posture. The document discusses the normal process of brain development and the critical periods of growth. The majority (80%) of causes are prenatal, such as maternal infections, drugs/alcohol exposure, genetic malformations, or complications during birth like prematurity, oxygen deprivation, or infections. While cerebral palsy was once considered static, some features like movement disorders and orthopedic complications can change over time.
Epilepsy group6
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes seizures and is usually diagnosed after two or more seizures. It affects the nervous system and can develop at any age for various reasons, though the cause is often unknown. Seizures occur when there is abnormal electrical activity in the brain. While epilepsy cannot be cured, seizures can be controlled through antiepileptic medications in many cases. Getting proper sleep is also important for managing seizures.
Mini seminar on cerebral palsy
This document summarizes a seminar on cerebral palsy that included presentations from multiple speakers. It covered the epidemiology, anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, and differential diagnosis and treatment of cerebral palsy. The epidemiology section provided statistics on prevalence, risk factors like preterm birth, and trends over time. The anatomy section described the pyramidal and extrapyramidal motor systems. Pathophysiology focused on causes like periventricular leukomalacia in preterm infants. Clinical manifestations included abnormal muscle tone, feeding difficulties, and lack of coordination. Assessment instruments for functional classification like the Gross Motor Function Classification System were also summarized.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affects movement and posture and is caused by injury to the developing brain. It causes muscle tightness and involuntary movements that can range from mild to severe. Common signs in infants include problems with sucking, swallowing, and unusual positions of the body. While there is no cure for cerebral palsy, treatments like physical therapy, medication, and surgery can help improve symptoms and quality of life. The most common types of cerebral palsy are spastic, which causes muscle tightness, and athetoid, which causes involuntary movements.
The aging brain
The document discusses several changes that occur in the aging brain including a loss of neurons, decreased cognitive ability starting at age 40, and changes in senses, muscles, emotions, and learning ability. Diseases like Alzheimer's and strokes can further impact brain function. While neurogenesis allows some rebuilding, the process decreases with age. Lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and mental stimulation may help support brain health.
14. Cerebral palsy.pptx with it's course
Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement and posture caused by non-progressive damage to the developing brain, which can occur during pregnancy, birth, or early childhood. The main types are spastic, which causes increased muscle tone and stiffness; dystonic, characterized by involuntary movements; and ataxic, with lack of coordination. Cerebral palsy results in difficulties with motor skills, movement, muscle tone, reflexes, posture, and balance. Early intervention with a multidisciplinary team including physical therapists, occupational therapists, and doctors can help improve development and prevent complications.
Pharmacotherapy of Epilepsy and anti epileptic drugs
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Around 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, with nearly 90% living in developing regions. Epilepsy can often be controlled with anti-epileptic drug treatment, though many in developing areas lack access to treatment. Seizures have various clinical manifestations depending on their location and spread in the brain. Diagnosis is based on the characteristics of seizures, though tests like EEG and MRI can provide additional information. Treatment involves lifestyle management of seizures and long-term use of anti-epileptic drugs to control seizures, with slow titration and withdrawal of drugs to avoid adverse effects.
Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a physical impairment that affects movement and motor skills. It is caused by abnormalities in the developing brain, often before birth. Common causes include low birth weight, premature birth, infections, and lack of oxygen. CP affects areas like the cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. It can cause spasticity, ataxia, or dyskinesia. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and may include issues with mobility, muscle tone, coordination, speech, and secondary effects like pain, fatigue, and depression. As people with CP age, secondary effects can worsen earlier than normal. Challenging behaviors are also common, especially for those with intellectual disabilities or

1. The document discusses physical, cognitive, and language development in infancy based on Piaget's stages of development. It covers topics like motor milestones, brain growth, perception, and caregiver influences.
2. Key aspects of cognitive development include object permanence emerging around 8 months and symbolic thought by 2 years of age according to Piaget's sensorimotor stage theory.
3. Language development begins prenatally and progresses from babbling to first words by age 1.
33- Cerebral Palsy.pptx
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that cause limitations in movement and posture due to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. It is diagnosed based on a motor impairment, static brain lesion, and injury occurring before age 2. Common causes include prematurity, infection, stroke, and birth asphyxia. CP is classified based on affected limbs and type of movement abnormality such as spastic, dyskinetic, or ataxic. Evaluation involves history, exam assessing tone and reflexes, and neuroimaging to identify brain lesions and timing of injury.
Microcephaly 3.pptx
Microcephaly is a medical condition where the head circumference is more than two standard deviations smaller than average for age and sex because the brain has not developed or grown properly. It can be present at birth or develop in the first few years of life. The severity of associated mental retardation is related to the severity of microcephaly, with a 33% risk of developing mental retardation for head circumferences 2-3 SD below average and 62% for over 3 SD below average. Microcephaly can be classified as primary/genetic or secondary/environmental based on its cause. The prognosis depends on any accompanying conditions, with microcephaly generally resulting in reduced life expectancy and poor chances of normal brain development.
Pt assesment BY PRASANTH PS
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders caused by damage to the developing brain either during pregnancy or shortly after birth. It affects movement and posture and can cause physical disability. The main types are spastic CP (stiff muscles), athetoid/dyskinetic CP (uncontrolled movements), and ataxic CP (problems with coordination). Risk factors include preterm birth, low birth weight, infections during pregnancy, complications during delivery, and genetic disorders. Diagnosis involves assessing motor skills, muscle tone, reflexes, and ruling out other potential causes through imaging and tests.
Cerebral Palsy Slide
Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects muscle coordination and movement, making everyday tasks like walking and talking difficult for children. It results from injuries or abnormalities in the developing brain that disrupt signals between the brain and muscles. Cerebral palsy can be caused by issues during pregnancy, preterm birth, genetic disorders, or other environmental factors. The most common type is spastic cerebral palsy, which causes stiff muscles and impaired movement. Parents can help their children with cerebral palsy by encouraging independence, advocating for their needs, and finding community support.
