Design, evaluation, and in vitro-in vivo correlation of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems to improve the oral absorption of exenatide.

The ability to predict the absorption of exenatide (Ex), a GLP-1 analogue, after oral dosing to rats in self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), using in vitro methods, was assessed. Ex was complexed with soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) prior to loading into SNEDDS. A design of experiments (DoE) approach was employed to develop SNEDDS incorporating medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), medium-chain mono- and diglycerides (MGDG), Kolliphor® RH40, and monoacyl phosphatidylcholine.

Employing survival analysis of administrative claims to identify prospective predictors of evidence-based practice sustainment versus provider turnover.

Objective: This study described therapists' delivery of six child mental health evidence-based practices (EBPs) over 33 months during the sustainment phase of a system-driven implementation aimed at improving access to EBPs in community settings.

Method: Seven hundred seventy-seven therapists and 162 program leaders delivering at least one of six EBPs of interest completed surveys, and these data were matched to therapist administrative claims data. Survival analyses examined (a) therapists' discontinuation of delivery of all Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health direct client services (i.

Therapist-Reported Adaptations to an Autism Intervention: Family-Level Predictors and Associations with Fidelity.

The purpose of this study was to: (1) confirm the factor structure of a therapist-report measure of adaptations to an autism evidence-based intervention (EBI), (2) identify predictors of adaptation types, and (3) examine associations of adaptation types with observed therapist fidelity. Participants included a subset of therapists (N = 70; 31.4% Hispanic), autistic children (N = 79; ages 5-13 years; 57.

A suboptimal OCT4-SOX2 binding site facilitates the naïve-state specific function of a Klf4 enhancer.

Enhancers have critical functions in the precise, spatiotemporal control of transcription during development. It is thought that enhancer grammar, or the characteristics and arrangements of transcription factor binding sites, underlie the specific functions of developmental enhancers. In this study, we sought to identify grammatical constraints that direct enhancer activity in the naïve state of pluripotency, focusing on the enhancers for the naïve-state specific gene, Klf4.

Validating a Pragmatic Measure of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Delivery: Therapist Reports of EBP Strategy Delivery and Associations with Child Outcome Trajectories.

Pragmatic measures of evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation can support and evaluate implementation efforts. We examined the predictive validity of therapist reports of EBP strategy delivery for children's mental health outcomes. Data were obtained from 1,380 sessions with 248 children delivered by 76 therapists in two county systems.
