A wide range of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices are used to meet the diverse needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who have difficulty using natural speech to meet their daily communication needs. Need of the study: Most of the systems mainly focus on semantics and Research has shown evidence significant difficulties specifically in the area of syntactical structures. Aim of the study: To show the effective facilitation from semantics to syntactical structures development of children with ASD by using simple low technology Aided AAC.

The plant was investigated for possible toxicity (both acute and subacute toxicity) in wistar rats. Twenty five female rats were divided into five groups of five rats each. The first group was orally dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight of the extract for acute toxicity testing. The remaining four groups were used for subacute testing and were dosed as follows; group A received orally administered distilled water, group B received 50mg/kg, and groups C and D received 100 and 200 mg/kg respectively of the extract orally.

Background: Chemoresistanceinvolving P-gp / MDR1 as uncertain factors affect the clinical response after the administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy NAC) regimen Cyclophosphamid-Doxorubicin-5FU CDF). Response to chemotherapy can be assessed by changes in mRNA expression of MDR1 gene due to DNA damage in the cancer cell DNA synthesis by examination of quantitative Real Time PCR qRT-PCR). Objective: Knowing the direction of change in MDR1 mRNA expression before and after administration of NAC regimen CDF on Local advanced breast cancer LABC) based clinical response.

Introduction: Postoperative delirium is a complication that frequently occurs in post-operative patients, both in cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, with the most affected being the elderly. Diagnostic criteria for delirium or cognitive impairment are documented in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). The incidence reported on this entity varies between 25-80%, and its diagnosis will depend on its definitions, forms of presentation, type of surgery and time of its evaluation in the postoperative period.

Introduction: The disorders that alter the function vestibular are a major public health problema, both clinical as economic perspective. Objective: To identify vestibular disorders in patients with postural instability at The Naval High Specialty Hospital.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked genetic myopathy characterized by progressive skeletal muscle degeneration and weakness. Recent studies have shown that stem cell derived exosomes promote angiogenic and cardioprotective function of cellular therapy. With no known cure, cellular therapy has shown some promise in altering the disease process. We report a case of DMD treated with autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMNC) transplantation followed by long term multidisciplinary rehabilitation.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of various radiographic findings associated with osteoarthritis of the knee, according to Kellgren-Lawrence classification in military special operations unit of the Mexican Navy.

Maxillofacial injuries are one of the byproducts of ‘SPEED ON ROADS’. Despite of employing numerous devices for improving safety measures in motor vehicles, traffic accidents are still among the main reasons of maxillofacial injuries. Notwithstanding, the recent advances in our field, maxillofacial injuries still remain the serious clinical problem due to specificity of this anatomical region.

Objective: Evaluate the impact of quality of life in the functional result audiologic in patients implanted with system BAHA®. Material and methods: The study included 19 patients implanted with BAHA percutaneous and transcutaneous system in its varieties BP100, BP110, BAHA4 and BAHA5. To measure the quality of life, the Glasgow Benefit Inventory was used. The audiological result was performed with pure tone audiometry at frequencies 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000Hz. Before and after the implant.

Caffeine (1, 3, 7-Trimethylxanthine) is a habitual substance present in a wide variety of beverages and in choclate based foods. It is also used as adjuvants in some drugs. There have been numerous reports that caffeine is an ergogenic aid, ingestion of the drug has been shown to increase endurance, particularly in prolonged exercise lasting 30 -120 minutes. The present study was undertaken to study the effects of caffeine in coffee on endurance exercise in young healthy adult males. Twenty young males participated in this single blind study.
