They are due to multifactorial etiology, amongst which are genetic and environmental factors. Methods: This is a cross –sectional- case control study, conducted at Khartoum state in a one-year time, and aimed to identify the pattern and risk factors of NTDs. All newborns with any type of neural tube defect admitted to NICU in study area during the study period were selected. Data was collected using a questionnaire covering medical, social history and clinical examination. Results: Out of the 36785 delivered newborns during the study period, 103 had NTD. The types of NTDs include myelomeningocele 47(45.7%), anencephaly 18(17.5%), encephalocele 14(13.6%), myelomeningocele + hydrocephalus 11(10.7%) and meningocele 8(7.8%). Family history of NTDs was found in 11(10.7%) of the affected newborns siblings. Only about one third of the studied mothers received folic acid during pregnancy. Other risk factors include two (1.9%) of the mothers exposed to irradiation and hyperthermia each, and 7(6.8%) exposed to anti-epileptic drugs, Diabetic mothers were 12(11.7%). Positive family history of neural tube defects was found in 11(10.7%) affected newborns. 74.5% of the studied families were of low social class. Conclusion: The commonest types of NDTs among the studied newborns were myelomeningocele followed by anencephaly The most common risk factors of NTDs among the study group include low and irregular folic acid intake during pregnancy, previous family history, maternal diabetes and low social class.","PeriodicalId":93559,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of intellectual & developmental disabilities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47209234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The perinatal period, followed by transition to motherhood, presents greater challenges for women with ADHD as there is significant worsening of pre-existing deficits in executive functioning due to major hormonal changes, prolonged sleep deprivation, heightened social demands and abrupt discontinuation of stimulants. In this report, we discuss the case of M, a middle-aged woman suffering from inadequately treated ADHD, comorbid with Bipolar disorder, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and history of substance use. We describe the patient’s clinical presentation during pregnancy, difficulties in engagement, and a treatment course with multiple complications. More specifically, we highlight our unique implementation of a long-term treatment approach to address her ADHD-related challenges during the postpartum period and subsequent years as M cares for her children with limited finances and social supports during a global pandemic. Finally, we emphasize outcomes of treatment and future directions for clinical research to design outpatient treatment models individualized to fit the complex needs of this population.","PeriodicalId":93559,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of intellectual & developmental disabilities","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68372496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These scare resource allocation policies have been criticized for commenting on patients’ age, comorbidities, and ability status as factors that should be taken into consideration by health professionals in deciding whether a particular patient should have access to potentially life-saving interventions when these interventions are in short supply. This is of particular significance to the disability community as hospitals and institutions are reviewing these policies in the context of increasing cases once again during the COVID-19 pandemic, where access to resources such as ventilators or therapeutics such as Remdesivir may again be limited. There has been a number of institutions that have already created policies excluding individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) from access to these interventions if they become limited in supply.","PeriodicalId":93559,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of intellectual & developmental disabilities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49232169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general terms, adolescence extends from the moment of sexual maturity until the age at which independence from the authority of the adult is ensured by law. In truth, the attainment of the goals in mental life that characterize the different phases of the adolescent period are often contradictory in their direction and also qualitatively heterogeneous; that is, this progression, digression, and regression alternate in evidence, since they temporarily comprise antagonistic goals. Regarding the choice of adolescent object, the mental and physical state that is generally associated with adolescence (both early adolescence and adolescence proper) has very different qualities from the pre-adolescent phase. The stage of body image representation in adolescence is important, since it is at this stage where the adolescent is faced with physical changes (growth of sexual organs, increased hormonal activity, reproductive capacity, among others), changes intellectual or emotional (ability to make self-value judgments, etc.) and three crises: identity, authority and sexual, fundamental aspects that influence the perception of their body. During adolescence proper, there is a decisive shift toward heterosexuality and a final and irreversible renunciation of the incestuous object.","PeriodicalId":93559,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of intellectual & developmental disabilities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47947132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
