Abstract:
BackgroundThis project is an effort to understand how orders for IV immunoglobulin (IVIg) are documented and prescribed by physicians, and subsequently, how they are reviewed by insurance companies for the treatment of immune neuropathies.MethodsA panel of neuromuscular specialists reviewed case records from 248 IVIg-naive patients whose in-home IVIg infusion treatment was submitted to insurance for authorization. After reviewing a case record, 1 panelist was asked to make a diagnosis and to answer several questions about the treatment. A second panelist reviewed the original record and follow-up records that were obtained for reauthorization of additional treatments and was asked to determine whether the patient had responded to the treatment.ResultsOur specialists believed that only 32.2% of 248 patients had an immune neuropathy and were appropriate candidates for IVIg therapy, whereas 46.4% had neuropathies that were not immune mediated. Only 15.3% of cases met electrodiagnostic criteria for a demyelinating neuropathy. Our specialists believed that 36.7% of 128 cases with follow-up records had responded to therapy. In cases in which the initial reviewer had predicted that there would be a response to IVIg, the second reviewer found that 54% had responded. This is compared with a 27% response rate when the first reviewer predicted that there would be no response (p = 0.019).ConclusionsOur expert review finds that the diagnosis of immune neuropathies made by providers, and subsequently approved for IVIg therapy by payers, is incorrect in a large percentage of cases. If payers include an expert in their review process, it would improve patient selection, appropriate use, and continuation of treatment with this expensive therapeutic agent.

Abstract:
The authors report on their evolution of inpatient art therapy in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. Having begun with an approach based on assigned themes, they later abandoned this in favour of an approach based on the process of painting. The difficulties inherent in the former approach may be fundamentally related to the psychopathology and treatment needs of patients with anorexia.

Abstract:
Treatment of penile haematomas includes conventional therapy and/or surgical intervention which may not always result in the recovery of all penile functions. For valuable breeding stallions, a safe and effective treatment is necessary and medical leech therapy meets these criteria. Additionally, the proven efficiency and safety of the use of leeches in the resolution of haematomas makes this method applicable to other fields of veterinary medicine. A 14-year-old stallion was presented and assigned to the university hospital with a swollen and prolapsed penis. The owner reported that the stallion was likely kicked in the penis while mating. There were no deviations in the physiological indicators during the general examination. A drainage was inserted and a compression bandage was applied. After an initial slight subsidence of the oedema, the healing process slowed down. Hence, the experimental leech treatment was applied. The hirudotherapy was performed twice, five days apart. The hirudotherapy proved to be safe and effective, and with the addition of hydrotherapy, anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, resulted in the full recovery of the horse within 45 days. The erectile functions of the penis were restored and the stallion successfully continued its breeding career.

Abstract:
Given the pervasive, debilitating nature of major depressive disorder, a large body of clinical research has evaluated the efficacy of short-term treatments for depression. Researchers have attempted to understand the complex mechanism of therapeutic change by examining treatment response, which is typically defined as the extent of symptom change between the intake and termination sessions. However, this approach fails to recognize that therapy is a non-linear, dynamic longitudinal process. An alternative approach involves analysis of longitudinal repeated measures process and outcome indicators in order to examine change both during treatment as well as following treatment. In order to evaluate dynamic, longitudinal hypotheses, it is necessary to use an appropriate analytical framework. A structural modelling technique termed Latent Difference Score Analysis (LDS) is well suited for this purpose, allowing for evaluation of longitudinal growth within a time series, while also considering multivariate relationships and determinants.
The purpose of this research was to evaluate established theories of depression vulnerability as well as theories of psychotherapy process, both during and following depression treatment. The research described in Chapter 2 examined several theories of the longitudinal relationship between depression and perfectionism during depression treatment, while considering the role of the therapeutic alliance. Longitudinal LDS analyses supported a "personality vulnerability" model of depression, in which perfectionism predicted the subsequent rate of depression change throughout treatment. Results indicate that patients with high levels of perfectionism experience less reduction in their depression scores throughout treatment. Furthermore, the strength of the therapeutic alliance significantly predicted the rate of change in personality vulnerability throughout therapy. The research described in Chapter 3 examined several theories of the longitudinal relationship between depression and stress following treatment termination. Results supported a "stress reactivity" model, in which stressful events led to elevations in the rate of depression change following therapy. Multigroup LDS analysis indicated that stress reactivity only occurred for patients who had been treated with medication, and not for those who had received psychotherapy.
These findings have several implications. First, comprehensive analyses of treatment efficacy can move beyond symptom reduction by examining mechanisms underlying treatment response using an appropriate statistical framework. The first paper demonstrates that an efficient route to symptom reduction involves establishing an adequate therapeutic alliance in order to target personality vulnerability. The second paper demonstrates that importance of evaluating treatment efficacy by considering whether a treatment leads to enduring change. Specifically, results indicate that the enduring effects of psychotherapy (in comparison to medication treatments) following treatment termination involves increased resiliency to stressful life events.

Abstract:

The present dissertation comprises four empirical studies within the area of behavioral treatment of panic disorder with agoraphobia. The focus is on studying issues pertaining to outcome, treatment process and determinants of change. The first study is a randomized controlled treatment study of 73 patients undergoing 16 sessions of either exposure in vivo (E), or cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Both treatments showed clear improvements at post-treatment that were well maintained at 1-year follow up, and there were no significant differences between the treatments.

The second study concerned prediction of outcome in the same sample. From a variety of pre-treatment characteristics severity of avoidance was the one most related to outcome. Most predictors were found unrelated. Two approaches of prediction were also compared: treating outcome as a categorical vs. continuous variable. The different approaches yielded a somewhat dissimilar picture of the impact of pre-treatment severity of avoidance. The third study examined different aspects of the therapeutic relationship, and their relation to outcome. Clients’ perceptions of therapists and their ratings of the working alliance were generally not related to outcome at any point. On the other hand, therapists’ perceptions of patients as showing goal-direction and active participation were related to outcome from early on in therapy. The fourth study examined different aspects of change. It was found that change in indices of the frequency of panic attacks was not closely related to change in agoraphobic avoidance at post-treatment. Change in avoidance was also more related to other aspects of outcome. At one-year follow-up, a more unitary picture, regarding the different aspects of change was observed.

Abstract:
Objective: The present studies aimed to examine temporal patterns of symptom change over the course of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in individuals with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and evaluate their relationship to outcomes. They further sought to investigate whether case-conceptualisation competence, client hope and processing were associated with therapeutic change. Method: Participants were 156 individuals with TRD receiving 12-18 sessions of CBT as part of a randomised controlled trial. Depressive severity was assessed at each session. Audio-recordings of therapy sessions proximal to sudden gains and control sessions for 25 sudden gainers and 25 non-sudden gainers were rated for client hope and emotional processing, and therapist competence in case-conceptualisation. Results: The overall shape of change was best described as cubic, with frequent discontinuities in symptom trajectories. Sudden gains were associated with reduced depressive severity and a greater likelihood of remission at 12 months. Sudden gainers demonstrated greater hope than non-sudden gainers and emotional processing increased prior to a gain. Therapists showed greater competence in case-conceptualisation with sudden gainers. Conclusion: The present study describes a non-linear shape of change in TRD and extends the phenomenon of sudden gains to this population. It suggests that the combination of hope for change with supported efforts to process and make meaning of experiences may predispose individuals favourably towards experiencing sudden gains in therapy.

Objective: Therapeutic processes that occur within session have been identified as a factor that may influence youth anxiety outcomes. The present study examined the relationships between positive and negative youth involvement, therapist therapeutic and nontherapeutic behaviors, and anxiety outcomes. Method: Sixty youth (aged 7-17) received cognitive-behavioral therapy for an anxiety disorder. Weekly session videos were rated by observers. Measures of anxiety severity were completed weekly and at posttreatment. Regression analyses examined the association between therapeutic processes and post-treatment outcomes. Univariate and bivariate latent difference score (LDS) models evaluated whether changes in one factor were prospectively associated with later changes in the same factor and in other factors. Results: Positive youth involvement significantly predicted reduced anxiety severity, greater improvement, and remission of principal anxiety disorder at posttreatment. Youth negative involvement during psychoeducation sessions predicted a reduced likelihood of remission. Therapist therapeutic behaviors during psychoeducation sessions predicted lower anxiety severity, greater improvement, and treatment response. Nontherapeutic behaviors in psychoeducation sessions were associated with increased anxiety severity, less improvement, and a reduced likelihood of treatment response and remission of principal anxiety disorder. When entered simultaneously, only nontherapeutic behaviors were significantly associated with increased anxiety severity. LDS models resulted in poor model fit, thus, the temporal sequence among involvement, therapist behaviors, and anxiety severity was not established. Conclusions: Youth involvement and therapist behaviors are associated with beneficial outcomes. Therapist nontherapeutic behaviors are strongly associated with poorer outcomes. Findings are discussed in relation to previous findings and future directions are proposed.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to reveal the reality negotiation process for finding hope in people who have Depression. In the traditional, modern and medical models of depression, and biological, psychological, social or even contextual perspectives, it is considered that people who are affected by depression are stigmatized in a sick role with different kinds of dysfunctions or deficiencies. They are not considered to have much hope. Their reality is singular and absolute which prevent the use of personal agency to make choices, take action and narrate preferences and experiences to address their problems. In the school of positive psychology, there is a theory that focuses on pathways to hope which aim at positivity as people have the ability for reality negotiation. The postmodern and humanistic views have allowed people to start to see that even though one may be affected by mental illnesses, one will still have his/her expert knowledge, unique experiences, and strategies through narratives of hope. This research is collaborative narrative research. Twelve individuals, males and females of different ages and backgrounds, have been invited to take part in semi-structured in-depth narrative interviews. They have also been invited to provide feedback and reflections during the interview process. They are given the opportunity to comment on their own verbatim and review the script at a second interview for further storytelling and reflection. When these individuals are given the space and time to narrate their accounts of negotiating depression, the hope that is previously hidden will then emerge. Throughout the conversation, they reconstruct their preferred self by revisiting the negotiation process. They have the agency to perform their preferred life and self-strategies and over techniques to manage life problems and compete with the power of dominant discourses within the mainstream context. It is shown that they have to lead their life with hopeful stories that are applicable to their future life circumstances. A theory is consequently formulated based on the findings of the process of reality negotiation in finding hope. Recommendations are provided in light of the current situation of mental health services in the Hong Kong Chinese cultural context, which include recommendations on the allocation of resources and human resources that are oriented towards the expertise of the persons who are facing depression. It is based on their knowledge and experience found by the everyday stories of the persons through collaboration with them.

Abstract:
Despite negative perceptions of therapy, Black Americans are seeking therapy. I interviewed 8 Black clients about their experience of MFT. I used the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI; Sellers, Rowley, Chavous, Shelton, & Smith, 1997) to assess their racial identity. Most participants thought it was strange for Blacks to seek therapy. Yet, these participants found the strength to seek therapy to protect their family and individual well-being. Participants found support from family, friends, and/or the church/religious beliefs. All attended church but few sought their pastor for therapeutic support. The participants who initially preferred a Black therapist also strongly viewed race as central to their self-identity. However, participants expressed greater concern for therapist competence, skills, and warmth than for therapist race. Yet, many discussed the benefits of having a Black therapist, which were greater comfort, ease, and openness for Black clients in therapy, as well as greater cultural familiarity for Black therapists. All of the participants reported satisfaction with their therapist and generally reported a positive experience. I also measured the experience of the first and third therapy sessions for Black and White clients, using the Session Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ; Stiles, 2000). Black clients reported significantly less depth in the first session than White clients, suggesting a unique experience of therapy for Black clients. Also, Black clients that remained in therapy reported less smoothness in the first session than those who terminated. There were no significant findings for the third session. Research and treatment implications from these findings are discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractRecent improvements in burn care have resulted in greater patient survival of severe burns. With improved survival, treatment of the resulting permanent burn hypertrophic scars requires extensive care. Hypertrophic scarring occurs due to aberrations in the normal healing process, resulting in excessive inflammation and collagen deposition at the site of injury. These scars are accompanied by symptoms such as pain, pruritus, erythema, and limited mobility. The high scar prevalence in pediatric patients and accompanying physical, psychological, and social burden warrant a better understanding of the possible treatment options. Currently, several therapeutic strategies exist for hypertrophic scar management in the pediatric patient, although none are completely effective. Recently, laser therapy has emerged as a potential therapy for symptomatic relief and scar modulation. Here, we provide an up-to-date review of treatment options for hypertrophic scars in the pediatric population. In addition, we discuss a clinical case, outlining the potential merits of addition of laser therapy and surgical revision for the treatment of hypertrophic scars.

Abstract:
Gold nanoparticles, especially nanorods, are emerging as a promising future material to achieve targeted thermal treatment for cancer. The treatment involves nanoparticle-radiation interaction phenomenon to generate the heat confined to a specific region. Obtaining effective treatments requires a more detailed theoretical understanding of this phenomenon. This study evaluates the temperature field in a tumor tissue embedded with gold nanorods, considering a two dimensional domain representing a skin tumor, irradiated with near infrared radiation. The results indicate that it is possible to localize the heat damage to the tumor region while surrounding healthy tissues are spared. The developed numerical model predicts the temperature through various input of the involved process parameters like size, concentration and irradiation intensity.

Abstract:
Radiation therapy is a widely used and highly effective technique for the treatment of cancer, however the commissioning and delivery of a course of external beam radiation is a complex process with numerous challenges. This paper will present new developments that aim to improve both the planning and delivery of this important cancer treatment technique. Specifically, this work develops a new direct delivery parameter optimization approach for planning of solid compensator intensity modulated radiation therapy, coined Direct Compensator Profile Optimization (DCPO). In order to understand the benefits and implications of this new DCPO approach, a reasonable understanding of the field of radiation therapy is needed. Therefore, this document will include a brief discussion of the history and relevant background information in the area of radiation therapy. It is intended that this background information is detailed enough so that the remainder of this research can be followed by those without existing experience in the field of radiation treatment planning. The specific details of this new approach will be then be presented followed by a display of initial results to verify the performance.

Abstract:
Hereditary antithrombin III deficiency,protein C deficiency, and protein S deficiency predispose to the occurrence of venous thrombotic disease at a relatively youngage and often without an apparent cause. These disorders inherit as an autosomal dominant trait. Heterozygotes are at risk fosuperficial thrombophlebitis, thrombosis atnearly every venous site, and pulmonary embolism. Homozygous protein C deficiency may present itself with a purpura fulminans syndrome shortly after birth.In the acute phase of venous thromboembolism heparin is effective for preventing extension of the thrombotic process, and pulmonary embolism. In patients with antithrombin III deficiency the concomittant useof antithrombin III concentrate is controversial, although some patients may requirehigher doses of heparin.Substitution therapy is only indicated in homozygous protein C deficient patientswith purpura fulminans. Fresh frozen plasma i.v. is the treatment of choice, in a dosage of 10 ml/kg once or twice daily. The current prothrombin complex concentrates may induce new skin lesions and disseminated intravascular coagulation. After the lesions have been healed(mostly in 4 to6 weeks)coumarin therapy may effectively prevent new episodes of purpura fulminans, provided the prothrombin time is kept within 2,5 - 4,0 INR. Heparin is ineffective for preventing purpura fulminans due to homozygous protein C deficiency.The thrombotic manifestations in heterozygotes are effectively prevented by coumarin therapy. This is supported by the observation that patients may remain free of thrombosis during long-term treatment and may have recurrences shortly after the withdrawal of the coumarin drug. The therapeutic range for the prothrombin time should be within 2,0 - 4,0 INR, target value 3,0 INR. In the initial phase of oral anticoagulant therapy protein C deficient patients are prone to the development of coumarin induced hemorrhagic skin (tissue) necrosis.In the patients studied in Leiden, it occurred in about 3% of the treated patients. Heparin appears to be ineffective for the prevention of coumarin-induced skin necrosis; high loading doses of coumarin should be avoided and the prothrombin timeshouldbe checked dialy during the initial phase of oral anticoagulant treatment. Tissue necrosis may contribute to bleeding complications after fibrinolytic therapy, ashas been observed in two protein C deficient patients.In clinical situations with an increased risk for thrombosis such as surgery and pregnancy, heparin (in-low-doses) alone orin combination with coumarins have been used succesfully for the prevention of thrombosis. The need for antithrombin III concentrates in patients with hereditary antithrombin III deficiency in such situations is not substantiated.Although anabolic steroids are capable to increase the plasma concentrations of antithrombin III and of protein C in the respective deficiency states, its efficacy in preventing thrombotic episodes remains to be established.An optimal strategy for preventing thrombosis in congenital thrombotic syndromes is to identify still asymptomatic patients. In case of antithrombin III, protein C, and protein S deficiency this search is feasible. During risk situations for thrombosis patients are to be protected against the development of thrombosis.In Leiden pregnant women with one of the deficiencies are treated from the 14th week of pregnancy, initially with a shortacting coumarin drug, after the 34th week withheparin s.c. b.i.d. at therapeutic dosages,and after delivery coumarin therapy is reTnstituted during 6 weeks. The use of oralcontraceptives should be avoided, unlesspatients are under coumarin treatment. As long as deficient patients remain asymptomatic no antithrombotic treatment is indicated. After the first documented thromboticincident patients are treated indefinitelywith oral anticoagulants.

Abstract:
"Over the years, research has demonstrated that psychotherapy is an effective treatment in different psychopathological conditions. However, which are the mechanisms or processes involved in therapeutic change that could explain its efficacy are not yet clear. The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Model describes change in therapy as a process that occurs through the gradual assimilation of problematic experiences in the self – higher levels of assimilation seem to be associated with a better outcome at the end of therapy. However, little is known about the contribution of this process to the maintenance of therapeutic gains after the end of therapy. In the current study we aimed to explore how the level of assimilation achieved throughout therapy is associated with relapse prevention after treatment. We analyzed two good outcome cases of Emotion-Focused Therapy, previously diagnosed with depression: one case that remained asymptomatic and another that relapsed one year and a half after the end of therapy. The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences (APES) was used to assess the assimilation levels achieved and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was used to assess the intensity of depressive symptoms. Five therapeutic sessions and three follow-up sessions were rated using the APES. The results showed that higher APES levels were associated with lower intensity of symptoms at the end and after therapy termination, being associated with relapse prevention in depression. These results suggest that a complete assimilation of the problematic experiences may help clients to maintain therapeutic gains reducing the probability of relapsing in depression."

Abstract:
The paper presents some aspects and practical solutions of weight bearing joints treatment for patients with osteoarthritis and following by the rehabilitation process, which has realized at Recovery Clinical Hospital of Felix Spa. A model of human body under applied and conjunction forces explains the damping and shocks into synovial joints from elastic modulus of bone cartilages in contact and variation of dynamic viscosity’s synovial fluid and spine fluid. The conservative treatment of osteoarthritis involves balneal-physical-kinetic therapy or balneal-physical-kinetic recovery treatment, which must be repeated periodical, every six months to get good results. In addition, a vibration treatment of patients with osteoarthritis combines with balneal-conservative treatment is proposed. This vibration treatment system is composed of vibration bed, electrical motor to generate the vibration with direct adjustment of frequency by a digital frequency convertor, and a command panel system of measurement, analysis and interpretation of data from FFT electronic vibration gage. These combination treatments have assured an amelioration of patients with osteoarthritis and improving the bio-lubrication between cartilages of synovial joints, respectively of fluid spine.

Abstract:
In this study, a novel combined therapy of nano-cryosurgery and RF induced nano-hyperthermia was proposed, with the purpose of improving tumor treatment efficacy. To better understand the mechanisms of enhancement on freezing and heating by introducing magnetic nanoparticles with high thermal conductivity during the combined therapy of nano-cryosurgery and RF hyperthermia, a series of numerical investigations were performed. The results indicate that the combined therapy of nano-cryosurgery and RF hyperthermia can serve as an applicable way to flexibly control the size and shape of lethal freezing/heating areas, which will help selectively ablate the target tissue and then optimize the thermal treatment process for tumor.

Abstract:
Most of the current problems can be solved by referring to the solutions of the previous problems. Case Based reasoning (CBR) is one of the methods that solves a problem by retrieving the similar problems from the past and adapting the solutions of the past problems to solve the new problem. Recent studies that apply CBR include time as a parameter to retrieve most effective solutions that vary with time. This approach is more helpful in healthcare area in which one needs to look at historical evidence to find an accurate diagnostic or treatment regime. Hence, in this study, a time-based CBR is applied to track the outcomes of the drug therapy on hypertensive patients and find the most effective drug as a prescription. Initially, episodes in each patient’s medical records are chronologically ordered such that the oldest episode is placed first in the episode sequence and the latest episode is placed the last. It is assumed that the first episode of each patient is the first instance of diagnose; so when a new patient comes for checkup, his/her state (health condition) is compared with the initial state of the past patients. Therefore, the retrieval process calculates the similarity between the new patient’s current state and the most similar patients at their first episodes in the patient records. Due to the diversity of therapies for matching patients, the best treatment couldn’t be determined without knowing the efficacy of the different treatments. Therefore, the subsequent episodes of matching patients are examined to find the best treatment for the new patient. This might even require using a combination of treatments from all matching patients to find a good treatment for the new patient. After the treatment is defined for the first visit, the record of the new patient is stored in the library for future case retrieval. This method is a novel approach to personalized treatment of patients having chronic disease by tracking the medical records past patients over a long period of time. The current approach for treating the hypertensive patients uses evidence-based guidelines for managing the disease. However, this approach is more general and doesn’t take into account all the patient characteristics such as lab results and physical examination parameters. In the current approach the similarity between patients can’t be leveraged; the change of the treatment regime is based only on the risk parameter. However, in this method several parameters are being checked for efficiency of the medication. In contrast, the proposed CBR-based method personalizes the treatment based on what worked well for similar patients. In this paper, the clinical records of hypertensive patients are provided by a Boston based hospital. The preliminary results confirm that the proposed approach will give good recommendation for hypertension treatment.
