Strengthening Social Worker-Client Relationships in Child Protective Services
Authors: Maiter Sarah , Palmer Sally , Manji Shehenaz 
Published: May 2006

Few researchers have set out to explore parents’ feelings about their experiences with Child Protective Services (CPS) particularly as they relate to the relationship between workers and parents who come to the attention of CPS. Yet the worker-client relationship is a central aspect of social work intervention, contributing to positive case resolutions. Understanding aspects of this relationship can contribute to improved CPS. This article reports findings from a qualitative study that used in-depth interviews to explore the experiences of 61 parents who had involvement with CPS.1 Parents appreciated workers who were caring, genuine, empathetic, exceptionally helpful, non-judgmental, and accepting. Negative qualities of workers identified by parents were being judgmental, cold and uncaring, poor listeners, critical, and insincere. Child protection interventions can result in greater actual and/or perceived power imbalances between the client and the worker compared to other social work interventions. Our findings, however, suggest that a positive alliance can be achieved within the context of the adversarial and complex nature of CPS. Possible ways to maintain relationships or rebuild ‘ruptured’ relationships are suggested.
Dementia and Residential Placement
Authors: Chene Bruno 
Published: May 2006

The purpose of this research is to discover dementia carers’ lived experience when they have relinquished full-time care. It is assumed that once family members make a decision to relinquish full-time care, the stresses of day-to-day care-giving will be eliminated. Twenty primary caregivers from Aged Care/Aged Psychiatry Units in Melbourne were recruited through a consecutive sampling procedure to participate in the study. The Stress Process Model was utilized to explain why dementia caregiving is so stressful. A mixed-method research approach that consisted of qualitative and quantitative methodologies was utilized. In-depth interviews with caregivers revealed the difficult and stressful aspects of dementia caregiving while waiting for residential care. A majority of dementia care-givers had experienced both complex and traumatic admissions to the Aged/Psychiatric Inpatient Units. Carers felt alone in making the ‘most difficult’ decision to relinquish full-time care, and these carers experienced loss, sadness and resignation after having made this decision. Carers of Non-English Speaking Background had a compromised life satisfaction and poor psychological health. One-half of all caregivers who participated in the study were seen to be at risk of depression that would warrant professional intervention. Results that have not previously been reported in the dementia caregiving literature were the compromised life satisfaction and poor psychological health of carers from Non-English Speaking Background. The study concludes that social workers and other professionals need to become aware of the consequences of placement so that increased support can be offered to dementia caregivers during this difficult phase of caregiving. The practice implications include the identification of at risk carer groups and the need for appropriate supports for dementia caregivers at all stages of the caring process.

Authors: Ignacimuthu S , Ayyanar M , Sivaraman K Sankara 
Published: May 2006

Abstract

Background
An ethnobotanical survey was carried out to collect information on the use of medicinal plants in Southern Western Ghats of India (Madurai district, Tamil Nadu). Information presented in this paper was gathered from the paliyar tribes using an integrated approach of botanical collections, group discussions and interviews with questionnaires in the years 1998 – 1999. The informants interviewed were 12 among whom 4 were tribal practitioners.

Results
A total of 60 ethnomedicinal plant species distributed in 32 families are documented in this study. The medicinal plants used by paliyars are listed with Latin name, family, local name, parts used, mode of preparation and medicinal uses. Generally, fresh part of the plant was used for the preparation of medicine.

Conclusion
We observed that the documented ethnomedicinal plants were mostly used to cure skin diseases, poison bites, stomachache and nervous disorders. The results of this study showed that these tribal people still depend on medicinal plants in Madurai district forest areas.

Published: May 2006

AbstractBackgroundBased on a recognized need for research to examine the premise that nonsurgical approaches can be used effectively to treat signs and symptoms of scoliosis, a scientific society on scoliosis orthopaedic and rehabilitation treatment (SOSORT) was established in Barcelona in 2004. SOSORT has a primary goal of implementing multidisciplinary research to develop quantitative, objective data to address the role of conservative therapies in the treatment of scoliosis. This international working group of clinicians and scientists specializing in treatment of scoliosis met in Milan, Italy in January 2005.MethodsAs a baseline for developing a consensus for language and goals for proposed multicenter clinical studies, we developed questionnaires to examine current beliefs, before and after the meeting, regarding (1) the aims of physical exercises; (2) standards of treatment; and (3) the impact of such treatment performed by specialists in the field.ResultsThe responses to the questionnaires show that, in principle, specialists in scoliosis physiotherapy do not disagree and that several features can be regarded, currently, as standard features in the rehabilitation of scoliosis patients. These features include autocorrection in 3D, training in ADL, stabilizing the corrected posture, and patient education.

Published: May 2006

Zusammenfassung
Zum Nachweis einer Typ IV-Sensibilisierung auf Allergene und Haptene ist der Epikutantest die am häufigsten verwendete diagnostische Methode. Auch wenn dieser Test in der Hand erfahrener Untersucher in vielen Fällen für die Allergenidentifizierung bei Kontaktallergien sehr hilfreich ist, werden vom Kliniker dafür auch standardisierte in vitro-Methoden gefordert, ganz besonders für die Testung potentiell sensibilisierender toxischer oder karzinogener Substanzen. Die Entwicklungen der Zellkulturtechniken in den letzten Jahren haben dazu geführt, dass die heute in spezialisierten Laboratorien durchgeführten zellulären Verfahren, insbesondere bei umweltmedizinisch vorbelasteten Patienten, für den Nachweis von Typ IV-Sensibilisierungen eine sichere Alternative darstellen. Dabei sind die Möglichkeiten, aber auch die Grenzen derartiger in vitro-Verfahren zu berücksichtigen.
Heute stellt der Lymphozytentransformationstest (LTT) eine wichtige Alternative und Ergänzung zum Epikutantest für den Nachweis einer spezifischen Typ IV-Sensibilisierung dar. Vor- und Nachteile beider Verfahren hinsichtlich ihrer diagnostischen Spezifität und Sensitivität sowie die sich daraus ergebenden Schlussfolgerungen für den Einsatz in der Routinediagnostik werden dargestellt.
A constitutional telomeric translocation showing meiotic instability
Authors: Josifova D.J. , Mazzaschi R. , Ballard T. , Ogilvie C. Mackie , Splitt M. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractConstitutional telomeric translocations are rare chromosome rearrangements. They are thought to occur as a result of chromosome breakage and subsequent ligation with the telomeric sequence of a different chromosome. Most frequently they occur as de novo events and, depending on the donor chromosome breakpoint, may be associated with an abnormal phenotype. We report a case of an unbalanced translocation involving the long arm of chromosome 15 and the short arm of chromosome 8 [45,XY, der(8)t(8;15)(p23.3;q11.2),‐15], diagnosed prenatally; the father carried an unbalanced translocation of the long arm of chromosome 15 and the short arm of chromosome 2 [45,XY,der(2)t(2;15)(p25.3;q11.2),‐15]. Both translocations were shown to have telomere repeat sequences at the translocation breakpoints. There was no apparent imbalance of euchromatic material in either translocation, and no associated abnormal phenotype. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Array‐based comparative genomic hybridization facilitates identification of breakpoints of a novel der(1)t(1;18)(p36.3;q23)dn in a child presenting with mental retardation

Published: May 2006

AbstractMonosomy of distal 1p36 represents the most common terminal deletion in humans and results in one of the most frequently diagnosed mental retardation syndromes. This deletion is considered a contiguous gene deletion syndrome, and has been shown to vary in deletion sizes that contribute to the spectrum of phenotypic anomalies seen in patients with monosomy 1p36. We report on an 8‐year‐old female with characteristics of the monosomy 1p36 syndrome who demonstrated a novel der(1)t(1;18)(p36.3;q23). Initial G‐banded karyotype analysis revealed a deleted chromosome 1, with a breakpoint within 1p36.3. Subsequent FISH and array‐based comparative genomic hybridization not only confirmed and partially characterized the deletion of chromosome 1p36.3, but also uncovered distal trisomy for 18q23. In this patient, the duplicated 18q23 is translocated onto the deleted 1p36.3 region, suggesting telomere capture. Molecular characterization of this novel der(1)t(1;18)(p36.3;q23), guided by our clinical array‐comparative genomic hybridization, demonstrated a 3.2 Mb terminal deletion of chromosome 1p36.3 and a 200 kb duplication of 18q23 onto the deleted 1p36.3, presumably stabilizing the deleted chromosome 1. DNA sequence analysis around the breakpoints demonstrated no homology, and therefore this telomere capture of distal 18q is apparently the result of a non‐homologous recombination. Partial trisomy for 18q23 has not been previously reported. The importance of mapping the breakpoints of all balanced and unbalanced translocations found in the clinical laboratory, when phenotypic abnormalities are found, is discussed. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Genotype–phenotype correlations in mapped split hand foot malformation (SHFM) patients
Authors: Elliott Alison M. , Evans Jane A. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractSplit hand foot malformation (SHFM) also known as central ray deficiency, ectrodactyly and cleft hand/foot, is one of the most complex of limb malformations. SHFM can occur as an isolated malformation or in association with other malformations, as in the ectrodactyly‐ectodermal dysplasia‐clefting (EEC) syndrome and other autosomal dominant conditions with long bone involvement, all showing variable expressivity and reduced penetrance. The deficiency in SHFM patients can also be accompanied by other distal limb anomalies including polydactyly and/or syndactyly. This variability causes the phenotypic classification of SHFM to be far from straightforward and genetic heterogeneity, with at least five loci identified to date, further complicates management of affected patients and their families. Although genotypic–phenotypic correlations have been proposed at the molecular level for SHFM4 patients who have mutations in the P63 gene, phenotypic correlations at the chromosomal level have not been thoroughly documented. Using descriptive epidemiology, Chi square and discriminant function analyses, our laboratory has identified phenotypic patterns associated with the mapped genetic SHFM loci. These findings can assist in classification, provide insight into responsible developmental genes and assist in directing mapping efforts and targeted genetic testing, resulting in more accurate information for family members in the clinical setting. Comparison with relevant animal models is discussed. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
