Let There Be Light: Universal Self-Reflection Theory: The Universe as a Self-Observing, Self-Refining System Through the Mirror Test Analogy
Creators: name: Sambey, Stanley Everett
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper presents the Universal Self-Reflection Theory (USRT), a unifiedframework positing reality as a self-observing, self-refining system. IntegratingHarmonic Refinement Theory (HRT), Unified Wave Integration Theory (UWIT),and Cyclic Refinement Theory (CRT), USRT asserts that all probable reality is thesum of chaos being refined to a single cohesion, which is then re-explored in morecomplexity and refinement, with “total reality” being the culmination of each levelbefore it. The mirror test analogy exemplifies this process: the universe reflectsupon itself, much like organisms recognizing their image in a mirror, with thedeepest intelligences consolidating all data before further expansion. USRT unifiesthe “how” and “why” of existence into a single explanatory narrative: the universeevolves toward self-awareness through iterative refinement.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dietary Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) intake and urinary excretion in domestic cats. Spot urine samples and questionnaires were obtained from 54 adult healthy domestic cats, receiving either a primarily raw diets (AGEs free) or commercial heat-treated diets (AGEs containing). Urinary free carboxymethyllysine (CML), carboxyethyllysine (CEL), Lysinoalanine (LAL) and pyrraline (PYR) were analyzed using UHPLC-MS.

Our results revealed significant positive relations between intake and urinary excretion of CML, CEL, LAL and PYR. Endogenous formation was shown in cats, as excretion in the raw-fed group was found. Current data suggest that dietary AGEs are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and excreted via the urinary system of cats.

description: This study aimed to investigate whether a surplus of vitrified blastocysts correlated with ongoing pregnancy by analyzing the clinical outcomes of fresh transfer cycles with/without a surplus of vitrified blastocysts. This was a retrospective analysis carried out in the Reproductive Medicine Center of Guizhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital between January 2020 and December 2021. Overall, 2482 fresh embryo transfer cycles were included in this study, including 1731 cycles with a surplus of vitrified blastocysts (group A) and 751 cycles with no surplus of vitrified blastocysts (group B). The clinical outcomes of fresh embryo transfer cycles were analyzed and compared between the two groups. In total, the clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) and ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) after fresh transfer in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (59% vs. 34.1%, p < .001; 51.9% vs. 27.8%, p < .001, respectively). Moreover, the miscarriage rate was significantly lower in group A when compared to that in group B (10.8% vs. 16.8%, p = .008). When grouped by either female age or the number of good-quality embryos transferred, the same trends for CPR and OPR were seen in all subgroups. After adjusting for potential confounding factors in multivariate analysis, a surplus of vitrified blastocysts remained significantly associated with a higher OPR (OR: 1.52; 95% CI:1.21–1.92). Ongoing pregnancy outcome increases significantly in fresh transfer cycle with a surplus of vitrified blastocysts.

Diagnostic notes.
The specimen collected by Wranik on Abd el Kuri fits Ochrilidia geniculata following the key of Jago (1977). Its measurements are within the range of the 25 females studied by Massa (2009), except for the shorter hind femur (Table 3). As the identification of Ochrilidia species is mainly based on males, we treat the taxon as Ochrilidia cf. O. geniculata.
Ochrilidia geniculata differs from O. socotrae Massa, 2009 primarily in its larger size (Table 3) and its temporal foveolae, of which the lower edges are completely visible from above. In O. gracilis nyuki (Sjösted, 1909), the temporal foveolae are not visible from above and the inner lower lobes of the hind knees do not have a block dot. The male genitalia are species-specific.
Distribution and occurrence.
This species inhabits large parts of northern Africa, south into Kenya, on the Arabian Peninsula and east through Iran into India. There is only one record from Abd el Kuri (Fig. 46).
Habitat and biology.
The habitat of O. geniculata on Abd el Kuri is unknown.

description: Menstrual cycle has a significant impact on women’s health from different perspectives, both physically and psychologically. The assessment of menstrual-related distress is of pivotal clinical interest, especially in women with chronic exposure to abnormal bleeding or pain. The Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MEDI-Q) is a new tool originally developed in Italian that comprehensively evaluates menstrual-related distress. To validate the English version of the MEDI-Q in an English-speaking population. The study consisted of two phases: an initial translation phase of the original Italian version of the MEDI-Q, and a data collection phase to validate the new English version among 288 native English-speaking women. The English version of MEDI-Q showed excellent psychometric properties, with high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.84) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.95). Construct validity was supported by significant correlations between MEDI-Q scores and scores on measures of psychological distress and premenstrual symptoms. The English version of the MEDI-Q is a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of menstrual distress and its impact on psychological well-being. This tool can be utilized in research and clinical settings to comprehensively investigate the impact of menstruation on various populations, identify and monitor menstruation-related disorders promptly and effectively, and to evaluate the effectiveness of targeted treatments for menstrual distress.

description: Non-enzymatic glycation (NEG) has to be studying in connection with other reactions. We have shown that methylglyoxal-caused NEG is accompanied with appearance of radical intermediates: methylglyoxal (MG) anion-radical and Schiff base cation-radical. Methylglyoxal anion-radical is responsible for formation of other radical products: superoxide, peroxynitrite and nitrogen dioxide. Nitric oxide (NO) donors S-nitrosothiols inhibite forming of fluorescent glycation products when bio-molecules (hemoproteins, albumin, carnosine) incubating with MG [1]. Other NO metabolites/donors also demonstrated antiglycating properties. The most effective were dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs).
 NO is stabilizing in DNICs. Thiol-containing DNICs (DNIC-Cys, DNIC-GS) are the most frequent. They are destroying by superoxide producing in glycation reactions and directly by MG. We have shown that MG destroys DNIC-Cys, but DNIC-GS are not disintegrating or are transforming to binuclear form. EPR spectroscopy displays appearance of new type DNICs [2]. MG also stimulates formation of carnosine-bound DNICs. MG-caused modification of amino acids and proteins leads to the new DNIC-fastening sites. Thus DNIC is the node of the reactions net uniting metabolism of ROS, RNS, reactive carbonyl compounds and thiols.

Cette dernière campagne dans le cadre de cette action a pour objectif de terminer une opération de test du chalut Mermed démarrée durant les campagnes TECPEC3 d'octobre 2003 et TECPEC4 d'octobre 2004 qui n'avait pu être réalisée plus tôt. Ce chalut de fond à quatre faces est équipé d'une nappe séparatrice horizontale placée au milieu des faces de côtés et scindant le chalut en deux parties sur toute sa longueur. Il permet ainsi de relever d'éventuels différences de comportement concernant la répartition bathymétrique du merlu selon ses différentes classes d'âge.De nouvelles poches avaient été testées en 2004. Elles permettent une meilleure filtration et facilitent le passage du poisson vers les culs du chalut. Une nouvelle nappe séparatrice en petit maillage empêchant le passage du poisson d'un étage à l'autre dans le corps du chalut avait également été installée. Des moyens vidéo (EROC) avaient permis de vérifier le bon fonctionnement de ce chalut en action de pêche. L'enjeu principal de cette campagne est d'évaluer le comportement des poissons face au chalut sur les zones 0-5 m et 5-10 m au-dessus du fond, par les captures réalisées dans chacune des deux poches.Le projet de rattachement est le Projet Intégré Méditerranée (PIM-MEDICIS).

description: Anesthesia is a vital aspect of modern medicine, too often looked upon as a last resort. It plays an important role in the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures carried out today. The success of the procedure varies from survival to mild or severe morbidity and bereavement, and depends to a large extent on the appropriateness with which it is used. This is especially true in pediatric patients, in whom misunderstandings regarding cognitive effects of both anesthesia and surgery in younger children have in the past led professionals and parents to understate its potential benefits. As compared to adults, these potential benefits are greater and the risk acceptance is higher. Failure to relieve anxiety and stress can hinder cooperation and result in procedure termination.

description: This study aimed to identify novel pathogenic genes and variants in a Chinese family with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). A Chinese POI family was enrolled in this study. Whole exome sequencing was performed on the proband and her mother to identify the potential causative genes and variants and Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the finally identified potential pathogenic variant in the family. An assessment of the family pedigree suggested that POI was inherited in an autosomal dominant manner in this family. A novel missense variant of the laminin subunit gamma-1 gene (LAMC1; NM_002293.4: c.3281A > T, p.D1094V) was finally identified in the proband and her affected mother. This variant was not found in any public databases. In silico analysis indicated the amino acid encoded at the variant site was highly conserved among mammals and associated with decreased protein stability and disrupted protein function. Its presence in the POI family was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. This study firstly reported a novel missense variant of LAMC1 in a Chinese POI family, which was inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. This variant may result in the development of POI. Our results provide supporting evidence for a causative role for LAMC1 variants in POI.

Figs 47, 48
References for Socotra.
Jago 1977: 191, figs 74, 76, 79, 100; Guichard 1992: 186.
Diagnostic notes.
The main diagnostic character of Ochrilidia gracilis nyuki is its fastigium of the vertex that protrudes extensively in front of the eyes. The part of the fastigium in front of the eyes is much longer than the maximum width of the vertex at the frontal edge of the eyes in dorsal view. In the nominate ssp. (not present on Socotra), the fastigium in front of the frontal edge of the eyes is as long as it is wide (Jago 1977). The antenna segments 2–8 are very wide and flattened compared to the other segments, much more so than in the two other occurring species. The temporal foveolae are invisible from above (Fig. 47) (Jago 1977). The inner ventral lobes of the hind knees do not bear a black dot.
Distribution and occurrence.
O. gracilis occurs in North Africa and the Middle East, eastwards through Iran and into India. The ssp. nyuki is confined to the Horn of Africa and Socotra. Its occurrence on Socotra is only known from one collecting event at Hadiboh Plain in 1967.
Habitat and biology.
According to Guichard’s travel journal, O. gracilis has been found in a “ new tufted grass habitat near the foot of Ras Hazira M …. [= Moukaradia Pass], north [not north, but west] of Hadiboh ”. Jago (1977) described the habitat of O. gracilis as riverine floodplains and well-watered areas by run-offs from massifs and plateaus. Adaptation to these wet habitats in north-eastern Africa and Socotra has led to the evolution of the elongated ssp. nyuki according to Jago (1977).

Parallèlement, le projet VESPA se focalise sur les premières manifestations de volcanisme d'arc associées à l'initiation de la zone de subduction des Tonga-Kermadec. Les résultats attendus des deux projets de campagne ouvriront de nouvelles perspectives quant à la compréhension du phénomène d'initiation de zone de subduction et permettront de contraindre plus précisément les paramètres d'entrée de nouveaux modèles numériques d'initiation de subduction.

description: Background: Over the last decade, an emerging role of novel cytokines in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been proposed. The present study was implemented to provide a more accurate estimate of the effect size of the association between leptin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the risk of GDM.Methods: Online databases were looked up to January 2023 using the search string: (leptin OR TNF-α OR IL-6) AND “gestational diabetes.” Observational studies investigating the association of selected cytokines and GDM risk were included. Odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and random-effects models were used to estimate the pooled effect.Results: Twenty-four studies were included in the meta-analysis. A significant association was found between higher circulating leptin and the risk of GDM and the pooled estimate was 1.16 (95%CI: 1.07, 1.27). Higher circulating levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were associated with increased risk of GDM, and the pooled estimates were 1.35 (95%CI: 1.05, 1.73) and 1.28 (95%CI: 1.01, 1.62), respectively.Conclusions: The studied cytokines could be implicated in the GDM pathogenesis and used as potential biomarkers for assessing the GDM risk. Additional longitudinal studies with large sample sizes are needed for a further evaluation of these findings.

description: High volumes of wasted products of fish are generated with food processing despite their potential nutrition value. Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) treated with enzymes are prepared from the wasted products. We studied the physicochemical and hepato-protective properties of FPH-ribose conjugate (FPHC) prepared by Maillard reaction (MR). As compared with FPH, FPHC gave different rheological properties which showed enhancing stability of heat, emulsifying and foaming. Also, FPHC protected hepatocyte, HepG2 cell against t-BHP-induced cytotoxicity with increasing level of intracellular glutathione. FPHC enhanced phase II-antioxidant enzyme expressions of HO-1 and γ-GCL via the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/Nrf2 signaling pathway. These results suggest that FPHC prepared by MR shows the potential use as a functional food ingredient having improved rheological and antioxidant properties.

description: Objectives:

Diabetic complications, including an impaired immune response, are accepted to be the result of hyperglycaemia1, which leads to glycation of proteins. The innate immune response is similar in a wide range of animals2 and currently large numbers of vertebrates are used in diabetes research3. I have developed an invertebrate model of hyperglycaemia that can be used to investigate the effect of protein glycation on the innate immune response, with a view to reducing the use of vertebrates.

Methodology:

Manduca sexta larvae were fed an artificial diet modified with a range of glucose concentrations. The concentration of sugars in the haemolymph (blood) was determined using ion chromatography. Protein glycation was investigated using flu-PAGE4. Affected proteins were identified by mass spectrometry.

Results:

Diets containing greater than 9% glucose reduced growth and rate of development of larvae, and efficiency of digestion was reduced. The concentration of glucose in haemolymph (blood) was found to be consistently elevated in larvae fed 6% glucose diet compared to the normal artificial diet. Proteins important in the immune response were amongst those damaged by glycation.

Conclusion:

We have a hyperglycaemic invertebrate model which can be developed further to investigate glycation inhibitors and other potential therapeutic agents.

description: Identifying sequences with frequent patterns is a major data-mining problem in computational biology, in this work, our focus is on utilizing a HMM like model for extracting sequences with interesting frequent patterns from a set of unlabeled sequences in a heavy noise environment. First we show that the likelihood objective function for HMMs is very sensitive to noise which limits its use to labeled sequences. Then we introduce an alternative model that we call Hidden States Model, HSM, which is a HMM with customizable objective function, OF. We show empirically (on synthetic data to facilitate precise performance evaluation) how OFs can be customized to target specific information such as patterns frequency and size. Results Show HSM vastly outperformed HMM in extracting sequences with interesting patterns for both unmutated and mutated data.
Antioxidant Properties of Heterocyclic Maillard Reaction Intermediates

Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: The antioxidant properties of different heterocyclic Maillard reaction products and structural related substances with and without reductone structure were compared in detail. The following five assays were used to measure the antioxidant capacity: TEAC (reduction of a radical cation), FCR (reduction of the Folin-Ciocalteu Reagent), EPR (time-dependent radical scavenging), CUPRAC (reduction of copper(II) ions) and phenanthrolin (reduction of iron(III) ions). The last two assays were especially important, because they allow the identification of compounds that are reductive in presence of redox active metal ions. Such compounds are capable to induce the generation of reactive oxygen species via redox cycling, consequently creating a prooxidative milieu.
 Amongst the tested reductones were maltol, DHHM, furaneol, and derivates of the named substances. With the exception of maltol derivates all reductones showed antioxidant capacities comparable to ascorbic acid, which was utilized as benchmark reductone. Furans and pyrroles like hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, 2-acetylfuran and 2-acetylpyrrole did not show measurable antioxidant capacities.
After incubation of selected reductones with Fremy’s salt or iron(III) the oxidation products were analyzed to get indications of the involved reaction mechanisms. Additionally, electrochemical oxidation experiments with ESI-MS coupling were conducted to detect possible highly reactive intermediate stages.

description: Objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an insulin resistance- and lipotoxicity-related condition. We evaluated the role of glycation, often present without overt hyperglycaemia like in prediabetes and obesity1, in the dysregulation of hepatic lipid metabolism and in the induction of glucose dysmetabolism.
 Methods: An animal model of high-triglyceride diet-induced obesity (HFD), methylglyoxal (MG)-induced glycation (MG) or both (HFDMG) was used to asses liver lipid species in vivo by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and ex vivo by mass spectrometry (MS) and gas chromatography (GC), followed by western blotting and histologic analysis (n=6/group).
 Results: Although the high-fat diet increased liver fat mass in the MRS, only MG supplementation decreased unsaturated lipids, esterification and triglyceride levels (MRS and MS). HFDMG group also had decreased levels of plasmalogens (antioxidant phospholipids) and cardiolipins (mitochondrial phospholipids) in MS and GC analysis. Moreover, when combined to the high-fat diet glycation decreased insulin signalling and upregulated de novo fatty acid synthesis pathways.
 Conclusions: Although the high-fat diet alone increased liver fat fraction, only the association with glycation changed lipid metabolism, contributing to the hepatic lipotoxicity observed in NAFLD. Such mechanisms contribute to the vicious circle between insulin resistance, glucose dysmetabolism and NAFLD progression.

description: Neonatal outcomes in women with and without medically managed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were compared after accounting for differences in maternal baseline characteristics using a propensity score (PS) analysis. Women without preexisting diabetes, delivering singletons during 2010-2017 in a large hospital, were eligible for inclusion. Using nearest-neighbour PS matching, women with non-pharmacological managed GDM were matched with women whose GDM was medically managed. A conditional logistic regression consequently compared the neonatal adverse outcomes between the groups after adjusting for gestational age, induction of labor, birth type, and number of ultrasounds conducted during the pregnancy. Of the overall 10028 births, GDM was diagnosed in 930 (9.3%), of whom 710 (76.3%) were successfully matched. The conditional regressions found higher risk of neonatal adverse outcomes in neonates of women with non-pharmacological managed GDM compared to neonates of women with medically managed GDM. These included a higher risk of hypoglycemia (odds ratio (OR) 1.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03–2.38, p = 0.037), hypothermia (OR 2.29, 95%CI 1.05-5.00, p = 0.037), and birth injuries (OR 3.50, 95%CI 1.62–7.58, p = 0.001), and a higher risk of being small for gestational age (OR 2.06, 95%CI 1.01-4.18, p = 0.046) and being admitted to a special care unit (OR 2.04, 95%CI 1.29-3.21, p = 0.002). The increased neonatal morbidity associated with non-medicated GDM identified in our study may indicate that diet and lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient to achieve glycaemic control in some women with GDM. Our findings indicate that gestational diabetes management approach is independently associated with neonatal outcomes.
Senior Multipurpose Facilities and Quality of Life among African American Older Adults: A Case Study

description: Little is known about the impact of senior multipurpose facilities on the quality of life of African American elders. This thesis examined the context of African American elders’ participation in these facilities. Qualitative methods were used. Fifteen in-depth participant interviews, one facility program coordinator interview and eighteen weeks of participant observation were completed. The principles of grounded-theory method were used during data analysis. Findings reveal that racial experiences played an important role in participants’ sense of community. Female and male participants engaged in different types of activities. While some participants reported physical improvements, all participants recounted social and emotional benefits as a result of participation. Participation at the facility facilitated the construction of new self identities. This study increases the knowledge of African American seniors’ participation in senior multipurpose facilities. It also provides data to generate research questions for future comparative studies in predominantly black and white senior multipurpose facilities.

description: Today, the chemosphere’s and biosphere’s compositions of the planet are changing faster than experienced during the past thousand years. CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion are rising dramatically, including those from processing, manufacturing and consuming everyday products; this rate of greenhouse gas emission (36.2 gigatons accumulated in 2022) is raising global temperatures and destabilizing the climate, which is one of the most influential forces on our planet. As our world warms up, our climate will enter a period of constant turbulence, affecting more than 85% of our ecosystems, including the delicate web of life on these systems, and impacting socioeconomic networks. How do we deal with the green transition to minimize climate change and its impacts while we are facing these new realities? One of the solutions is to use renewable natural resources. Indeed, nature itself, through the working parts of its living systems, the enzymes, can significantly contribute to achieve climate neutrality and good ecological/biodiversity status. Annually they can help decreasing CO2 emissions by 1–2.5 billion-tons, carbon demand by about 200 million-tons, and chemical demand by about 90 million-tons. With current climate change goals, we review the consequences of climate change at multiple scales and how enzymes can counteract or mitigate them. We then focus on how they mobilize sustainable and greener innovations in consumer products that have a high contribution to global carbon emissions. Finally, key innovations and challenges to be solved at the enzyme and product levels are discussed.

description: Avec le Bassin de Marennes-Oléron comme site d'étude et la sole commune comme espèce cible de cette opération, la question centrale concerne les modalités de l'occupation estivale des zonesde nourrissage ('nourricerie') et/ou de refuge dans un milieu modifié par des impacts d'origine anthropique (emprises conchylicoles et pêche côtière). Ce projet doit contribuer à une meilleure définition de l'habitat réalisé dans la nourricerie potentielle que représentent les zones de substrats meubles des Pertuis Charentais. Cette campagne exploratoire visait à tester deux systèmes de télémétrie acoustique pour étudier le comportement des soles. Durant les 12 jours attribués, trois types opérations ont été réalisés : 1) suivi en continu des déplacements de soles équipées d'émetteurs ultrasoniques (4 trackings de 48 h chacun), 2) échantillonnages qualitatifs par chalutages (17 traits de 10 min environ) et 3) poses d'engins dormants ('verveux') dans les zones non accessibles au chalutage. Cette campagne confirme le rôle de nourricerie joué par le Bassin de Marennes-Oléron. Cette nourricerie soutient l'ensemble des classes d'âge qui y trouvent nourriture et probablement refuge. En première analyse, la télémétrie vérifie une forte liaison des déplacements avec les conditions de marée. L'ampleur des déplacements observes fait que ce milieu, très fortement structuré par les activités conchylicoles, reste néanmoins largement ouvert. D'autres analyses porteront sur l'analyse de la croissance et du régime alimentaire. Le projet de rattachement est PNEC'99. La carte de la campagne représente le site prospecté durant la campagne (coordonnées WGS 84). Les symboles rouges correspondent aux points de mouillage des bouées de télémétrie, l'ellipse, à la zone de lâcher des soles marquées et les symboles jaunes aux points de filage et de virage des traits de chalut (le trait 4 a été fait à partir du N-D de la Merci). Les zones hachurées figurent les parcs ostréicoles.

description: The Maillard reaction products from the reaction of asparagine and reducing sugars are most significant in the formation of acrylamide and acrylamide precursor network. A combination of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry and a coupled HPLC-FTIR system have been applied towards the characterization of the Glucose/Asparagine model system initial reaction products at pH 8 in the T=25-140 0C range. At T= 140 °C there was full deamination of asparagine. The intermediate reaction species of the Asn-Gluc reaction were characterized by detection of the vibrational marker bands of the CGluc-N(H)=CAsn moiety of the Schiff base. Although the structure of Asparagine is altered at higher temperatures the vibrations describing the reaction intermediates remained the same and at pH 8 the Schiff base was not hydrolyzed to precursors or rearranged to Amadori products indicating that deamination is more predominant over decarboxylation.

Older Adults' Satisfaction with Physical Therapists' Communication and Physical Therapy Treatment
Creators: name: Lakatoo, Neela
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Little research documents the impact of communication on the relationship between the physical therapist and the older patient. As key health professionals, physical therapists need to know the degree to which a therapeutic relationship is occurring with the older adults they treat, and what aspects of the communication process can be improved to effectively meet the needs of this unique patient population.

This exploratory study examines the relationships between older adults’ perceptions of physical therapists’ patient-centered communication (PCC), and their satisfaction with communication and physical therapy treatment (SPT). The sample consisted of 40 participants from 4 different physical therapy sites, including a hospital-based outpatient department, an outpatient aquatics practice, a sports-based outpatient clinic, and a home health company. The findings indicate that physical therapists’ use of PCC behaviors, especially clarity, empathy, listening, humor, and immediacy was positively associated with older adults’ satisfaction with communication and with physical therapy care.
