Rehabilitation professionals' views on individual peer support interventions for assisting stroke survivors with reintegration into the community: a qualitative study.

Purpose: We aimed to explore stroke rehabilitation professionals' understanding and representations of peer support; the benefits they anticipated for patients; and the levers and barriers they perceived to implement the intervention in their practice.

Materials And Methods: This qualitative study comprised four focus groups with 21 rehabilitation professionals and four semi-structured interviews. It was held in a French hospital.

Studying both patient and staff experience to investigate their perceptions and to target key interactions to improve: a scoping review.

Objective: The improvement of patient experience (PE) is related to the experience of staff caring for them. Yet there is little evidence as to which interactions matter the most for both patients and staff, or how they are perceived by them. We aimed to summarise the interactions and the perceptions between patients and staff from studies by using both patient and staff experience data in healthcare institutions.

Stimulation of oral mucosal regeneration by low intensity pulsed ultrasound: an in vivo study in a porcine model.

Purpose: Many studies have shown the ability of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) to stimulate the bone, cartilage and tendon regeneration but only a few studied LIPUS interest in the regeneration of the oral mucosa. The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of LIPUS to stimulate the regeneration of the palatal mucosa in a porcine model.

Methods: Ten adults mini-pigs were used.

Involvement of glycated albumin in adipose-derived-stem cell-mediated interleukin 17 secreting T helper cell activation.

Background: Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are a marker of various diseases including diabetes, in which they participate to vascular damages such as retinopathy, nephropathy and coronaropathy. Besides those vascular complications, AGE are involved in altered metabolism in many tissues, including adipose tissue (AT) where they contribute to reduced glucose uptake and attenuation of insulin sensitivity. AGE are known to contribute to type 1 diabetes (T1D) through promotion of interleukin (IL)-17 secreting T helper (Th17) cells.

Repressive adaptation in a nonclinical sample: consistent and inconsistent reports of child psychosocial functioning across informants.

Using multiple indicators (self-report, parent report, school grades, and disciplinary referrals), we compared the psychosocial functioning of children across Weinberger's (1990) and Weinberger, Schwartz, and Davidson's (1979) repressive adaptive style (RAS) groups. Participants included 134 children ages 10 to 13 years that were recruited from public schools and 117 of their caregivers. Relative to nonrepressors, we hypothesized repressors to evidence lower levels of self-reported distress but higher parent-reported distress on the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC; Reynolds & Kamphaus, 1992).
