AI Article Synopsis
- Geiger, Carr, and LeBlanc (2010) created a decision-making model aimed at helping professionals choose treatments for escape-maintained problem behaviors.
- A digital survey tested how useful this model is by having both novice and expert practitioners evaluate hypothetical treatment scenarios, some with the model provided and others relying on their own judgment.
- Results showed that experts were better at choosing the right treatment without the model compared to novices, and using the model didn’t improve experts' decision-making compared to relying on their experience.
Article Abstract
Geiger, Carr, and LeBlanc (2010) developed a decision-making model for escape-maintained problem behavior that could be used to guide the course of treatment selection. We used a digital survey to evaluate the model's potential usefulness. We presented novice and expert practitioners' written hypothetical scenarios and asked them to determine the optimal treatment in a given situation. Some participants were given the model, whereas others were instructed to use their best clinical judgment. Using logistic regression analyses, the general findings for our scenarios were the following: (a) experts without the aid of a decision model had better odds of selecting the optimal treatment than novices without the decision model, (b) experts with the decision model did not have greater odds of selecting optimal treatment than experts without the model, and

Clinical Study of Intradermal Injection of Non-Crosslinked Sodium Hyaluronate Combined With Human Epidermal Growth Factor in the Treatment of Skin Barrier Injury in Plateau Area.

Background: The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau's high-altitude setting is characterized by intense solar ultraviolet radiation, a significant environmental stressor that frequently leads to skin barrier damage. This damage presents clinically as erythema, itching, and desquamation, underscoring the need for effective reparative interventions.
Aims: The objective of this study was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of a novel treatment protocol that integrates non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) injection with microneedle application of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) for the restoration of skin barrier function in regions of high altitude.

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, with more than 1.9 million new cases reported in 2020, and is associated with major survival challenges, particularly in patients with locally advanced colon cancer (LACC). LACC often involves T4 invasion or extensive nodal involvement and requires a multidisciplinary approach for management.

Escitalopram is commonly prescribed for depressive and anxiety disorders in elderly patients, who often show variable drug responses and face higher risks of side effects due to age-related changes in organ function. The CYP2C19 polymorphism may further affect escitalopram pharmacokinetics in elderly patients, complicating dose optimization for this group. Previous pharmacogenetic studies examining the impact of CYP2C19 phenotype on escitalopram treatment outcomes have primarily focused on younger adults, leaving a gap in understanding its effects on the elderly.

Whole-mount hybridization (WISH) is a widely used method that supports the concept of "seeing is believing" by enabling the visualization of gene expression patterns in whole-mount multicellular samples or sections. This technique is essential in the study of epimorphic regeneration in cold-blooded vertebrates, where complex three-dimensional organs such as tails, limbs, and eyes are completely restored after loss. The tadpoles of the frog serve as a convenient model for studying regeneration, as they can regenerate their tails within a week after amputation.

Background: Tacrolimus, a topical calcineurin inhibitor (TCI) with immunomodulatory effects, is considered a viable treatment option for vitiligo. A consensus building exercise was undertaken to determine the role and clinical utility of topical tacrolimus in the management of vitiligo using input from experts in the field of dermatology.
Methods: Seventeen experts collaborated to create consensus statements using a modified Delphi methodology.
