Anorexia nervosa ( AN ) is a severe illness with high rates of relapse .
| 0
|
24488838
|
objective
|
Exposure and Response Prevention for AN ( AN-EXRP ) is a new approach that specifically addresses maladaptive eating behavior by targeting eating-related fear and anxiety .
| 1
|
24488838
|
objective
|
The aim of this study was to evaluate AN-EXRP as an adjunctive strategy to improve eating behavior during weight restoration , at a pivotal moment when treatment goals shift toward relapse prevention .
| 2
|
24488838
|
methods
|
A randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare AN-EXRP with a comparison condition , Cognitive Remediation Therapy ( CRT ) .
| 3
|
24488838
|
methods
|
Hospitalized patients with AN ( n = @ ) who had achieved weight restoration to a BMI > @ kg/m ( @ ) received @ sessions of either AN-EXRP or CRT .
| 4
|
24488838
|
methods
|
Outcome was assessed by change in caloric intake in an objective assessment of eating behavior .
| 5
|
24488838
|
results
|
The average test meal caloric intake of participants who received AN-EXRP increased from @ kcal at baseline to @ kcal post-treatment , while that of participants who received CRT decreased from @ kcal at baseline to @ kcal post-treatment -LSB- t ( @ ) = @ , p = @ -RSB- .

objective
|
Aggressive behaviour in psychosis is not uncommon .
| 0
|
25007421
|
objective
|
Community provision for people with psychosis has left informal caregivers to take on a greater role in their care .
| 1
|
25007421
|
objective
|
However , few studies have explored links between patient-initiated violence in mental health caregiving relationships and caregiver functioning .
| 2
|
25007421
|
objective
|
Our study investigated caregiver reports of aggressive acts committed by their relative with psychosis and their links to caregiver appraisals of the caregiving relationship and caregiver outcomes .
| 3
|
25007421
|
methods
|
Caregivers of patients with a recent relapse of psychosis , recruited to a psychological therapy trial , completed the audiotaped Camberwell Family Interview at baseline .
| 4
|
25007421
|
methods
|
This semi-structured interview includes questions on the quality of the relationship between caregiver and patient , and patient history of violence .
| 5
|
25007421
|
methods
|
Seventy-two transcripts of interviews were assessed for reports of patient-initiated violence .
| 6
|
25007421
|
results
|
One-half of the caregiver sample ( @ % ) reported an incident of patient-initiated violence during their interview ; @ % of these involved violence toward themselves , and @ % toward property .
| 7
|
25007421
|
results
|
Reports of patient violence were associated with caregiver ratings of hostility expressed toward patients , lower self-esteem , and emotion-focused coping .
| 8
|
25007421
|
results
|
People caring on their own were more likely to report incidents of patient violence .
| 9
|
25007421
|
results
|
Younger patients , males , and inpatients were more frequently identified as having a history of this kind of violence .
| 10
|
25007421
|
conclusions
|
Our findings suggested that caregiver reports of patient-initiated violence in psychosis are not uncommon .
| 11
|
25007421
|
conclusions
|
Mental health staff need to be aware of the risks of such violence for caregivers of people with psychosis , and consider appropriate procedures for minimizing it .

background
|
Positive-pressure ventilation during transport of intubated patients is generally delivered via a hand-pressurized device .
| 0
|
24958362
|
background
|
Of these devices , self-inflating resuscitators ( SIR ) and flow-inflating resuscitators ( FIR ) constitute the two major types used .
| 1
|
24958362
|
background
|
Selection of a particular device for transport , however , remains largely an institutional practice .
| 2
|
24958362
|
objective
|
To evaluate the hypothesis that transport ventilation goals of intubated pediatric patients are better achieved using an FIR compared to an SIR .
| 3
|
24958362
|
methods
|
This randomized crossover simulation study compared the performance of SIR and FIR among anesthesia providers in a pediatric transport scenario .

|
24958362
|
methods
|
Subjects hand-ventilated a test lung while simultaneously maneuvering a stretcher bed to simulate patient transport .
| 5
|
24958362
|
methods
|
Hand ventilation was carried out using a Jackson-Rees circuit ( FIR ) and a Laerdal pediatric silicone resuscitator ( SIR ) .
| 6
|
24958362
|
methods
|
The primary outcome was the proportion of total breaths delivered within the predefined target PIP/PEEP range ( @ + / - @ , @ + / - @ cm H@O ) .
| 7
|
24958362
|
methods
|
Secondary outcomes included proportion of total breaths delivered with operationally defined unacceptable breath variables ( PIP > @ cm H@O or PEEP < @ cm H@O ) .
| 8
|
24958362
|
results
|
Overall , participants were four times more likely to deliver target breaths and one-third less likely to deliver unacceptable breaths using the FIR compared to the SIR .
| 9
|
24958362
|
results
|
When comparing device performance , a @ % increase in the proportions of target breaths and a @ % decrease in unacceptable breaths using the FIR were observed ( P < @ for both ) .
| 10
|
24958362
|
conclusions
|
Hand ventilation during patient transport is superior using the FIR compared to the SIR to achieve target ventilatory goals and avoid unacceptable ventilatory cycles .

24530651
|
objective
|
To evaluate the effects of a home-monitoring device with tele-monitoring compared with standard care in detection of progression to choroidal neovascularization ( CNV ) associated with age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) , the leading cause of blindness in the US .
| 0
|
24530651
|
methods
|
Participants , aged @ to @ years , at high risk of developing CNV associated with AMD were recruited to the HOme Monitoring of Eye ( HOME ) Study , an unmasked , multi-center , randomized trial of the ForeseeHome ( FH ) device plus standard care vs. standard care alone .
| 1
|
24530651
|
methods
|
The FH device utilizes preferential hyperacuity perimetry and tele-monitoring to detect changes in vision function associated with development of CNV , potentially prior to symptom and visual acuity loss .
| 2
|
24530651
|
methods
|
After establishing baseline measurements , subsequent changes on follow-up are detected by the device , causing the monitoring center to alert the clinical center to recall participants for an exam .
| 3
|
24530651
|
methods
|
Standard care consists of instructions for self-monitoring visual changes with subsequent self-report to the clinical center .
| 4
|
24530651
|
methods
|
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether home monitoring plus standard care in comparison with standard care alone , results in earlier detection of incident CNV with better present visual acuity .
| 5
|
24530651
|
methods
|
The primary outcome is the decline in visual acuity at CNV diagnosis from baseline .
| 6
|
24530651
|
methods
|
Detection of CNV prior to substantial vision loss is critical as vision outcome following anti-angiogenic therapy is dependent on the visual acuity at initiation of treatment .
| 7
|
24530651
|
conclusions
|
HOME Study is the first large scale study to test the use of home tele-monitoring system in the management of AMD patients .
