Radiology plays an important role in diagnosing brain and spinal cord pathologies in children through various imaging techniques. Early diagnosis is key to treating issues in children's brains. There are three main neuroimaging methods - neurosonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Sonography is a non-invasive way to evaluate the brain through fontanelles in infants, but has limitations. CT scans are also non-invasive and useful for detecting aneurysms and calcifications. MRI provides the best anatomical images and differentiation of structures, and can also perform spectroscopy to examine biochemical changes in tumors. Various contrast-based techniques like angiography can also evaluate the brain's vasculature in children.

Medicinal images assume an important part in the diagnosis of tumors as well as Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Similarly, MRI could be the cutting-edge regenerative imaging technology that allows for a sectional angle perspective of the body that gives specialists convenience and will inspect the person-concerned. In this paper, the author has attempted the strategy to classify MRI images at the beginning of production to have a tumor or recognition. The study aims to address the aforementioned problems associated with brain cancer with a CSF leak. This research, the author focuses on brain tumor and applies the statistical model for the testing and also discusses the images of a brain tumor. They can judge the tumor region by conducting a comparative image analysis and applying Histogram function afterwards to construct a classifier that could be prepared to predict tumor and non-tumor MRI examinees based on the support vector machine. Our system is capable of detecting the right region that a pathologist also highlights. In the future, this should be more driven with the objective that tumors can be arranged and describe the solution in the medical terms & implementation with gives some predictions about the future generated by modified technology.

Enhanced 3D Brain Tumor Segmentation Using Assorted Precision TrainingBIJIAM Journal
A brain tumor is a medical disorder faced by individuals of all demographics. Medically, it is described as the spread of nonessential cells close to or throughout the brain. Symptoms of this ailment include headaches, seizures, and sensory changes. This research explores two main categories of brain tumors: benign and malignant. Benign spreads steadily, and malignant express growth makes it dangerous. Early identification of brain tumors is a crucial factor for the survival of patients. This research provides a state-of-the-art approach to the early identification of tumors within the brain. We implemented the SegResNet architecture, a widely adopted architecture for threedimensional segmentation, and trained it using the automatic multi-precision method. We incorporated the dice loss function and dice metric for evaluating the model. We got a dice score of 0.84. For the tumor core, we got a dice score of 0.84; for the whole tumor, 0.90; and for the enhanced tumor, we got a score of 0.79.

included examples of normal and abnormal.
when to do what imaging
A malignant tumor, also called brain cancer, grows rapidly and often invades or crowds healthy areas of the brain. Brain tumors can affect white matter fibers by either infiltrating or displacing the tissue. When the myelin sheath is damaged or disappears, the conduction of impulses along nerve fibers slows down or fails completely. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a relatively new imaging technique that can be used to evaluate white matter in the brain. DTI has diagnostic implications by being able to pinpoint areas where normal water flow is disrupted, providing valuable information about the location of specific lesions. Edema, infiltration and destruction of white matter reduces the anisotropic nature of the white matter. The paper aims to segment tumor from the healthy brain tissues in Diffusion Tensor brain tumor images using Fuzzy C-Means clustering.
Tumor Detection Based On Symmetry InformationIJERA Editor
Various subjects that are paired usually are not identically the same, asymmetry is perfectly normal but sometimes asymmetry can benoticeable too much. Structural and functional asymmetry in the human brain and nervous system is reviewed in a historical perspective. Brainasymmetry is one of such examples, which is a difference in size or shape, or both. Asymmetry analysis of brain has great importance because itis not only indicator for brain cancer but also predict future potential risk for the same. In our work, we have concentrated to segment theanatomical regions of brain, isolate the two halves of brain and to investigate each half for the presence of asymmetry of anatomical regions inMRI.

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 apic.org,
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.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
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

As we watch Dr. Greene's continued efforts and research in Arizona, it's clear that stem cell therapy holds a promising key to unlocking new doors in the treatment of kidney disease. With each study and trial, we step closer to a world where kidney disease is no longer a life sentence but a treatable condition, thanks to pioneers like Dr. David Greene.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

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.

3. Radiodiagnostics plays an important role in
diagnosis of different kinds of pathology
related to brain and spinal cord in childrens as
well as adults so that the treatment and
prognosis can be better.
Early diagnosis is important in childrens so that
any pathology can be treated related to brain.
4. Neuroimaging methods in children are broadly
classified into three main groups taking into
the consideration the childs body ,tissue
architecture.
1.Neurosonography
2.Computed tomography
3.Magnetic resonance imaging
5. Sonography is one of the safest non invasive
technique use to evaluate different pathologies
Neurosonography in childrens is used for the
diagnosis of acoustic window or a large
fontanelle and also for immature sulcation
For other pathologies the NSG could not provide
the sufficient information

8. CT scan is a non invasive technique commonly
used to evaluate different number of
pathologies in brain of a child.it is best used to
diagnose any kinds of aneuryms,intracranial
calcifications in a child
It is important to use sedation during this
procedure in infants.

14. A number of magnetic resosnance varients
with good diagnostic capabilty are also used in
pediatric neuroradiodiagnosis and they
include:
Magnetic resonance perfusion MRI
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy:it checks
different biochemical changes of brain which
are then measured on a graphy known as
spectra eg in case of many tumors like glioma
etc
15.
16. Angiography can be also done to evaluate the
vascular malformormations in children.
This is usually a contrast based technique to
detect the normal and abnormal vascular
patterns in brain of a child.
17. PET scan(positron emission technique) and
SPECT(single photon emission computed
tomography) are not commonly used in the
children for neurodiagnosis.
18. There is no such guidlines for the
neuroradiodiagnosis of children which needs
to be conisdered during procedure.
