Conservative interventions for treating work-related complaints of the arm, neck or shoulder in adults.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
December 2013
Department of General Practice, Erasmus Medical Center, PO Box 2040, Rotterdam, Netherlands, 3000 CA.
Background: Work-related upper limb disorder (WRULD), repetitive strain injury (RSI), occupational overuse syndrome (OOS) and work-related complaints of the arm, neck or shoulder (CANS) are the most frequently used umbrella terms for disorders that develop as a result of repetitive movements, awkward postures and impact of external forces such as those associated with operating vibrating tools. Work-related CANS, which is the term we use in this review, severely hampers the working population.
Objectives: To assess the effects of conservative interventions for work-related complaints of the arm, neck or shoulder (CANS) in adults on pain, function and work-related outcomes.
Executive functioning in individuals with a history of ASDs who have achieved optimal outcomes.
Child Neuropsychol
June 2014
a Department of Psychology , University of Connecticut, Storrs , Connecticut , USA.
Executive functioning (EF) is examined among children and adolescents once diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but who no longer meet diagnostic criteria. These individuals have average social and language skills, receive minimal school support and are considered to have achieved "optimal outcomes" (OOs). Since residual impairments in these individuals might be expected in deficits central to autism, and in developmentally advanced skills, EF was examined in 34 individuals who achieved OOs, 43 individuals with high-functioning autism (HFA), and 34 typically developing (TD) peers.

Objective: The project aimed to search for online evidence in a structured way in consultation with the patient, to investigate whether the evidence discovered changed decisions.
