Measuring Community Integration: Development and Psychometrics of the Community Connections and Engagement Scale.

The objective of this community-based participatory research project was to develop a clinically useful, psychometrically-sound scale to measure community integration for adults with severe mental illness. Two researchers and an administrator of a behavioral health agency (BHA) recruited a group of providers, half with lived-experience of severe mental illness. Through a series of five focus groups, provider participants guided identification of four major domains of community integration and the development of 95 scale items; items and domains were reviewed by three external researchers with subject matter expertise.

Metastatic large intestinal adenocarcinoma in two rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).

Spontaneous colonic adenocarcinomas were diagnosed in two rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). Although both tumors caused partial obstruction of the colon, they were histologically different. One resembled the commonly described "napkin-ring" adenocarcinoma similar to those found in the descending and sigmoid colon of humans.

Stress reduction treatment of severe recurrent genital herpes virus.

Four individuals with high-frequency recurrences of genital herpes virus of at least 2 years' duration were treated with two behavioral stress-reduction treatments. Subjects were given 10 weekly sessions of frontalis EMG biofeedback (2 subjects) or progressive muscle relaxation treatment (2 subjects). Presession and postsession frontalis EMG measures were recorded for all subjects across treatment.
