Special education
Learning disabilities are neurological disorders that affect the brain's ability to receive, process, store, respond to, and communicate information. Specifically, learning disabilities impact one or more of the following areas: reading, writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, and mathematical ability. Learning disabilities are not caused by intellectual disabilities, lack of motivation, or poor instruction. Rather, they are caused by intrinsic factors like central nervous system dysfunction or deficits in information processing, as well as extrinsic factors like genetic predispositions, physiological issues, or environmental influences during development. Individuals with learning disabilities may exhibit symptoms like difficulties with language processing, spelling, written expression, mathematics, visual perception, attention, memory, or motor skills.

For each, it outlines common signs and symptoms and provides strategies to help students who have these disorders.
Presentation of Learning Disabilities by Dr Tarek Elabsy
A learning disability is a condition that makes the learning process difficult due to how the brain processes information. It is found in children of normal intelligence who have difficulties learning specific skills like reading, writing, or math. Learning disabilities are disorders that affect basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using language, spoken or written. They can manifest as problems listening, thinking, speaking, reading, writing, spelling, or doing math. Learning disabilities have a variety of potential causes and symptoms, and a diagnosis requires evaluation by a trained professional using standardized tests.
detailed presentation on learning disabilities
This document discusses learning disabilities, including definitions, types, suspected causes, assessment practices, and legal considerations. It notes that learning disabilities affect a broad range of academic and functional skills, such as reading, writing, and reasoning. Common types include dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. Assessment involves informal methods like observations as well as formal testing of cognitive abilities, information processing, and educational achievement. Technology can help individuals with learning disabilities, and laws like IDEA, Section 504, and ADA provide legal protections for students.
Physical Disabilties and TBI
Physical disabilities can affect muscle coordination and movement and are caused by damage to the brain from events like fetal development issues, birth trauma, injuries, or genetic conditions. Common physical disabilities include cerebral palsy, spina bifida, spinal cord injuries, and muscular dystrophy. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when there is a blow to the head that causes the brain to hit against the skull, potentially tearing nerve fibers and bruising brain tissue. Acquired brain injury can also be non-traumatic through events like strokes, infections, or lack of oxygen. Both TBI and ABI can adversely affect functions like information processing, behavior, memory, reasoning, speech, and motor skills. The educational response for

Educational solutions include content enhancements, visual aids, modified note-taking, and learning strategies.
About ADHD(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It often appears before school age and about half of children with ADHD continue experiencing symptoms into adulthood. Diagnosis involves observing a child's behavior in multiple environments, reports from parents and teachers, interviews, and tests. Potential causes include abnormalities in dopamine levels and the frontal-striatal brain region, as well as environmental factors like stress. Treatment options are drug therapy, behavior therapy, or a combination of the two.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
