Occupational therapy practitioners have a unique and vital role among interprofessional health care teams toward facilitating occupational participation among breast cancer survivors. This study investigated the relationship between acute medicine occupational therapy services after breast cancer reconstructive surgeries (BCRS) and a number of prescription refills 90 days after surgery. This retrospective study ran binary logistic regression analyses on 562 women after BCRS for refills of opioid and non-opioid medication. Both models were statistically significant, χ(7df) = 23.001, = .002; χ(7df) = 32.312, < .001, indicating the ability to distinguish who received opioid or non-opioid refills, respectively. While younger age was a significant predictor across both models, occupational therapy was only significant for opioid refills; each was associated with fewer refills. Early occupational therapy treatment after BCRS is associated with fewer opioid prescriptions 90 days after surgery, therefore enhancing occupation throughout this timeframe is beneficial.

Background And Aim: (CM) and (AM) are medicinal mushrooms with potential applications in the treatment of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety. While research suggests that both CM and AM possess anti-inflammatory properties and hold potential for treating depression when administered separately, there is limited knowledge about their efficacy when combined in a formula, as well as the underlying mechanism involving the modulation of microglia.

Introduction: Infants born very preterm (VPT, <32 weeks' gestation) are at increased risk for neurodevelopmental impairments including motor, cognitive and behavioural delay. Parents of infants born VPT also have poorer mental health outcomes compared with parents of infants born at term.We have developed an intervention programme called TEDI-Prem (Telehealth for Early Developmental Intervention in babies born very preterm) based on previous research.
