The aim was to examine the effects of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation of attention in work-active patients after stroke. The study included 11 patients treated as inpatients at the University Rehabilitation Institute, Republic of Slovenia, who were included in intensive selective attention training four times a week for 3 months. Each patient was assessed at the initial and the final rehabilitation stage with the TAP system (Test of Attentional Performance), alertness, and divided attention tasks. The results indicate a moderate to strong increase in performance on the divided attention test and a mild effect on the alertness test. Early cognitive rehabilitation of the attentional system can contribute toward recovery of divided attention in work-active patients after stroke.

Due to the environmental challenges of petroleum-based packaging, new biodegradable and active food packaging has garnered significant attention. In this work, active films were generated with xylan/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the film-forming matrix, combined with ginger essential oil nanoemulsions (GEO-NEs) at varying concentrations (2.0 %, 4.

Objectives: To determine the clinical effectiveness of screening tests for physical abuse in children attending accident and emergency (A&E) departments in the UK.
Data Sources: Searches were limited to studies published after 1974 and were carried out from August 2004 to October 2006 using the following methods: searching electronic databases, searching the publications catalogue of the NSPCC, scanning reference lists, hand-searching journals, searching the internet, approaching professional contacts for unpublished data, and searching in three key journals.
Review Methods: A simple decision-analytic model was used to integrate the findings of nine systematic reviews regarding the incidence of physical abuse, the characteristics of children attending A&E, and the performance of screening tests for physical abuse.

The inhibitory component of selective attention has been compared in young (7-8 weeks) and older (9-10 months) female mice using the latent inhibition (LI) paradigm. LI consists of retardation in conditioning to a stimulus as a consequence of its prior non-reinforced pre-exposure. In the present work, active avoidance of an electric footshock signaled with a sound was used.
