Inherited thalassaemia disease is commonly found in many countries of the world. Care of the disease requires comprehensive management strategies comprising of clinical management of both transfusion dependant thalassaemia (TDT) and non-transfusion dependant thalassaemia (NTDT). It also includes preventive measures such as screening programmes and genetic counseling in order to contain the genetic transmission. At the moment, the only cure is through haematopoeitic stem cell transplant (HSCT). This report illustrates thalassaemia disease prevalence in the Terengganu state and the evolution of care since National Thalassaemia Programme was launched in 2009.

Abstract While bleeding canker of European beech trees (Fagus sylvatica) has long been recognized as a problem in Europe and North America, the cause in the northeastern United States has not been clear. To resolve this, we surveyed for disease prevalence on European beech, identified the pathogens involved, proved their pathogenicity, compared protocols for pathogen detection, and conducted a soil assay to determine pathogen presence in soil surrounding established trees in residential and commercial landscapes in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Approximately 40% of surveyed trees had bleeding cankers. While Phytophthora cactorum, P. gonapodyides, P. cambivora and two newly described species, P. citricola I and P. plurivora, were recovered from symptomatic tissue, P. citricola I and P. cactorum were most prevalent. All caused disease when artificially inoculated into European beech sapling stems, although P. cambivora and P. gonapodyides produced significantly smaller lesions. Recovery of the pathogen from symptomatic tissue using selective media, the preferred method of diagnosis, was significantly higher in the fall. ELISA detection was more successful and worked regardless of season, but did not allow identification to the species level. All five Phytophthora species were found in soil surveys; P. cambivora was most common, followed by P. cactorum and P. citricola I. These results provide a foundation for building management strategies to protect valuable specimens of European beech.

This paper presents strategies for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the school-based speech-language pathologist. Various time management strategies are adapted and outlined for three major areas of concern: using time, organizing the work area, and managing paper work. It is suggested that the use of such methods will aid the speech-language pathologist in coping with federal, state, and local regulations while continuing to provide quality therapeutic services.

Background The aim of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of combining self-management strategies and a social thinking approach to address the social performance and executive function of an adolescent female with autism spectrum disorder. Method This research examined the effects of a social knowledge training program, “Think Social,” as well as strategies to improve higher order cognitive abilities. Results and Conclusion Although quantitative improvement was not found, several qualitative gains in behavior were noted for the participants of this study, suggesting a benefit from using structured environmental cues of self-management strategies, as well as improved social understanding through social cognitive training.

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
