“…[5] There is a 2.5-fold increase in the occurrence of CP in consanguineous families, which also increases the possibility of existence of recessive forms of CP is reported. [37] Regarding fetal loss, the observed findings of this study are similar to those of a recent study that explored the correlation between abortion and CP from the data of more than four million births.…”

“…Due to the non-progressive nature of the lesion, historically it is considered as static encephalopathy and excludes all the progressive neurological disorders. [5] No effective treatment for the underlying brain damage has been formulated to date. All the sophisticated technologies and highly expensive and complicated therapies in the medical research field have failed to find a definite cure for this disease.…”

According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimation, 10% of the global population has some form of disability due to different causes; in India, it is 3.8% of the population. Nearly 15-20% of the total physically handicapped children suffer from Cerebral Palsy (CP). For India, the estimated incidence is around 3/1000 live births; however, being a developing country, the expected actual figure may be much higher. Despite the advancement in modern technology and improved neonatal care, stagnant or increasing incidence of CP has been observed, which is of great concern. As far as management or preventive aspect is concerned, no satisfactory criteria have been developed to date. The present study is based on a positive hypothesis for the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment. The study was carried out in 16 patients, 8 in each group, namely group A (Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda externally and Samvardhana Ghrita internally) and group B (Samvardhana Ghrita internally) for 35 days duration. In group A, moderate improvement, mild improvement, and no improvement were observed in 50%, 37.5% and 12.5% of patients respectively. In group B, moderate improvement and mild improvement were observed in 75% and 25% of the patients respectively. Statistical significance of results on selected criteria showed the efficacy of the selected Ayurvedic treatment modality in relieving the signs and symptoms of CP. Although it is incurable, Ayurvedic science can provide a better direction by improving the quality of life of children with CP with better life expectancy.

“…Cerebral palsy (CP) is a relatively common childhood disability. Medically, it is defined as 'a group of non-progressive but often changing motor impairment syndromes secondary to lesions or anomalies of brain arising in early stages of its developments' (Parthasarathy, 2006; Figures 11 and 12).…”

“…Worldwide, there are about 150–250 million children who have disabilities (Disability World, 2003). A large number of them have difficulties related to problems in the central nervous sytem (Cole et al, 2002; Heward, 2006; Hynd et al, 1991; NICHD, 2010; Parthasarathy, 2006). To cope with such a situation, special education schemes for these children are often designed.…”

It is estimated that of approximately 150–250 million children with disabilities across the world, a large number have difficulties related to problems in the central nervous system (CNS). This paper considers school dropout rates of children with special educational needs associated with CNS problems from a study of educational institutions in North‐East India. Statistical methods, namely the Kaplan–Meier estimator (Product–Limit estimator) for survival probability and the Nelson–Aalen estimator for cumulative hazard rates, were used to identify potential school continuation or dropout probabilities (survival probabilities), along with cumulative hazard rates (dropout rates) for children with a range of disabilities from different training institutions within the sample area. The research found an increasing likelihood of increased dropout rates in relation to the age of the children within the study sample. This indicates that special education is yet to produce satisfactory results for these children.

“…[2] The term marasmus is derived from the Greek word marasmos which means withering or wasting. [3][4][5] The term kwashiorkor is taken from the language of Ghana and means "the sickness of the weaning" or the disease that occurs when the child is displaced from the breast by another child. Dr. Cicely D Williams introduced the name into the international medical community.…”

and Methods: Children with PEM grade I and II without any other pathological problem.The children admitted in the department. Results: In study group, majority of children had PEM grade III malnutrition while in control group, equal number of children had PEM grade I and grade II malnutrition. This table shows that majority of children in study group had lower level of serum protein levels as compared with control group, and there is progressive fall in its level as the severity of malnutrition increases. This table shows that majority of children in study group had lower level of serum albumin levels as compared with control group, and there is progressive fall in its level as the severity of malnutrition increases. Conclusion: The study concludes that estimation of serum T3, T4 and TSH levels in severely malnourished children admitted and co-relation with serum protein and serum albumin levels. To conclude, altered thyroid profile in PEM is perhaps a defense mechanism against excessive metabolic stimulation and energy consumption. The resultant hypometabolism protect the malnourished child with low calories reserve from an early death.
