Sphincter pupillae is initially spared but complete iris atrophy may develop.Purpose Recent findings in preschool children indicated novel adjective recall was enhanced when learned using repeated retrieval with contextual reinstatement (RRCR) compared to repeated study (RS). Recall was similar for learned pictures used during training and new (generalized) pictures with the same adjective features. The current study compared the effects of learning method and learned/generalized pictures on the neural processes mediating the recognition of novel adjectives. Method Twenty typically developing children aged 4;6-5;11 (years;months) learned four novel adjectives, two using RRCR and two using RS. Five-minute and 1-week tests assessed adjective recall using learned and generalized pictures. Also, at the 1-week visit, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded to assess children's processing of learned/generalized pictures, followed by naturally spoken novel adjectives in a match-mismatch paradigm. Results Naming recall and match-mismatch judgment accuracy were similar for the RS and RRCR conditions and across learned/generalized pictures. However, ERPs revealed more reliable condition effects in the phonological mapping negativity, indexing phonological expectations, and the late positive component, indexing semantic reanalysis, for the adjectives learned in the RRCR relative to the RS condition. Unfamiliar pictures (generalized) elicited larger amplitude N300 and N400 components relative to learned pictures. Conclusions Although behavioral accuracy measures suggest similar effects of the RS and RRCR learning conditions, subtle differences in the ERPs underlying novel adjective processing indicate advantages of RRCR for phonological processing and semantic reanalysis. While children readily generalized the novel adjectives, ERPs revealed greater cognitive resources for processing unfamiliar compared to learned pictures of the novel adjective characteristics.

Although people who sustain a stroke can experience sexual difficulties, few address them during rehabilitation.

Explore the feasibility of implementing a Sexuality Interview Guide (SIG) in stroke rehabilitation and describe the factors perceived as influencing its implementation.

Using a mixed research design, the SIG was implemented for four months in a rehabilitation hospital. The frequency with which clinicians addressed sexuality and their level of comfort pre-post implementation was measured. Perceived factors influencing implementation were determined through individual interviews and focus groups with five stroke clients, 15 clinicians and a coordinator. A paired-specimen Wilcoxon test was used to explore differences in pre- post-level of comfort. Qualitative data was analyzed by two independent evaluators using thematic analysis.

The SIG was used 28 times and clinicians' level of comfort in addressing sexuality improved significantly (
 = 0.001). The factors perceived as influencing implemenors in integrating sexuality into clinical practices.
This study showed that the SIG can be used in stroke rehabilitation and that, with sufficient financial and human resources, and training for clinicians, it would be feasible to implement it in usual care. Implications for rehabilitation The Sexuality Interview Guide (SIG) can be used in stroke rehabilitation and helps clinicians to target stroke clients who want to include sexuality in their rehabilitation. The best time to approach sexuality using the SIG, according to all participants, was in outpatient rehabilitation. For inpatient clients, it was more appropriate to use the SIG as they approach a weekend home trial or rehabilitation discharge. Training for clinicians working in post-stroke sexual rehabilitation, administrative policies and procedures and access to a sexual health specialist for consultation or referral purpose, would be important facilitators in integrating sexuality into clinical practices.Purpose To report a case of immune recovery uveitis (IRU) secondary to cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in a patient with Good syndrome treated with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF).Methods A case report.Case A 54-year-old woman with a history of Good syndrome for 2 years presented with chronic panuveitis in her right eye for 6 months. She had received multiple doses of GCSF for a pulmonary infection. Her visual acuity was hand movement in the right eye. Few anterior chamber cells, dense vitreous haze, and chorioretinal lesions were noted. Granular retinal atrophic lesions without obvious infiltration were observed during diagnostic vitrectomy. MEK inhibitor Polymerase chain reaction of the vitreous sample was positive for CMV DNA. A diagnosis of IRU secondary to CMV retinitis was made. The inflammation was controlled with topical steroids after surgery.Summary In this report, we present a patient with Good syndrome who developed IRU secondary to CMV retinitis.Classically, skin was considered a mere structural barrier protecting organisms from a diversity of environmental insults. In recent decades, the cutaneous immune system has become recognized as a complex immunologic barrier involved in both antimicrobial immunity and homeostatic processes like wound healing. To sense a variety of chemical, mechanical, and thermal stimuli, the skin harbors one of the most sophisticated sensory networks in the body. However, recent studies suggest that the cutaneous nervous system is highly integrated with the immune system to encode specific sensations into evolutionarily conserved protective behaviors. In addition to directly sensing pathogens, neurons employ novel neuroimmune mechanisms to provide host immunity. Therefore, given that sensation underlies various physiologies through increasingly complex reflex arcs, a much more dynamic picture is emerging of the skin as a truly systemic organ with highly coordinated physical, immunologic, and neural functions in barrier immunology.Coinciding with the development and revision of conceptual models of psychopathology, there has been a proliferation in the number of self-report clinical questionnaires and studies evaluating their psychometric properties. Unfortunately, many clinical measures are constructed and evaluated using suboptimal methods. This review provides current guidelines for the conceptualization, development, and psychometric validation of clinical questionnaires using latent variable methods. A two-stage exploratory-confirmatory framework is provided. The exploratory stage includes item selection and revision, initial structural evaluation, and preliminary tests of concurrent validity (e.g., convergent and discriminant). The confirmatory stage involves replicating factor structure using a more restrictive model, identifying areas of model strain, conducting additional tests of concurrent and predictive validity, and evaluating measurement invariance. Recommendations are provided for (a) item generation, (b) how to use different types of exploratory and confirmatory factor models to determine structure, and (c) evaluating reliability and validity using a latent variable measurement model approach.
