So a pediatric gastroenteroligist looks at all children, or children with GERD? How come the child has GERD, I mean what makes a child have GERD?

GERD is what they call a motility problem (which means to be able to move spontaneously). The acids in the stomach keep coming back up into the esophagus and this causes the esophagus to become enflamed (esophagitis). It's very painful and needs to be controlled, because left untreated, can lead to cancer of the esophagus. Sometimes, when it is severe and children are failure to thrive or keep getting fluid in their lungs (a very bad condition), docs will do surgery called fundoplication. This procedure involves wrapping the esophagus around the stomach. Children with DS are more susceptible to having GERD, probably because of their low muscle tone.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well Mr.Manoj, There are many Kind of Risk Assessment formats available. Some prepare the format as per company's forum & others as per their respective requirement. Simply explaining the difference between these two are, that 1) If you carry out a Risk Assessment in a shop-floor and Identify all the Major Types Hazards ( eg, Electrical Hazard, Oil Spillage, Fire, Ergonomics, Noise etc) , then it will be considered as Qualitative Risk Assessment. 2) Where as if you assess the same along with a Risk Matrix , that is - rating each of the respective Hazards separately and ranking them into categorization thereby made, will be considered as Quantitative Risk Assessment. Hope you get the point. Do comment on the discussion please. Regards, Indrajeet Roy, ALIL (Pune) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Mr Manoj, Indrajeet has rightly explained you the gist of Qualitative and Quantitative Risk assessment. Id like to add to the same Qualitative (Risk assessment) : Self explains that we are trying to identify the Hazards its location and prevalence. At times rough quantification is done during qualitative risk assessment eg. Measuring level of noise or heat stress just to have a rough idea whether it is high or low. Quantitative (Risk Assessment): Self explains that we are trying to quantify the risk associated to the identified Hazards. A detailed survey is made and risk arising from the hazards are measured by means of a risk matrix at identified locations (as explained by Indrajeet) or by instrumental readings like Noise levels, Wet bulb/ Dry bulb temp readings, ergonomic risk etc. Hope this information is helpful to you, Others are welcome to add to the information.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Dear all, When doing risk assesment it is better to idetify the hazards associated with each and every activity in the process so that we would havE a clear picture. the noise, heat, vibrations etc are selective one. So iti s better to identify the risks associated with our all activities.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Dear Friends, Our frnd manoj had asked about 1. Qualitative Risk Assessment/Quantitaive Risk Assessment methods, & how it differs from each other & 2. it's applicability in industry Answer 1 Qualtative risk analysis is an subjective approach, where u define the likely hood of occurence & severity qualitatively for example severity ranking could be high, medium so on..., and likely hood of occurence as once in week, once in month & so on... these ranking changes from industries to industries. It is risk matrix approach. Methods would be DOW index, FMEA etc whereas Quantitative Risk assessment quantifies both the severity ( interms of effects on environment, property & human. for ex 10 people may die due to rupture of LPG bullet) & likely hood of occurence ( interms of failure frequencies generally derived from literatures. for example pipeline failure frequency is 1E-6 per year). CCPS has given guidlines for the same u may refer that. Answer 2 Above defination will suffice Answer 3 There are thousand of risk in an industries, but each risk doenot require to be studied in detail depending upon its extent. Therfore Qualitative approach is used to identify the high risk & further these risk are quantified to understand their impact. Still u feel, u require more help u can write to me.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hello All, With respect to all above discussion I think there is a mis-conception about the topic. CCPS has given the same guidelines as discussed earlier. As I mentioned before that in Qualitative Risk analysis is only to recognize a particular Hazard, in simple words the type of hazards, and evaluating it in deeper sense wrt its probability of causing Harm, which can be of any type. Now after recognization of all the MAH & when we add all and compare the severity & Frequency of such hazard with a risk matrix – What we avail is a percentile result which can be termed as Quantitative (means-Amount) Assessment of a particular Risk . FMEA, HAZOP, DOW, LOPA-HF, OSHAs-Risk Assessment(2006 version) , FRA etc. will include in Quantifying ( amount) a Hazards . For further Information I am attaching a PDF file , wich will more clearly give an idea of what Quantity & Quality is...? Regards, Indrajeet Roy.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hi Delia, Welcome to the group. My son is a 10th grader, 16 and has been the first student to be included since kindergarten in our school district. It has been a rocky road, some years better than others depending on teacher's attitudes toward inclusion. I find it troubling that many special ed and general teachers know little about Down syndrome and or dual diagnosis and seem to group students ability by ID verses individuality. I would urge you and your graduate students to read Mental Wellness in Adults with Down Syndrome by Dennis McGuire, Ph.D and Chicoine MD., a guide to emotional and behavioral strengths and challenges. The book focuses on adults but does mention elementary and teen years. It is published by Woodbine. The book helps to make sense of behaviors and learning that many teachers have little understanding and knowledge. Charlyne Subject: (unknown) To: Date: Saturday, November 29, 2008, 9:36 PM Hi,   My name is Delia and I am  new to the group. I have a brother who has Downs and a son who is developmentally disabled. I have been involved in Special Education for 30 years as a sibling, parent and teacher. I come to the group because I am an inclusion facilitator in a northwest suburb of Chicago. In recent months, I have noticed an increase in students who have the dual diagnosis of Downs and Autism. Teachers have come to me asking for help on how to service their students. It has become apparent that I need to know more to help them.  In my role as an inclusion facilitator, I also want to help the children enjoy the life they deserve in every aspect. Having lived most of my life being involved with children with special needs, I know how important this is. I am also a professor at a local university, teaching special education to graduate students who will be getting a degree in special education. I feel that it is important for them to know about students with dual diagnosis. I hope that I will be able to offer the group knowledge that I've gained from years of experience while I become more informed about children with the dual diagnosis of Downs and Autism.    Dr. Delia J.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Delia: Welcome to our list. We parents (for the most part but not only) are able to support each other in our trials and efforts as well as glory inour successes in a way that the typical population can only think about. HAving said that, integration in school and life is a goal most of us support and work towards with various successes. For my son Elie, now 23, school was hot or miss. HE was included totally for k-3 which took five years. With the help of a co-teacher (the inclusion specialist in his school), he had some great years with second grade being the absolutely best of his elementary years. Third grade teachers changed and he was relegated to the back of the room with a one on one. Then that teacher was hospitalized with a serious mental illness (where she remains to this day) and he sufferred thru a variety of paras. After that, he was in self-contained classes as he withdrew more and more. Middle school was spent self contained with a wonderful man who helped him attain much success. HE attended 6th grade social studies, clubs, and computer classes with neuro typical kids thruourt and was mostly able to handle the noise and confusion of middle school with some precautions. By h/s he was in a stand alone private k-12 school for people with various special needs (some physical, some cognitive, some behavioral) HEre he learned better behavior control but not much else. Then for his glorious last year of school, he was enrolled in a rural regular h/s but self contained with the most magnificent teacher who allowed him the opportunity to grow in compassionan, academics, as well as being more independent as he learned his way alone thru the school community. Now he is living in the community with a NT peer who is his " bro " and friend. The changes in him in the past 2 months are remarkable. This w/e he came home for a w/e visit for the first time since he moved. Yesterday he went shopping and picked out on his own which shoes and pj's he wanted - he never cared anything about clothes and would always tell us no previously. > Hi Delia, > Welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 What about asking them to promote and celebrate March 21st, 2009, World Down Syndrome Day every year with free haircuts for anyone with Down syndrome (I like this because it means the staff will meet more people with Down Syndrome - and you may want to suggest they get help " training " the staff in disability awareness issues) or to give a donation (they get a tax break and good press for that so they like it too) to a national or state charity. By they way - if they called wanting to resolve, that means you did well on your discovery.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 My first thought is that I'd be a little concerned about " making " them give free haircuts to persons with a disability..if they have that " attitude " , YKWIM???? I wouldn't want to take my daughter to them knowing what I know now cause I could " feel " their attitude. Maybe they could be required to raise a certain amount of funds though for a good cause.like the Buddy Walk or something? Maybe they have a " come get your haircut day (or days) and 25% of the funds goes towards the Buddy Walk (or another cause)? My question is - do they truly understand what they did and how it felt? I know you don't know me Stella but I read your post and was just appalled (as you obviously were...) and I applaud you for going forward and taking action! Blessings, Kathy (unknown) I talked to my lawyer yesterday and she said that their lawyer had sent her an email asking how we could resolve this. I told her all I wanted was an written apology for a, and the same respect for children with disabilities as others, and possibly free haircuts to persons with a disability. I don't know how long or often, but I think they should have to do something to bring awareness for our children, What do you guys think?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Great ideas! Only sometimes I am one of those that just stay away as the trust has been broken, business like this will give me a bad taste and no longer want anything with them. It is wrong how they treated your daughter so hope you could get something resolved where respect and dignity is deserved. A contribution to your favorite charity in honor of your daughter. Did their attorney recommend anything? You would think that they would thought of something, instead you broke the camels back and left them speechless with bringing forth justice & respect where needed. The hairdresser could have in front of the building with I love kids with Down syndrome or tattoo herself. Ok, I am just getting carried away here. Did like 's idea. Irma > > What about asking them to promote and celebrate March 21st, 2009, World Down Syndrome Day� every year with free haircuts for anyone with Down syndrome (I like this because it means the staff will meet more people with Down Syndrome - and you may want to suggest they get help " training " the staff in disability awareness issues) or to give a donation (they get a tax break and good press for that so they like it too) to a national or state charity. > > By they way - if they called wanting to resolve, that means you did well on your discovery. > > Take care, > > > (unknown) > To: > > > I talked to my lawyer yesterday and she said that their lawyer > > had sent her an email asking how we could resolve this.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 lol. Your a mess. I went ahead and sent an email telling her that I loved Kathy's idea. And being that April is Autism Awareness month, this month would be great to have a portion of their profits donated to an non-profit organization. I wish she could have went with me during my meeting.Thanks Kathy, good idea. Your right, my mind just froze when he asked me what I expected to come out of this. I'll let everyone know what we end up asking for. Whatever it is, it will be for OUR CHILDREN.... I'm going to frame the apology letter and put it where I can see it. That way, whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed I can look up to that letter and remember that I fought for a and was able to get her justice. It might sound crazy but to me that apology letter will stand for a lot, like I will not put up with anyone mistreating any person especially children with a disability. We have to be our children s voice, and that's what I done. > > > > What about asking them to promote and celebrate March 21st, 2009, World Down Syndrome Day� every year with free haircuts for anyone with Down syndrome (I like this because it means the staff will meet more people with Down Syndrome - and you may want to suggest they get help " training " the staff in disability awareness issues) or to give a donation (they get a tax break and good press for that so they like it too) to a national or state charity. > > > > By they way - if they called wanting to resolve, that means you did well on your discovery. > > > > Take care, > > > > > > (unknown) > > To: > > > > > I talked to my lawyer yesterday and she said that their lawyer > > > had sent her an email asking how we could resolve this.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Welcome to our list! Even though is 15 - there are many many years of growth and learning to look forward to. My son Elie is 24. HE now lives in a house he co-rents with his caregiver. HE volunteers in his community and enjoys his life with his circle of male friends. Elie does talk and walk - as minimally as he must toget his needs met. > > > <<<Hi Everyone. > > My name is and I am the mother of 15.
