When it comes to memory loss tests, a self-administered brain test can be quite beneficial. The dilemma of the overworked primary healthcare practitioners can be greatly alleviated by the idea of self-testing cognitive tests. People can take these tests in the privacy and comfort of their own homes, and the results can be reviewed by medical experts. They can use this to decide whether or not the child needs more care.

Cognitive development means how children think, explore and figure things out. According to educators of girls schools in Delhi, it is the development of knowledge, skills, problem solving and dispositions, which help children to think about and understand the world around them.
A normal heart rate is 50 to 100 beats per minute. Arrhythmia and abnormal heart rates don't necessarily occur together. Most arrhythmias are harmless, but some can be serious or even life threatening.

RELATIONSHIPS CHALLENGES.
It is important to care for oneself because neglecting one's own well-being can lead to negative consequences, such as physical and emotional exhaustion, burnout, and a negative impact on relationships and overall quality of life. Self-care includes activities that promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being, such as exercise, eating well, getting enough sleep, managing stress, and having a social support system. When individuals take care of themselves, they are better able to handle the demands and pressures of life, and they are more able to support and care for others. Additionally, self-care can help to prevent or alleviate the development of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Therefore, individuals need to make self-care a priority in order to maintain overall well-being.
Brain injury can significantly impact relationships, causing couples physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. Memory loss, difficulty with communication, physical changes, and emotional changes can all strain the relationship and make it difficult for the couple to connect. Caregiving responsibilities can also be overwhelming, leading to feelings of burnout or resentment. Counseling can provide support and guidance for both the injured person and their loved one to navigate these challenges and find ways to maintain their relationship and intimacy. It can also help the loved one understand the changes in their loved one, navigate practical aspects of caregiving and take care of their well-being. Overall, counseling is an important step in helping couples cope with the aftermath of a brain injury.
A counselor can help a couple navigate the challenges that arise after a brain injury by providing support, guidance, and practical strategies for coping. They can help the injured person and their loved one understand the changes that have occurred due to the brain injury, and provide them with tools for communicating and interacting with one another. Additionally, a counselor can provide guidance on navigating the practical aspects of caregiving, such as managing finances, coordinating medical appointments, and dealing with legal and insurance issues. They can also provide support and coping strategies for the loved one, who may face significant emotional and physical challenges due to their role as a caregiver. Furthermore, they can help the couple adapt to the new circumstances and find ways to maintain the relationship and intimacy despite the challenges caused by the brain injury.
Brain injury can cause a wide range of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms that can create problems for couples.
Memory loss, difficulty with communication, physical changes, and emotional changes can all strain the relationship and make it difficult for the couple to connect.

Actor Bruce Willis, known for his iconic roles in movies like the "Die Hard" franchise and "Pulp Fiction," has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, according to a statement released by his family on The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration website on Thursday. This comes nearly a year after the star retired from acting due to aphasia, which had been hampering his cognitive abilities.
According to the statement, Willis' condition has progressed since his diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, and the family now has a more specific diagnosis of FTD. The disease is characterized by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain's frontal lobes or its temporal lobes, and challenges with communication are just one of the many symptoms that come with the disease.
"Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis," the family said in the statement, which was accompanied by a photo of Willis at the beach.
The family also stated that there are currently no treatments for the disease, and they hope that Willis' diagnosis at the age of 67 will bring more attention and awareness to battling FTD.
Many in the entertainment industry have expressed their support for Willis and his family. Willis' oldest daughter, actor Rumer Willis, posted the announcement on Instagram, receiving messages of support from fellow actors and celebrities.

If you are noticing changes in your kid's behavior and their actions have become more skeptical and impulsive, then they might need medical help. Brain training is one of the useful approaches that practitioners advise at the very beginning to find peace in chaos, and the practice is conducted under the guidance of an experienced infant therapist, paired with many other brain exercises.

Terre des Hommes started a pilot project in Ukraine to help children affected by the war.
'My Friend' is a mental health and psychosocial support initiative combining cognitive behavioural and emotion-focused therapy. This programme equips participants with physical and mental strategies for recognising emotions, understanding stress levels, and effectively reducing stress.
The programme includes 12 group sessions tailored for children aged 5 to 7 and their caregivers. In Ukraine, over half of the participants are internally displaced persons from frontline areas affected by military operations.
Through their participation, children and caregivers develop emotional awareness and learn several coping strategies to manage distress.
Storytelling is a central feature in the programme, with Lando the hare as the main character guiding the narrative. In each new session, Lando encounters a new obstacle he must overcome. The children also create puppets through which they express their emotions.
The pilot project, funded by Giro555, was highly successful. Many caregivers noted their difficulty discussing emotions and recognised that the programme benefits themselves and their children.

The large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 marked a devastating escalation of the conflict following the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the occupation of parts of Eastern Ukraine. In response to this crisis, Cordaid has supported Ukrainians since 2015, providing crucial humanitarian assistance and fostering resilience through impactful partnerships with local Caritas organisations.
Caritas Ukraine and Caritas Spes swiftly deliver emergency assistance to conflict-affected regions nationwide. By prioritising local leadership, these partnerships empower Ukrainians to determine their needs and implement sustainable solutions.
Key initiatives include:
•Emergency Relief: Supporting displaced people in fragile and vulnerable circumstances in war-affected areas in the east with basic needs.
•Water Rehabilitation: Repairing damaged water systems and installing filtration units in heavily affected areas to ensure access to clean water.
•Healthcare Programmes: Establishing nine medical centres that provide integrated services, including primary healthcare, psychological support, and palliative care. These centres are designed to achieve financial sustainability through government support.
•Livelihood Recovery: Helping displaced people rebuild their lives through business training and start-up grants.
•Palliative Care Expansion: Meeting the rising demand for home and hospice care for displaced elderly and chronically ill, impacted by the ongoing conflict.
By late 2024, over 3.7 million people remained displaced within Ukraine, with 6 million more seeking refuge abroad. The war’s toll on housing, infrastructure, and mental health has created urgent needs. An increasing number of families deal with the loss of family members, mostly husbands, sons and fathers, and demobilised veterans are struggling to reintegrate into society.
Cordaid’s recovery programmes address these challenges by:
•Providing emergency relief to newly displaced individuals, particularly in eastern regions.
•Offering psychosocial support and rehabilitation for civilians affected by the war and for veterans and their families.
•Supporting essential utilities, including water systems, electricity, and winterisation supplies.
As the conflict continues, Cordaid remains committed to a dual emergency relief approach and sustainable recovery that considers new needs.
By strengthening partnerships with the Ukrainian Caritas branches and other local organisations, fostering local leadership, and ensuring financial sustainability, Cordaid aims to build resilience and restore hope for the millions affected by this devastating war.
Through collaboration, innovation, and a focus on evolving community needs, Cordaid is helping to create a path forward for Ukraine—one rooted in dignity, resilience, and hope for a brighter future.
