This systematic review examines the literature published from January 2006 through April 2013 related to the effectiveness of Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) and sensory-based interventions (SBIs) within the scope of occupational therapy for people with autism spectrum disorder to improve performance in daily life activities and occupations. Of the 368 abstracts screened, 23 met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Moderate evidence was found to support the use of ASI. The results for sensory-based methods were mixed. Recommendations include performing higher level studies with larger samples, using the Fidelity Measure in studies of ASI, and using carefully operationalized definitions and systematic methods in examination of SBIs.

Minimizing the oxidation of lipids remains one of the most important challenges to extend the shelf-life of food products and reduce food waste. While most consumer products contain antioxidants, the most efficient strategy is to incorporate combinations of two or more compounds, boosting the total antioxidant capacity. Unfortunately, the reasons for observing synergistic / antagonistic / additive effects in food samples are still unclear, and it is common to observe very different responses even for similar mixtures.

Background: Minimum meal frequency (MMF) is a vital indicator of whether a child's energy needs are being met. Previous studies in Ethiopia on MMF have primarily focused on individual factors, often using basic logistic regression models with limited scope and small sample sizes. In contrast, this study aims to identify the key determinants of MMF among breastfed children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia, examining both individual and community-level factors through multilevel logistic regression analysis, utilizing nationally representative data.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: It was aimed to investigate the effects of Ayres Sensory Integration based intervention on balance, speech, and sensory processing skills of a 4-years and 11-month-old child with bilateral incomplete partition type 1 inner ear anomaly and using bilateral cochlear implant.
Method: The child received the Ayres sensory integration-based intervention program for 2 months in 45-minute sessions twice a week. Before and after the intervention, Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale, Categories of Auditory Performance-II for auditory perception evaluation, Test of Early Language Development -Third Edition, Speech intelligibility rating test for evaluating language-speech skills, Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration® (EASI), and Dunn Sensory Profile for sensory processing skills were used.

Article Synopsis
- Physical inactivity leads to insulin resistance and metabolic issues even before significant weight gain occurs.
- Exercise performed while fasting can enhance metabolic benefits compared to exercising after eating.
- In a study with animals, exercising while fasting resulted in lower plasma cholesterol and improved fat metabolism in brown adipose tissue, showing potential advantages of fasted exercise.

Article Synopsis
- The Health Services Provision Assessment in Ethiopia (SPA-ET) examines the availability and quality of health services, specifically looking at how well healthcare workers follow childhood illness management guidelines.
- The study's objective is to identify factors that affect healthcare workers' adherence to these guidelines and understand spatial patterns of adherence.
- Results indicate a 33% adherence rate and highlight key influencing factors, such as the child’s age, type of healthcare facility, and whether the location is urban or rural.
