A three-years follow-up of extra intensive support for individuals with intellectual disability and severe challenging behaviour in the Netherlands.

Adults with Intellectual Disability who show severe challenging behaviour need intensive individual support. If intensive support proves to be insufficient, extra intensive support can be provided in the Netherlands, which is characterized by more time for individual care. The present study evaluates the impact of extra intensive support over time.

Liquid chromatography of sugars on silica-based stationary phases.

A review is given of sugar analysis by liquid chromatography using silica columns. Aspects covered are column materials and preparation, chemically and physically modified amine columns, octadecyl-and unmodified silica columns; eluent composition and elution mechanisms for the different types of columns used; detection methods, RI and UV detectors, visible light, fluorescence, moving-wire, polarimetric and mass detection; and sample preparation and origin of samples.
