Introduction to Sensory Integration In Pediatrics Sensory experiences include touch‚ movement‚ body awareness‚ sight‚ sound and the pull of gravity. The process of the brain organizing and interpreting this information is called sensory integration. Sensory integration provides a crucial foundation for later‚ more complex learning and behavior. For most children‚ sensory integration develops in the course of ordinary childhood activities. Motor planning ability is a natural outcome

Abstract Alcohol consumption may be linked to syncopal events. The mechanism by which alcohol may induce syncope is not well understood. Impairment of the response to orthostatic stress may be involved. A growing body of medical evidence suggests that short-term alcohol consumption elicits hypotension during orthostatic stress because of impairment of vasoconstriction. These findings have implications for understanding of hemodynamic effects of alcohol and‚ in particular‚ for understanding
