Multiple disability
Multiple disability is defined as a combination of more than one disability in a person, such as physical, sensory, and cognitive impairments that can severely impact communication and learning. Children with multiple disabilities often exhibit movement difficulties, intellectual challenges, sensory loss, and emotional disorders. The causes of multiple disabilities can be prenatal like genetic abnormalities, postnatal like childhood infections, or perinatal like lack of oxygen during birth. Those with multiple disabilities frequently face problems with vision, hearing, learning, communication, and mobility.
Introduction to disability
This document defines disability according to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It states disability is when a person has a long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairment that interacts with various barriers in society to hinder their full participation. These barriers can be physical, attitudinal, institutional, or related to communication. The document also discusses different types of impairments like hearing, visual or mobility issues and examples of barriers such as inaccessible buildings or negative assumptions.
Puzzle of Autism
Autism is a complex brain development disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. It affects approximately 1 in 88 children in the United States, with boys being 4-5 times more likely to be diagnosed than girls. While there is no single known cause of autism, potential causes include rare genetic mutations or changes as well as environmental risk factors during or after pregnancy. Symptoms of autism include challenges with communication, repetitive behaviors, and social interaction difficulties. Treatment involves a combination of therapeutic approaches like applied behavior analysis and medication.
Mental Retardation (Intellectual Disabilities
Mental retardation, also known as intellectual disabilities, refers to an IQ below 70 that develops before age 18 and affects 1-3% of the population. It has over 250 known biological and environmental causes, including genetic factors, chromosomal abnormalities, prenatal/perinatal injuries, and childhood disorders. Students with mental retardation receive educational supports that vary depending on their level of adaptive and intellectual functioning. While terminology and definitions have evolved, assessments still primarily rely on IQ cut-offs, though adaptive behavior is also considered.
Mental Retardation/Intellectual Disability: Definition and its causes
Presentation about the definition and causes of Mental Retardation or Intellectual Disability for Special Education subject.
Mental retardation pptx.
Mental retardation refers to significantly sub-average intellectual functioning and concurrent impairments in adaptive behaviors that manifest during the developmental period from birth to age 18. It can be caused by genetic factors like chromosomal abnormalities, metabolic disorders, or brain diseases, or environmental factors like infections, trauma, toxins, or socioeconomic conditions. Mental retardation is classified based on IQ scores into mild, moderate, severe, and profound. Signs include delays in meeting developmental milestones, poor cognitive skills, language problems, and lack of self-care abilities. Diagnosis involves assessing development, medical tests for underlying causes, and psychological testing. With improved care, many people with mental retardation can now be mainstreamed.
Autism pre
The document discusses autism as a developmental disability characterized by impaired social interaction and communication skills and restrictive and repetitive behaviors. It defines autism according to the IDEA and provides examples of traits such as lack of eye contact, delayed speech, repetitive behaviors, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. The document notes that autism is more prevalent now (1 in 88) than in the past, can be diagnosed using tools like the ABC and CARS, and can be treated with programs like ABA therapy, TEACCH, and sensory integration therapy.
Intellectual disabilities
The document discusses intellectual disabilities and their causes, characteristics, and impact on cognitive functioning. It explains that intellectual disabilities can be caused by genetic abnormalities, problems during pregnancy like illness/infections, complications during birth like lack of oxygen, premature birth, or brain infections after birth. Those with intellectual disabilities often have problems with memory, learning rates, attention, generalization of skills, and motivation. They may take longer to learn and recall information, have trouble focusing on tasks, and applying skills in new contexts without support. The document provides details on how intellectual disabilities affect different areas of cognitive development and learning.

This document provides information about learning disabilities, including definitions, types, causes, diagnosis, and assessment. It defines learning disabilities as disorders that affect the brain's ability to receive, process, store, or communicate information. Common types of learning disabilities include dyslexia (reading disability), dyscalculia (mathematics disability), and dysgraphia (writing disability). Learning disabilities are often identified through intelligence and achievement testing which looks for a discrepancy between cognitive ability and academic performance.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.
biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
