Torticollis is a twisting of the neck that can have several causes. In newborns, it is often due to injuries during birth or fetal positioning, while in older children it may result from neck injuries, infections, or other conditions. The document discusses the main types and causes of torticollis, including congenital muscular torticollis in newborns, self-limiting torticollis, trauma, infections, tumors, and certain drugs. Ultrasound is often used to diagnose congenital cases in newborns, while CT and MRI are used to diagnose other causes like trauma, infections, or tumors in older children. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include stretching, physical therapy
Hip dysplasia describes a condition where the hip becomes partially or fully dislocated and/or the hip’s ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) are misaligned. The condition primarily affects children but is also commonly diagnosed in adulthood. Treatment options range from simple bracing to extensive surgery and should be determined based on the patient’s age and the severity of their condition.

Bursitis and tendinitis are both common conditions that involve inflammation of the soft tissue around muscles and bones, most often in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle.
A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between a bone and other moving parts: muscles, tendons, or skin. Bursae are found throughout the body. Bursitis occurs when a bursa becomes inflamed (redness and increased fluid in the bursa).
A tendon is a flexible band of fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones. Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon. Tendons transmit the pull of the muscle to the bone to cause movement. They are found throughout the body, including the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Tendons can be small, like those found in the hand, or large, like the Achilles tendon in the heel.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. • Derived from the
Latin: tortus
(twisted) + collis
(neck or collar)
• Torticollis is a
symptom related
to turning or
bending of the
neck.
3. Introduction
• Many different causes are possible.
• In newborns, Torticollis usually results from
injury during labour and delivery or the
infant’s position in the utreus. Less often, it is
caused by birth defects.
• In older children, torticollis may result from
injuries to the neck muscles, common
infections, or other causes.
4. Introduction
• Torticollis refers to a symptom rather than a
distinct disease process
• It can be caused by a wide variety of
conditions which range from relatively simple
self limited to life-threatening
• May be congenital or acquired
• Occurs more frequently in children than in
adults
• The right side is affected in 75% of patients
5. CLINICAL FEATURES
• Abnormal twisting of the neck. Usually, child’s
head is tipped toward one side, with the chin
pointing in the other direction.
• Painful spasms of the neck muscles may occur.
• Other symptoms may be present, depending
on the cause.
• For example, there may be a tender lymph
node (gland) if the cause is infection.
9. Congenital muscular torticollis
• CMT refers to muscular disorders causing
torticollis at birth or shortly after due to
unilateral shortening of the
sternocleidomastoid muscle.
• More common in males and on the right side.
• The affected muscle develops fibrotic changes
which can be associated with a mass
(fibromatosis colli) or without a mass
10. Congenital muscular torticollis
• Presentation is usually during the first 4
weeks of life with torticollis and / or
nontender neck mass.
•Thought to be caused by intrauterine
and perinatal events. Risk factors for CMT
include overcrowding environments
,first-born, oligohydramnios, breech
presentation and difficult delivery.
11. Congenital muscular torticollis
Ultrasound (US) is the imaging modality of
choice for initial investigation.
• There is diffuse or focal enlargement of the
sternocleidomastoid muscle.
• Focal mass is usually hypoechoic and
homogenous (fig 3).
• The mass usually resolve within the first year
of life with conservative treatment.
12. Congenital muscular torticollis
• the condition is treated with physical
therapies, such as stretching to release
tightness, strengthening exercises to improve
muscular balance, and handling to stimulate
symmetry.
• A Collar is sometimes applied.
• About 5–10% of cases fail to respond to
stretching and require surgical release of the
muscle.
14. Acquired torticollis
the most common etiologies
1. self-limiting
2. Trauma,
3. infections
4. inflammatory conditions,
5. central nervous system tumors or lesions
15. 1. self-limiting
• A self-limiting spontaneously occurring
form of torticollis with one or more
painful neck muscles is by far the most
common ('stiff neck') and will pass
spontaneously in 1–4 weeks.
• Usually the sternocleidomastoid muscle or
the trapezius muscle is involved.
• colds or unusual postures are implicated;
however in many cases no clear cause is
found.
16. 2. Trauma
• Occipital condyle fracture and facet dislocation
may present with torticollis
• Atlanto-axial rotatory fixation (AARF) of C2
• Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is a
rare disorder which might manifest with painful
torticollis followed by weakness and sensory
loss and is mostly common at the cervico-
thoracic level
• Subarachnoid hemorrhage
17. Trauma
• CT is the modality of choice in most
trauma cases.
• MRI is indicated in any case of
concern for ligamentous injury or
when there is a neurologic deficit.
18. 3. Infection and inflammation
• Head and neck and spinal column
infections may cause torticollis either
by muscular or ligamentous irritation
or from direct spinal disease.
19. • CNS related
– Meningitis
• Head and Neck related
– Upper respiratory infections
– Otitis media
– Mastoiditis/Bezold’s abscess
– Cervical adenitis
– Retropharyngeal abscess
• Spine related
– Vertebral osteomyelitis and/or discitis
– Epidural abscess
– Rheumatoid arthritis
20. Infection
• Lateral neck X RAY radiograph will show
increased soft tissue thickness anterior to the
C spine in retropharyngeal abscess
• US may show superficial lymphadenitis and
abscess.
• CT is used to visualize the deep neck spaces
and for pre-surgical planning.
• MRI is useful in spinal column infections due
to its increased sensitivity and its ability to
show soft tissue and epidural extension
21.
22. 4. Tumors
• Tumors of the CNS, spine and neck may cause
torticollis
• • CNS tumors are usually in the posterior fossa
or C spine.
• The common presentation of C spine tumor is
pain due to dural irritation.
• Posterior fossa tumors ( CERBELLAR tumor)
may also have signs of increased intracranial
pressure.
23. 4. Tumors
• In any case of insidious development
of torticollis the possibility of a
tumor should be considered.
• MRI is the imaging modality of
choice
24. Other causes
• The use of certain drugs, such as
antipsychotics , Antiemetics ,
Neuroleptic Class and
Phenothiazines , can cause torticollis.
25. Treatment:
• Treatment for torticollis depends on
the cause:
• For newborns with torticollis, gentle
motion of the head and neck is
recommended to stretch the
muscles. Often, a physical therapist is
involved. Toavoid injury, this should
be done only as recommended by a
doctor.
26.
27. For older children with torticollis related
to infection or inflammation, treatment
may include:
Antibiotics for the specific infection.
Rest.
Anti-inflammatory medications (such as
ibuprofen).
Passive motion to keep the muscles from
getting stiff.
Surgery if indicated
28. • If the cause is related to trauma
(even sleeping position) treatments
may include:
• Muscle relaxants - Valium (generic
name: diazepam) and Passive
motion.
• A soft collar or brace to support the
neck.
29.
30. Conclusion
• Torticollis is a clinical sign that might signify
an underlying disorder.
• In newborn infants with CMT, ultrasound is
preferred and often diagnostic.
• In older children CT is used to diagnose
traumatic insult, neck infection and vertebral
anomalies.
• MRI is used to diagnose inflammatory and
infectiouc spinal disorders and in cases in
which CNS or neck malignancy is suspected.
