Intensive Multidisciplinary Feeding Day Programs in the United States: A Report Regarding the Treatment Landscape.

Intensive multidisciplinary intervention is increasingly recognized as the standard of care for children with complex feeding problems. Much, however, remains unknown about this treatment model. This current qualitative, prospective study sought to identify intensive multidisciplinary day hospital programs operating in the US, describe the treatment approach, and summarize current capacity.

The effect of cystic echinococcosis (hydatid disease) on carcase weight in cattle in eastern Australia.

Cystic echinococcosis is caused by the zoonotic tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. There has been ongoing controversy over whether it causes weight loss in cattle. Recently implemented recording of comorbidities at processors has provided opportunity to investigate this effect.

Changes in Medical Charges Following Intensive Multidisciplinary Intervention for Pediatric Gastrostomy Tube Dependence.

Objective: Intensive multidisciplinary intervention (IMI) is the most evidence-based approach to treat pediatric feeding disorders. The goal of this exploratory study was to assess changes in health care charges for patients with gastrostomy tube dependence following participation in IMI compared to a waitlist control.

Methods: Medical charges were assessed for 9 families who participated in IMI compared to 6 control families on a multi-year waitlist for IMI.

Randomized trial of a self-administered parenting intervention for selective eating in young children.

Selective eating is a common childhood feeding problem associated with family stress and micronutrient deficiencies. While there are empirically-supported behavioral strategies for addressing selective eating, there are significant systems-level barriers to implementing them. The aim of this study was to develop and test a self-administered intervention for parents of children with selective eating.

Evaluation of Immunogenicity and Efficacy of Tetraspanin 2 (TSP2) Fused to Heat-Labile Enterotoxin B Subunit LTB Adjuvant Following Intranasal Vaccination of Cattle.

Fasciolosis, caused by the liver flukes and is an economically important and globally distributed zoonotic disease. Liver fluke infections in livestock cause significant losses in production and are of particular concern to regions where drug resistance is emerging. Antigens of the surface tegument represent promising vaccine candidates for controlling this disease.
