The study found that simple training imparted to attendants, relatives and caregivers can lead to a marked decline in the number of patients who end up developing irreversible bedsores. The department trained attendants to provide mouth, skin and nutritional care; and to perform simple physiotherapy of unconscious patients who had sustained serious head injuries. Of the 1,377 patients studied over two years and treated for a period of 1-3 months, only 28 patients (2 per cent of the patients studied) developed pressure sores. A majority of these patients were paralysed by cervical injury and their attendants were trained on how to turn their sides while on bed. <br /><br />“It only requires two nurses to train attendants. Rather than complaining of shortage of nurses, we need to learn how to best handle patients within whatever resources and expertise is available at hand,” Dr. Ehsan pointed out. Had it not been for the care provided by the relatives and loved ones of the patients, they would have had to endure additional agony. “All healthcare centres facing paucity of nursing staff can follow this approach to reduce the suffering of patients,” he added. <br /><br />Another study conducted by neurosurgery resident Dr. Waseem Anwar found that one tablet of folic acid taken every day by women of child-bearing age can lead to a decline in the number of children born with Meningomyelocoele, a condition in which children remain crippled for life; have no control over urine and faeces; and have a swelling on the back. While Canada barely reports one case of Meningomyelocoele per year, the incidence in Pakistan is much higher. PIMS alone receives 3 to 4 cases of Meningomyelocoele per week. <br /><br />Dr. Waseem informed that 100 tablets of folic acid cost Rs12 only, rendering it within the reach of every Pakistani. The real challenge is lack of awareness. “We need to fortify our bread and flour with folic acid to reduce the incidence of Meningomyelocoele,” Dr. Waseem said. Some of the participants believed that unless such a child is born to an influential family, there is little hope for any action being taken in this neglected area.<br /><br />The audience was informed that Meningomyelocoele results from malnourishment, use of some epileptic medicines, cousin marriages, and the damaging effects of X-rays in women who are not sure their pregnancy. Since the brain of a child develops in 30 days, early X-rays can have a damaging impact. The study also found that even in cases where ultrasounds, medicines and antenatal care were provided, accurate diagnosis was missing. <br /><br />Dr. Khaleeq-uz-Zaman focused on how innovation can help save lives in a hospital setting constrained by shortage of equipment and staff. “The brain is the biggest technology. If the objective is to save lives, lives can be saved through appropriate use of the brain,” he remarked. The neurosurgeon said, leadership ownership, commitment, and innovation must be the hallmark of all doctors. He advised doctors to foster team spirit and to learn to work within given constraints. “No doctor can have an excuse for not providing first aid and supporting a critical patient within the first golden hour,” he said. Dr. Khaleeq said every patient should be treated like a VIP. <br /><br />Dr. Samina Khaleeq talked about the management of unidentified patients with severe head injuries. She referred to a study carried out on 91 unconscious patients who were brought to the department of the neurosurgery over the period of 7 years. The study found that the mortality and morbidity of unaccompanied patients was comparable to the mortality and morbidity ratios of those accompanied by their relatives, meaning that unaccompanied patients were managed just as well. The patients were also provided medicines and surgical disposables from funds raised by the department of the neurosurgery from its own recourses.<br /><br />Other speakers included Prof. Iqbal of Islamic International Medical College, who gave a detailed description of an ideal emergency and trauma centre; pulmonologist Dr. Kosar Rehana, Prof. Ghazala Mehmood, Dr. Hameed-ud-Din, critical care specialist. Dr. Vincent Ioos, Dr. Lubna Naseem, and Dr. Shagufta Hussain. <br /><br />Prof. Muhammad Umer, chief of gastroenterology and hepatology unit of Holy Family Hospital said that a PC-1 for Liver Transplant has been approved by the cabinet. He said, liver transplant would be possible at Sheikh Zaid Hospital, Lahore, within 1-2 years. Of the 10 million patients of Hepatitis B and C in Pakistan, 10 per cent need liver transplantation. Prof. Nadeem Ahmed, consultant surgeon, PIMS, announced to launch a Liver Transplant Society. He said that the rising incidence of Hepatitis in Pakistan makes it imperative to have more transplant surgeons and more specialised liver transplant units in all big cities.PHYSIOTHERAPY NEWS/EVENTS/JOBS IN PAKISTANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17747775164675875851noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067634375820704386.post-81378133362486021202008-09-25T17:07:00.001+06:002008-11-21T10:13:21.314+05:00Admissions open in Bsc Physiotherapy LMDC,LahoreAdmissions in Bsc Physiotherapy are started in Lahore Medical and dental college Lahore.<br /><br /><strong>Last Date of application 15 october 2008.</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbnMZWdcY9v4f13Ypfst_upJs4KryNNZs2m4_xRPiU5dZoPVdJEcB0FOi6um_JqmRZ46_fR6NHSVtkO-OV9jojgMLFC3yozSLI37LMjc76gqqqIDN_EvVJP27j0UfV2PWo-J3MrqRKKQE/s1600-h/adm7(86).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 315px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbnMZWdcY9v4f13Ypfst_upJs4KryNNZs2m4_xRPiU5dZoPVdJEcB0FOi6um_JqmRZ46_fR6NHSVtkO-OV9jojgMLFC3yozSLI37LMjc76gqqqIDN_EvVJP27j0UfV2PWo-J3MrqRKKQE/s400/adm7(86).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270974041195100802" /></a>PHYSIOTHERAPY NEWS/EVENTS/JOBS IN PAKISTANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17747775164675875851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067634375820704386.post-91375195989984986482008-09-15T10:10:00.001+06:002008-11-14T10:15:22.939+05:00admission in Physiotherapy FMH LAHORE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8WXfg-gN7gFPyQd6WlbDsuPX4q-UA1OtVl2ef9qk2Dt2cNS4ixUq-sp30n-cVD9CJsv2T7TGU-2bKqORnYTqW4J0N3p7hZheHibXC_2aynxhl4nid0lRZ1ogEbRKUiLjhl3gmzIz6YM/s1600-h/AHS.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 361px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8WXfg-gN7gFPyQd6WlbDsuPX4q-UA1OtVl2ef9qk2Dt2cNS4ixUq-sp30n-cVD9CJsv2T7TGU-2bKqORnYTqW4J0N3p7hZheHibXC_2aynxhl4nid0lRZ1ogEbRKUiLjhl3gmzIz6YM/s400/AHS.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268377428482139234" /></a><br />admission in BSC physiotherapy is started in FMH Lahore.<br />last date of submission of applications is 25 september 2008.PHYSIOTHERAPY NEWS/EVENTS/JOBS IN PAKISTANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17747775164675875851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067634375820704386.post-16296583380463251452008-09-09T14:52:00.000+06:002008-11-28T14:54:23.892+05:00Physiotherapy best method for mental, physical rehabilitationLahore -- PROF Dr Zafarullah Khan, the vice-chancellor of the King Edward Medical University (KEMU), has said that physiotherapy is one of the best methods of treatment for the mental and physical rehabilitation of patients.<br /><br />He was speaking at a ceremony held in connection with the World Physiotherapy Day, organised by the School of Physiotherapy, the Mayo Hospital, at the KEMU auditorium here on Monday. The physiotherapists from 37 cities of the four provinces participated in the event.<br /><br />Explaining the role of the KEMU in up-grading the physiotherapy education, Dr Zafarullah said the KEMU would not compromise on the quality of medical education, including nursing education or physiotherapy education. <br /><br />�The university doesn�t discriminate between the students of the MBBS, post-graduation, nursing or physiotherapy, and treats all the students equally at the university,� he said, adding that there were 3,500 students studying at the university, which made it the largest medical university in the country.

More than 30 professionals from government and non-government organisations and partners, including the World Health Organisation, attended the meeting.<br /><br />Having been apprised of the concept of PTMC, the participants were divided into three groups which brainstormed the challenges hampering the establishment of PTMC, coordination of the centre with the primary healthcare system, and various capacity issues.<br /><br />The groups prepared recommendations and gave ideas favouring the establishment of PTMC. A committee was also formed for implementation and follow-up, with Nirm consultant psychologist Ghulam Murtaza Bodla as its coordinator. After the group discussions, the participants formulated proposals for the Ministry of Health as directed by the Prime Minister’s Secretariat.<br /><br />Dr. Jehanzeb said, the establishment of PTMC will be a huge contribution in the field of psychological management of survivors of disaster. The centre is envisaged to provide a range of services including psychological first aid, psychological assessment, physiotherapy and trauma counselling. <br /><br />“The centre will offer psychosocial rehabilitation of persons with psychological disorders. Out-reach mental health programmes for the community will also be formulated,” Dr. Jehanzeb informed.<br /><br />Almost all countries of the world, except for Pakistan, have centres for promotion of mental health. Pakistan is lagging behind in this field.PHYSIOTHERAPY NEWS/EVENTS/JOBS IN PAKISTANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17747775164675875851noreply@blogger.com0
