A dynamic visual compendium follows Kerr's narrative adventure, challenging our perception of our physical environment and casting us as tourists confronting familiar, already-experienced situations coloured by a lens of estrangement" -- p.

The use of antiepileptic medication in adults with intellectual disabilities: a serious conundrum
No full textUntil the early 1990s, six major drugs existed in the treatment of epilepsy. By 2004, ten new antiepilepsy drugs (AEDs) were made available in the UK. Currently, the available number of AEDs has grown to over 20. There are a number of concerns posed by these medications, ranging from teratogenic concerns to negative impact upon cognitive function to worsening behavior, all which can have an effect upon quality of life of the person with epilepsy (PWE). While treatment guidelines have suggested that the newer AEDs tend to be better tolerated and affect cognitive functioning to a lesser degree than older AED options, the evidence base applied to people with intellectual disability (ID) has not been suitably explored. About 25 % of PWE also have an ID. This group has communication issues, premature mortality, more treatment resistance, difficulties in making informed choices, and greater risks of physical and mental health comorbidities. There is no specific prescribing guidance for this large, heterogeneous, and vulnerable group.
Identifying adverse effects to treatment is extremely challenging in PWE with an ID due to the presence of complex comorbidities and often profound communication barriers. This chapter looks to consolidate the current evidence and good practice needed to prescribe specifically in a PWE and ID. It takes into consideration and brings together a wide range of contextual good practice literature from both the ID research world, such as concepts of mental capacity, and the epilepsy world, such as the latest epilepsy medication and drug effects, thus helping straddle the diverse yet fast-developing nature of both the epilepsy and ID scientific worlds. To help present concepts and to highlight clinical complexity, ten case vignettes have been presented. It would be considered an essential read to any clinical practitioner who manages PWE and ID
A national survey of Rett syndrome : age, clinical characteristics, current abilities, and health
No full textAs part of a wider study to investigate the behavioral phenotype of a national sample of girls and women with Rett syndrome (RTT) in comparison to a well-chosen contrast group and its relationship to parental well-being, the development, clinical severity, current abilities and health of 91 participants were analyzed in relation to diagnostic, clinical and genetic mutation categories. Early truncating mutations or large deletions were associated with greater severity. Early regression was also associated with greater severity. All three were associated with lower current abilities. Epilepsy and weight, gastrointestinal and bowel problems were common co-morbidities. Participants with classic RTT had greater health problems than those with atypical RTT. A substantial minority of respondents reported fairly frequent signs of possible pain experienced by their relative with RTT. Overall, the study provides new data on the current abilities and general health of people with RTT and adds to the evidence that the severity of the condition and variation of subsequent disability, albeit generally within the profound range, may be related to gene mutation. The presence of certain co-morbidities represents a substantial ongoing need for better health. The experience of pain requires further investigation
A Future Vision For The Engineering Design Environment: A Future Sociotechnical Scenario
No full textThis paper presents a future vision for the working practices of designers within a manufacturing organisation. By its very nature the engineering design environment is highly distributed in nature and is characterised by a large number of information sources, which together with the designers forms a complex sociotechnical system. In discussions with designers it is apparent that changes are required to this environment to reflect the changes in the design process and organisations. We have developed a scenario that incorporates many of the features requested by designers and managers to improve the design environment. The scenario sets out a route map for the development of technical and social tools that aid the designer

<p><em><a href="http://bit.ly/forwardheadposturefixs"><strong>Forward Head Posture Fix</strong></a></em> might make you think of the song, “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, Knees and Toes…” but it’s not for kids. Instead, it’s for the complete opposite! As you age, your spine begins to curve, neck and back pain increase, and you start to channel your inner Hunchback of Notre Dame. And it’s not a laughing matter. The discomfort can be unbearable at times, and the brain fog added on top of looking like an old man (or woman) only makes it worse. While aging is inevitable, the pain and discomfort doesn’t have to be, and by targeting one muscle – yes, only one – you can realign your posture and diminish all of those terrible aging symptoms that your bad back is causing.</p>
<p><strong>What is Forward Head Posture Fix About?</strong></p>
<p>To put it simply, Forward Head Posture Fix is a program that fixes <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/pain/posture-and-back-health">bad posture and all the problems associated with it</a>. But of course, it’s also much more elaborate than that. The online program teaches you the ins and outs of your posture; why it’s important; the health risks associated with a poor posture and much more. This is a valuable aspect because when you know why your body is reacting a certain way, you can better understand how this system will correct it. Additionally, knowing how your posture impacts your musculoskeletal and neural system, as well your physical activity and peak performance is a huge motivator to commit to the routine provided.</p>
<p>So, you don’t just learn what you need to do to fix your posture and all the headaches, tension, and discomfort that comes with it. You learn the importance of doing so and why it’s something you shouldn’t ignore any longer.</p>

It’s completely up to you and whether or not you even want to keep doing the program is completely up to you because it comes with a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee which means, if you don’t like the results, you can get a refund no questions asked.

<li>
<p>Posture’s Impact on the Musculoskeletal and Neural Systems</p>
</li>

<ul>
<li>
<p>Injury and Pain in the Body Caused by Texting Neck</p>
</li>

Change over a 16 month period in the psychological well-being of mothers of girls and women with Rett syndrome
No full textPurpose: There is an emerging research literature on the experiences of family members of girls and women with Rett syndrome (RTT), but a lack of longitudinal data. Methods. Fifty mothers whose daughters had RTT were surveyed 16—17 months after an earlier cross-sectional study. Measures completed at both time points focused on maternal positive and negative psychological well-being and their daughters’ behavioural and emotional problems and RTT behavioural phenotype severity. Results: Maternal stress, anxiety and depression demonstrated at least moderate levels of stability. Maternal positive perceptions were also moderately stable over 16—17 months. Longitudinal analyses suggested that their daughters’ behavioural and emotional problems rather than RTT behavioural phenotype severity predicted later maternal well-being. Conclusion: Mothers with RTT daughters experience chronic stress (persisting over time) but also ongoing positive perceptions. Practitioners should recognise positive perceptions, and also consider targeted behavioural parent training to reduce behaviour problems in individuals with RTT
