Assessing The Feasibility Of Acceptance And Commitment Therapy In Promoting Psychological Adjustment After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury, Diane Whiting, Grahame Simpson, Joseph Ciarrochi, Hamish Mcleod
joseph Ciarrochi
This study evaluated the feasibility of a treatment program utilising Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address psychological adjustment to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). ACT focuses on persons’ relationship with internal experiences such as thoughts, emotions and memories in order for them to live a life consistent with their values. Treatment goals include increasing psychological flexibility, participation in valued life roles and reducing psychological distress. Method: Two participants (both male, P1 aged 20 years, P2 aged 28 years) with severe TBI and demonstrating psychological distress, as measured by the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS- 588 Abstract Brain Inj …

Who Influence Men To Go To Therapy: Reports From Men Attending Psychological Services, Jason Cusack, Frank Deane, Coralie Wilson, Joseph Ciarrochi
joseph Ciarrochi
The degree to which men's current or most recent access to professional psychological help was influenced by others, and their future independent help-seeking intentions were measured. Seventy-three males currently accessing, or who had recently accessed a mental health service, completed a questionnaire that asked about their pathway to care and future help-seeking intentions. Ninety-six percent of participants reported their decision to seek help was influenced to some degree by others, with G.P's, and intimate partners most influential. Thirty-seven percent indicated that without this influence, they would not have sought help at all. Once in therapy, treatment helpfulness was a significant …
Emotional Expression, Perceptions Of Therapy, And Help-Seeking Intentions In Men Attending Therapy Services, Coralie Wilson, Joseph Ciarrochi, Frank Deane, Jason Cusack
Emotional Expression, Perceptions Of Therapy, And Help-Seeking Intentions In Men Attending Therapy Services, Coralie Wilson, Joseph Ciarrochi, Frank Deane, Jason Cusack
joseph Ciarrochi
Seventy-three men who were currently accessing or had recently accessed mental health services completed a questionnaire regarding their emotional expression, engagement in therapy, perceptions of treatment helpfulness, and future help-seeking intentions. Perceptions of treatment helpfulness were inversely predicted by alexithymia (mediated by bond) and restrictive emotionality, although these emotional expression variables were unrelated to future help-seeking intentions. Bond was positively related to perceptions of treatment helpfulness and both variables predicted future help-seeking intentions. Contrary to expectations, perceptions of treatment helpfulness did not mediate the relationship between bond and future help-seeking intentions. It was concluded that, once in therapy, bond and …

Laser Doppler Flowmetry Predicts Occlusion But Not Tpa-Mediated Reperfusion Success After Rat Embolic Stroke, Nils Henninger, James Bouley, Bernt Bratane, Birgül Bastan, Meghan Shea, Marc Fisher
Laser Doppler Flowmetry Predicts Occlusion But Not Tpa-Mediated Reperfusion Success After Rat Embolic Stroke, Nils Henninger, James Bouley, Bernt Bratane, Birgül Bastan, Meghan Shea, Marc Fisher
Nils Henninger
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is increasingly used to assess adequate occlusion after embolic stroke (ES) in rats. METHODS: Employing LDF, relative regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was continuously monitored during the first 2 h following ES and correlated with 24 h 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC)-staining of corrected infarct volume. In a preliminary experiment (n=18), it was demonstrated that rCBF-reduction to 37% or less of baseline correctly identified occlusion success in the suture middle cerebral artery occlusion (sMCAO) model. Using the same methodology, we then assessed whether LDF allowed for identification of animals with successful ES (experiment 2, n=26) …
Do Smartsite Antireflux Valves Limit The Flow Rate Of 0.9% Normal Saline Through Intravenous Cannulas?, David Liu, Gerben Keijzers
Do Smartsite Antireflux Valves Limit The Flow Rate Of 0.9% Normal Saline Through Intravenous Cannulas?, David Liu, Gerben Keijzers
Gerben Keijzers
The aim of the study was to determine whether the placement of a SmartSite antireflux valve between a bag of fluid with line giving set and an intravenous cannula decreases the flow rate. Fluid flow rates were compared in paired experiments with and without an antireflux valve using a pressure infuser or allowing fluid to flow by gravity only for four different sizes of intravenous cannulas (20–14 G). Antireflux valves significantly decreased the fluid flow rates for all cannula sizes, irrespective of whether a pressure infuser was used. The decrease in the flow rate was most marked for larger cannulas …
International Framework For Examination Of The Cervical Region For Potential Of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction Prior To Orthopaedic Manual Therapy Intervention, Alison Rushton, Darren Rivett, Lisa Carlesso, Timothy Flynn, Wayne Hing, Roger Kerry
International Framework For Examination Of The Cervical Region For Potential Of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction Prior To Orthopaedic Manual Therapy Intervention, Alison Rushton, Darren Rivett, Lisa Carlesso, Timothy Flynn, Wayne Hing, Roger Kerry
Wayne Hing
A consensus clinical reasoning framework for best practice for the examination of the cervical spine region has been developed through an iterative consultative process with experts and manual physical therapy organisations. The framework was approved by the 22 member countries of the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (October 2012). The purpose of the framework is to provide guidance to clinicians for the assessment of the cervical region for potential of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction in advance of planned management (inclusive of manual therapy and exercise interventions). The best, most recent scientific evidence is combined with international expert opinion, and …
