    No full text
    Heat stress is a critical and potentially life-threatening medical condition that occurs when the body’s thermoregulatory mechanisms fail to dissipate excessive heat, resulting in elevated core body temperature and systemic dysfunction. This paper explores heat stress as a medical emergency, highlighting its pathophysiology, epidemiological trends, and the essential role of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in early recognition, prehospital management, and coordination of care. The study synthesizes current evidence from international health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH), to establish a comprehensive understanding of heat-related illness management. It emphasizes the integration of EMS systems in Saudi Arabia, where environmental heat exposure and mass gatherings present unique challenges. The findings underscore the importance of timely field cooling, rapid transport, and continuous training for EMS personnel to mitigate morbidity and mortality associated with heat emergencie

    Antenatal ultrasonographic detection of a rare intrauterine unilateral renal mass: A case of Congenital Wilms' Tumor

    Get PDF
    Congenital Wilms’ tumor is an exceptionally rare variant of nephroblastoma, diagnosed either in utero or within the first 30 days of life. Its clinical presentation and biological behavior may differ from the typical pediatric form, requiring a specialized approach to diagnosis and treatment. We present a case of a full-term newborn with a unilateral congenital Wilms’ tumor, initially detected during prenatal ultrasonography as an abdominal mass. Postnatal evaluations, including contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and laboratory studies, confirmed the presence of a renal tumor confined to the left kidney. The patient underwent surgical resection via nephrectomy on day seven of life. Histopathological examination revealed Wilms’ tumor stage II based on surgical and pathological findings. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was started on adjuvant chemotherapy according to pediatric oncology protocols. This case underscores the value of early prenatal detection, multidisciplinary management, and individualized therapeutic planning in achieving favorable outcomes for neonates with congenital Wilms’ tumor

    The impact of gait disorders on executive functions in neurological patients: A literature review

    Get PDF
    This is a literature review covering the intricate and two-way association between gait disorders and executive functioning deficits in individuals with neurological disorders. The review begins by defining executive functions, followed by a discussion of its fundamental components (inhibition, working memory, cognitive flexibility), and finally, the neural foundation of EF is outlined, focusing on the frontal lobes and related brain networks. A typology of neurological gait disorders (e.g., Parkinsonian, hemiplegic, ataxic) is then described, which is then correlated with their respective etiologies. The cognitive-motor interference model of gait-executive functions interaction and the shared neural resource theories are explored as frameworks explaining the phenomenon, and the dual-task paradigm as a methodological instrument is considered specifically. In the review, the authors examined how this interaction manifests in neurological diseases, including Parkinson's, stroke, and multiple sclerosis, and noted the peculiarities and mechanisms in each instance. Lastly, the clinical implications of this interaction on everyday functioning, risk of falls, and quality of life are addressed, along with what they mean regarding rehabilitation approaches, with a particular focus on integrated motor-cognitive interventions, including dual-task training and novel technologies (e.g., exergaming, virtual reality).

    The effect of individualized sensory retraining on the rehabilitation of adults with functional neurological disorders: An unexplored field in physical therapy practice

    Get PDF
    The purpose of this article is to introduce a new integrated model of physical therapy in managing adults with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), which is a disabling, common health issue with no form of standardized treatment. The approach includes integrating incongruent lines of evidence through adopting a complete synthesis of the qualitative research of the lived experience of the patient, neurobiological research on sensory perception, and clinical research regarding physical and mental therapy. The primary results of this synthesis argument lead to a paradigm shift towards the participatory model of sensory retraining that rejects pure motor-based rehabilitation. This model is constructed on the base of co-creation, in which the patient-narrative construction and subjective state are the central sequences in creating a treatment alliance and the improvement of treatment compliance. The main ones are the introduction of affordably individualized classical sensory retraining focused on retraining the central nervous system-interpretation, the use of a personalized dental, or sensory diet to enhance self-regulation, and the introduction of what we call the sensory mindfulness to uncouple painful sensations with maladaptive/ unresponsive movements/dissociation reactions.

    Get PDF
    This article investigates the influence of autism on school development, addressing both the challenges and opportunities that Autism presents in the field of academic performance and the relevance of the interaction between education. Through a theoretical review and qualitative research, the characteristics of autism and its effect on teachers and families are examined to promote inclusion. The main objective is to analyze the influence of autism on school development, identifying the challenges that students face and intervention strategies that promote their inclusion and academic performance. The methodology used included semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and analysis of school documents, which made it possible to comprehensively capture the experiences and needs of the different actors involved. The results reveal that, although ASD brings with it difficulties in communication, socialization, and curricular adaptation, the implementation of inclusive pedagogical strategies, such as Universal Design for Learning, together with strengthening communication between home and school, can significantly improve the integration and academic performance of students with autism. In addition, recommendations are presented aimed at teacher training, the adaptation of resources, and the personalization of learning, with the aim of optimizing the educational environment for this population
