Practices for promoting a child's best interests in paediatric rehabilitation - Perspectives of professionals and parents.

Practices for promoting a child's best interests in rehabilitation are not sufficiently understood. This study describes the practices from the perspectives of professionals and parents of children with disabilities. We conducted 11 interviews: 5 in focus groups with professionals ( = 27 [69%]), 3 with parents ( = 9 [23%]), and 3 individual interviews of paediatric neurologists ( = 3 [8%]).

Effects of rodent abundance on ticks and Borrelia: results from an experimental and observational study in an island system.

Background: Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne disease in Europe and is often caused by Borrelia afzelii, which is transmitted by Ixodes ricinus ticks. The prevalence and abundance of infected ticks fluctuate in time and space, influencing human infection risk. Rodents are reservoir hosts for B.

Insertion Results and Hearing Outcomes of a Slim Lateral Wall Electrode.

Background: The clinical outcomes of cochlear implantation vary for several reasons. It is necessary to study the different electrodes and variables for further development. The aim of this study is to report the clinical outcomes of a new slim lateral wall electrode (SlimJ).

Identifying breeding hosts of Ixodes ricinus ticks using stable isotope analysis of their larvae - Proof of concept.

Ticks are important vectors of zoonotic pathogens. Ticks are parasites that are dependent on their hosts for blood meal to develop and reproduce. The abundance of ticks is dependent on the availability of suitable breeding hosts, often medium- and large-sized mammals.
