Increasing the tolerance of mothers with children with autism: the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness - experimental research.

Introduction And Importance: Autism spectrum disorder significantly impacts the life and psychosocial health of the family, resulting in high levels of anxiety, stress, isolation, and indecisiveness among parents. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness in increasing the tolerance of mothers of children with autism.

Case Presentation: The study used a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group.

A comparative double-blind randomized study on the effectiveness of Duloxetine and Gabapentin on painful diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy.

The most common cause of polyneuropathy is diabetes mellitus. Neuropathic pain is seen in 26% of diabetic population. Therapeutic techniques for this disease can become challenging.

Hemodynamics and prognosis after primary cardiac resynchronization system implantation compared to "upgrade" procedures.

Introduction: Left bundle brunch block (LBBB) and right ventricular stimulation (RVS) may be associated with asynchrony and heart failure. Differences between these two entities and their response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are not well defined.

Methods: Patients receiving CRT from 1999 to 2006 were analyzed for cardiac events and prognosis separated between primary implants for LBBB (n = 221) and upgrades from RVS (n = 107).

Reversing cardiac resynchronization therapy non-responder status in a patient with a surgically placed epicardial left ventricular lead by switching to an active fixation coronary sinus lead.

This report describes the reversal of a cardiac resynchronization therapy non-responder status in a patient with a surgically placed left ventricular lead by the use of a newly available active fixation coronary sinus lead.

Coronary sinus lead fragmentation 2 years after implantation with a retained guidewire.

Cardiac Resynchronization therapy (CRT) using coronary sinus (CS) leads is an established method for the therapy of congestive heart failure (CHF) in the case of inter- and intraventricular conduction delays. However implantation of CS leads is somewhat challenging due to a high number of peri- or postoperative dislocations at a rate of about 10%. The retained guidewire technique has been proposed for the implantation of coronary sinus leads for stabilization in case of repetitive intraoperative dislocations.
