What is the best evidence for physiotherapy in cheldren with cerebral palsy? ...Teletón Paraguay
Physiotherapy is most effective for children with cerebral palsy when it focuses on function, is directed by child and family goals, and takes place in natural settings like home and community. Interventions should actively engage the child and be grounded in evidence from clinical trials. While cerebral palsy has no cure, physiotherapy principles based on exercise physiology, motor learning, and neuroscience can help improve a child's strength, mobility, and participation through repetitive, task-specific training that facilitates neuroplasticity. The level of a child's cerebral palsy also informs realistic, achievable therapy goals.
Physiotherapy began in Egypt in 1945 under the World Health Organization to train professionals in physical therapy techniques and keep up with advances in the field. In the 1950s, Egypt sent missions abroad to learn more methods after many soldiers suffered burns in the 1956 war that required rehabilitation. In 1992, Cairo University established the first department of physiotherapy in Egypt and the Arab world to train specialists. The department focused on manual therapy like massage and exercises as the foundation of treatment plans for injuries rather than just using modalities like ice, heat, or electrical stimulation.
This document provides an overview of a lecture on professional development and practice in Malaysian healthcare.

The respiratory cycle involves inhalation and exhalation. The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles are the most important respiratory muscles. Accessory muscles that can assist with inhalation include the sternocleidomastoid, serratus anterior, pectoralis minor, and scalene muscles. The abdominal muscles that can assist with exhalation include the external and internal oblique, transversus abdominis, and rectus abdominis muscles. The respiratory minute volume, which is the amount of air moved each minute, is calculated by multiplying the respiratory rate by the tidal volume. Alveolar ventilation is the amount of air reaching the alveoli each minute, which is less than the
Massage has ancient origins and is still used today to treat athletes. There are four basic sports massage techniques that can benefit blood and lymphatic circulation by reducing swelling, increasing lymph flow to nodes, and removing waste products while improving nutrient and oxygen supply. Massage creates a pumping action and improves venous return, which stimulates blood and lymph circulation to better oxygenate tissues and remove metabolic byproducts.
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint formed between the head of the humerus bone and the glenoid fossa of the scapula. It allows for a great range of motion and is stabilized by muscles like the rotator cuff. During tennis, the shoulder undergoes flexion, extension, and adduction motions from swinging the racquet and serving, placing stress on the joint and rotator cuff muscles. Injuries can occur from overuse, so proper form and rest are important.
The shoulder joint is formed by the rounded head of the humerus and the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula. The joint is surrounded by a thin, lax capsule that allows a wide range of movement and is attached medially to the glenoid cavity and laterally to the humerus. Key muscles that act on the shoulder include the deltoid, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major, and coracobrachialis. The shoulder allows for movements like flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and both medial and lateral rotation.
Diuretic renal scans use radioactive tracers like DTPA, MAG3, or LLEC to evaluate kidney function and rule out obstruction. DTPA/MAG3 scans provide information on renal blood flow, GFR, tubular function, and excretion. DMSA scans use Technetium99m to visualize renal cortex and assess renal scarring. Bone scans use Technetium99m HDP to detect bone metastases, tumors, and infections. HIDA scans use Technetium99m Hepatolite to evaluate gallbladder function and detect causes of jaundice like cholecystitis. Lung V/Q scans use radioactive gas and injections to detect perfusion mismatches diagnostic of pulmonary embolism
The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint formed between the humeral head and the shallow glenoid cavity. It is stabilized by ligaments like the coracohumeral and glenohumeral ligaments but also has a loose joint capsule allowing great mobility. Muscles like the deltoid, rotator cuff, and biceps act on the shoulder. Common shoulder issues include dislocations, rotator cuff tears, bursitis, and frozen shoulder with adhesive capsulitis. The shoulder has complex movements including flexion, extension, rotation and circumduction.
Chest physiotherapy involves techniques like turning, postural drainage, chest percussion and vibration, and directed coughing to help clear excess mucus from the lungs. The goals are to move secretions into the central airways using gravity and external chest manipulation so they can be eliminated by coughing or suctioning. This improved clearing of secretions helps maximize ventilation and lung volume. Proper preparation includes ensuring the child is not hungry, doing a respiratory assessment, positioning for drainage, and potentially administering bronchodilators to relax airways. Equipment used includes oxygen, suction, monitors, tissues and pillows. Chest PT is contraindicated for certain injuries or conditions that could be exacerbated by the techniques.
The respiratory system has an upper conducting zone and lower respiratory zone. The upper zone includes the nose, pharynx and larynx, which warm and filter air. The lower zone includes the trachea, bronchi and lungs. The lungs are paired, cone-shaped organs located in the thoracic cavity. They are divided into lobes and lobules which end in alveoli, where gas exchange occurs. Respiration includes pulmonary ventilation which moves air in and out of the lungs, and external/internal respiration which is the exchange of gases between the lungs and blood, and between blood and tissues. Various factors influence ventilation and gas exchange rates, including lung volume and compliance, airway resistance, partial pressures, surface area and diffusion

The document provides an overview of the human respiratory system, including its key functions, organs, and mechanics. The respiratory system functions to exchange gases, purify air, and produce sound. Its organs include the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Within the lungs, gas exchange takes place in tiny air sacs called alveoli. Breathing is driven by the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, pulling air into and pushing air out of the lungs.
The respiratory system allows for oxygen to enter the body and carbon dioxide to exit through a series of major organs. Air enters through the nose or mouth and passes through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and into the lungs where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli. Oxygen then passes into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide passes out of the bloodstream and is exhaled. Breathing is facilitated by the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm and rib cage which expands and contracts the chest cavity to inhale and exhale air.
The human respiratory system consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and alveoli. The nose and nasal cavity warm and filter incoming air. The pharynx and larynx are passageways that lead to the trachea, which divides into the left and right bronchi and further branches into bronchioles and alveoli within the lungs. Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli, where oxygen passes into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide passes out.
The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply blood with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide waste from cells. The respiratory system includes the nasal cavity, mouth, pharynx, trachea, lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, and capillaries. Air enters through the nose or mouth and travels through the pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and into the alveoli where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen passes from the alveoli into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide passes from the bloodstream into the alveoli to be exhaled. Keeping the respiratory system healthy includes avoiding smoking, pollution, and exercising regularly.
Chest physiotherapy involves techniques like percussion, vibration, and postural drainage to mobilize pulmonary secretions in patients who have difficulty coughing them up. It is indicated for conditions involving thick secretions like cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis. The techniques are contraindicated in situations involving bleeding or instability. Assessment involves a physical exam and reviewing medications and imaging before techniques are applied in specific positions targeting different lung lobes and segments to drain secretions into larger airways.
This document discusses various techniques of chest physiotherapy including airway clearance techniques, facilitating effective coughing, and techniques to facilitate ventilation patterns. It describes specific techniques such as postural drainage, percussion, vibration and manual hyperinflation that are used to clear mucus from the lungs. It also discusses mobilization exercises and how treatment is prescribed based on factors like the underlying pathology, oxygen transport capacity, and intensity, duration and frequency of sessions. Contraindications and precautions for different techniques are provided.
Oncology is the study and treatment of cancer. It involves diagnosing cancer through medical history, tests, and biopsies. Therapies include surgery to remove tumors, chemotherapy and radiation to treat cancer directly, and hormone or monoclonal antibody treatments. Palliative care aims to relieve symptoms for terminal patients and improve quality of life. Ethical issues around communicating with patients and clinical trials must also be considered. Research continues across all areas of cancer treatment and care.
Pediatric surgery involves the surgery of fetuses, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. It became a subspecialty of surgery in the 20th century focusing on the surgical care of birth defects. Subspecialties include neonatal surgery and fetal surgery. Surgery treats pediatric diseases like vascular disorders, otolaryngology diseases, rhinosinusitis, urology diseases, and more. Organ transplants are also common but donor availability is limited.

The document discusses several common gastrointestinal procedures and conditions:
1) Gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulcer disease, delayed gastric emptying, gastric cancer, enterocutaneous fistulas, and acute abdominal pain are among the most common reasons for gastrointestinal procedures.
2) Acute appendicitis requires surgical removal of the inflamed appendix, either through laparoscopy or laparotomy.
3) Gastric bypass surgery reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes part of the small intestine to help with weight loss. Risks include infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia.
Cardiovascular surgery is a medical specialty that uses surgical techniques to treat cardiac pathologies that cannot be addressed with drugs or minor procedures. The goal is typically to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life, rather than achieve a complete resolution, through techniques like bypass surgery and heart valve repair/replacement. Bypass surgery involves using veins or arteries to create a vascular bridge around a blocked artery and restore blood flow. Valve surgery repairs or replaces diseased valves to improve blood flow through the heart. Heart transplantation may be recommended to treat severe angina, heart failure, congenital heart defects, or potentially fatal heart rhythm issues, but is not advised for patients over 60, with certain medical issues, or who smoke or use drugs.
