Abstract:

There is a dearth of research available on child services in the community mental health setting in the fields of psychology and counseling. The purpose of this study was to conduct an experimental evaluation of university-based play therapy clinical services with children aged 3 to 10 years old and to explore dimensions of the effectiveness of child-centered play therapy (CCPT) with children. This study examined real-life clinical services to the largest number of child participants in decades of mental health research, especially in the field of play therapy.

Abstract:

There is a large amount of research on BPD which highlights the pervasive and distressing nature of this disorder along with its resulting high financial cost to services. Previous research exploring intervention options for BPD have found DBT to beneficial in reducing parasuicidal behaviour and it is acknowledged as the intervention of choice for adults. The research evidence on ‘what works’ for adolescents with BPD is limited, although DBT is an intervention offered in clinical practice. This study aims to contribute to the research on the effectiveness of DBT by exploring adolescents’ exper

Abstract:

For the past 40 years, one southwestern US university counseling program has sponsored two mental health training clinics in which master's and doctoral level students have learned to provide child parent relationship therapy (CPRT) services to community parents. In their training, students learn about the positive effects of CPRT, particularly on parental stress. To date, however, no program evaluation has been conducted at these clinics focusing specifically on parental stress outcomes after the completion of CPRT or to determine the demographics and characteristics of parents who pursue C

Abstract:

Pancreatic cancer is characterized by its desmoplastic tumor microenvironment and the infiltration of immunosuppressive cells. It is a devastating disease where most patients are diagnosed at a late stage and the treatment options are few. The development of new treatments is surly needed. One treatment option explored is the use of immunotherapy with the intent to activate the immune system and change the balance from pro-tumor to anti-tumor. This thesis presents the idea of using oncolytic adenoviruses called LOAd-viruses that are armed with immunostimulatory- and microenvironment-modulating

Abstract:

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Approximately two-thirds of breast cancers are oestrogen receptor positive (ER+), which are activated via oestrogen dependent and independent mechanisms. The pathogenic role of oestrogen in breast cancer is well established, thus, targeting ER becomes an essential target in breast cancer anti-hormonal therapy. Tamoxifen is the most important anti-hormonal therapeutic agent which has been used as the gold standard in the treatment of ER+ breast cancer patients. Tamoxifen acts by competing with oestrogen for binding to the ER an

Abstract:

Despite the level of concern generated by adolescents who repeatedly self-harm, there is a dearth of empirically validated interventions for this client group. In the adult domain, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT; Linehan, 1993) is the only evidence-based intervention for individuals at high risk of repetition, and preliminary research has suggested its utility with adolescents. This study employed a qualitative methodology to evaluate an existing inpatient DBT programme for adolescents with multiple presenting problems including deliberate self-harm.

Abstract:

Eating disorder clients show low motivation, poor follow-through, and inordinate premature dropout rates in treatment. Earlier studies support the use of pretherapy training to help clients understand the tasks and challenges of therapy. However, a pretherapy intervention, such as showing prospective clients a video that outlines recovery issues and themes, had not yet been developed specifically for the prevalent, recalcitrant problem of eating disorders. Thus, of particular interest to clinicians who treat eating disorders may be the development of a theoretically sound, pretherapy videotape

These hybrid nanoparticles provide us better understanding in designing the semiconductor metal oxides-based nano-photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy.

Cell behaviour is a general term for activities of whole cells such as movement, adhesion, proliferation and invasion. A cellular response to external environmental stimuli includes changing the motility, which is driven by the force of the cellular structure called the cytoskeleton. One of the regulators of the cytoskeleton is the Ras superfamily, which consists of the Rho, Rac and CdCl3 subfamilies. ROCK enzyme, a downstream effector of the Rho subfamily pathway, is very specific for cell movement, contraction and metastases, and its overexpression has been found in many types of cancer. YA1

Abstract:

Lower back pain (LBP) is a medical condition that will affect most of us at some point in our lives. Several medical causes have been identified for LBP, yet the large majority of LBP patients do not receive a specific diagnosis. These patients use up a large majority of health care resources, and accumulate billions of dollars in medical costs in countries throughout the globe. In recent years, an increasing focus has been placed on the idea that aquatic therapy may be an effective therapy for LBP patients. Exercise therapy has already proven itself as an effective means for treating LBP. Thu
