Occipital lobe and clinical effects of its dysfunctiondrnaveent
1. The document discusses the anatomy and functions of the occipital lobe, including its layers of cortex and variations. It describes the primary and associative visual cortices and their roles in perception.
2. Occipital lobe lesions can cause visual field defects, cortical blindness, visual agnosias, hallucinations, and other visual disturbances depending on whether the lesion is unilateral or bilateral.
3. Clinical tests are discussed to differentiate organic from malingered visual impairments and to localize lesions in the occipital lobe.
Consultation and liaison psychiatry meاحمد البحيري
Consultation-liaison psychiatry involves psychiatrists consulting on patients in medical settings to address intersections between physical and mental health. Issues include capacity to consent, conflicts with medical teams, and patients reporting physical symptoms due to underlying mental disorders. The consultant evaluates patients for suspected psychiatric disorders, agitation, suicidal/homicidal thoughts, and high psychiatric risk factors. Common reasons for consultations include psychiatric symptoms, lack of organic cause for symptoms, and non-compliance.
The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the brain containing most of the visual cortex. It contains the primary visual cortex (V1) and several extrastriate areas involved in more complex visual tasks. Lesions can cause visual field defects, cortical blindness, visual agnosias or hallucinations depending on the location and extent of damage. Balint's syndrome and simultanagnosia involve bilateral lesions disrupting global visual perception while preserving local details.
Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acute autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of the peripheral nerves. It most commonly develops one to three weeks after a respiratory or gastrointestinal infection. Clinical features include rapidly progressive ascending paralysis, loss of deep tendon reflexes, and possible involvement of cranial nerves or the autonomic nervous system. Diagnosis is based on the clinical features and examination findings. Treatment involves intravenous immunoglobulin or plasma exchange to stop progression. Most patients recover fully but it may take several months and some are left with residual deficits.
The document provides guidelines for assessing and evaluating disabilities in India. It describes the following:
1. Authorities in India that are responsible for providing disability certificates according to the Persons with Disabilities Act of 1995.
2. The Indian Disability Evaluation and Assessment Scale (IDEAS) which was developed to measure and quantify disability in mental disorders.
3. How the IDEAS evaluates four areas - self-care, interpersonal activities, communication and understanding, and work - to determine the level of global disability on a scale from 0-100%.
Cauda Equina Syndrome is a condition involving the bundle of nerves originating from the lower end of the spinal cord. It can result from central disc herniations, spinal tumors, trauma, or other causes. Patients may experience LMN signs, saddle anesthesia, gait ataxia, and sexual/bladder/bowel dysfunction. MRI is used for diagnosis. Treatment requires immediate neurosurgical consultation and decompression, as delays can lead to permanent deficits.
Balance problems can make you feel dizzy, as if the room is spinning, unsteady, or lightheaded. You might feel as if the room is spinning or you're going to fall down. These feelings can happen whether you're lying down, sitting or standing.
Many body systems — including your muscles, bones, joints, eyes, the balance organ in the inner ear, nerves, heart and blood vessels — must work normally for you to have normal balance. When these systems aren't functioning well, you can experience balance problems.
Many medical conditions can cause balance problems. However, most balance problems result from issues in your balance organ in the inner ear (vestibular system).

Dyskinesia is characterized by abnormal, involuntary muscle movements that can range from mild to severe. It is most commonly caused by long-term use of medications like levodopa for Parkinson's disease or antipsychotics. Symptoms vary but include tremors, tics, writhing movements, and issues with coordination. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may involve medication changes, deep brain stimulation, physical therapy, or other approaches.
Apraxia is a speech and language disorder where the brain has trouble sending messages to the muscles that control speech. There are two types - acquired apraxia which affects adults, and developmental (childhood) apraxia of speech. People with apraxia have difficulty coordinating movements needed for clear speech, and problems may also affect other motor skills and academic areas. While the causes are unknown, treatment involves intensive speech therapy focusing on repetition to retrain muscle movements.
This document discusses several counseling theories and their importance, focusing on four key theories:
1) Psychoanalytic theory helps understand the ego, id, and superego, but is unpopular due to cultural inappropriateness and reliance on fantasy.
2) Adlerian theory focuses on goals, lifestyle, and social interests to motivate individuals, but overreliance can neglect other effective theories.
3) Person-centered theory emphasizes unconditional positive regard and client self-actualization, but lacks standardization and challenges clients.
4) Behavior theory uses conditioning and reinforcement to explain self-management, but may overfocus on external behaviors.
Delirium, also referred to as "acute confusional state" or "acute brain syndrome," is a condition of severe confusion and rapid changes in brain function.

Headway UK provides support and information to people with acquired brain injuries and their families through a network of local support groups across the UK. The organization aims to bridge the gap between medical care after brain injuries and cognitive rehabilitation services. Cognitive rehabilitation involves holistic assessment and treatment, including education about cognitive issues, goal setting, skills training, compensation strategies, and addressing emotional needs. Two case studies are presented: Ian, who had memory and attention problems treated with cognitive strategies and anxiety management, and Heather, whose frontal lobe damage caused behavioral issues treated with medication, education, counseling, and involvement in a volunteer program.
DBT is a treatment for borderline personality disorder that combines cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices. It aims to help patients regulate their emotions and improve their interpersonal relationships through weekly skills training groups, individual therapy sessions, phone coaching, and therapist consultation meetings. Key aspects of DBT include balancing acceptance of patients with strategies to induce change, validating patients' experiences, and teaching skills for mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation.
Primitive reflexes are involuntary movements exhibited by normal infants that originate in the central nervous system. Some of the main primitive reflexes include the Moro reflex, which causes infants to spread their arms out when startled; the palmer grasp reflex, where infants' fingers close around objects placed in their hands; and the Babinski reflex, where an infant's big toe moves upward when the sole of the foot is stroked. These reflexes develop in utero or during early infancy and typically disappear by 6-24 months as the infant's motor skills mature.
Defining, classifying and measuring functioning and disability in DSM5Bedirhan Ustun

Now there it is required that "impairment" criteria is specified in accordance with the ICF ( International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health ) and operationally measured with the WHODAS 2.0;
This document provides information about bipolar affective disorder, including:
- Bipolar disorder involves alternating periods of mania/hypomania and depression, with types including bipolar I, II, and cyclothymia.
- Mania involves abnormally elevated mood and other symptoms lasting at least one week. Hypomania is similar but less severe and impairing.
- Depression involves depressed mood or loss of interest for at least two weeks along with other symptoms.
- Treatment involves medications like mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines to manage symptoms. Nursing care focuses on safety, education, and symptom management.
1. Chorea is a state of excessive, spontaneous, irregular movements that are randomly distributed and abnormal in character. It can range from mild restlessness to violent disabling movements.
2. Ballismus involves proximal, flinging, violent involuntary movements. Both chorea and ballismus are associated with basal ganglia dysfunction and abnormal neurotransmitter levels like decreased GABA and increased dopamine.
3. Causes of chorea and ballismus include infections, metabolic and endocrine disorders, drugs, trauma, vascular events, tumors, and hereditary conditions like Huntington's disease. Treatment involves reducing dopamine levels with antipsychotics or GABA agonists, as well as surgical procedures like pallidotomy or thalamotomy
This document discusses different types of agnosia, which are disorders that cause inability to recognize sensory stimuli despite normal sensory perception. It defines agnosia and describes its classification into visual, auditory and tactile modalities. It provides details on visual processing pathways and disorders of the ventral "what" and dorsal "where" streams. Specific visual agnosias discussed include apperceptive, associative, integrative, prosopagnosia, color agnosia and simultanagnosia. Neuroanatomical bases and diagnostic criteria for each are outlined.
The document provides an overview of existential therapy, including:
- Its key concepts focus on humans' capacity for self-awareness, freedom and responsibility, search for meaning and identity, and awareness of death.
- The therapeutic process aims to help clients listen to their own inner knowledge and bring out their latent potential. The therapist acts as a philosophical companion rather than repairing clients' psyches.
- Techniques include identifying assumptions in early phases, examining value systems in middle phases, and applying learning to action in later phases. Existential therapy can be applied to both brief and group counseling settings.
This document discusses spasticity management. It defines spasticity as a hypertonic motor disorder caused by injury to the corticospinal pathways. Signs of upper motor neuron syndrome include hyperactive stretch reflexes and involuntary flexor/extensor spasms. Spasticity is assessed using measures like the modified Ashworth scale and is treated using a multidisciplinary approach including oral medications, injections, surgery, and physiotherapy. Treatment aims to reduce spasticity and improve function and range of motion.
Psychoanalysis is a lengthy insight therapy developed by Freud that aims to uncover unconscious conflicts through techniques like free association and dream analysis. It views human behavior as resulting from interactions between the id, ego, and superego. The goal of psychoanalysis is to help patients understand their unconscious motivations by becoming aware of unresolved conflicts driving their behaviors. Techniques include free association, dream analysis, and interpretation by the therapist to provide insight and allow new ways of coping with anxiety and guilt.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are severe neurodevelopmental conditions caused by atypical brain development beginning in early life. Signs of ASDs typically emerge between 12-18 months of age and involve qualitative abnormalities in social interactions and communication as well as restricted, repetitive behaviors. While the causes of ASDs remain largely unknown, genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role. Early diagnosis and intervention can help improve core symptoms, though outcomes vary significantly between individuals.
Somatoform disorders involve physical symptoms that cannot be fully explained by medical factors and cause significant distress. Somatic symptom disorder involves preoccupation with fears of illness for 6+ months. Illness anxiety disorder is a preoccupation with being sick without actual symptoms. Conversion disorder involves psychological stress converting to motor or sensory symptoms. Treatment focuses on reassurance, psychotherapy, and addressing underlying psychiatric conditions.
Dr. Suresh Kumar Murugesan is presenting on the topic of introduction to psychotherapy. He has extensive qualifications and experience in the field of psychology. Psychotherapy involves treating mental illnesses and disorders through psychological methods such as talk therapy. It aims to help patients manage symptoms so they can function better. There are different types of psychotherapy based on theoretical approaches, and it can be delivered in individual, group or family settings. The goals of psychotherapy are to facilitate change, enhance well-being, and improve how patients relate to themselves and others.

The document summarizes Charles Correa's incremental housing project in CBD Belapur, India. It describes the project's low-cost housing typologies designed around communal courtyards. Housing was organized into clusters of 7-12 pairs of freestanding homes arranged around shared spaces. This allowed residents to independently modify their own homes over time. While many original structures have been replaced, the hierarchy of community spaces remains intact decades later. The project demonstrated high-density affordable housing built at a human scale with simple materials. However, maintaining common spaces and adapting to changing aspirations have presented challenges over time.

Health facility design for infection controlSA FHE
The document discusses guidelines for designing health facilities to promote infection control through proper ventilation and indoor air quality. It emphasizes the importance of passive ventilation strategies like open windows, as studies have shown closed environments concentrate more pathogens. Design approaches should consider the local climate and prioritize natural ventilation over fully mechanical systems where possible. Material selection, surface finishes, and planning layouts also impact infection control and need to balance hygiene, acoustics, and antimicrobial resistance. An integrated, multidisciplinary approach is advocated to create sustainable, healthy hospital buildings.

SAFHE/CEASA 2011 - Open Building for Healthcare Facilities: Lessons from the ...SA FHE
Amira Osman presents lessons learned from the construction of the INO Hospital in Bern, Switzerland using "open building" practices. Presented at the SAFHE/CEASA 2011 conference in Johannesburg, South Africa.
This paper proposes a methodology to provide a new system of area standards, driven by clinical needs, in order to give guidance to health planners, give a baseline for cost comparisons and a method of judging value for money in a given health facility design.
“More clarity for less costly confusion”
SAFHE/CEASA2011 - Hospital Design in Southern AfricaSA FHE
No matter how fast we construct buildings the time it takes from planning to use, means that the building is dated at the time it is handed over.
This time frame will vary according to the nature and circumstances of the contract and or construction.
In private healthcare it will average 24 months (2 years)
In public healthcare its longer 36 months – 60 months (5 years)
There is no value judgement simply a comment of the process, and regardless of cause or the actual time frame it is simply out of date by the time of handover.
This paper explores explores the notion that out of date hospitals ( crocodiles) are better than hospitals that are extinct (dodo).
This is a presentation on airborne disinfection methods as presented by Peta de Jager at the bi-annual SAFHE/CEASA Conference 2011.
The conference theme was "More for less".

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
