Learning Disability
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like557 views
Learning disabilities can be caused by factors that affect brain development before or shortly after birth, such as the mother becoming ill during pregnancy, problems during birth like lack of oxygen, or genetic factors. Specific conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, and epilepsy are also associated with higher rates of learning disabilities. Profound multiple learning disabilities involve more than one disability where the most significant is a learning disability, and often co-occur with physical, sensory, health or mental challenges requiring full-time care.

Celebral Palsy
Celebral Palsysangita_chosencaregroup Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain either during development before birth or shortly after and results in impaired movement and posture. It is considered a non-progressive, permanent condition but is generally non-life threatening. While incurable, treatment and therapy can help manage symptoms and maximize independence. The majority of cases are not caused during birth but from abnormalities earlier in development.
Epilepsy Awareness
Epilepsy Awarenesssangita_chosencaregroup Risk factors for epilepsy include family history, head injuries, strokes, brain infections in childhood, and increasing age. Complications of epilepsy include falling during seizures, drowning, car accidents, pregnancy risks for both mother and baby, and increased likelihood of psychological issues like depression. Managing epilepsy involves identifying and reducing risk factors, making lifestyle changes, and working closely with doctors on medication and safety during activities like driving, swimming, and pregnancy.
Celebral Palsy
Celebral Palsysangita_chosencaregroup This document discusses the signs and symptoms of cerebral palsy. It notes that signs are clinical effects that a doctor can observe through exams and tests, while symptoms are effects the child feels. Signs and symptoms vary between individuals and can include developmental delays, abnormal muscle tone, impaired motor skills and coordination, poor posture, and associative conditions like seizures. Many signs and symptoms may not appear until ages 3 to 5 as the brain develops, but early signs can include delays in milestones like sitting, crawling and walking.
Epilepsy Awareness
Epilepsy Awarenesssangita_chosencaregroup The document discusses how epilepsy is diagnosed and treated. For diagnosis, it is important for doctors to get a clear description of seizures from both patients and witnesses. Tests like brain scans, EEGs, and bloodwork can help diagnose epilepsy but may be normal. A diagnosis usually requires more than one seizure. Treatments include daily anti-seizure medications to stabilize brain activity, though epilepsy cannot be cured. Medication choice depends on seizure type, age, and other factors. Most people's seizures are controlled with one medication, though some require two.
Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s diseaseClaimaie Alzheimer's disease is a slow, fatal brain disease that starts due to abnormal protein fragments killing brain cells. It is the most common form of dementia, affecting 1 in 10 people over 60, most often women. People live an average of 8 years after symptoms appear. The brain shrinks dramatically over time, affecting all its functions. Eventually the part of the brain regulating breathing and heart is destroyed, leading to death. The disease progresses through mild, moderate, and severe stages that are characterized by worsening memory loss and cognitive impairment. Diagnosis involves medical tests and brain imaging, while current treatments focus on symptoms. Research continues worldwide to better understand and diagnose this disease.
Epilepsy Myths & Misconceptions

It is used for patients unable to eat for a prolonged period. A gastrostomy is created through the skin and stomach using the endoscope to guide placement of the feeding tube. PEG is performed to provide nutrition to patients who cannot swallow food and is done by physicians like surgeons, ENT specialists, radiologists or gastroenterologists, often in outpatient settings. It has advantages over surgical gastrostomy in taking less time, carrying less risk and costing less.

Stroke Awareness
Stroke Awarenesssangita_chosencaregroup There are two main types of stroke: ischaemic and haemorrhagic. Ischaemic strokes are caused by blockages in arteries supplying the brain, usually from blood clots or fatty deposits. Haemorrhagic strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, usually due to high blood pressure. Key tests to determine the type of stroke include brain scans such as CT or MRI scans, and ultrasounds of the neck arteries. The type of stroke determines the appropriate treatment.
Stroke Awareness
Stroke Awarenesssangita_chosencaregroup Most strokes are caused by damaged arteries that carry blood to the brain. Arteries can become hardened, narrowed, or weakened over time from conditions like high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. The location and severity of reduced blood flow in the brain determines the symptoms, as different areas of the brain control different body functions.

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF FIRST AID.pptx
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF FIRST AID.pptxMesioValentine First Aid is defined as the skilled assistance given to a suddenly ill or injured person before professional help is accessed.
more recently, first aid is defined as “helping behaviors and initial care provided for an acute illness or injury.
it is concerned not only with physical injury or illness but also with other initial care, including psychosocial support for people suffering emotional distress from experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. – IFRC 2016 resuscitation guidelines.
Experts have identified the following four (4) aims for First Aid practice and they are usually referred to as the 4 p’s of First Aid :
To Preserve Or Save Life
To Prevent Worsening of the Condition
To Provide Psychosocial
To Promote Recovery Support/Alleviate Suffering
A First Aid Provider is defined as someone trained in first aid who should recognize, assess and prioritize the need for first aid.
The first aid provider offers care using appropriate competencies, recognizes limitations and seeks additional care when needed.
IFRC international First Aid, resuscitation, and education guidelines 2020.
On a general note, some workplace may seem very safe and healthy. this is not true because many workplaces are very hazardous and expose employees to things that can injure them or make them suddenly ill. according to the international labor organization (ILO), “some 2.3 million women and men around the world succumb to work-related accidents or diseases every year; this corresponds to over 6000 deaths every single day. worldwide, there are around 340 • • million occupational accidents and 160 million victims of work-related illnesses annually”.
Many life threatening medical emergencies can degenerate very quickly. Instant First Aid reduces recovery time. For example, if bleeding is not swiftly stopped, it can degenerate into the casualty experiencing shock as a result of excessive loss of blood. this is why having a trained first aid provider on ground at work and elsewhere is very important.
When you give First Aid, it is important to protect yourself (and the casualty) from infection as well as injury.
Take steps to avoid cross-contamination—transmitting germs or infection to a casualty or contracting infection from a casualty. remember, infection is a risk even with relatively minor injuries.
it is a particular concern if you are treating a wound, because blood-borne viruses, such as hepatitis b or c and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), may be transmitted by contact with blood. In practice, the risk is low and should not deter you from carrying out first aid.
The risk increases if an infected person’s blood makes contact with yours through a cut or scrape.
usually, taking measures such as washing your hands and wearing disposable gloves will provide sufficient protection for you and the casualty.
There is no known evidence of these blood-borne viruses being transmitted during resuscitation.

How Caffeine Affects Blood Sugar: Its Influence on Glucose Levels, Insulin Se...Dr. Mayank Somani Caffeine, a widely consumed stimulant found in coffee, tea, and energy drinks, has significant effects on the body, particularly on blood sugar regulation. Understanding how caffeine interacts with glucose metabolism is essential, especially for individuals managing diabetes. Caffeine can impact blood sugar levels by reducing insulin sensitivity, making it harder for cells to absorb glucose efficiently. It also triggers stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can lead to temporary spikes in blood sugar. Additionally, caffeine affects sleep quality, and poor sleep is linked to impaired blood sugar control. It can also influence appetite, sometimes reducing hunger or triggering cravings for high-carb foods. However, caffeine has potential benefits, including antioxidants and metabolism-boosting properties, which may help in diabetes management when consumed in moderation. Striking a balance is key—while caffeine can have both positive and negative effects on blood sugar, monitoring intake and consulting a diabetologist, such as Dr. Mayank Somani, can help individuals make informed decisions about their caffeine consumption.

Learning Disability
- 1. Causes of learning Disability
- 2. What causes learning disabilities? A learning disability happens when a person's brain development is affected, either before they are born, during their birth or in early childhood.
- 3. What causes learning disabilities? Several factors can affect brain development, including: The mother becoming ill in pregnancy Problems during the birth that stop enough oxygen getting to the brain The unborn baby developing certain genes The parents passing certain genes to the unborn baby that make having a learning disability more likely (known as inherited learning disability) Illness, such as meningitis, or injury in early childhood
- 4. What causes learning disabilities? Sometimes there is no known cause for a learning disability. Some conditions are associated with having a learning disability, such as cerebral palsy. This is because people with these conditions are more likely to have one. Everyone with Down's syndrome, for example, has some kind of learning disability, and so do many people with cerebral palsy. People with autism may also have learning disabilities, and around 30% of people with epilepsy have a learning disability.
- 5. What causes learning disabilities? Profound and multiple learning disability (PMLD) A diagnosis of a profound and multiple learning disability (PMLD) is used when a child has more than one disability, with the most significant being a learning disability.
- 6. What causes learning disabilities? Many children diagnosed with PMLD will also have a sensory or physical disability, complex health needs, or mental health difficulties. People with PMLD need a carer or carers to help them with most areas of everyday life, such as eating, washing and going to the toilet. If you are looking after a child or adult with PMLD, you can find help and support in Care and support.
