There is a real need for improvements in cancer detection. Significant problems are encountered when utilising the gold standard of excisional biopsy combined with histopathology. This can include missed lesions, perforation and high levels inter- intra-observer discrepancies. The clinical requirements an objective, non-invasive time probe accurate repeatable measurement tissue pathological state overwhelming. study has evaluated potential Raman spectroscopy to achieve this goal. technique...
Although much effort has gone into promoting early skin‐to‐skin contact and parental involvement at vaginal birth, caesarean birth remains entrenched in surgical resuscitative rituals, which delay contact, impair maternal satisfaction reduce breastfeeding. We describe a ‘natural’ approach that mimics the situation by allowing (i) parents to watch of their child as active participants (ii) slow delivery with physiological autoresuscitation (iii) baby be transferred directly onto mother’s...
Background In Victoria, Australia, systematic assessment of outcomes in mental health services are being instituted. Aims To carry out a large-scale field trial the Health Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS). Method 2137 clients were rated by workers on HoNOS, and about half again within few months. Results While interrater reliability total score was satisfactory, that some individual items unacceptable. Significant associations with age gender found, non-psychotic disorders obtained higher (i.e....
Lifeguards must maintain alertness and monitor an aquatic space across extended periods. However, lifeguard research has yet to investigate a lifeguard's ability performance over time whether this is influenced by years of certified experience or the detection difficulty drowning incident. The aim study was examine experience, duration, bather number, on task influences performance.A total 30 participants took part in nine 60-minute specific tasks that included 11 events occurring at...
The present study sought to examine the gaze behaviours exhibited by lifeguards with different levels of experience while performing a task focused on detecting drowning incidents across extended periods. results indicated gradual decline in detection performance over time, regardless lifeguards' experience. Analysis participants' unveiled that this was associated alterations both number and duration fixations. greater maintained higher fixation numbers for durations, exhibiting consistent...
Learning conditions that provide task-relevant autonomy, and those encourage cognitive effort through manipulations of difficulty, have been reported to enhance skill development. However, research is yet directly compare these two establish their relative contribution enhancing motor learning. This study used an on-screen target interception task autonomous group (self-selection racquet size), a Challenge Point (performance-contingent yoked group, fixed size control group. Task accuracy...
Occupational therapists have been concerned with the health-promoting aspects of children's play. The evidence suggests that freedom to play away from adult supervision has declined in recent years and parental perception risk may be a factor this. This research used qualitative approach explore six parents' views on how their fear might shaping parents stated children were now more likely take part activities supervised by adults. article shows these findings linked national trends...

They also likely to secret compulsive about exercising. displayed 'negative addiction' exercise, gave control their negative mood states as major reason for undertaking it. theoretical clinical implications these results are discussed.
Abstract Two experiments aimed to determine whether working memory capacity (WMC) and high‐order executive functions predict drown detection performance maintenance under heightened task demands. Experiment 1 ( n = 111) found a positive correlation between enhanced scores higher WMC, while function showed no comparable association. 2 28) individuals with elevated WMC demonstrated an ability detect greater number of drowning events over extended period overall, relative their lower scoring...

In series of audits we have evidenced low use the recommended tool provided within proforma two hospices. some circumstances this omission appropriate clinical situation, however results show not always case. These highlighted implications future work exploring barriers routine cognitive an inpatient unit.
Schools are fundamental settings for health education and adolescent females an important group promoting positive breast habits. We surveyed 2089 schoolgirls (11-18 years) to provide evidence for, guidance on, schoolgirls. 26% reported negative feelings about their breasts 87% ≥ one concern. 72% wanted know more cancer (69% rating this extremely important). >50% sag pain. Preferred delivery format was age eleven (50%), girls only taught sessions (41%) with female teachers (43%). A need...

The shift from first to second order cybernetics has made the concept of therapist‐family system part everyday discourse family therapy. In spite this shift, there is little focus in therapy literature on emotional aspects system. Relevant process concepts available us at present, such as induction or accommodation, are poorly defined and inadequate. Three reasons for neglect explored. They are, firstly, more recent theoretical technical directions, secondly, politics gender thirdly,...

In areas where lifeguard services operate, less than 6% of all rescued persons need medical attention and require CPR. contrast, among no are provided almost 30% This difference indicates the importance is. Lifeguard work requires effective problem identification, diagnostic strategies management decisions to be made in high-risk environments time is essence. The purpose this investigation was assess variables involved related a water rescue, how information obtained could inform training...
To ensure the safety of staff and animals on farm, all medicines need to be stored in a safe place, labelled appropriately, kept at recommended temperature, transported carefully administered according manufacturers' instructions.
