Epidemic Diseases

The morbidity and mortality worldwide caused by viral diseases is a major threat for public health. The principle of spirituality is not well utilized in the present medical practice. Ayurveda system has longest clinical experience and rich cultural heritage among all other systems of medicine.Ayurveda has its unique description of epidemic diseases which is explained under the topic Janapadodwansa. Air (~Vayu), Water (~Jala), Region (~Bhumi/soil) and Time (~Kala) when vitiated they become more and more difficult to manage one by one. The root causes of Epidemic diseases are Adharma (~Unethical practices) and Pragyaparadha (intellectual blasphemy). Sadvritta (ethical code of conduct), Rasayana (rejuvenation) etc with respect to Janapada (Community) should be adopted for the control and prevention of the epidemics. These principles of prevention and management are more relevant now then before. The present article gives in-depth insight in to the understanding of epidemics from the view of Ayurveda.

Purpose The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released guidelines for rehabilitation professionals regarding the care of children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Given that mTBI impacts millions of children each year and can be particularly detrimental to children in middle and high school age groups, access to universal recommendations for management of postinjury symptoms is ideal. Method This viewpoint article examines the CDC guidelines and applies these recommendations directly to speech-language pathology practices. In particular, education, assessment, treatment, team management, and ongoing monitoring are discussed. In addition, suggested timelines regarding implementation of services by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are provided. Specific focus is placed on adolescents (i.e., middle and high school–age children). Results SLPs are critical members of the rehabilitation team working with children with mTBI and should be involved in education, symptom monitoring, and assessment early in the recovery process. SLPs can also provide unique insight into the cognitive and linguistic challenges of these students and can serve to bridge the gap among rehabilitation and school-based professionals, the adolescent with brain injury, and their parents. Conclusion The guidelines provided by the CDC, along with evidence from the field of speech pathology, can guide SLPs to advocate for involvement in the care of adolescents with mTBI. More research is needed to enhance the evidence base for direct assessment and treatment with this population; however, SLPs can use their extensive knowledge and experience working with individuals with traumatic brain injury as a starting point for post-mTBI care.
