Importance: No single cognitive screen adequately captures the cognitive domains needed for inpatient occupational therapy treatment planning.
Objective: To assess the construct validity of the Gaylord Occupational Therapy Cognitive (GOT-Cog©) screen, a novel comprehensive cognitive screen that evaluates functional cognition.
Design: Randomized crossover controlled study design using the St.
Article Synopsis
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can lead to problems with blood vessel function, increasing the risk of heart issues, and hot water immersion (HWI) might help improve this, though research is limited.
- A study with 14 participants assessed the effects of 8-10 sessions of HWI, measuring various heart and blood vessel functions before and after the treatment.
- Results showed significant reductions in cardiac index, stroke volume index, resting heart rate, and systolic blood pressure, suggesting HWI could benefit heart-related measures in T2DM, but it didn’t improve overall vascular function.
Article Synopsis
- A modified Control-IQ system for managing type 1 diabetes was tested in adults, adolescents, children, and preschoolers across a multicenter trial to evaluate the effects of a lower treatment range and a new late bolus feature.
- The study involved 72 participants who used two different treatment ranges (standard and lower) for two weeks each, with meal challenges performed to assess the new bolus feature.
- Results showed that using the lower treatment range significantly improved time in range (TIR) and time in tight range (TITR) for managing glucose levels, with no severe complications reported.
Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders involve abberant connections between cranial nerves, often resulting in synkinetic activation of target muscles. Marcus-Gunn jaw winking ptosis and Duane retraction syndrome are some of the more well-known examples of this phenomenon. We present serial video of a child with congenital trigemino-abducens synkinesis, a lesser known congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder, to demonstrate the characteristics of this likely under-diagnosed presentation.

Methods: Changes in reimbursement rates were measured for 35 commonly used gender-affirming procedure CPT codes from 2007 to 2020 adjusted for inflation to the 2020 US dollar value.
