Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

27.7K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Group Therapy

451
Group therapy is a sociocultural approach to psychological treatment, where individuals with shared psychological challenges come together under the guidance of a mental health professional. This therapeutic modality offers unique opportunities for individuals to connect, share, and grow within the context of a supportive group. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, group therapy can address a range of psychological concerns effectively, often complementing or surpassing the...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

4.0K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Multiple Voltage Sources01:25

Multiple Voltage Sources

1.8K
Generally, a single battery is not enough to power some devices. In such cases, batteries can be combined in two ways: in series or in parallel.
In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
Batteries are...

Deformation of Member under Multiple Loadings01:11

Deformation of Member under Multiple Loadings

484
When a rod is made of different materials or has various cross-sections, it must be divided into parts that meet the necessary conditions for determining the deformation. These parts are each characterized by their internal force, cross-sectional area, length, and modulus of elasticity. These parameters are then used to compute the deformation of the entire rod.
In the case of a member with a variable cross-section, the strain is not constant but depends on the position. The deformation of an...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This review found insufficient evidence to conclude if occupational therapy benefits multiple sclerosis patients. More high-quality research is urgently needed to establish efficacy for various interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Occupational Therapy

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients experience fatigue, weakness, and coordination issues impacting daily activities and social life.
  • Occupational therapy aims to enhance participation in self-care, work, and leisure for individuals with MS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions for improving functional ability, social participation, and quality of life in MS patients.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of full-length articles from multiple databases (Medline, Cinahl, Embase, etc.) up to December 2002.
  • Included controlled (randomized and non-randomized) and non-controlled studies on occupational therapy for MS.
  • Assessed methodological quality and synthesized findings using a best-evidence approach.

Main Results:

  • Only one randomized controlled trial (RCT) was identified, alongside one controlled clinical trial and one pre-post study.
  • Two studies focused on energy conservation, and one on counseling; results were inconclusive due to study design, quality, and sample size.
  • The high-quality RCT on counseling reported non-significant findings.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence is insufficient to determine the efficacy of occupational therapy for improving outcomes in multiple sclerosis patients.
  • A significant lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials necessitates urgent future research in this area.
  • A preliminary survey of current occupational therapy practices and patient needs is recommended to guide future research agendas.
