Objectives: Actual use of nicotine pouch products is not well studied. The objectives this study were to characterize on ® (Test Products (TP)) behavior, including association with cigarette and smokeless tobacco (ST) product use. Methods: Adults who smoke cigarettes (AS) and/or adults ST (ASTU) (N=1147) that planning quit had expressed interest in trying using TP after a 5-day trial offered ad libitum TPs (7 flavors at 5 levels) for 6 weeks. Results: Participants used median ~5-6...
Develop and user-test a patient decision aid about selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) surgery for carers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) clinicians treating CP. This study utilised mixed-methods design. Stage One developed the prototype. Two recruited to focus groups/semi-structured interviews review Three was an iterative cycle redrafts based on feedback from input SDR Advisory Consumer Groups. Four assessed acceptability Decision Aid via questionnaire. A prototype reviewed by 13 8...
Abstract Purpose Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a neurosurgical treatment used worldwide to reduce spasticity. The procedure has undergone many changes since its introduction in the early 1900s, and currently, different centers vary aspects of procedure. We surveyed on continents regarding SDR indications, surgical techniques, postoperative rehabilitation. Methods Ten with experience participated an online survey preparing for pre-conference workshop 2022. main topics were patient...
Background Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a neurosurgical procedure that reduces lower limb spasticity, performed in some children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Effective pain management after SDR essential for early rehabilitation. This study aimed to describe the anaesthetic and management, adverse events following SDR. Methods was retrospective cohort study. Participants were all who underwent at single Australian tertiary hospital between 2010 2020. Electronic medical...
To outline the development and examine content construct validity of a new tool, Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy Functional Impact Scale (D-FIS), which measures impact dyskinesia on everyday activities in children with cerebral palsy (CP).D-FIS was informed by systematic review outcome measures, collaboration dyskinetic CP, parents, caregivers, expert clinicians. The D-FIS uses parent proxy to rate activities. Construct determined examining internal consistency; known groups Gross Motor Function...
Biocontrol, including Natural Substances can offer a balanced solution for problems caused by the widespread use of conventional chemical pesticides. Potential harmful side-effects many pesticides are becoming increasingly clear, in terms potential effects on non-target organisms, environmental pollution, worker safety and pest resistance. Concurrently, there is awareness that modern agriculture needs to grow crops even more sustainably. To maintain human safety, biocontrol substances used...
Aim Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a neurosurgical intervention used to reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). There minimal relevant, evidence‐based information available for Australian families and clinicians. This study aims investigate the knowledge of people lived experience clinicians regarding SDR, including how they currently access what seek. Methods Adults CP, carers CP treating were invited complete an online survey. Data participant demographics, current...
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the comparative value cigarettes versus high dose e-cigarettes among nicotine-dependent cigarette smokers when compared with money or use their usual brand. used a within-subject design four sessions. After baseline assessment, participants attended two 15-min unrestricted smoking sessions: one session and e-cigarette session. Participants then multiple-choice procedure (MCP) comparing money. (n=27) had regularly, never e-cigarettes, were not...
Introduction Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a neurosurgical intervention intended to permanently reduce spasticity in the lower limbs and improve mobility selected children with cerebral palsy (CP). Despite SDR having been performed worldwide for past 30 years, there moderate quality of evidence that effective reducing low very its effectiveness improving gait, function participation, using Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluations (GRADE) system. Published studies...
Purpose: To investigate the effects of intrathecal baclofen therapy (ITB) on health-related quality life for children with cerebral palsy and neurological conditions.Method: This study is part a longitudinal, multicentre audit. The primary outcome measure, Caregiver Priorities Child Health Index Life Disabilities, was completed at baseline, 6 12 months post ITB implant.Results: Forty subjects other conditions demonstrated significant improvement in aspects following therapy, mean change 42.3...
Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a neurosurgical intervention to reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Parents researching SDR for their child may be influenced by framing of news media articles they read. This study examined English-language media.Content analysis including the search term 'rhizotomy' Factiva database published July 2015 2018 online or print form Canada, New Zealand, Australia, United States America and Kingdom.One hundred eighty-six were identified...
Objectives: Blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT) has been proposed as a method to enhance rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, paucity of data exists support the use BFRT in clinical practice. The purpose this study is determine if early application BFRT, used with low-weight exercises, increases quadriceps strength, and functional outcomes ACLR compared traditional protocol without BFRT. Methods: Twenty-six patients undergoing were randomized...
The aim of this study is to describe the individualized occupational performance issues identified by parents/carers and children prior selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) surgery analyse change up 2 years post in goal attainment quality life (QoL).The Australian SDR Research Registry (trial registration: ACTRN12618000985280) was used extract data for goals, QoL based on Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) Cerebral Palsy Quality Life Questionnaire Children (CP QOL-Child...

Abstract The development of effective scale squeeze inhibitors in tight carbonate reservoirs with permeability less than 5md is still a big challenge, especially for high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and temperature wells. formation damage one the major considerations TDS, temperature, as it can be caused due to fines mobilization, reservoir dissolution collapse, inhibitor compatibility issues. For any application, product must also demonstrate good inhibition performance, long life accurate...
Abstract Background Oral tobacco-derived nicotine (OTDN) products are a rapidly emerging, innovative category of noncombustible tobacco products. These tobacco-leaf free and do not contain or generate many the harmful potentially constituents (HPHCs) found in combustible cigarettes smokeless (ST) OTDN may therefore offer adult consumers reduced harm alternative. However, little is known about product use patterns their ability to substitute for more products.Methods We conducted an...
