Abstract: We report on the analysis of selected single source data sets from the first round of the Mock LISA Data Challenges (MLDC) for white dwarf binaries. We implemented an end-to-end pipeline consisting of a grid-based coherent pre-processing unit for signal detection, and an automatic Markov Chain Monte Carlo post-processing unit for signal evaluation. We demonstrate that signal detection with our coherent approach is secure and accurate, and is increased in accuracy and supplemented with additional information on the signal parameters by our Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach. We also demonstrate that the Markov Chain Monte Carlo routine is additionally able to determine accurately the noise level in the frequency window of interest., Comment: GWDAW-11 proceeding, submitted to CQG, 10 pages, 3 figures, 1 table; revised values in table

Abstract: Intraorbital metastases of solid tumors are a rarely diagnosed clinical condition, even though pathological reports suggest an incidence of up to 30% in cancer patients. We report two cases of intraorbital, extraocular metastases in breast cancer. The first patient was a 45-year-old man who presented with diplopia, upward divergence of the left bulb, and local pain.In the standard cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) no cerebral or ocular tumor was detectable. A subsequent T1-weighted, contrast-enhanced orbital MRI with fat suppression revealed an infrabulbar mass of 18 x 13 mm in size. The second patient, a 59-year-old woman, complained of slight diplopia when looking to the left. Cerebral MRI with fat suppression showed a retrobulbar mass with 17x13 mm. In both patients metastatic breast cancer was known for several years, and both had been in a stable disease situation. Both patients were treated with stereotactic radiation, applying a cumulative dose of 35 and 45 Gy, respectively, which resulted in marked improvement of local symptoms. Most eye metastases of breast cancer are located in the choroidea, while an extrabulbar localization within the orbit is rare, with only 3-10% of all ocular metastases. Autopsy reports reveal that an estimated 10-30% of breast cancer patients develop this form of metastasis. This is in strong contrast to rare clinical case reports, suggesting frequently absent to mild clinical signs and difficult diagnosis.If breast cancer patients complain of ophthalmological symptoms such as local pain, impaired vision, or diplopia, it is important to consider ocular or orbital metastatic disease.

Abstract: Summary Background CD23 plays an important role in IgE regulation. The modulation of CD23 expression during specific immunotherapy (SIT) has been described previously. In the present study, we investigated in detail the effects of complete birch pollen allergen extract (BPA) on CD23 expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in vitro. Methods PBMCs from 14 birch pollen-allergic (bp-allergic) patients and eight non-bp-allergic controls were stimulated with IL-4 and increasing doses of BPA. CD23 expression on monocytes and B cells was measured by flow cytometry; sCD23 release and the levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 secretion were determined by ELISA. To analyse the mechanisms on CD23 expression in more detail, neutralizing anti-IFN-γ and anti-IL-10 antibodies were added to IL-4 and BPA-stimulated cultures. Results IL-4 induced CD23 expression on B cells and on monocytes and sCD23 release in the bp-allergic and non-bp-allergic groups. The addition of BPA to IL-4-stimulated PBMC decreased CD23 expression significantly and dose-dependently on B cells in both groups. CD23 expression on monocytes was also decreased in both groups after the addition of BPA, but higher doses were required in the non-bp-allergic population. IL-4-induced sCD23 release was also significantly decreased after the addition of BPA. IFN-γ and IL-10 were induced by BPA in both the bp-allergic and non-bp-allergic groups. The addition of neutralizing anti-IFN-γ antibodies increased CD23 expression on B cells, which were stimulated with IL-4 and BPA, but had no effect on monocytes, whereas the addition of anti-IL-10 antibodies increased CD23 expression on monocytes but not on B cells. Conclusion These data indicate that early immunological effects like down-regulation of CD23 on B cells and monocytes, which are observed during SIT are dose dependent, mediated by IFN-γ and IL-10 and seem not to depend per se on the sensitization state of an individual.

Abstract: Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising observational signature. In this Letter we present a search for GWs from cosmic string cusps in data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors between 2005 and 2010, with over 625 days of live time. We find no evidence of GW signals from cosmic strings. From this result, we derive new constraints on cosmic string parameters, which complement and improve existing limits from previous searches for a stochastic background of GWs from cosmic microwave background measurements and pulsar timing data. In particular, if the size of loops is given by the gravitational backreaction scale, we place upper limits on the string tension Gμ below 10(-8) in some regions of the cosmic string parameter space. ispartof: PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS vol:112 issue:13 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range $\mathrm{50-1000 Hz}$ with the first derivative of frequency in the range $-8.9 \times 10^{-10}$ Hz/s to zero in two years of data collected during LIGO's fifth science run. Our results employ a Hough transform technique, introducing a $\chi^2$ test and analysis of coincidences between the signal levels in years 1 and 2 of observations that offers a significant improvement in the product of strain sensitivity with compute cycles per data sample compared to previously published searches. Since our search yields no surviving candidates, we present results taking the form of frequency dependent, 95$%$ confidence upper limits on the strain amplitude $h_0$. The most stringent upper limit from year 1 is $1.0\times 10^{-24}$ in the $\mathrm{158.00-158.25 Hz}$ band. In year 2, the most stringent upper limit is $\mathrm{8.9\times10^{-25}}$ in the $\mathrm{146.50-146.75 Hz}$ band. This improved detection pipeline, which is computationally efficient by at least two orders of magnitude better than our flagship Einstein$@$Home search, will be important for "quick-look" searches in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detector era.

Abstract: Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We investigate models of long-lived (~10-1000s) GW emission associated with the accretion disk of a collapsed star or with its protoneutron star remnant. Using data from LIGO's fifth science run, and GRB triggers from the swift experiment, we perform a search for unmodeled long-lived GW transients. Finding no evidence of GW emission, we place 90% confidence level upper limits on the GW fluence at Earth from long GRBs for three waveforms inspired by a model of GWs from accretion disk instabilities. These limits range from F, 14 pages, 4 figures

Abstract: HISTORY AND ADMISSION FINDINGS A 59-year-old woman was diagnosed as having solitary bone plasmacytoma of the sternum which was resected. Five month later she presented with a pathological fracture of the clavicle. On examination she had a ptosis and an ophthalmoplegia. INVESTIGATIONS A mass in the clivus extending into the left sphenoid sinus as well as multiple osteolytic lesions in the skull were shown by cranial MRI. Skeletal survey showed multiple osteolytic lesions. Laboratory test did not show any specific abnormalities. DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND COURSE The biopsy taken from the mass at the sphenoid sinus demonstrated plasmacytoma. The diagnosis of multiple myeloma was based on the histological evidence of plasmacytoma and the occurrence of multiple lytic bone lesions although no infiltration of bone marrow and none of the specific laboratory findings were present. The patient underwent local radiotherapy with 30 Gy followed by systemic chemotherapy. The symptoms regressed completely under this therapy. CONCLUSION Various cranial nerve syndromes such as the superior orbital fissure syndrome are most often caused by tumors at the skull base. Knowledge of the histological entity is essential for the correct diagnosis and the appropriate therapy because rare tumors like multiple myeloma may also cause such syndromes.

Abstract: During the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), signals modelling the gravitational waves emitted by coalescing non-spinning compact-object binaries were injected into the LIGO data stream. We analysed the data segments into which such injections were made using a Bayesian approach, implemented as a Markov-chain Monte-Carlo technique in our code SPINspiral. This technique enables us to determine the physical parameters of such a binary inspiral, including masses and spin, following a possible detection trigger. For the first time, we publish the results of a realistic parameter-estimation analysis of waveforms embedded in real detector noise. We used both spinning and non-spinning waveform templates for the data analysis and demonstrate that the intrinsic source parameters can be estimated with an accuracy of better than 1-3% in the chirp mass and 0.02-0.05 (8-20%) in the symmetric mass ratio if non-spinning waveforms are used. We also find a bias between the injected and recovered parameters, and attribute it to the difference in the post-Newtonian orders of the waveforms used for injection and analysis., 11 pages, 3 figures, 3 tables.

Abstract: Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) interferometers (LIGO, Virgo, and GEO-600). We present parameter-estimation results from our Markov-chain Monte-Carlo code SPINspiral on signals from binaries with precessing spins. Two data sets are created by injecting simulated GW signals into either synthetic Gaussian noise or into LIGO detector data. We compute the 15-dimensional probability-density functions (PDFs) for both data sets, as well as for a data set containing LIGO data with a known, loud artefact ("glitch"). We show that the analysis of the signal in detector noise yields accuracies similar to those obtained using simulated Gaussian noise. We also find that while the Markov chains from the glitch do not converge, the PDFs would look consistent with a GW signal present in the data. While our parameter-estimation results are encouraging, further investigations into how to differentiate an actual GW signal from noise are necessary., Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, NRDA09 proceedings

Abstract: We present a Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) technique to study the source parameters of gravitational-wave signals from the inspirals of stellar-mass compact binaries detected with ground-based gravitational-wave detectors such as LIGO and Virgo, for the case where spin is present in the more massive compact object in the binary. We discuss aspects of the MCMC algorithm that allow us to sample the parameter space in an efficient way. We show sample runs that illustrate the possibilities of our MCMC code and the difficulties that we encounter., 10 pages, 2 figures, submitted to Classical and Quantum Gravity

Abstract: Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, Virgo, and GEO-600). We present parameter-estimation simulations for inspirals of black-hole--neutron-star binaries using Markov-chain Monte-Carlo methods. As a specific example of the power of these methods, we consider source localisation in the sky and analyse the degeneracy in it when data from only two detectors are used. We focus on the effect that the black-hole spin has on the localisation estimation. We also report on a comparative Markov-chain Monte-Carlo analysis with two different waveform families, at 1.5 and 3.5 post-Newtonian order., Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables.

Abstract: Inspiral signals from binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, Virgo, GEO-600 and TAMA-300). We present parameter-estimation simulations for inspirals of black-hole--neutron-star binaries using Markov-chain Monte-Carlo methods. For the first time, we have both estimated the parameters of a binary inspiral source with a spinning component and determined the accuracy of the parameter estimation, for simulated observations with ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. We demonstrate that we can obtain the distance, sky position, and binary orientation at a higher accuracy than previously suggested in the literature. For an observation of an inspiral with sufficient spin and two or three detectors we find an accuracy in the determination of the sky position of typically a few tens of square degrees., v2: major conceptual changes, 4 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, submitted to ApJL

Abstract: The Mock LISA Data Challenges are a program to demonstrate LISA data-analysis capabilities and to encourage their development. Each round of challenges consists of several data sets containing simulated instrument noise and gravitational-wave sources of undisclosed parameters. Participants are asked to analyze the data sets and report the maximum information about source parameters. The challenges are being released in rounds of increasing complexity and realism: in this proceeding we present the results of Challenge 2, issued in January 2007, which successfully demonstrated the recovery of signals from supermassive black-hole binaries, from ~20,000 overlapping Galactic white-dwarf binaries, and from the extreme-mass-ratio inspirals of compact objects into central galactic black holes., Comment: 8 pages, 2 EPS figures, proceedings of the 7th Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves, 8-14 July 2007, Sydney, Australia

Abstract: A 59-year-old woman was diagnosed as having solitary bone plasmacytoma of the sternum which was resected. Five month later she presented with a pathological fracture of the clavicle. On examination she had a ptosis and an ophthalmoplegia.A mass in the clivus extending into the left sphenoid sinus as well as multiple osteolytic lesions in the skull were shown by cranial MRI. Skeletal survey showed multiple osteolytic lesions. Laboratory test did not show any specific abnormalities.The biopsy taken from the mass at the sphenoid sinus demonstrated plasmacytoma. The diagnosis of multiple myeloma was based on the histological evidence of plasmacytoma and the occurrence of multiple lytic bone lesions although no infiltration of bone marrow and none of the specific laboratory findings were present. The patient underwent local radiotherapy with 30 Gy followed by systemic chemotherapy. The symptoms regressed completely under this therapy.Various cranial nerve syndromes such as the superior orbital fissure syndrome are most often caused by tumors at the skull base. Knowledge of the histological entity is essential for the correct diagnosis and the appropriate therapy because rare tumors like multiple myeloma may also cause such syndromes.

20. Allergen-mediated modulation of CD23 expression is interferon-gamma and interleukin-10 dependent in allergic and non-allergic individuals

Abstract: CD23 plays an important role in IgE regulation. The modulation of CD23 expression during specific immunotherapy (SIT) has been described previously. In the present study, we investigated in detail the effects of complete birch pollen allergen extract (BPA) on CD23 expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in vitro.PBMCs from 14 birch pollen-allergic (bp-allergic) patients and eight non-bp-allergic controls were stimulated with IL-4 and increasing doses of BPA. CD23 expression on monocytes and B cells was measured by flow cytometry; sCD23 release and the levels of IFN-gamma and IL-10 secretion were determined by ELISA. To analyse the mechanisms on CD23 expression in more detail, neutralizing anti-IFN-gamma and anti-IL-10 antibodies were added to IL-4 and BPA-stimulated cultures.IL-4 induced CD23 expression on B cells and on monocytes and sCD23 release in the bp-allergic and non-bp-allergic groups. The addition of BPA to IL-4-stimulated PBMC decreased CD23 expression significantly and dose-dependently on B cells in both groups. CD23 expression on monocytes was also decreased in both groups after the addition of BPA, but higher doses were required in the non-bp-allergic population. IL-4-induced sCD23 release was also significantly decreased after the addition of BPA. IFN-gamma and IL-10 were induced by BPA in both the bp-allergic and non-bp-allergic groups. The addition of neutralizing anti-IFN-gamma antibodies increased CD23 expression on B cells, which were stimulated with IL-4 and BPA, but had no effect on monocytes, whereas the addition of anti-IL-10 antibodies increased CD23 expression on monocytes but not on B cells.These data indicate that early immunological effects like down-regulation of CD23 on B cells and monocytes, which are observed during SIT are dose dependent, mediated by IFN-gamma and IL-10 and seem not to depend per se on the sensitization state of an individual.

Abstract: Background: Little is known about the involvement of B cells in venom immunotherapy (VIT). To elucidate changes in the B cell phenotype during this process, we examined the expression of several surface molecules on peripheral B cells before and during VIT. Methods: 15 venom-allergic patients with a history of systemic reactions after a wasp sting and venom-specific skin test reactivity as well as serum IgE were investigated before VIT (day 1), 1 day after reaching a maintenance dose of 100 µg (day 6) during inpatient rush VIT, and again on day 26 during continued outpatient maintenance therapy. Changes in the serum levels of total IgE, allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) and sIgG4 were measured by ELISA. Expression of several surface molecules on double-labelled B cells was studied by flow cytometry of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results: Levels of total IgE, sIgE and sIgG4 showed a significant increase after 26 days of VIT. On day 6, cell surface expression of HLA- II-DR, CD5, CD32 and CD54 was decreased in intensity and numbers of positive cells compared to day 1, while on day 26, expression of these molecules approached again baseline levels. Furthermore, a trend to decreased CD23 was noted on day 6. No changes were observed for CD40, CD86, CD95 and HLA-I-ABC. Conclusion: These data show that during initiation of rush VIT, B cell expression of surface molecules involved in T-B cell cooperation and antigen presentation is downmodulated. B cells may thus be additional direct or indirect targets of high-dose antigen therapy and contribute to the persistence of TH1 responses during maintenance VIT treatment.

Abstract: Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze all relevant comparative studies comparing robot-assisted minimally invasive thymectomy (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery thymectomy (VATS) in terms of surgical and short-term outcomes., Methods: A systematic search for articles describing robot-assisted and video-assisted thymectomy and addressing surgical outcomes, operation time, length of hospitalization, intra-operative blood loss, conversion to sternotomy and post-operative complications was performed using the medical databases., Results: Of the 478 studies from preliminary screening, five articles were included. By pooling these studies, we found no significant differences between the RATS and VATS (odds ratio 1.24 (95% CI 0.51, 3.03; p = 0.63)).There were no significant differences in comparison of conversion rates, operation time (26.29 min (95% CI -2.57, 55.35; p = 0.07)) and length of hospitalization (-1.58 days (95% CI -4.78, 1.62; p = 0.33)). There was a slightly higher blood loss in the RATS group., Conclusion: Our meta-analysis did not detect any statistically significant differences in surgery outcomes between the two groups., (Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)

Abstract: Background: Robotic video-assisted surgery (RVATS) has been reported to be equally effective to video-assisted surgery (VATS) in lung resection (pneumonectomy, lobectomy, and segmentectomy). Operation time, mortality, drainage duration, and length of hospitalization of patients undergoing either RVATS or VATS are compared in this meta-analysis., Methods: A systematic research for articles meeting our inclusion criteria was performed using the PubMed database. Articles published from January 2011 to January 2016 were included. We used results of reported mortality, operation time, drainage duration, and hospitalization length for performing this meta-analysis. Mean difference and logarithmic odds ratio were used as summary statistics., Results: Ten studies eligible were included into this analysis (5 studies for operation time, 3 studies for chest in tube days, 4 studies for length of hospitalization, and 6 studies for mortality). We were able to include 3375 subjects for RVATS and 58,683 subjects for VATS. Patients were mainly treated for lung cancer, metastatic foci, and benign lesions. We could not detect any difference between operation time; however, we found 2 trends showing that drainage duration and length of hospitalization are shorter for following RVATS than for following VATS. Mortality also is lower in patients undergoing RVATS., Conclusions: Therefore, we conclude that RVATS is a suitable minimal-invasive procedure for lung resection and suitable alternative to VATS. RVATS is as time-efficient as VATS and shows a trend to reduced hospital stay and drainage duration. More and better studies are required to provide reliable, unbiased evidence regarding the relative benefits of both methods.

Abstract: Background: Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RVATS) is a relatively new technique applied for thymectomies. Only few studies directly compare RVATS to the mainstay therapy, open surgery (sternotomy)., Methods: A systematic search of the literature was performed in October 2016. The meta-analysis includes studies comparing robotassisted and open thymectomy regarding operation time, length of hospitalization, intraoperative blood loss, and chest-in-tube days, postoperative complications, reoperation, arrhythmic events, pleural effusion, and postoperative bleeding., Results: Of 626 studies preliminary screened, 7 articles were included. There were no significant differences in comparison of operation time (-3.19 minutes [95% confidence interval, 95% CI -112.43 to 106.05]; P = .94), but patients undergoing RVATS spent significantly less time in hospital (-4.06 days [95% CI -7.98 to -0.13], P = .046). There were fewer chests-in-tube days (-2.50 days [95% CI -15.01 to 10.01]; P = .24) and less intraoperative blood loss (-256.84 mL [95% CI -627.47 to 113.80]; P = .10) observed in the RVATS group; due to a small number of studies, these results were not statistically significant. There were also less post-operative complications in the RVATS group (12 complications in 209 patients vs 51 complications in 259 patients); however, this difference was not statistical significant (odds ratio 0.27, 95% CI 0.07-1.12; P = .06)., Conclusions: Patients undergoing RVATS spent less time in hospital than patients treated by open surgery (sternotomy). These patients tended to have less postoperative complications, less intraoperative blood loss, and fewer chest-in-tube days. We found evidence for the safety and feasibility of RVATS compared with open surgery, which has to be further confirmed in randomised controlled trials.

Abstract: Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising observational signature. In this Letter we present a search for GWs from cosmic string cusps in data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors between 2005 and 2010, with over 625 days of live time. We find no evidence of GW signals from cosmic strings. From this result, we derive new constraints on cosmic string parameters, which complement and improve existing limits from previous searches for a stochastic background of GWs from cosmic microwave background measurements and pulsar timing data. In particular, if the size of loops is given by the gravitational backreaction scale, we place upper limits on the string tension Gμ below 10(-8) in some regions of the cosmic string parameter space.

26. A profile of canadian pediatric occupational therapy practice.

Author: Brown GT, Rodger S, Brown A, and Roever C
Abstract: Purpose: This study established a current profile of Canadian pediatric occupational therapy practice in terms of theories/practice models, assessments, and interventions., Method: Respondents were 272 members of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists who indicated that pediatrics was their primary area of clinical practice. A purpose-designed survey was mailed to participants., Results: The response rate was adequate at 27.2% (n = 272/1,000). The primary client groups seen by pediatric therapists were developmental delay, learning disability, neurology, and those requiring rehabilitation. Sensory Integration and Client-Centred Practice were the most frequently utilized theories/practice models. The most commonly used assessments were the Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration, Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, and the Sensory Profile. The most frequently used intervention techniques with pediatric clients were the instruction of parents/caregivers and children; assistive devices, adaptive equipment, and technology; activities of daily living/self-care skills; and environmental modification/access/structuring/adaptation., Conclusions: Pediatric occupational therapists mainly used theories/ practice models that focused on three areas: Client-Centred practice, practice-oriented theories, and several theories/practice models based on occupation. Interventions focused on teaching, activities unique to occupational therapy, and on the functional needs of the client.

27. A comparison of paediatrics occupational therapy university program curricula in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.

Author: Rodger S, Brown GT, Brown A, and Roever C
Subjects: Australia, Canada, Humans, Models, Educational, New Zealand, Universities, Curriculum, Occupational Therapy education, Pediatrics, Schools, Health Occupations organization & administration
Abstract: Comparisons were made of the paediatric content of professional entry-level occupational therapy university program curricula in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada using an ex post facto survey methodology. The findings indicated that in Australia/New Zealand, paediatrics made up 20% of the total curriculum, but only 13% in Canada. Canadian reference materials were utilized less often in Canadian universities than in Australia/New Zealand. Theories taught most often in Australia/New Zealand were: Sensory Integration, Neurodevelopmental Therapy, Client-Centered Practice, Playfulness, and the Model of Human Occupation. In Canada, the most frequent theories were: Piaget's Stages of Cognitive/Intellectual Development, Neurodevelopmental Therapy, Erikson's Eight Stages of Psychosocial Development and Sensory Integration. The most frequently taught paediatric assessment tools in both regions were the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency and Miller Assessment for Preschoolers. Paediatric intervention methods taught to students in all three countries focused on activities of daily living/self-care, motor skills, perceptual and visual motor integration, and infant and child development.

28. A comparison of Canadian and Australian paediatric occupational therapists.

Author: Brown GT, Rodger S, Brown A, and Roever C
Subjects: Adult, Australia, Female, Health Care Surveys, Humans, Male, Middle Aged, United States, Occupational Therapy organization & administration, Pediatrics organization & administration
Abstract: Paediatric occupational therapists were surveyed regarding their practices in Canada and Australia. Two hundred and eighty-nine Canadian occupational therapists and 330 Australian occupational therapists participated representing response rates of 28.9% and 55% respectively. The majority of respondents were female (98%), between 30 and 49 years of age (69%), had a bachelor's degree, worked on average 10.5 years in paediatrics and spent well over 50% of their work time in direct client care. The largest client diagnostic groups in both countries were those with developmental delays, learning disabilities and neurological disorders. Diagnostic groups were used as an organizing framework to portray theory, assessment and intervention use. Overall, the theoretical models cited most frequently in both countries were: Sensory Integration, Sensory Processing/Sensory Diet, Client-Centred Practice, and Occupational Performance Model. Australian therapists employed the Occupational Performance Model (Australia) for all groups, while it was rarely utilized in Canada. Common assessment tools in both Australia and Canada were the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration, and the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. Intervention methods focused on: parental/care-giver education; activities of daily living/self-care skills training; client education; environmental modification; assistive devices; sensory integration techniques; sensory stimulation and sensory diet treatment methods; and neurodevelopmental techniques.

29. Comparing the toxicity of digoxin and digitoxin in a geriatric population: should an old drug be rediscovered?

Author: Roever C, Ferrante J, Gonzalez EC, Pal N, and Roetzheim RG
Subjects: Aged, Aged, 80 and over, Female, Florida, Hospitalization, Humans, Logistic Models, Male, Middle Aged, Retrospective Studies, Cardiotonic Agents adverse effects, Digitoxin adverse effects, Digoxin adverse effects, Geriatrics
Abstract: Background: Little information is available regarding toxicity rates of the two available forms of cardiac glycosides (digoxin, digitoxin) when used in elderly patients., Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the charts of all patients more than 60 years of age who were chronically managed with a cardiac glycoside and were hospitalized during the period January 1995 through January 1998. Toxicity was defined as any clinical event that required either a reduction in dose of the drug or its discontinuance., Results: Toxicity occurred among 7.6% of hospitalizations in which digitoxin was used, compared with 18.3% of hospitalizations in which digoxin was used. In multivariate analysis, the odds of toxicity adjusted for other clinical characteristics were three times greater for patients taking digoxin than for patients taking digitoxin., Conclusion: Hospitalized elderly patients taking digitoxin had a lower rate of toxicity than those taking digoxin.
