A child named Zenna was diagnosed with epilepsy. Zenna's mom is pregnant and was told to take bed rest due to the risk of premature birth. Zenna's mom needs resources to help care for Zenna and support from family. Zenna needs attention for her needs and close monitoring in case of seizures. Families of children with epilepsy can access support from organizations like Epilepsy Canada, Epilepsy Toronto, and SickKids Epilepsy Classroom.
Athletes (and non athletes as well) are increasingly reporting concussions to parents, coaches, and school nurses. How can you recognize a concussion? We will review the diagnosis and treatments for concussions, review dangers of multiple concussions and discuss the use of computerized neuropsychological testing prior to “return to play”.
Speech Therapy Considerations with Angelman SyndromeRita Molino
Presentation to SLP Grad students and University of Buffalo. The two foundational beliefs: ALWAYS PRESUME COMPETENCE AND INTELLIGENCE IS NOT ONE DIMENSIONAL
All children misbehave at some stage of their lives. Very often it is minor, as they push the boundaries of what is acceptable, and they usually drop back into being well-adjusted as quickly as they fell out of it.
But problems can persist and can become entrenched if something isn’t done to tackle them. Dealing with a naughty child requires a fine line of making sure that your chastisement is reasonable and proportionate, while ensuring it has the desired effect.
Behavioral Problems in Children is a new book which is designed to help you deal with a naughty child successfully, before they get out of control. In 6 parts it examines issues such as;
• Behavioral problems in toddlers
• Common problems and how to deal with them
• Reasons for bad behavior
• Solutions
• Dealing with conduct disorder
• Tips and strategies
We all want our children to lead happy and secure lives, but we also want to be able to take them out in public, to a restaurant, or even to the supermarket, without running the risk of an embarrassing tantrum.
Behavioral Problems in Children will help you to achieve that end, by getting to the root of the issues and solving them before they can take hold of your child’s personality. Get a copy today and see the difference it will make to your child’s behavior.

Case Report - Fetal Alcohol Exposure Carl C Bell* Psychiatry and Public Healt...BARRY STANLEY 2 fasd
This case report highlights a clinical case of a child who
was exposed to alcohol as a fetus, and, who as a result,
developed learning and behavioral problems. For the past
45 years of practicing psychiatry the author has been
seeing children who are usually referred from the school
system for having problems learning and difficulty
controlling their bad tempers. After years of attributing
this behavior to various common psychological etiologies,
e.g., having a male role model with a bad temper or being
exposed to childhood violence, the author has come to
understand while psychological etiologies remain
important, the etiology of this constellation of symptoms
may more likely due to an acquired biological cause. This
case history highlights this new found understanding.
Additionally, the intriguing etiology of the behavior seen
in the presented case suggests that by knowing the
etiologic cause of this common constellation of
symptoms, it may be possible to use bio-technical
strategies to ameliorate the problematic behaviors.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

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

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. A child who is diagnosed with epilepsy
Her mom is pregnant
After Zenna’s mom was told that her
daughter has epilepsy, she cried,and her
doctor told her to take bed rest due to her
pregnancy and is at risk of giving birth to her
unborn child prematurely.
3. MOM:
Resources to help Zenna’s mom about
epilepsy and what she can do to help her
child.
Support from people around her (extended
families)
Zenna:
Attention for her needs
Not to feel unwanted or left out by people
around her
A close watch on her or alertness just in case
of a seizure(s) were to occur.
4. Epilepsy has been around from as far as 2000
BC
It has been called as a sacred disease because
of the belief that people who are suffering
from epilepsy are being “seized” by gods
People from back in the ancient times thought
it could be treated with diets and medications
or drugs.
It also has been mention in the holy bible
According to the ancient Ayurvedic medical
system of India, they describe Epilepsy as
physical disorder.
5. According to this website,
http://www.epilepsy.com/what-is-
epilepsy Epilepsy is, a
neurological condition, which
affects the nervous system.
Epilepsy is also known as a
seizure disorder. It is usually
diagnosed after a person has had
at least two seizures that were
not caused by some known
medical condition like alcohol
withdrawal, extremely low blood
sugar, heart problems or some
other medical condition.
6. Anxiety,
Weakness
Staring
Purposeless or Repetitive Movements
Loss of Consciousness
Contraction, or Jerking, of Body Muscles
* Depending on the type of seizure a
child, person have experience the symptoms
may vary.
8. There are three types of Epilepsy:
1. Idiopathic Epilepsy: There isn’t really a cause
compare to the other types. But it may have
something to do in the cellular level. This type runs
in family, in other words it has relation into
genetics. However this seizure can be outgrown.
2. Symptomatic epilepsy: between 25-45% of epilepsy
are most likely symptomatic. Unlike Idiopathic,
symptomatic is cause by structural abnormalities,
damage in the brain and underlying diseases such as
stroke or injury/trauma.
3. Cryptogenic epilepsy: The cause of cryptogenic is
hidden. It is not obvious to see. Thought of the
cause is brain lesion.
9. According to the About Kids Health website there are
about 10 types of seizures.
1. Absence Seizures: They may be unresponsive for a
short amount of and it can occur many time
throughout the day. There is typical or atypical. In
the typical absence seizures the child her eyes will
roll up. She/he will not response when someone is
talking to her or him. The seizure last about 10
seconds. In Atypical absence seizure it is harder to
tell, the child may just stare for a long time. It last
about 5-10 seconds. The child mostly likely to
become confused after a seizure has occurred.
10. 2. Tonic, Clonic, and Tonic-Clonic Seizures: This type of
seizure is recognized dating back in 700 BC in the
Egyptian hieroglyphic. Tonic seizure is when the
muscles starts to stiffen and become thickened or
shortened. Clonic seizures the muscle starts to twitch
or starts to have spasm. It move involuntarily. Tonic-
clonic seizures is a mixture of the tonic and clonic
which are involuntarily muscle movement and the
stiffening and contracting of muscles.
3. Myoclonic Seizures: It is a quick, short, shock-like
contraction in his/her muscle. It often occur within the
first year.
4. Atonic Seizures: This type of seizure occur in all ages
but more often in children. this type of seizure is when
the muscle loses its stability. the child may become
wobbly and weak therefore making the child fall on
the floor.
11. 5. Simple partial: According to the About Kids Health
website, depending on which are in the brain is
affected, Simple partial seizure are in many;
motor seizures- change in muscle activity (such as
jerking or twitching)
sensory seizures, involving a change in sensation
(such as tingling, numbness, or prickling in a body
part, or seeing or hearing things that are not there)
autonomic seizures, involving a change in the
autonomic functions of the body (the child may
blush, sweat, or feel nausea or a “rising” sensation in
her stomach)
psychic seizures, involving a change in
thinking, feeling or experience (such as déjà vu)
12. 6. Complex Partial Seizures: Complex partial
seizures affects a part of the brain then starts to
start affect the other parts. Depending on what
part of the brain is affected, the symptoms may
vary. But complex partial seizures the child is will
seem like he or she is aware of his or her
surrounding but may not actually know what is
happening.
7. Status Epilepticus: Status epilepticus is when a
seizure occurs for a long period of time or one
seizure after the other leaving no time for one to
recover from the previous seizure. In the course
of time, this type of seizure can cause brain
damage. It can also affect the organ functions
and unfortunately death.
13. 8. Neonatal Seizures: This type of seizure is a
seizure that occurs in babies about 28 days old or
less. Babies who have this type of seizure may not
exactly have Epilepsy when they grown however
they have a greater chance of developing
epilepsy.
9. Provoked Seizures: This type of seizure may
likely be experience because of a head injury,
infections, high fever, lost of oxygen in the brain.
It most likely will not happen again.
10. Febrile Seizures: Common in child of age range
from 3 month to 5 years of age. Just like provoke
seizures, this type of seizure occurs when a child
has a high fever. It then disappear by itself.
14. EEG TEST
When diagnosing a seizure or
Epilepsy, because seizure are
less like to occur when doctor
are present, the information
given to the doctor must be
accurate in order to define
they type of Epilepsy and or
seizure so that appropriate
medication and treatment can CT scan
be given to child or person.
The doctor may ask for any
medical history of the child, or
person, then he will have to
some blood tests, EEG tests,
and brain imaging tests such as
CT and MRI scans. This may be
repeated for better diagnosis.
15. Who to go to?
•When someone has an
episode, they should go to the
family doctor for testing. A
series of different testing will
be taken to see if there are
any abnormalities in the brain
and then the doctor may refer
the family to a specialist for
example a neurologist. A
neurologist specializes in
disorder of the brain, in which
epilepsy is included.
16. There are many ways of treatment
for Epilepsy, one is by medication.
In most cases, this would be the
first choice for most people but if
the medication or drug isn’t as
effective for the patient then the
doctor will provide more
medication for the child or whom
ever has. Medication usually help
the patient. However, if medication
helping the child or patient then
they may need to do other
treatment such as, surgery or
ketogenic diet or bagus nerve
stimulation. Discuss with the child,
the doctor to help decide which
treatment would be best.
17. Finding out that your child is diagnosed with
epilepsy can devastating, many will feel sad,
angry, worry and leaving you with questions
as to why? why my child? what did I do
wrong? Should I tell my child, is she/he old
enough to know?
When disclosing to a child, the information
you wish to share will depend on the age of
your child, is she/he old enough to
understand, and personality.
18. In daycare setting, a child with epilepsy will
need to be watch very carefully because he or
she might have an episode or series of episode
while they are in the daycare.
Having the child with epilepsy climb or to go on
the slide may not be a good idea because they
may have a seizure while climbing and therefore
will fall.
Some parents may worry about their child being
in danger. For example playing with other
children, catching ball, but a child shouldn’t not
forbidden to play and be active just because
they have epilepsy but they will need very good
supervision, alertness.
19. A child with epilepsy may have difficulty in school setting she or
he may have learning disabilities because of seizures that she had
or it could be an affect of his or her medication.
They may have difficulty in academic performance like math or
reading. He or she may have language delay. He or she may not
progress as fast as other children.
20. Play
I would use the simplifying strategy from the ConnectABILITY-
Adaptive Play Materials Workshop. It would help the child so that he
or she may not be overwhelmed with the materials that is being use
for example using 4 piece puzzle rather than 9 pieces. And when the
child is progressed on that level then I could try a higher level
21. Reading
Strategy I could use is labeling. I would label
object around the classroom and say them
out loud. I could also invite other children to
join and say it. It would help if I its done
repeatedly.
22. Learning new skills
Strategy I would use is
prompting and fading. It
would allow the child to
slowly learn a new skill.
it will also allow me to
learn about where the
child level is at.
23. Day to Day activities
A strategy I could do for the child with epilepsy in my classroom
is asking parents and communicating with parents what works and
what doesn’t work when they are at home. Because parents are
the ones who know their child really well, their capabilities,
strength , weakness. I could tell them strategies I use in the
classroom and try it in their homes
24. Routines
providing extra time, accommodation to
activities that is developmentally
appropriate base on the ages and stages,
follow through. Creating buddy system,
encourage other children to include one
another
