Background/aim: Previous work in rodent models showed that an autologous tissue vaccine is both a safe and effective approach for treating cancer; however, as a translational step, safety must first be evaluated in a more clinically-relevant model.
Materials And Methods: An autologous immunotherapy produced from resected tumors, was evaluated in a clinically-relevant canine model to assess safety. Ninety-three dogs with spontaneously occurring tumors received vaccination with inactivated autologous tumor tissue combined with an adjuvant of particulate porcine small intestinal submucosa extracellular matrix (SIS-ECM).
Objectives: This study evaluated a health-related physical education program for fourth- and fifth-grade students designed to increase physical activity during physical education classes and outside of school.
Methods: Seven schools were assigned to three conditions in a quasi-experimental design. Health-related physical education was taught by physical education specialists or trained classroom teachers.
The primary responsibility for engaging children in opportunities to be physically active and learn physical skills rests with school physical education. This study evaluated the effects of a combined health-related curriculum and inservice program on the quantity and quality of elementary school physical education lessons. Seven schools (N = 28 fourth-grade classes) in one district were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: 10 classes were taught in their usual manner by classroom teachers (Control [CO]); 10 classes were taught by trained classroom teachers (TT) who received inservice training and follow-up consultations; and 8 classes were taught by physical education specialists (PES) hired by the research project.
