Mentally Retarded Children and Deficits in Daily Living Skills: Case Study of...iosrjce
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.
Systematic assessment of early symptoms of unspecified dementias in people wi...Premier Publishers
Researchers have shown that individuals with mental retardation or with developmental disabilities are at a greater risk of developing health problems and among others dementia than the general population. As the literature points out, dementia is characterized by progressive loss of cognitive functions, until the individual has lost all independency and ability in daily life. It is therefore necessary to carry out a systematic assessment throughout the developmental phases at the beginning of these signs. The purpose of this paper is to present the importance of systematic assessment of early symptoms of unspecified dementias in people with developmental disabilities. The methodology is based on the pre-dementia analysis of two study cases followed by a 2-year period. In conclusion, it can be argued that the diagnosis of dementia in people with developmental disabilities, in the early stages, has become difficult because of the lack of reliable and standardized criteria and diagnostic procedures and difficulties to investigate cognitive decline versus an already vulnerable developmental disability base. Therefore, in people with developmental disabilities, a diagnosis of dementia needs to be done based on changes in mental status from basic functioning. This helps a clinician to determine an accurate diagnosis in later years as hypothetically results from two case studies with later subcortical dementia. However, this endeavour remains to be discussed widely by mental health specialists, public health and cognitive neuroscience in order to determine whether this contribution provided actually has the power of explanation understandable or is understandable by the part of interest.

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.

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

4. Disabilities
A disability is any condition of the body or
mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult
for the person with the condition to do certain
activities (activity limitation) and interact with
the world around them (participation
restrictions).
5. What are Intellectual Disabilities
o The term Intellectual Disability (ID) is increasingly being used instead of mental retardation.
o According to WHO, ID or mental retardation is defined as “A condition of arrested or
incomplete development of the mind, which is especially characterized by impairment of
skills manifested during the developmental period, which contribute to the overall level of
intelligence, i.e., cognitive, language, motor, and social abilities” (World Health
Organization, WHO, 1992)
o The American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD)
describes “Intellectual Disabilities as characterized by significant limitations both in
intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and
practical adaptive skills”
6. o Every individual who is or was eligible for a diagnosis of mental retardation is eligible for
a diagnosis of Intellectual Disabilities (Schalock et al, 2007).
o According to both the DSM and ICD, 3 basic criteria should be met for a diagnosis of
intellectual disability (or mental retardation):
i. Significantly sub average intellectual functioning (IQ of 70 or below).
ii. Onset is before age 18 years.
iii. Concurrent deficits or impairments in adaptive functioning in at least two of the following
areas: communication, self-care, home living, social/interpersonal skills, use of
community resources, self-direction, functional academic skills, work, leisure, health, and
safety
o The manifestations of ID are mainly developmental delay in intellectual functioning and
deficits in social adaptive functioning. According to the severity of the delay in intellectual
functioning, deficits in social adaptive function and IQ.
7. Types of Intellectual Disabilities
Fragile X Syndrome
Down Syndromes
Developmental Delay
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
Environmental and Other Causes
8.
9.
10.
11. o Intellectual Disabilities Symptoms can be seen in areas like;
i. Speech
ii. Perception
iii. Cognition
iv. Concentration
v. Memory
vi. Emotion
vii. Movement
viii. Behavior
o Although IQ can change to some extend with increasing age, it is a surprisingly
robust construct that is strongly predictive of achievement. IQ has a large inherited
component but environmental factors have a strong effect as well.
13. o The Intellectual Disabled pose a unique challenge toward rehabilitation, as cultural biases
in India shun those with retardation, and jobs are scarce.
o The Indian government in 1977 had reserved jobs for the Disabled but had included only
three categories like locomotor disability, blind and deaf. This continued for about 18
years.
o In 1995, reservation was extended to all categories and the definition of disability now
was expanded to include people with low vision, hearing impaired and leprosy cured. The
number of disabilities had risen to seven.
o It was only in 2016, the government introduced a bill increasing the number of disabilities
from 7 to 21. After enactment in 2017 the government has worked out the specifics in
January 2018. The reservation from 3% has now risen to 4% for jobs for the disabled.
Employment Laws for Intellectual Disable
14. How can Workplaces in India be Inclusive of Employees
with Intellectual Disabilities?
15. Opportunities
o People with ID seldom work in the open labor market and the proportion of people with ID in employment
varies between countries. For example, in Finland, it is 3% of working-age people with ID, in England 5–11%,
and in the USA, 10%
o The prevalence of ID is about 1% of the population, but it differs between countries. In Finland, it is 1%, as in
most European countries. In Finland, 0.8% of working-aged people have ID, which means 25,000 people.
o The nodal ministry of such services in our country is the Ministry of Labor and Employment. The Directorate
General of Employment and Training has 18 vocational rehabilitation centers for persons with disability under
its control, located at different parts of the country.
o District Rehabilitation Center (DRC) Project started in 1985.
o Research shows that there are various jobs available for PWID, such as culinary arts, design, heavy
equipment operation, veterinary assistance. There are special reservations available as well, however
implementation of such jobs sectors is very difficult. There is a lot of stigma and criticism related to it.
16. Challenges
o The major challenge includes understanding the concept of disability and acceptance of Community Bases
Rehabilitation as a valid intervention. Hospital-based rehabilitation services will lead to mystification of
knowledge with social isolation and low efficiency of services which will benefit fewer disabled.
o Prioritization of resources like finance, manpower, and materials will be another important issue to be
considered. Poor planning and management of CBR with lack of intersectoral coordination leads to poor
functioning of the services to disabled.
o Their disability makes learning more difficult than is for a typical learner, but they also face bias and prejudice.
Ex- who should survive (1971) movie, showed a down syndrome infant was allowed death because a surgery
was withheld, leaving a 15 day old baby die of starvation.
o Lack of co-ordination between the government and NGOs, the absence of a coherent community level
strategy, limited competence and capacity of decentralizing services, limited models of good practices are the
other lacunas in the system.
o A lot of stigma around the people with intellectual disabilities.
o Lack of research data available on the topic, makes it difficult to know the reality of the situation.
17. “For people who are not disabled, oftentimes they’re
overwhelmed by too many expectations. For people
with disabilities, they’re not given a fair shake because
people don’t expect enough of them”
Wayne McMillan
