To determine whether children with autism (CWA) would selectively imitate intentional, as opposed to accidental actions, an experimenter demonstrated either an "intentional" and an "accidental" action or two "intentional" actions on the same toy [Carpenter, Akhtar, & Tomasello (1998a) Infant Behavior and Development, 21, 315-330]. CWA tended to imitate the experimenter exactly. Children with developmental delay and older typically developing children (TD) reproduced only the intentional action as often as they imitated the experimenter exactly. Younger TD mostly produced only the intentional action. It is concluded that, contrary to comparison groups, the CWA did not show an appreciation of the model's intentions. Results are discussed in terms of theories of social cognition.

Implementation strategies of fall prevention interventions in hospitals: a systematic review.
BMJ Open Qual
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Division of Nursing Science, Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: The effectiveness of implementing fall prevention interventions (FPI) among hospitalised adults exhibits variability. Our review explored implementation strategies for FPIs, how these strategies are operationalised and their impact on fall rates and adherence.
Methods: Databases were searched up to October 2024 for studies reporting the implementation of FPIs in hospitalised adults.

Spiders of the genus represent a public health problem in Brazil due to the severity of the cutaneous and systemic effects that may result from their bite. In the systemic form of loxoscelism, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation can occur. Despite the seriousness of accidents, the venom of some species has not yet been properly characterized considering these hemotoxic effects, such as that of , , and .

The formation of protein aggregates, which can be immunogenic and lower the efficacy and safety of protein drugs, has been an issue in biopharmaceutical development for more than a decade. Although protein drugs are often shipped as frozen material, the effect of the accidental dropping of frozen proteins, which can occur during shipping and handling, on the physical stability has not been studied. Here, a frozen Fc fusion protein was subjected to dropping stress and the increase in the aggregate concentration was evaluated.

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Greater New York Hospital Association held 3 workshops and 2 follow-up meetings with hospital emergency managers and colleagues to determine hospitals' response actions to a scenario of a 10-kiloton improvised nuclear device detonation. The scenario incorporated 3 zones of damage (moderate, light, and beyond damage zones) and covered the period of 0 to 72 hours postdetonation divided into 3 24-hour operational periods. The Joint Commission's critical emergency areas were used to determine the objectives and response actions that would be initiated.
