Excessive use of gadgets by children can lead to both short-term and long-term health problems. In the short-term, gadget addiction can cause sleep disturbances, social isolation, obesity, and poor concentration. Long-term overuse may result in neurological disorders like autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. Adolescents face increased risks of anxiety, depression, and delayed development due to excessive gadget exposure. Prenatal gadget exposure in children has also been linked to hyperactivity, emotional problems, and difficulty socializing. Younger children are especially vulnerable to radiation damage from gadgets.

People with Down syndrome typically have mild to moderate intellectual disabilities, with an average IQ of around 50. While Down syndrome is not caused by environmental factors or a parent's genetics, it can be identified during pregnancy through screening and testing. Individuals with Down syndrome often require regular health checks as they are at greater risk for health problems and have reduced life expectancy compared to the general population.
Perinatal and postnatal causes of intellectual disabilities chapter 2 pp. 43 63
This document discusses perinatal and postnatal causes of intellectual disabilities. Perinatal causes include prematurity, low birth weight, and complications during labor and delivery. Survival rates for premature babies have increased, but so have rates of developmental disabilities. Postnatal causes include head injuries, infections like meningitis, genetic disorders, seizures, toxic exposures, malnutrition, and environmental deprivation. Many causes can be prevented through efforts like car seats, safe playgrounds, vaccinations, reducing lead exposure, and supportive early environments.
Mental retardation
Mental retardation begins in childhood or adolescence and persists into adulthood. It is defined as having an intellectual functioning level well below average and significant limitations in two or more adaptive skills. The prevalence of mental retardation globally is estimated to be around 30 per thousand, with mild retardation being most common. Down syndrome is one of the most common causes of mental retardation.

Mental retardation pptx.
Mental retardation refers to significantly sub-average intellectual functioning and concurrent impairments in adaptive behaviors that manifest during the developmental period from birth to age 18. It can be caused by genetic factors like chromosomal abnormalities, metabolic disorders, or brain diseases, or environmental factors like infections, trauma, toxins, or socioeconomic conditions. Mental retardation is classified based on IQ scores into mild, moderate, severe, and profound. Signs include delays in meeting developmental milestones, poor cognitive skills, language problems, and lack of self-care abilities. Diagnosis involves assessing development, medical tests for underlying causes, and psychological testing. With improved care, many people with mental retardation can now be mainstreamed.

Intellectual Disabilities .pptx
Dylan was born prematurely at 6 months due to his mother's pre-eclampsia and high maternal age. He exhibited developmental delays and low cognitive functioning. He was misdiagnosed initially and struggled socially and academically. By age 17 he was accurately diagnosed with mild intellectual disability stemming from his preterm birth and lack of early stimulation exacerbated by his mother's post-birth depression. His condition was managed through specialized education and support from family.

Understanding Children's Mental Health: Tourette Syndrome
Tourette Syndrome is a disorder which begins to manifest itself during early childhood. It is a condition that leads the child to have involuntary movements or noises which are commonly known as tics.
A tic has absolutely no purpose or meaning and can be anything from an involuntary blink to the head nodding. Tics are extremely common in children and tend to last less than one year however if the tic lasts longer than this it can lead to Tourette Syndrome.
Understanding Children's Mental Health: Anxiety Disorder
Whilst anxiety is a very human response to both stress and danger, it can become a problem when it is experienced intensely and persistently. Depression and anxiety are interlinked and normally occur together, alongside one another.
Autism Awareness for Social Workers
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects communication and social skills. It is a spectrum disorder, so it affects each person differently. While some with autism can live independently, others require lifelong support. Recent studies estimate that around 1% of the UK population has autism. The exact causes are unknown but genetic and environmental factors are involved. There is no cure for autism but therapies and interventions are available to help with communication, social skills, and managing related conditions like anxiety or ADHD.

Digital Health in India_Health Informatics Trained Manpower _DrDevTaneja_15.0...
Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.

CAPNOGRAPHY and CAPNOMETRY/ ETCO2 .pptx
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.
