The impact of the "Attachment and Biobehavioural Catch-Up" program on attachment related parent behavior-A systematic review.

"Attachment and Biobehavioural Catch-Up" (ABC) is a 10 session home visiting program, grounded in attachment theory. It aims to improve child emotion regulation, attachment and behavioral outcomes through changing caregivers' attachment related behaviors. There is increasing evidence with respect to the effectiveness of ABC in producing positive child outcomes, but the intervention's direct effect on parent outcomes remains unclear.

Process-relevant concentrations of the leachable bDtBPP impact negatively on CHO cell production characteristics.

The biopharmaceutical industry has invested considerably in the implementation of single-use disposable bioreactors in place of or in addition to their stainless steel-counterparts. This new wave of construction materials for disposable bioprocess containers encompass a plethora of uncharacterized secondary compounds that, when in contact with the culture media, can leach, contaminating the bioprocess. One such cytotoxic leachable already receiving attention is bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)-phosphate (bDtBPP), a breakdown product of the secondary antioxidant Irgafos 168 in polyethylene-film based bags.

Developing a Very Low Vision Orientation and Mobility Test Battery (O&M-VLV).

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the feasibility of an assessment of vision-related orientation and mobility (O&M) tasks in persons with severe vision loss. These tasks may be used for future low vision rehabilitation clinical assessments or as outcome measures in vision restoration trials.

Methods: Forty legally blind persons (mean visual acuity logMAR 2.

Rasch Analysis of the Independent Mobility Questionnaire.

Purpose: The Independent Mobility Questionnaire (IMQ) assesses participants' perceived ability for independent mobility. However, it has not been validated in a severely visually impaired population. The aim of this study was to explore the IMQ's psychometric properties in participants with severe visual impairment.

Developing an instrumental activities of daily living tool as part of the low vision assessment of daily activities protocol.

Purpose: To determine the validity, reliability, and measurement characteristics using factor and Rasch analysis of the Very Low Vision Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL-VLV) in persons with severe vision loss.

Methods: From an initial pool of 296 tasks, 25 were shortlisted after conducting a Delphi survey with persons designated legally blind. Using further input from occupational therapy and low-vision professionals, 11 activities were chosen to be pilot tested.

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation following botulinum toxin and other focal intramuscular treatment for post-stroke spasticity.

Background: Spasticity may affect stroke survivors by contributing to activity limitations, caregiver burden, pain and reduced quality of life (QoL). Spasticity management guidelines recommend multidisciplinary (MD) rehabilitation programmes following botulinum toxin (BoNT) treatment for post-stroke spasticity. However, the evidence base for the effectiveness of MD rehabilitation is unclear.
