Recalibrated Scales: The Use of Low-dose Isotretinoin in a Case of Epidermolytic Ichthyosis-NPS1 in a Filipino Child
Authors: Dy Erickah Mary Therese R. , Abalos-Babaran Shahara , Faner Monette R. , Dayrit-Castro Carmela Augusta F.
Published: August 2021

Epidermolytic Ichthyosis (EI) is a rare non-syndromic keratinopathic ichthyosis without definitive treatment. This is a case of EI in a 5-year-old Filipino female who presented with hyperkeratotic scales sparing the palms and soles. Histopathology revealed epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. A trial of treatment with isotretinoin 0.3 mg/kg/day, together with keratolytic agents, urea lotion and lactic acid lotion, resulted in a marked decrease in the thickness of the scales and odor. Interestingly, rebound effects were noted at 0.6 mg/kg/day. Taking into account that EI presents with more skin fragility compared to non-EHK ichthyosis, the authors surmise that there may be a smaller treatment window for patients with EI, which is notably lower than recommended for ichthyosis in general.

Authors: Abad-Constantino Rona Maria R. , Caro-Chang Leah M. , Gatmaitan-Dumlao Jolene Kristine G. , Abalos-Babaran Shahara , Tan-Gatue Philip Nino , Dofitas Belen L.
Published: August 2021

Background. Pruritus can impair quality of life in patients with atopic dermatitis. There is evidence that acupuncture reduces pruritus and disease severity, and improves quality of life.

Objectives. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of acupuncture in reducing pruritus intensity, disease severity, and medication use, and improving quality of life.

Methods. This was a patient- and assessor-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Patients diagnosed with atopic dermatitis underwent twice-weekly acupuncture for 12 weeks, with an 8-week follow-up period. Baseline and weekly assessment were done using standard data collection forms and validated assessment tools.

Results. Thirty patients were randomized and 28 patients were eligible for the efficacy analysis. There were no significant differences in the baseline demographic and clinical characteristics between the True Acupuncture group (TA) (n=16) and Sham Acupuncture group (SA) (n=12). Both groups showed reduction in mean itch intensity (visual analogue scale, VAS) (p=0.024) but TA showed greater reduction (p=0.009) that was sustained after end of treatment. There was also a reduction in medication use in both groups. The comparable efficacy of SA to TA is attributed to similar peripheral receptive fields and stimulation of cutaneous C-fibers which depletes the neurotransmitters mediating pruritus and results in tachyphylaxis. Mild adverse events, such as petechiae and erythema, were noted in both groups and resolved spontaneously.

Conclusion. Acupuncture is a promising adjunct treatment in atopic dermatitis with significant reduction in pruritus, disease severity and medication use and a trend towards improved quality of life. Studies with larger sample size and comparison to acupuncture points farther from the true acupuncture points are recommended.

Understanding the mechanisms of emotion production and emotion processing is important for addressing social communication deficits in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our results suggest that prompted emotional expressions in individuals with ASD are considered less genuinely expressed than those of their typically developing peers. This authenticity is related to neural responses in social processing brain regions. These findings offer insight for OTs to better treat and develop therapies to address social communication deficits in individuals with ASD.

This study explored office workers' perspectives on including artificial intelligence (AI) in their office workspace. Following an iterative analysis of six focus-group interviews with a total of 45 participants, three constructs emerged. Rich discussions demonstrated how acceptability of an AI workstation is complex and affected by the person, context, and their occupations.

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

Fifty-three kindergarten and first-grade students were screened to examine the relationship between primitive reflexes and scholastic performance. Overall, 100% of participants had retention of at least one reflex. Results indicated statistically significant relationships between reflexes and areas of academic performance. Further research is warranted to understand why reflexes are not being integrated and how school-based OTs ought to use these findings.

Relationships Among Parent-Reported Gastrointestinal Factors and Social Behaviors in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Kreider Consuelo , Mburu Sharon , Dizdarevic Sanja , Elder Jennifer H.
Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

We explored and identified relationships among gastro-intestinal (GI) factors (i.e., stool status, abdominal pain, and diet status) and social behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Understanding the association of GI factors and social behaviors and symptomatology may one day be useful in informing development or enhancement of social–behavioral intervention strategies for children with ASD with reported positive GI factors of stool status and abdominal pain.

Importance of Attention in Sensory Processing and Social Functioning in Young Adults With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Elias Crasta Jewel , Davies Patricia , Gavin William J.
Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

Statistical modeling analysis reveal that attention skills mediate the relationship between brain measures of sensory processing (measured by electroencephalography) and behavioral sensory processing in young adults with and without autism. Thus, attention abilities facilitate brain mechanisms to better process sensory stimuli to perform everyday sensory processing activities and social skills. Results suggest that therapy emphasizing attention skills in autism can modify sensory and social participation.

Power to the Poor: The Potential Partnership of OT and the Social Movement to End Structural Poverty
Authors: Adler Sabine , Cozzolino Melinda , Swords Alicia
Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

This qualitative action research study explored the potential partnership of OT and social movements that work to end structural poverty. Limited research in OT provides neither an accurate analysis nor an effective intervention strategy for addressing and dismantling the structural causes of poverty in the United States. This research centers the narratives and expertise of social movements to provide an alternate analysis and path to ending structural poverty in the United States.

The authors developed and administered a survey of occupational participation to OT students to gather data regarding what occupations students engage in. OT students (N = 106) around the United States responded to the survey through social media. Results demonstrate the preferences and variety of occupational participation. The knowledge gained through this study can be used by educators to build a bridge to the occupations that students are participating in.

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

Repetitive wrist and hand movement is a risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome. During daily functional hand use, some people develop carpal tunnel syndrome. However, the exact mechanism of injury remains unknown. We evaluated the effect of functional hand use on the median nerve and assessed the compression and displacement of the median nerve using state-of-the-art sonography.

Development of a Participation-Focused Measure of Interoception
Authors: Brown Catana , Dunn Winifred
Published: August 2021

Date Presented 04/9/21

This study focused on item development of an interoceptive measure grounded in Dunn's Sensory Processing Framework and participation. Items were identified that correlated with their intended subscale. The resulting subscales had good internal consistency (Î± = .63–.88). These initial findings will be valuable for the further development of an interoception scale that OTs can use for intervention planning.

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

Latinx cancer survivors experience worse physical and mental health during survivorship. This group's occupational participation during survivorship is a product of cultural values, environmental influences, and occupational gains and losses. To promote occupational justice, the OT profession is called to deliver culturally tailored care to capitalize on this group's strengths and prepare them for daily participation.

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

This descriptive, qualitative study describes the OT process used by expert practitioners for adults with persistent mild traumatic brain injury symptoms in outpatient concussion clinics. OTs are uniquely trained to return persons to their everyday activities, without requiring a military or sport background. This evidence empowers practitioners to advocate for the client and for the professional to be part of the rehabilitation team and raise the perceived value of the profession.

Adolescents on the autism spectrum have difficulties initiating social interactions, which affects their peer engagement. This study investigated the characteristics of unresponded social initiation among adolescents on the spectrum and their typically developing peers. We investigated the rated characteristics of unresponded initiations among 12 students (six with autism; sixth to seventh grade) and explored the effects of the student group, peer group, and purpose and type of initiations.

Sensory Modulation in Children Exposed to Continuous Traumatic Stress
Authors: Yochman Aviva
Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

A comparison between children with and without posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms found that children with PTS symptoms are at increased risk for sensory processing deficits in various sensory modalities, over and above the core symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. These results emphasize that sensory processing should be incorporated into the routine evaluation of this population and point to the importance of OT trauma-informed intervention programs, emphasizing the sensory component of regulation.
