Autism is a disease spectrum comprising 4 disorders manifested by disturbed social, emotional and intellectual abilities of a child. This presentation is a brief description of characteristics , problems and management of of an autistic child.
In his prologue to the Greek edition of Frith’s “Autism: Explaining the Enigma”, the paedopsychiatrist George Karantinos (1999) argues that the child with autism is not at all sly. Karantinos comments this autistic naiveness by adding that children with autism would never play to win.
Similar opinions reveal that our understanding of autism is influenced by social practices, positions, networks and privileges. Characteristically enough, the Greek Curriculum for Autism (Pedagogical Institute, 2003) supposes, with pessimism, that some children with autism will never learn to speak. And recently, Syriopoulou-Delli (2011) contends that the behaviouristic approach remains the dominant treatment of autism, even though behaviourism neglects intellectual problems. On account of such questions, autism and special education appear as complicated and serious political, ideological and social issues, where oversimplifications are absolutely inappropriate.
i was interested in Autism and this semester i find a good opportunity to make a presentation about autism because we are studying a subject called Psychology of Handicap.
I hope you find this presentation useful.

Genetic and Environmental Foundations
Chapter 2
Where do we start? What is inherited from our parents and their ancestors and what role does environment contribute? These are but a few of the questions that this chapter will explore.
1
Heredity
DNA
Chromosomes
Genes
Meiosis
Mitosis
Heredity defines one’s nature – which based on the biological transmission of traits and characteristics from one generation to another. The structures we inherit both make our behaviors possible and places limits on them.
Genetic (inherited) influences are fundamental in the transmission of physical traits, such as height, hair texture, and eye color. Genetics also appears to be a factor in intelligence and in the origins of personality traits such as activity level, sociability, shyness, fearfulness etc. Genetic influences are also implicated in psychological problems and disorders such as anxiety and depression, dependence on nicotine and alcohol etc.
Chromosomes and genes – rod shaped structures found in cells. A normal human cell contains 46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs. Each chromosome contains thousands of segments called genes. Genes carry the biochemical materials that regulate the development of traits. Polygenic – some traits are determined by the combination of pairs of genes.
We begin life as a single cell or zygote. There are 2 types of cell division.
Mitosis – cell division process by which growth occurs and tissues are replaced. Through mitosis, genetic code is carried into new cells in our bodies.
Sperm and ova are produced through meiosis, or reduction division. In meiosis the 46 chromosomes within the cell first line up into 23 pairs. The DNA ladders then unzip, leaving unpaired chromosome halves. As a consequence each new cell only contains 23 chromosomes.
2
Fertilization
Union of egg and sperm
Zygote
Union of egg and sperm - please note sperm with y sex chromosomes seem to swim faster then x one of the reason more boys are conceived then girls. Male fetuses suffer higher rate of spontaneous abortion usually during the first month of pregnancy. Boys also higher rate of infant mortality
The resulting fertilized egg is called a zygote.
3
Male or Female
Autosomes
Twenty-third pair (sex chromosomes)
XX
XY
When a sperm cell fertilizes an ovum we receive 23 from each which combine for the 23 pairs. Twenty-two of the pairs are autosomes – pair that look alike and possess genetic information concerning the same set of traits.
The 23rd pair consists of the sex chromosomes which look different and determine our sex. Males are XY and females are XX
4
Multiple Births
How they occur
Dizygotic twins
Monozygotic twins
Monozygotic or identical twins – one egg fertilized and then the zygote divides into 2.
Dizygotic twins – two eggs fertilized by different sperm.
MZ twins occur with equal frequency in all ethnic groups – but for DZ incidence does vary. European Americans.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
