Background: Return-to-work is a major goal achieved by fewer than 50% stroke survivors. Evidence on how to support return-to-work is lacking.

Aims: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Early Stroke Specialist Vocational Rehabilitation (ESSVR) plus usual care (UC) (i.

Recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors have emerged as prominent gene delivery vehicles for gene therapy. In the journey of an AAV vector, AAV vectors can be exposed to different proteolytic environments inside the production cells, during the cell lysis step, within the endosome, and finally inside the cell nucleus. The stability of a modified AAV serotype 2 (AAV2) capsid was evaluated via a proteolytic approach using trypsin and other proteases and both denaturing and non-denaturing analytical methods.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the practicality, validity, and responsiveness of the proxy Child Health Utility-9 Dimensions (CHU9D) in children aged 2 to 5 years.

Methods: We used data from the Barrier Enhancement for Eczema Prevention trial, a UK randomized controlled trial testing whether daily emollients in infancy could prevent eczema in high-risk infants. The main parent/carer completed the proxy CHU9D using developers' additional guidance for completion in those younger than 5 years and the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5 years.

  • Results showed that those receiving ESSVR got more support, lasting longer and better organized, while normal care had shorter and less effective help.
