Objective: The current study discusses the development and preliminary validation of an observational measure of caregivers' distress-promoting behavior (OUCHIE-RV) in the context of toddler routine vaccination.
Methods: Measure validation was based on a sample of caregiver-toddler dyads (N = 223) from a longitudinal cohort-sequential study who were observed during toddlers' 12-, 18-, or 24-month routine vaccinations. Validity was assessed using correlations and cross-lagged path analysis and associations were tested between OUCHIE-RV composite scores and toddlers' pain-related distress as well as caregivers' state anxiety, soothing behaviors, heart rate, and heart rate variability. Interrater reliability was examined using intraclass correlations (ICC) and kappa coefficients.
Results: Results of a cross-lagged path analysis indicated positive concurrent (β = .27 to β = .37) and cross-lagged predictive associations (β = .01 to β = .34) between OUCHIE-RV composite scores (reflecting the frequency and intensity of caregivers' distress-promoting behavior) and toddlers' pain-related distress. OUCHIE-RV composite scores were negatively associated with caregivers' concurrent use of physical comfort (r = -.34 to -.24) and rocking (r = -.36 to -.19) and showed minimal associations with caregivers' use of verbal reassurance (r = .06 to .12), state anxiety (r = -.02 to r = .09), heart rate (r = -.15 to r = .05), and heart rate variability (r = -.04 to r = .13). Interrater reliability was strong (Cohen's k = .86 to .97, ICC = .77 to .85).
Conclusions: Findings provide support for the validity and reliability of the OUCHIE-RV as a research tool for measuring caregiver behaviors that promote toddlers' pain-related distress during routine vaccinations and contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of caregiver-toddler interaction in acute pain contexts.

Background: The effect of high consumption of psychoactive substances of codeine (CDE), tramadol (TMD), and Cannabis sativa (CNB) as concoction has been associated with altered brain cognitive and neurochemical functions. However, the understanding of the complex mechanism behind the intake of Cannabis sativa co-administration with tramadol and codeine on both cardiac and brain function, neurotransmitters, purinergic, and antioxidant enzymes activities in the brain and heart of rats remains unreported.
Method: The measure of cognition using morris water maze (MWM) and Y-maze tests, hemodynamic parameters namely systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyl-cholinesterase (BCHE), adenosine deaminase (ADA), arginase, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes' activities, reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) levels, in the brain and heart of CNB, TMD, and CDE exposed rats was done.

Background: Aerobic exercise may positively affect brain health, although relationships with cognitive change are mixed. This likely is due to individual differences in the systemic physiological response to exercise. However, the acute effects of exercise on brain metabolism and biomarker responses are not well characterized in older adults or cognitively impaired individuals.

Background: Responses to individualized music in people living with dementia can be indicated by both verbal and non-verbal cues. Evidence suggests that elevated pupil dilation responses to familiar vs. unfamiliar music are preserved in people living with typical Alzheimer's disease (tAD), and to an extent in people with its atypical 'visual' variant (Posterior Cortical Atrophy; PCA) (Brotherhood et al.

Background: Changes in sleep patterns are common in Alzheimer's disease and impact the quality of life of both people living with Alzheimer's (PLWA) and their caregivers. Longitudinal recordings and assessment of night-to-night variations in sleep and physiology can improve our understanding of how sleep influences clinical outcomes and caregiver wellbeing.
Method: We collected sleep diary and contactless sleep technology data (Withings sleep analyser, WSA) in community dwelling PLWA (N = 16, Age = 72.

Background: Sleep patterns and disruptions may associate with increased dementia risk and contribute to its progression and cognitive decline. Understanding the complexity of the sleep-dementia relationship is crucial for developing interventions that may delay cognitive decline and enhance the well-being of individuals with dementia. This study seeks to explore how the sleeping patterns of patients with dementia impact them and aims to provide insights to help improve the sleep patterns of individuals affected by dementia.
