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 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

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
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.

1. Learning Disabilities and Disorders in Children
- By Dr Purvi Doshi
Consultant Paediatric Physiotherapy
Does your child struggle with school? Do they dread reading out loud, writing an
essay, or tackling math? Here’s how to recognize the signs of different types of learning
disorders. Children with learning disabilities can, and do, succeed It can be tough to face the
possibility that your child has a learning disorder. No parent wants to see their child suffer. You
may wonder what it could mean for your child’s future, or worry about how they will make it
through school. Perhaps you’re concerned that by calling attention to your child’s learning
problems they might be labeled “slow” or assigned to a less challenging class. But the important
thing to remember is that most kids with learning disabilities are just as smart as everyone else.
They just need to be taught in ways that are tailored to their unique learning styles.
Signs and symptoms of learning disabilities and disorders
Learning disabilities look very different from one child to another. One child may struggle with
reading and spelling, while another loves books but can't understand math. Still another child
may have difficulty understanding what others are saying or communicating out loud. The
problems are very different, but they are all learning disorders.
The following checklists offer some common red flags for learning disorders.
Remember that children who don’t have learning disabilities may still experience some of these
difficulties at various times. The time for concern is when there is a consistent unevenness in
your child’s ability to master certain skills.
Signs and symptoms of learning disabilities: Preschool age
● Problems pronouncing words.
● Trouble finding the right word.
● Difficulty rhyming.
● Trouble learning the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, or days of the
week.
2. ● Difficulty following directions or learning routines.
● Difficulty controlling crayons, pencils, and scissors, or coloring within the
lines.
● Trouble with buttons, zippers, snaps, or learning to tie shoes.
Different Types Learning Disorders
1. Learning disabilities in reading (dyslexia)
There are two types of learning disabilities in reading. Basic reading problems occur when there
is difficulty understanding the relationship between sounds, letters and words. Reading
comprehension problems occur when there is an inability to grasp the meaning of words,
phrases, and paragraphs.
Signs of reading difficulty include problems with Letter and word recognition, Understanding
words and ideas,Reading speed and fluency, General vocabulary skills.
2. Learning disabilities in math (dyscalculia)
Learning disabilities in math vary greatly depending on the child's other strengths and
weaknesses. A child's ability to do math will be affected differently by a language learning
disability, a visual disorder, or a difficulty with sequencing, memory, or organization. A child
with a math-based learning disorder may struggle with memorization and organization of
numbers, operation signs, and number “facts” (like 5+5=10 or 5×5=25). Children with math
learning disorders might also have trouble with counting principles (such as counting by twos or
counting by fives) or have difficulty telling time.
3. Learning disabilities in writing (dysgraphia)
Learning disabilities in writing can involve the physical act of writing or the mental activity of
comprehending information. Basic writing disorder refers to physical difficulty forming words
and letters. Expressive writing disability indicates a struggle to organize thoughts on paper.
Symptoms of a written language learning disability revolve around the act of writing. They
include problems with Neatness and consistency of writing, Accurately copying letters and
words, Spelling consistency, Writing organization and coherence.
4. Learning disabilities in motor skills (dyspraxia)
Motor difficulty refers to problems with movement and coordination whether it is with fine
3. motor skills (cutting, writing) or gross motor skills (running, jumping). A motor disability is
sometimes referred to as an “output” activity meaning that it relates to the output of
information from the brain. In order to run, jump, write or cut something, the brain must be
able to communicate with the necessary limbs to complete the action.
Signs that your child might have a motor coordination disability include problems with physical
abilities that require hand-eye coordination, like holding a pencil or buttoning a shirt.
5. Learning disabilities in language (aphasia/dysphasia)
Language and communication learning disabilities involve the ability to understand or produce
spoken language. Language is also considered an output activity because it requires organizing
thoughts in the brain and calling upon the right words to verbally explain or communicate
something.
Signs of a language-based learning disorder involve problems with verbal language skills, such
as the ability to retell a story, the fluency of speech, and the ability to understand the meaning
of words, directions, and the like.
6. Auditory and visual processing problems: the importance of the ears and eyes. The eyes
and the ears are the primary means of delivering information to the brain, a process sometimes
called “input.” If either the eyes or the ears aren't working properly, learning can suffer.
Auditory processing disorder – Professionals may refer to the ability to hear well as “auditory
processing skills” or “receptive language.” The ability to hear things correctly greatly impacts
the ability to read, write, and spell. An inability to distinguish subtle differences in sound make
it difficult to sound out words and understand the basic concepts of reading and writing.
Visual processing disorder – Problems in visual perception include missing subtle differences in
shapes, reversing letters or numbers, skipping words, skipping lines, misperceiving depth or
distance, or having problems with eye–hand coordination. Professionals may refer to the work
of the eyes as “visual processing.” Visual perception can affect motor skills, reading
comprehension, and math.
Other disorders that make learning difficult
Difficulty in school doesn't always stem from a learning disability. Anxiety, depression, stressful
events, emotional trauma, and other conditions affecting concentration make learning more of
a challenge. In addition, ADHD and autism sometimes co-occur or are confused with learning
disabilities.
ADHD – Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), while not considered a learning
disability, can certainly disrupt learning. Children with ADHD often have problems sitting still,
staying focused, following instructions, staying organized, and completing homework.
4. Autism – Difficulty mastering certain academic skills can stem from pervasive developmental
disorders such as autism and Asperger's syndrome. Children with autism spectrum disorders
may have trouble communicating, reading body language, learning basic skills, making friends,
and making eye contact.
Diagnosis and testing for learning disabilities and disorders
Since diagnosing a learning disability isn’t always easy, don’t assume you know what your
child’s problem is, even if the symptoms seem clear. It's important to have your child tested
and evaluated by a qualified professional.
Types of specialists who may be able to test for and diagnose learning disabilities include like
Clinical psychologists, School psychologists, Child psychiatrists, Educational psychologist,
Developmental psychologist, Neuropsychologist, Psychometrist, Occupational therapist, Speech
and language therapist, Other professional who is working with children.
