TL;DR: Three case studies are described which attempt to illustrate the potential value of the OAS-MNR in neurorehabilitation and the use of the scale also provides evidence relating to the continued efficacy of the neurobehavioural model.
Abstract: Challenging behaviour, especially when this takes the form of aggression, may impede or prevent progress in neurorehabilitation. Despite its prevalence, the literature on management of aggression after brain injury is not extensive. It has been suggested that the 'Overt Aggression Scale-Modified for Neurorehabilitation' (OAS-MNR) could be used to help standardize future studies of aggressive behaviour. It was also suggested that this scale has sufficient properties to be useful in clinical work. In this paper, three case studies are described which attempt to illustrate the potential value of the OAS-MNR in neurorehabilitation. The use of the scale also provides evidence relating to the continued efficacy of the neurobehavioural model. In the first study, two cases are described in which reduction in aggression occurred through participation in individualized, needs-led holistic treatment programmes, which incorporated multiple interventions. These were based on neurobehavioural principles. In the second study, a further single case was presented which illustrated how the scale may be used to generate hypotheses regarding aggressive behaviour and to drive treatment. Causation and maintenance of aggression are discussed, especially with regard to cognitive impairment. Finally, practical points relating to the use of the OAS-MNR in clinical practice are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the first study to consider the extent of this impact in Asian societies where the family continues to be a very important basis for social organization and the qualitative data in this paper fleshes out the lived experience of family members and reveals the extent to which the family is mobilized to cope with problem gambling.
Abstract: Problem gambling has a profound impact on family members. While this has been previously documented, this paper reports on the first study to consider the extent of this impact in Asian societies where the family continues to be a very important basis for social organization. This study, based on in-depth interviews with 50 Singaporeans with a family member who is a problem or pathological gambler, examines how their financial, emotional and social well-being is impinged upon by gambling. The enormous losses of savings, property and lifestyle, the emotional tensions based on constant harassment from moneylenders, the threats of suicide by the gambler and the distancing of social networks place family members of problem gamblers in a vulnerable state. The qualitative data in this paper fleshes out the lived experience of family members and reveals the extent to which the family is mobilized in Asian societies to cope with problem gambling. While the impact of problem gambling on families is similar across ...

Abstract: The paper reports two studies concerning attention to and comprehension of Multimedia presentations. The MM sequence used was taken from a commercially produced CD-ROM, ‘The Etiology of Cancer’. First, an eye tracking study of the presentation is reported. A second study was then cortductekl ml the memorisation of the materials used in the eye tracking study. The results of the studies are used to propose guidelines to improve design of MM presentations.

TL;DR: Systane proved effective in reducing the symptoms of dry eye; however induced blur appeared to be a complication for many participants and the results suggest that the gelling properties of HP-Guar may be influential in promoting ocular surface recovery through improved ocularsurface retention.
