Abstract: Background: Stereo width is grabbing attention in speech therapy, seen as a neat way to boost communication and rehab outcomes. Speech pathologists, for instance, are mixing fresh sound techniques with their usual methods in ways that feel less rigid and more experimental. New tech, like electroencephalogram neural interfaces, now delivers live brain-activity data during speaking tasks –a sign of how modern tools are reshaping the field. These devices even let practitioners’ peek into the physical flow of speech, which is handy when working with folks who have Parkinson’s disease, where hypokinetic dysarthria and fuzzy speech are common. By weaving stereo width into treatments, therapists end up crafting a more layered and engaging auditory scene that might help speech come out clearer. All in all, this intro kind of sets us up to explore not just how stereo width helps spot speech issues, but also how it might make therapy more effective. Methods: This report presented a boy, aged 7 years, with speech delay in the S and Z sounds accompanied by divided attention. Through speech therapy sessions with application of Real-Time Stereo Three-Dimensional Sound, there was a significantly faster improvement in both the automation of the S and Z sounds and a faster response to the spoken commands given. Conclusions: This first report of application of Real-Time Stereo Three-Dimensional Sound and Speech Processing in Speech Therapy in a patient underscores the value of these techniques, suggesting that their role in shaping more effective speech therapy interventions is just taking off and further case accumulation is needed to clarify their practical value.

Abstract: Background: Scorpion stings are frequent medical emergencies in the Middle East, often presenting with autonomic dysfunction and cardiovascular complications. However, some cases mimic unrelated conditions, leading to diagnostic confusion and delayed intervention.

Case Presentation: A 42-year-old presented with severe abdominal pain, hypertensive crisis, and tachycardia, initially raising concerns for acute abdomen, hypertensive emergency, or myocardial infarction. A hidden sting site on the patient’s foot was later discovered, revealing an underlying scorpion sting-induced autonomic storm. Prompt treatment with scorpion antivenom, prazosin, and supportive care led to full recovery within 48 hours.

Conclusion: This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by atypical scorpion envenomation and the importance of a meticulous physical examination. Emergency physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion in endemic regions to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract: The integration of speech therapy and physiotherapy within Greek special education schools is vital to enhancing the educational outcomes and overall well-being of children with disabilities. These therapeutic approaches not only address the unique communicative and physical challenges faced by these students but also foster an inclusive learning environment tailored to their specific needs. As research suggests, relational practice within educational settings is essential for promoting health and well-being, illustrating a need for a cohesive understanding among educators, therapists, and policymakers to optimize these educational frameworks. Moreover, the complexities of neurological conditions affecting children, such as ataxia and other motor disorders, further underscore the necessity of targeted therapies in special education. Thus, understanding these therapeutic modalities is crucial for developing effective strategies that support the diverse learning requirements of students in this context, as also reflected in visual representations of collaborative learning environments.

Abstract: Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major complication following cardiac surgery, particularly in patients undergoing valvular heart procedures. ARDS is associated with significant morbidity, increased hospital costs, and high mortality rates, ranging from 40% to 80%. Despite advances in perioperative care, the pathophysiology and risk factors of ARDS in patients undergoing isolated valvular heart surgery remain incompletely understood.

Objective: This study aims to assess the incidence, severity, and outcomes of postoperative ARDS in patients undergoing isolated valvular heart surgery. Additionally, it seeks to identify potential risk factors associated with the development of ARDS in this patient population.

Methods: A prospective study will be conducted on 50 patients undergoing isolated valvular heart surgery at Mahalla Cardiac Center. Clinical assessment, radiological imaging, and laboratory investigations will be utilized to diagnose ARDS based on the Berlin criteria. Statistical analysis will be performed to identify significant predictors of ARDS, including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables.

Expected Outcomes: This study will provide valuable insights into the incidence and predictors of ARDS in isolated valvular heart surgery. Identifying modifiable risk factors may contribute to the development of targeted prevention strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare burdens.

Conclusion: A deeper understanding of ARDS risk factors in valvular heart surgery patients will help refine perioperative management strategies, mitigate complications, and enhance overall patient care.

Abstract: Disaster medicine training plays a crucial role in how paramedics act in their roles as the first line responders. Curriculum designing for paramedic training needs to take into consideration the development of the knowledge, skills, as well as critical decision making capabilities. However, a disproportionate emphasis is placed on imparting technical skills and knowledge alone, while the development of competencies may not be focused upon. This is a serious gap, as repeatedly, empirical evidence suggests that first responders are pressured into situations where they have to make crucial decisions and take life-and-death decisions. This paper, therefore, aimed to develop a holistic understanding of disaster medicine competencies needed by paramedics during disaster management. It also intended to develop a comprehensive review of curriculum for paramedic students, more specifically in the context of Australia. The research is based on a systematic review of literature and for which databases like PubMed, MedLine, Cochrane, ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, CINAHL and Google Scholar were used. A total of 21 papers were reviewed, dating between 2005 and 2019, and analyzed using manual qualitative review. The findings indicated that there was scope for enriching curriculums by expanding core competencies and contextualizing them in the local and cultural settings, as well as enabling curriculums that support continuous learning and development.

Abstract: The complex link between what teens eat and their mental health, especially depression, in high school students has gained more research focus lately. The teenage years are important for growth and come with many physical, emotional, and social shifts, making it a key time for forming habits related to health. This age group often deals with various pressures that can worsen mental health, resulting in more signs of depression. At the same time, food choices made during this critical time can have a significant impact on health, mood, and brain function. Studies show that healthy diets are linked to fewer cases of depression, while diets heavy in processed foods can lead to more mental health problems. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how student eating habits relate to signs of depression, as this knowledge is important not just for tackling personal mental health issues but also for encouraging healthier habits that can help enhance overall well-being during these key years. This article is a narrative review that aims to summarize the available literature on the complicated link between what high school students eat and their feelings of depression. The association between dietary patterns and depressive symptoms among high school students underscores the significance of promoting healthy eating behaviors as a means to address mental health issues. The findings reveal a significant inverse correlation between the frequency of students participating in muscle-strengthening exercises and the manifestation of depressive symptoms, thereby emphasizing the intricate relationship between nutrition and physical activity in the mental health of adolescents.

Abstract: Pregnancy is a big change for a woman and often brings various physical difficulties, with back pain being the most common. This pain mostly comes from changes in the body, like higher hormone levels, gaining weight, and body mechanics changing to support the fetus. Although usually temporary, back pain during pregnancy can heavily affect a woman's life, including her movement, daily tasks, and emotional health. Because of this, there is a rising need for good ways to manage it, and physiotherapy is becoming a key method to help. This article presents a narrative review focused on evaluating the effectiveness of physiotherapy in alleviating back pain during pregnancy. It examines contemporary research that highlights various treatment approaches and their corresponding outcomes. The significance of physiotherapy in managing back pain during pregnancy is increasingly recognized as both vital and beneficial. Through techniques such as manual therapy, tailored exercise regimens, and education on body mechanics, physiotherapy effectively alleviates discomfort and enables expectant mothers to maintain an active and autonomous lifestyle. Integrating physiotherapy into prenatal care represents a crucial strategy for enhancing maternal health and addressing the difficulties associated with pregnancy-related pain.

Abstract: As global society confronts the extensive ramifications of climate change, an often-overlooked yet significant issue has surfaced: the relationship between environmental influences and the increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases. Conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's have traditionally been linked to the aging process; however, emerging studies indicate that climate change and exposure to environmental toxins could intensify the severity of these debilitating disorders. This literature review looks at the various connections between environmental changes and brain health, focusing on how rising temperatures, extreme weather, and pollution may worsen diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. By reviewing existing studies, the review aims to clarify the biological, psychological, and social impacts of these connections, showing how climate-related stressors can lead to neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. Additionally, it will discuss the differences in vulnerability, highlighting that marginalized groups might have greater risks from both environmental harm and neurodegenerative diseases. This review aims to add to the academic conversation and promote strategies that address both climate change and public health challenges. The significance of physiotherapy in managing back pain during pregnancy is increasingly recognized as both vital and beneficial. Through techniques such as manual therapy, tailored exercise regimens, and education on body mechanics, physiotherapy effectively alleviates discomfort and enables expectant mothers to maintain an active and autonomous lifestyle. Integrating physiotherapy into prenatal care represents a crucial strategy for enhancing maternal health and addressing the difficulties associated with pregnancy-related pain.

Abstract: Background: Jaundice in newborns is a risk factor for morbidity and death in newborns that can be avoided. It was the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, affecting almost 2.6 million infants, and It can affect anywhere from 60 % to 80 percent of preterm babies and term newborns.

Aim of this narrative review:  is to determine the literature that focuses on, neonatal jaundice including definition, types, risk factors as well as maternal knowledge and attitude toward neonatal jaundice.

Methods: The research strategy involves a comprehensive search across platforms like Google Scholar, Saudi Digital Library, PubMed, and Science Direct from 2018 to 2023. This search is based on the following keywords: neonatal jaundice, maternal knowledge, and maternal attitude. The inclusion criteria for the articles were studies published between 2018-2023, in English Language, and full text.

Results: The review emphasizes neonatal jaundice as a global concern affecting millions yearly, with physiological and pathological manifestations requiring distinction. Risk factors, including neonatal sepsis, blood group incompatibilities, and G6PD deficiency, are identified, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of severe jaundice development. The intricate relationships between hyperbilirubinemia and blood count variables suggest potential predictors of jaundice severity.

Conclusion: Early diagnosis, particularly in G6PD deficiency cases, is very important to avoid the complications from neonatal jaundice. Also, maternal knowledge and attitudes significantly influence prevention and management. Studies suggest a lack of awareness, particularly regarding antenatal screening tests. The positive impact of educational programs on maternal awareness is highlighted, addressing the need for tailored health education.
