Article Synopsis
  • VR-JIT and VIT-TAY programs showed potential in boosting employment for youth with disabilities who are receiving pre-employment services.
  • The preparation for implementing these programs in schools incurred costs, averaging about $1,427 per school for labor and an additional $100 per trainee.
  • Delivery planning and teacher training were the major expenses, signaling that preparation costs could hinder the adoption of these important employment interventions in the future.

Background And Objectives: GM2 gangliosidoses, a group of autosomal-recessive neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders, result from β-hexosaminidase (HEX) deficiency with GM2 ganglioside as its main substrate. Historically, GM2 gangliosidoses have been classified into infantile, juvenile, and late-onset forms. With disease-modifying treatment trials now on the horizon, a more fine-grained understanding of the disease course is needed.

Efficacy and safety of miglustat in the treatment of GM2 gangliosidosis: A systematic review.

Eur J Neurol

September 2023

Pediatric Neurology Division, Department of Pediatrics, Children's Medical Center, Pediatric Center of Excellence, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Background: Since the results of previous studies regarding the safety and efficacy of miglustat in GM2 gangliosidosis (GM2g) were inconsistent, we aimed to assess miglustat therapy in GM2g patients.

Methods: This study followed the latest version of PRISMA. We included the observational or interventional studies reporting GM2g patients under miglustat therapy by searching PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus.

The spawning and larval culture of cowrie (family Cypraeidae) are both difficult and little known, in part due to the long planktonic period of most species. In this study, we describe the captive spawning behaviour and larval development of two tropical cowrie species, and . Both species brooded over their egg masses before hatching occurred and larvae were collected for culture under laboratory conditions.
