Botulinum Toxin Type A Treatment For Drooling In Taiwanese Children With Cerebral Palsy: Three Casereports, Yu-Ching Lin, I-Ling Lin, Yu-Te Chiu, Jeng-Yi Shieh
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Botulinum toxin is a promising treatment option for the management of drooling in patients with cerebral palsy. However, the effect of botulinum toxin type A in treating drooling of Taiwanese children with cerebral palsy has not been reported thus far. We injected single dose botulinum toxin into bilateral parotid glands of three children with cerebral palsy, and followed the results over a 9-month period. Drooling improved in all three patients without significant adverse effects during follow up. There were individual differences in terms of efficacy and duration of effect. Two patients had longer duration of effect than that reported in …

Autonomic Dysreflexia In Ankylosing Spondylitis With Double Spinal Cord Injuries: A Casereport, Shu-Chun Huang, Wun-Jhong Tsai, Shih-Wei Chou, Chin-Man Wang, Alice M. K. Wong
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
This 54-year-old man underlying ankylosing spondylitis suffered from double spinal cord injuries with traumatic C6/7 dislocation and a neglected L1 vertebral body fracture which progressed to transverse fracture three weeks after the injury, acting as a powerful precipitant to autonomic dysreflexia. The dysreflexic symptoms happened at least three times when he practiced sitting during mat exercise and ameliorated soon by virtue of lying down. Compared with the previous record checked three weeks ago, neurologic examination revealed alteration of sensory level and loss of deep anal sensation. The patient received L1 laminectomy as well as T12 and L2 transpedicle screws fixation, …

Handling Immediate Medical Care At Aquatic Facilities: Do We Need Different Levels Of Lifeguard Certification?, Leland Yarger

The first-responder and professional-rescuer training materials and training programs consider lifeguards to be first responders in emergencies (Aehlert, 2005; American Red Cross, 2001). This article asks readers to consider whether our agency lifeguard-training programs reflect a philosophy that truly view and prepare lifeguards as first responders. If not, I challenge readers to consider whether we should alter our hiring, staffing, and in-service training procedures at aquatic facilities based on the scope and need for providing adequate emergency care at those facilities.
