Therapeutic Dance for the Healing of Sexual Trauma: A Systematic Review.

Therapeutic dance has been increasingly used as a treatment modality for sexual trauma, yet its evidence-based efficacy has not yet been catalogued. We therefore conducted a systematic review to summarize the existing evidence for therapeutic dance as an intervention for healing after sexual trauma. We searched 5 major databases to identify intervention studies on the use of therapeutic dance for individuals with histories of sexual trauma.

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Outcomes in Fontan Patients With Right Versus Left Single Ventricle Morphology.

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) palliated with Fontan surgery often result in a functional single ventricle that is either a morphologically right or left ventricle, and much less commonly undefined. Given this departure from normal physiology, especially for systemic right ventricle Fontan patients, our study sought to compare cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) results of adult patients with single right ventricle (SRV) and single left ventricle (SLV) morphology. Of 237 Fontan patients from the Ahmanson/UCLA Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center database, 135 patients met the inclusion criteria and were split into 2 groups: SRV (n = 44) and SLV (n = 91).

Early Intranasal Vasopressin Administration Impairs Partner Preference in Adult Male Prairie Voles ().

Research supports a modulatory role for arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the expression of socially motivated behaviors in mammals. The acute effects of AVP administration are demonstrably pro-social across species, providing the justification for an ever-increasing measure of clinical interest over the last decade. Combining these results with non-invasive intranasal delivery results in an attractive system for offering intranasal AVP (IN-AVP) as a therapeutic for the social impairments of children with autism spectrum disorder.
