Translation from Research to Practice: Community Dissemination of a Telephone-Delivered Physical Activity and Dietary Behavior Change Intervention
Authors: Goode Ana D. , Owen Neville , Reeves Marina M. , Eakin Elizabeth G. 
Published: February 2012

Purpose: To describe the process of translating an evidence-based, telephone-delivered physical activity and dietary behavior change intervention from research into practice. Design: Descriptive case study. Setting/Subjects: Nongovernment, primary medical care–based community health organization. Intervention: Telephone-delivered intervention targeting physical activity and diet in primary medical care patients. Measures/Analysis: Systematic documentation of process outcomes related to intervention adoption and adaptation. Results: Research-community partnerships were critical in facilitating translation, including (1) an initial competitive advantage within a State Health Department–funded preventive health initiative; (2) advocacy to ensure the adoption of the intervention, (3) subsequent support for the adaptation of program elements to ensure fit of the program with the community organization's objectives and capacities, while maintaining feasible elements of fidelity with the original evidence-based program; (4) the integration of program management and evaluation systems within the community organization; and (5) ongoing support for staff members responsible for program delivery and evaluation. Preliminary process evaluation of the Optimal Health Program supports the acceptability and feasibility of the program within community practice. Conclusions: Intervention characteristics central to adoption can be influenced by research-community partnerships. It is likely that evidence-based interventions will need to be adapted for delivery within the real world. Researchers should endeavor to provide training and support to ensure, as much as possible, fidelity with the original program, and that the relevant adaptations are evidence based.

Authors: Peterson Jana J. , Suzuki Rie , Walsh Emily S. , Buckley David I. , Krahn Gloria L. 
Published: February 2012

Purpose. To assess the efficacy of an intervention to promote mammography and Papanicolaou (Pap) testing among women with mobility impairments overdue for screenings Design. Randomized controlled trial. Setting. Urban and suburban Oregon. Participants. Women aged 35 to 64 with mobility impairments who reported not receiving a Pap test in the past 3 years and/or mammogram (if age > 40 years) in the last 2 years were eligible. A total of 211 women were randomized, and 156 completed the study (26% attrition). The majority were not employed and reported annual income <$10,000. Intervention. The Promoting Access to Health Services (PATHS) program is a 90-minute, small-group, participatory workshop with 6 months of structured telephone support, based on the health belief model and social cognitive theory. Measures. Perceived susceptibility to breast and cervical cancer, perceived benefits of and self-efficacy for screening intention to be screened, and self-reported receipt of mammography and Pap testing. Analysis. Chi-square tests to examine the proportion of women obtaining screening; analysis of covariance to examine change in theoretical mediators. Results. The intervention group received more Pap tests than the control group at posttest (intervention 61 %, control 27%, n = 71, p < .01). No significant group effect was observed for mammography (intervention 49%, control 42%, n = 125, p = .45). Conclusion. Findings indicate that the PATHS intervention promotes Pap testing but not mammography among women with mobility impairments.

Published: February 2012

Abstract
We investigated the psychometric properties of the 68-item Safe Driving Behavior Measure (SDBM) with 80 older drivers, 80 caregivers, and 2 evaluators from two sites. Using Rasch analysis, we examined unidimensionality and local dependence; rating scale; item- and person-level psychometrics; and item hierarchy of older drivers, caregivers, and driving evaluators who had completed the SDBM. The evidence suggested the SDBM is unidimensional, but pairs of items showed local dependency. Across the three rater groups, the data showed good person (≥3.4) and item (≥3.6) separation as well as good person (≥.93) and item reliability (≥.92). Cronbach’s α was ≥.96, and few items were misfitting. Some of the items did not follow the hypothesized order of item difficulty. The SDBM classified the older drivers into six ability levels, but to fully calibrate the instrument it must be refined in terms of its items (e.g., item exclusion) and then tested among participants of lesser ability.

Authors: Hersch Gayle , Hutchinson Shirley , Davidson Harriett , Wilson Christine , Maharaj Teresa , Watson Kathleen B. 
Published: February 2012

AbstractOBJECTIVE. We investigated the effectiveness of an occupation-based cultural heritage intervention to facilitate adaptation to relocation into long-term care (LTC) facilities as measured by quality of life, activity engagement, and social participation.METHOD. We used a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design with pre- and posttests. Residents receiving the cultural intervention were compared with residents in a typical activity group. Eight sessions, two per week for 4 wk, were facilitated by certified occupational therapy assistants.RESULTS. Twenty-nine participants completed the group sessions. Quality-of-life scores improved significantly over time for both groups. Statistically, a greater percentage of time was spent in discretionary than obligatory time, pretest and posttest, with no significant difference between groups.CONCLUSION. The study demonstrated effectiveness of a structured, occupation-based social group intervention that improved quality of life, an indicator of adaptation. It also provided a description of activity patterns and social participation of LTC residents.
Outcome Moderators of a Fatigue Management Program for People With Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Finlayson Marcia , Preissner Katharine , Cho Chi 
Published: February 2012

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We determined whether age, gender, work status, or impairment moderated fatigue management program outcomes for people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
METHOD. We conducted a secondary analysis of longitudinal data from a randomized controlled trial using mixed-effects models (N = 181) and examined outcomes of fatigue impact, mental health, physical health, and self-efficacy. Measures were collected before and immediately after intervention and at 6 wk, 3 mo, and 6 mo postintervention.
RESULTS. Younger participants experienced greater reductions in fatigue impact and greater improvements in self-efficacy over time than did older participants, but we found no age differences in physical or mental health. Participants with less impairment experienced greater mental health gains and were more likely to retain these gains over time than were participants with greater impairment. Although women experienced greater fatigue impact benefits, men experienced greater mental health benefits. Work status did not moderate outcomes.
CONCLUSION. Fatigue management program outcomes for people with MS are moderated by age, gender, and impairment.
Impact of Vision Impairment on Intensity of Occupational Therapy Utilization and Outcomes in Subacute Rehabilitation
Authors: Cimarolli Verena R. , Morse Alan R. , Horowitz Amy , Reinhardt Joann P. 
Published: February 2012

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. To examine whether vision impairment is a predictor of intensity of occupational therapy utilization and outcomes in a sample of older adults ages ≥55 receiving subacute rehabilitation in a long-term care setting.
METHOD. Data for this cohort study were collected by means of structured, in-person interviews with 100 older adult rehabilitation patients at admission to a subacute unit in a long-term care facility and by medical chart review after discharge.
RESULTS. Regression analyses indicated that after controlling for sociodemographic, health, and social support variables, worse contrast sensitivity was a significant predictor of decreased time in occupational therapy, and worse visual acuity was a significant predictor of higher functional dependency at discharge.
CONCLUSION. Vision impairment may prevent full use of occupational therapy and hinder occupational therapy efficacy in subacute care settings. Study findings underscore the importance of developing low vision rehabilitation interventions that can be delivered in conjunction with more traditional subacute rehabilitation.
State of Mental Health Research in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2008–2011
Authors: Gutman Sharon A. 
Published: February 2012

Abstract
In this article, I examine the state of mental health research in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy from 2008 to 2011. Although other practice areas have seen an increase in the number and rigor of intervention effectiveness studies, mental health occupational therapy research has been insufficient to support the profession’s role in traditional mental health services. Strategies to enhance the profession’s role in mental health practice are suggested and include using occupational therapy behavioral health management research in school-based and transition services to support occupational therapy’s role in traditional mental health practice settings.
Negotiating agency and human rights in Islam: A case of Muslim women in Kenya
Authors: Wangila Mary Nyangweso 
Published: February 2012

AbstractHuman agency is a basic human right. Just as humans are entitled to basic human needs, they are also entitled to agency i.e. freedom of choice. Human dignity is centered on this simple fact. Sometimes cultures and religions have infringed upon this basic right. In Kenya, for instance, Muslim women continue to be conflicted between upholding their basic rights as human beings, and adhering to their religious expectations. This conflict mostly manifests in matters related to sexuality and gender roles. While some Muslim scholars have asserted that human rights principles are at the heart of Islam, others have devalued human rights arguing that they are foreign, and western propaganda intended to destroy Islam. Muslim women in Kenya are caught in this dilemma. In this article, I explore the possibility of negotiating agency and human rights in a Muslim context. I draw illustrations from surveying and interviewing thirty Muslim women from Kenya, to highlight the challenges they face, as they attempt to claim human rights. It is my argument that human rights are human entitlements, which are compatible with Islamic teachings. Muslim women should be able to negotiate agency and human rights entitlement within Islam.
Breast Capsulorrhaphy Revisited: A Simple Technique Utilizing a Gore-Tex Mesh
Authors: Sunwoo James , Tobin Howard 
Published: February 2012

Introduction: Mammary prosthetic migration is a complication seen not infrequently after breast surgeries. Many factors can contribute to the displacement. When migration occurs, the patient is often left with a sense of disfigurement; and the surgeon faces a challenging repair. We present a case series describing 10 patients who have experienced implant migration and have had successful outcomes after capsulorrhaphies using Gore-Tex (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene). Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was performed of the charts of patients who underwent capsulorrhaphies at the Facial Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center between 1993 and 2010. We describe the surgical repair of implant migration using a Gore-Tex reinforced capsulorrhaphy. Results: Retrospective information was gathered for the period 1993 to 2010, during which time a total of 10 patients underwent revisional surgeries for implant migration. Notably, most patients had had multiple procedures before the onset of migration; 6 patients (60%) had had more than one prior breast procedure. Inferior displacement of the implant was the most common type of migration, occurring in 8 patients (80%). Two patients (20%) experienced relapse, and the remaining 8 patients (80%) demonstrated excellent results. Conclusions: Capsulorrhaphies have become a standard method in the repair of mammary prosthetic migration. Although the technique is generally effective, in some cases, additional stability is warranted. The adjunctive use of a Gore-Tex synthetic mesh can provide the necessary additional reinforcement. Gore-Tex used as an adjunctive procedure with capsulorrhaphies has resulted in long-lasting and cosmetically desirable outcomes.
Benefits of Autologous Fat Grafting Using Fat Mixed with Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) Selphyl
Authors: Goldfarb Richard M. , Shapiro Aaron L. 
Published: February 2012

Introduction: Autologous fat grafting is important in the treatment of facial rejuvenation to treat the aging face, facial rhytids, and volume deformities. Additional uses of fat transfer include breast augmentation and buttock enhancement. Fat transfer for hand aging, as well as adding volume to body defects with fat, plays a major role in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Variability of graft survival (typically 50–70%) has lessened enthusiasm for the use of this technique. Platelet-rich fibrin matrix, however, has been shown previously to improve fat transplant survival in animal models. Materials and Methods: This report summarizes the case of a 37-year-old woman who had fat from her outer thighs injected into her lower abdominal panus. In 2 designated sites on her lower abdomen, 8 mL of fat was injected per site (one site with fat alone and the other site a 2:1 mixture of fat to Selphyl). Eight weeks later, the patient underwent a paniculectomy (en bloc) resection. Specimens were then processed and evaluated for histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Results: After removal of the en bloc panus, the tissue was immediately processed for histopathology. CD34 staining of regions 1 and 2 was performed. Region 1 consisted of 8 mL of fat injected into the lower abdominal panus in the subcutaneous layer. Region 2 consisted of 8 mL of fat mixed with 4 mL of Selphyl injected subcutaneously. Analysis of these regions showed viable fat in both sections; however, region 2 (8 mL of fat mixed with 4 mL of Selphyl) showed increased neovascularization. Conclusions: The result of this case study indicates that fat mixed with Selphyl may improve graft survival by increasing both neovascularization and total cell number.
The 1540-nm Nonablative Fractional Photothermolysis for Facial Surgical Scars
Authors: Martin John J. 
Published: February 2012

Introduction: Nonablative fractionated photothermolysis creates microscopic zones of thermal damage extending down into the dermis. The epidermis is left intact, allowing for rapid healing with minimal downtime for the patient. The deep heating of the dermis can help with rejuvenation of the skin by promoting neocollagenesis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 1540-nm nonablative fractional photothermolysis for facial surgical scars. Materials and Methods: Four patients with varying Fitzpatrick skin types had facial surgical scars treated with a 1540-nm nonablative fractionated photothermolysis. Results: All patients showed marked improvement in the appearance of their scars with no adverse pigmentary changes. The 1540-nm nonablative fractional resurfacing laser should be considered a first-line treatment for postsurgical scarring. Conclusions: Nonablative fractional photothermolysis with a 1540-nm wavelength is an excellent method to improve the appearance of facial surgical scars. It can be done with a minimum amount of downtime and should be safe for all skin types.
Identifying Proteomic LC‐MS/MS Data Sets with Bumbershoot and IDPicker
Authors: Holman Jerry D. , Ma Ze‐Qiang , Tabb David L. 
Published: March 2012

AbstractThe identification of peptides and proteins by LC‐MS/MS requires the use of bioinformatics. Tools developed in the Tabb Laboratory contribute significant flexibility and discrimination to this process. The Bumbershoot tools (MyriMatch, DirecTag, TagRecon, and Pepitome) enable the identification of peptides represented by MS/MS scans. All of these tools can work directly from instrument capture files of multiple vendors, such as Thermo RAW format, or from standard XML‐based formats, such as mzML or mzXML. Peptide identifications are written to mzIdentML or pepXML format. Protein assembly is handled by the IDPicker algorithm. Raw identifications are filtered to a confident set by use of the target‐decoy strategy. IDPicker arranges large sets of input files into a hierarchy for reporting, and the software applies a parsimony algorithm to report the smallest possible number of proteins to explain the observed peptides. This protocol details the use of these tools for new users. Curr. Protoc. Bioinform. 37:13.17.1‐13.17.15. © 2012 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
This chapter traces the changing scope in the understanding of supramolecular chemistry and its parallel, convergent evolution with nanoscale technology. Starting with the discovery of clathrate hydrates and zeolites in the beginning of the nineteenth century, key milestones such as the realization of the concepts of receptor, binding' and the lock and key model are charted. We look at the birth of the discipline of supramolecular host–guest from macrocylic chemistry and its evolution via self‐assembly into its modern incarnation in the study of modular, pre programmed, and informed matter. We describe how a chemical and molecular approach is fundamental to the understanding of convergent (equilibrium) self‐assembly, emergent features arising from non‐equilibrium systems and nanoscale chemistry.

Published: February 2012

Abstract
Multivalent interactions, in which multiple ligands on one entity bind simultaneously to multiple receptors on another, are ubiquitous in nature. The use of multivalent agents will undoubtedly transform existing methods that target important disease processes including infection, immune system regulation, cancer, and neurological pathways. The employment of multivalent systems as tools to study biological recognition processes and for therapeutic development is unique in that multivalency can address many problems that traditional monovalent materials cannot. Here, mechanisms of multivalent ligand binding as well as the thermodynamic principals of multivalency including the chelation effect, cooperativity, avidity enhancement, avidity entropy, and effective molarity are described. Experimental techniques that are currently used to study multivalent interactions are briefly compared. Key examples of systems that have been used to study multivalent interactions are highlighted and range from small molecules and carbohydrate‐functionalized macromolecules to antibodies and polymers. Overall, this chapter focuses on strategic approaches and enabling technologies that are advancing the development of multivalent therapeutic agents.
Supramolecular Information/Programming from a Boolean Perspective
Authors: de Silva A. Prasanna 
Published: February 2012

AbstractSupramolecular interactions naturally involve information handling so that recognition takes place between two molecules. The gathering and processing (and to some extent, storing) components of information handling can be conveniently analyzed according to Boolean logic. Single‐input YES and NOT logic can be discerned within information gathering operations, that is, sensing. A fluorescent case that is useful for monitoring blood electrolytes illustrates some of the concepts and mechanistic considerations involved. Double‐input AND logic lies within some sensors with improved selectivity toward bifunctional molecular targets. Extension to triple‐input AND logic gives rise to “lab‐on‐a‐molecule” systems. These combine sensing with a rudimentary algorithm to allow a degree of decision‐making regarding the gathered information. The unique ability of molecular information processors to succeed in small spaces barred to semiconductor devices is illustrated by molecular computational identification (MCID) tags. Molecular systems that display aspects of random access memory illustrate progress in sequential logic.
Self‐Assembly and Self‐Organization
Authors: Geer Michael F. , Shimizu Linda S. 
Published: February 2012

AbstractFrom the child making rock candy with his parents to the physicist studying the cosmic dust in deep space, the process of self‐assembly organizes smaller building blocks into larger discrete structures without outside influence. In this chapter, we identify and examine some of the factors that guide, limit, and define these supramolecular structures from the atomic up to the centimeter scale with a focus on molecular building blocks. The concepts herein provide the reader with an introduction to this fast developing field and highlight its important applications.
Reversible Covalent Bond Toolbox

Published: February 2012

Abstract
In supramolecular chemistry, functional group interactions play a critical role. The use of covalent interactions, however, is not as common as noncovalent interactions mostly because of their irreversible nature. This chapter covers those covalent interactions that are readily reversible and are often used in the construction of supramolecular assemblies and sensor design. Especially important in such work are boronic acid interactions with diols and other nucleophiles/Lewis bases, anion–metal interactions, and aldehyde–amine/alcohol interactions because of their ready reversibility.
Binding Constants and Their Measurement
Authors: Thordarson Pall 
Published: February 2012

Abstract
This chapter is concerned with how binding constants in supramolecular chemistry are determined. It is divided into three main sections. The first and largest section of this chapter details the key mathematical equations used to describe supramolecular equilibria, including common ones such as 1:1, 1:2, and dimerization as well as less frequently encountered 2:1, 2:2, and linear aggregation models. Details are also provided on how these equations are used with commonly used experimental techniques such as NMR, UV–vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as calorimetry. The next section then discusses methods used for the determination of stoichiometry, including Job's method. The final section is concerned with data analysis, including model selection and comparison, global analysis, estimation of uncertainties, software consideration, and a brief review of selected software packages available for analyzing data from supramolecular titrations. Representative examples from the literature are also included to highlight the topics covered in this chapter.
