IMPORTANCE OF POLIO VACCINE

Five Important Reasons to Vaccinate for Child

You want to do what is best for your children. You know about the importance of car seats, baby gates and other ways to keep them safe. But, did you know that one of the best ways to protect your children is to make sure they have all of their vaccinations.

Immunizations can save your child’s life:

Because of advances in medical science, your child can be protected against more diseases than ever before. Some diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children, have been eliminated completely and others are close to extinction– primarily due to safe and effective vaccines. Polio is one example of the great impact that vaccines. Polio was, causing death and paralysis across the country, but today, thanks to vaccination, there are no reports of polio in India.

Vaccination is very safe and effective:

Vaccines are only given to children after a long and careful review by scientists, doctors, and healthcare professionals. Vaccines will involve some discomfort and may cause pain, redness, or tenderness at the site of injection but this is minimal compared to the pain, discomfort, and trauma of the diseases these vaccines prevent. Serious side effects following vaccination, such as severe allergic reaction, are very rare. The disease-prevention benefits of getting vaccines are much greater than the possible side effects for almost all children.

Immunization protects others you care about :

Children in the India still get vaccine-preventable diseases. In fact, we have seen resurgences of measles and whooping cough (pertussis) over the past few years. Since 2010, there have been between 10,000 and 50,000 cases of whooping cough each year in the and about 10 to 20 babies, many of which were too young to be fully vaccinated, died each year. While some babies are too young to be protected by vaccination, others may not be able to receive certain vaccinations due to severe allergies, weakened immune systems from conditions like leukemia, or other reasons. To help keep them safe, it is important that you and your children who are able to get vaccinated are fully immunized. This not only protects your family, but also helps prevent the spread of these diseases to your friends and loved ones.

Immunizations can save your family time and money:

A child with a vaccine-preventable disease can be denied attendance at schools or child care facilities. Some vaccine-preventable diseases can result in prolonged disabilities and can take a financial toll because of lost time at work, medical bills or long-term disability care. In contrast, getting vaccinated against these diseases is a good investment and usually covered by insurance. The Vaccines for Children program is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children from low-income families.

Immunization protects future generations:

Vaccines have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated many diseases that killed or severely disabled people just a few generations ago. For example, smallpox vaccination eradicated that disease worldwide. Your children don’t have to get smallpox shots any more because the disease no longer exists. By vaccinating children against rubella (German measles), the risk that pregnant women will pass this virus on to their fetus or newborn has been dramatically decreased, and birth defects associated with that virus no longer are seen in the India. If we continue vaccinating now, and vaccinating completely, parents in the future may be able to trust that some diseases of today will no longer be around to harm their children in the future.

Don’t ignore POLIO VACCINE

BRONCHIECTASIS

INTRODUCTION: Bronchiectasis means abnormal dilatation of the bronchi due to chronic airway inflammation and infection. It is usually acquired, but may result from an underlying genetic or congenital defect of airway defences. CAUSES: Congenital • Cystic fibrosis • Primary ciliary dyskinesia • Kartagener’s syndrome (sinusitis and transposition of the viscera) • Primary hypogammaglobulinaemia Acquired • Pneumonia (complicating whooping cough or measles) • Inhaled foreign body • Suppurative pneumonia • Pulmonary TB • Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis complicating asthma • Bronchial tumours CLINICAL FEATURES: ● Chronic cough productive of purulent sputum. ● Pleuritic pain. ● Haemoptysis. ● Halitosis. Acute exacerbations may cause fever and increase these symptoms. Examination reveals coarse crackles caused by sputum in bronchiectatic spaces. Diminished breath sounds may indicate lobar collapse. Bronchial breathing due to scarring may be heard in advanced disease. INVESTIG...

CARDIAC REHABILITATION

Introduction “Cardiac Rehabilitation is the process by which patients with cardiac disease, in partnership with a multidisciplinary team of health professionals are encouraged to support and achieve and maintain optimal physical and psychosocial health. The involvement of partners, other family members and carers is also important”. Cardiac rehabilitation is an accepted form of management for people with cardiac disease. Initially, rehabilitation was offered mainly to people recovering from a myocardial infraction (MI), but now encompasses a wide range of cardiac problems. To achieve the goals of cardiac rehabilitation a multidisciplinary team approach is required. The multidisciplinary team members include: Cardiologist/Physician and co-coordinator to lead cardiac rehabilitation Clinical Nurse Specialist Physiotherapist Clinical nutritionist/Dietitian Occupational Therapist Pharmacist Psychologist Smoking cessation counsellor/nurse Social worker Vocational counsellor Clerical Ad...

CARDIAC ARREST AND RESUSCITATION

INTRODUCTION: The leading causes of sudden death before old age, in people over the age of 44, are ventricular fibrillation from asymptomatic ischaemic heart disease or non-traumatic accidents such as drowning and poisoning. In people under the age of 38, the commonest causes are traumatic, due to accident or violence. In such instances death may be prevented if airway obstruction can be reversed, apnoea or hypoventilation avoided, blood loss prevented or corrected and the person not allowed to be pulseless or hypoxic for more than 2 or 3 minutes. If, however, there is circulatory arrest for more than a few minutes, or if blood loss or severe hypoxia remain uncorrected, irreversible brain damage may result. Immediate resuscitation is capable of preventing death and brain damage. The techniques required may be used anywhere, with or without equipment, and by anyone, from the lay public to medical specialists, provided they have been appropriately trained. Resuscitation may be divided in...

RELAXED POSITIONS FOR BREATHLESS PATIENTS

Relaxation positions for the breathless patient If patients can be taught how to control their breathing during an attack of dyspnoea, this can be of great benefit to them. The patient should be put into a relaxed position, and encouraged to do ‘diaphragmatic’ breathing at his own rate. The rate of breathing does not matter at this stage; it is the pattern of breathing that is important. As the patient gains control of his breathing he should be encouraged to slow down his respiratory rate. Any of the following positions will assist relaxation of the upper chest while encouraging controlled diaphragmatic breathing. They can be adapted to various situations in everyday life. HIGH SIDE LYING Five or six pillows are used to raise the patient’s shoulders while lying on his side. One pillow should be placed between the waist and axilla, to keep the spine straight and prevent slipping down the bed. The top pillow must be above the shoulders, so that only the head and neck are supp...

PARKINSON'S DISEASE

Parkinson's EtiologyParkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that mostly presents in later life with generalized slowing of movements (bradykinesia) and at least one other symptom of resting tremor or rigidity. Other associated features are a loss of smell, sleep dysfunction, mood disorders, excess salivation, constipation, and excessive periodic limb movements in sleep (REM behavior disorder). PD is a disorder of the basal ganglia, which is composed of many other nuclei. The striatum receives excitatory and inhibitory input from several parts of the cortex. The key pathology is the loss of dopaminergic neurons that lead to the symptom . It is the seconds most common neuro-degenerative condition in the world after Alzheimer's. The condition is caused by the slow deterioration of the nerve cells in the brain, which create dopamine. Dopamine is a natural substance found in the brain that plays a major role in our brains and bodies by messag...
