Deafness is a major public health issue in Pakistan, with an estimated 9 million people having some form of hearing loss. Of those, 1.25 million are profoundly deaf, though deafness is often ignored, especially in rural areas with limited health resources. While the WHO estimates the national prevalence of disability is 2.49%, with deafness accounting for 7.43% of cases, only 5% of deaf children have access to education. There is a need for Bible study and other programs to serve the estimated 300,000 deaf Christians and religious minorities in Pakistan to help them learn about Jesus.

phenylketoneurea detailed description
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare genetic disorder that prevents the breakdown of the essential amino acid phenylalanine. Left untreated, high phenylalanine levels can lead to intellectual disabilities, seizures, behavioral problems, and other issues. The document discusses the discovery of PKU, the genetics and causes, signs and symptoms, testing methods, and importance of treatment including a lifelong low-protein diet with phenylalanine-free medical food to prevent complications. Pregnancy requires especially strict dietary control to avoid problems in the developing fetus such as intellectual disabilities or birth defects.
FETAL HYDANTOIN SYNDROME final
A baby was born to an epileptic mother who had taken phenytoin until 10 weeks of pregnancy. The baby exhibited multiple congenital anomalies including a short neck, slanted eyes, depressed nasal bridge, and nail and digit hypoplasia. Based on the maternal history and features of the newborn, the baby was diagnosed with fetal hydantoin syndrome. Fetal hydantoin syndrome is characterized by a pattern of abnormalities caused by exposure to hydantoin anti-epileptic drugs in utero. The case report discusses the potential teratogenic effects of hydantoin and importance of counseling women of reproductive age taking anti-epileptics.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition where a child is born with an extra chromosome, usually chromosome 21. This extra genetic material causes delays in physical and cognitive development. Children with Down syndrome often have characteristic facial features and may experience various medical issues. Development is slower in areas such as language, motor skills, and cognitive abilities compared to typically developing children. Early childhood educators need to be aware of these delays and adapt programs, activities, and communication to support the individual needs and abilities of each child with Down syndrome.

Malnutrition is the greatest cause of child death in Ghana, resulting in 28% of children being underweight and 45% of child deaths beyond infancy. A sustainable child and mother health program focused on nutrition and implemented through community involvement could significantly reduce mortality and illness. The Shared Awareness Mother and Child Health Care Program aims to address malnutrition, anemia, and lack of breastfeeding through school health education and support for children, mothers, and rural communities.
On degree college
The document discusses establishing a National Degree College for Physically Handicapped Children in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan has a high population growth rate and disability rate due to factors like poverty, natural disasters, and terrorism. Currently, there is only one national center providing education and rehabilitation for physically handicapped children in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, serving over 200 students. However, given the large population of people with disabilities in Pakistan, including nearly 1 million who are physically handicapped, expanding this center to a degree-granting college would help many more obtain an education and skills to contribute to the national development. Space is available at the existing national center to begin the college while a new building is constructed.

This research proposal aims to study hearing loss among children aged 5-16 years with sickle cell anemia at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital in Zaria, Nigeria. The researcher provides background on sickle cell disease and reviews literature showing the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss among children with sickle cell anemia ranges from 3.8-29% in different parts of Nigeria and other countries. Justification is given for the study as routine hearing screening is not part of care for children with sickle cell anemia in Zaria, and the magnitude of hearing loss among this population is unknown. The proposal describes the methodology to be used including audiological tests and statistical analysis to determine prevalence and risk factors of hearing loss
Growing burden of hearing disability
This document discusses the growing burden of hearing disability in Pakistan. It notes that according to a 1998 census, 9% of Pakistan's population of 140 million is disabled, and 10% have some form of disability according to WHO. Hearing impairment accounts for 9% of disabilities. The document examines causes of increased hearing disability in Pakistan such as late detection, poor service integration, infections, genetic predisposition, prematurity, trauma, birth hypoxia, and toxicity. It describes a retrospective study of 537 hearing impaired patients seen at a national institute, finding most were male, and the majority presented with speech impairment or multiple impairments in addition to hearing loss.

Pakistan has a long history of implementing family planning policies to address its high population growth rate. The earliest policy from the 1960s promoted contraceptive use, with IUDs becoming a main method. Religious opposition emerged in the late 1960s claiming family planning allowed free sex. Current policies aim to reduce fertility rates and increase contraceptive access. However, rural and isolated areas still have high unmet need, partly due to religious misinterpretations. Overall, Pakistan has struggled to effectively promote and deliver family planning services due to cultural and religious challenges.

This document discusses the growing burden of hearing disability in Pakistan and its causes. A retrospective study was conducted analyzing data from 537 hearing impaired patients who visited the National Institute for Handicapped from 1998 to 2000. Late presentation and lack of neonatal screening were found to be the main causes of increasing hearing disability, as many cases were not diagnosed until after age 3. Common causes identified included late detection, consanguinity, otitis media, and lack of immunization. The study concludes that many causes are preventable through early screening, immunization, and treating conditions like otitis media to avoid hearing loss and disability.Evaluation of deaf child

This document outlines a child health screening and early intervention program in India. It discusses the need for such a program to detect four common issues in children: defects at birth, deficiencies, diseases, and developmental delays. The program aims to screen babies, preschoolers, and school-aged children. Mobile health teams will conduct screenings and refer children to District Early Intervention Centers for follow-up care if issues are identified. The roles of ASHAs, mobile health teams, and early intervention centers are described to implement screenings and provide treatment.
cochlear implant paper
1. The document discusses the complex issue of cochlear implants in children, weighing the perspectives of parents, the Deaf culture, ethics, and the child's best interest.
2. Cochlear implants are surgically implanted devices that stimulate the auditory nerve electrically to simulate hearing. They are recommended for children as young as 12 months old to maximize language development benefits, but also carry medical risks.
3. The Deaf culture views deafness as a difference rather than a disability and wants deaf children immersed in their culture. They believe cochlear implants prevent this and threaten their culture's existence by opening children up to the hearing world. Parents and advocates disagree on who can best care for a deaf child.
A proposed vocational center
The document proposes a training center for hearing, speech, and visually impaired persons. It provides background information, noting that persons with disabilities in Asia often face limitations, barriers, and social exclusion. In the Philippines specifically, over 8.7 million people have disabilities, comprising about 10% of the population. The proposal aims to establish an education and training facility to help deaf, mute, and blind persons meet their needs independently.
Mentally Retarded Children and Deficits in Daily Living Skills: Case Study of...
The measurability of the extent at which a child with mental retardation is affected remains one of
the most challenging problems in the field of special education, psychology, sociology, and medicine and of
such a Public Health issue of concern. Mental retardation is a disability characterized by significant limitations
both in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social and practical adaptive
skills. The study area was Calabar Municipality with an area of 331,551 square Kilometers whose estimated
population is 137,165; 70,065 males and 65,098 females. With the view that living an independent life
constitutes a great problem to mentally retarded individuals, investigating the impact of perceived deficits in
daily living skills on the severity of mentally retarded children was set as a goal. Using Language Adaptation
Method (LAM) a structured questionnaire of 25 items was developed and used for data collection among 40
mentally retarded children who were purposively sampled. Data obtained was analyzed and descriptively
presented for clarity purpose. Result reveals that there is a significant relationship between mental retardation
and deficit in daily living skills like; toileting, dressing, feeding, personal hygiene, et al., but as recommended,
they can live a normal life just like other children through effective training, counseling, motivation and close
supervision.
Notes on disability in ethiopia january 2008
The document provides information on disability in Ethiopia. It notes that disability prevalence is estimated at 4.5-7% of the population, with the most common forms being physical, sight, and hearing impairments. Persons with disabilities face significant challenges accessing education, healthcare, rehabilitation services, and employment. The legal framework provides some protections but implementation remains a challenge. Several government and non-government actors work on issues related to disability rights and services in Ethiopia.
Epidemiology of childhood blindness
This document discusses the epidemiology of childhood blindness globally and in developing countries like Nepal. It finds that the most common causes of childhood blindness worldwide are retinopathy of prematurity, cataracts, and corneal opacity. In high-income countries, the leading causes are cerebral visual impairment, optic nerve hypoplasia, and inherited retinal disorders. The document also examines prevalence data and determinants of childhood blindness in different regions of Nepal. Reducing avoidable childhood blindness requires improved eye health education, maternal/neonatal healthcare, and national ophthalmic infrastructure.
Abstract on prevalence of malnutrition
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition among under-five children in the urban slum of Rukamini Nagar, Belgaum City. The study used a cross-sectional design to collect anthropometric measurements and survey data from 365 randomly selected children ages 0-60 months. Nutritional status is a sensitive indicator of community health. Growing children are most vulnerable to the consequences of malnutrition, which is a major public health problem in developing countries. The results of the study on the prevalence of malnutrition in the specified area are forthcoming.
myopia new aioc.pptx
It is estimated that the prevalence of myopia will increase substantially worldwide by 2050, affecting nearly 50% of the global population. Risk factors for increased myopia include higher education levels, urban environments, lack of outdoor time, and a positive family history. Studies have shown that increased outdoor activity may help slow myopia progression in children by around 45% potentially due to increased dopamine release with light exposure. Failure to control high levels of myopia can impact quality of life and economic productivity due to comorbidities like retinal detachment.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
