Objective:
Persistent brain fog is common in adults with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), in whom it causes distress and in many cases interferes with performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and return-to-work. There are no interventions with rigorous evidence of efficacy for this new, often disabling condition. The purpose of this pilot is to evaluate the efficacy, on a preliminary basis, of a new intervention for this condition termed Constraint-Induced Cognitive therapy (CICT). CICT combines features of two established therapeutic approaches: cognitive speed of processing training (SOPT) developed by the laboratory of K. Ball and the Transfer Package and task-oriented training components of Constraint-Induced Movement therapy developed by the laboratory of E. Taub and G. Uswatte.
Participants and Methods:Participants were > 3 months after recovery from acute COVID symptoms and had substantial brain fog and impairment in IADL. Participants were randomized to CICT immediately or after a 3-month delay. CICT involved 36 hours of outpatient therapy distributed over 4-6 weeks. Sessions had three components: (a) videogamelike training designed to improve how quickly participants process sensory input (SOPT), (b) training on IADLs following shaping principles, and (c) a set of behavioral techniques designed to transfer gains from the treatment setting to daily life, i.e., the Transfer Package. The Transfer Package included (a) negotiating a behavioral contract with participants and one or more family members about the responsibilities of the participants, family members, and treatment team; (b) assigning homework during and after the treatment period; (c) monitoring participants’ out-of-session behavior; (d) supporting problem-solving by participants and family members about barriers to performance of IADL; and (e) making follow-up phone calls. IADL performance, brain fog severity, and cognitive impairment were assessed using validated, trans-diagnostic measures before and after treatment and three months afterwards in the immediate-CICT group and on parallel occasions in the delayed-CICT group (aka waitlist controls).
Results:To date, five were enrolled in the immediate-CICT group; four were enrolled in the wait-list group. All had mild cognitive impairment, except for one with moderate impairment in the immediate-CICT group. Immediate-CICT participants, on average, had large reductions in brain fog severity on the Mental Clutter Scale (MCS, range = 0 to 10 points, mean change = -3.7, SD = 2.0); wait-list participants had small increases (mean change = 1.0, SD = 1.4). Notably, all five in the immediate-CICT group had clinically meaningful improvements (i.e., changes > 2 points) in performance of IADL outside the treatment setting as measured by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) Performance scale; only one did in the wait-list group. The advantage for the immediate-CICT group was very large on both the MCS and COPM (d’s = 1.7, p’s < .05). In follow-up, immediate-CICT group gains were retained or built-upon.
Conclusions:These preliminary findings warrant confirmation by a large-scale randomized controlled trial. To date, CICT shows high promise as an efficacious therapy for brain fog due to PASC. CICT participants had large, meaningful improvements in IADL performance outside the treatment setting, in addition to large reductions in brain fog severity.

Objective:
CI Cognitive Therapy (CICT) is a combination of behavioral techniques derived from CI Movement Therapy (CIMT) modified to apply to the cognitive domain, and Speed of (Cognitive) Processing Training (SOPT). SOPT is effective in improving cognitive function in the treatment setting and driving ability in everyday situations. The data concerning the effect of SOPT on other cognition-based instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) in everyday situations is incomplete. The strengths of CIMT, based on its Transfer Package (TP), are to facilitate 1) transfer of improved function from the treatment setting to IADL in everyday settings, and 2) long-term retention of the improved performance of IADL. This study sought to determine in a preliminary case series whether the TP of CI Movement Therapy combined with SOPT would have the same effect on a wide range of impaired cognition-based ADL.
Participants and Methods:Participants were 6 adults with chronic stroke: mean chronicity = 36.2 months, (range, 16-56 months); mean age = 59.7 years, (range, 47-55); 1 female; 3 African American and 3 European American. Five had mild cognitive impairment, while one had moderate impairment. Participants received 35 hours of outpatient treatment in 10-15 sessions distributed over 2-6 weeks, depending on the participants’ availability. Sessions began with 1 hour of SOPT training followed by training of cognition-based ADL by the process of shaping, a common method in the behavior analysis field. Other behavior analysis methods employed in the TP of CI Movement Therapy were used, including: 1) behavior contracting, daily assignment of homework, participation of a family member in the training and monitoring process, daily administration of a structured interview assessing amount and quality of performance of 30 IADL, problem solving to overcome perceived (or real) barriers to performance of IADL. Participants were given daily homework assignments in follow-up and were contacted in periodic, pre-arranged phone calls to determine status, compliance and problem-solve.
Results:All six participants showed marked improvement on the SOPT test similar to that in the Ball et al studies. However, here transfer to IADL outside the treatment setting was substantial. On the main real-world outcome, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), there were increases of 2.7±1.3 and 2.1±1.6 on the two scales (d’s = 1.9 & 1.3, respectively). (Changes on the COPM > 2 points are considered clinically meaningful and changes in d’ >.8 are considered large). On two other real-word measures, the Cognitive Task Activity Log (CTAL) and inventory of Improved and New Cognitive Activities (INCA), there was a marked increase during the acquisition phase of training. There was no loss in retention over the 6-16 months (mean = 12.2) of follow-up to date. Instead, the INCA showed strong further improvement after the end of treatment-setting training, especially in the New Activities Not Performed Since Before Stroke Onset category, going from a mean of 8.2 after training to 14.6 at the end of follow-up.
Conclusions:These very preliminary results suggest that CICT may be an efficacious therapy for mild to moderate cognitive impairment in chronic stroke and possibly other disorders.

Aims
Primary aim – To improve how physical health issues are addressed for inpatients with eating disorders
Secondary aim – To improve efficiency within the MDT
BackgroundThe Yorkshire Centre for Eating Disorders (YCED) is an inpatient unit for the treatment of patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality of all psychiatric disorders with an extensive list of physical manifestations. This project was designed to help better address the physical health concerns of our patients by introducing a primary care style, once weekly clinic that patients could self-refer to.
MethodQuestionnaires were designed to assess whether a once weekly physical health clinic would benefit the service.
The clinic was run on a weekly basis from 26th April to 24th June 2019. Follow-up questionnaires were designed and distributed to both patients and staff following this period. Data were analysed with Microsoft Excel to determine if improvement had been made.
ResultN = 12 inpatients responded to the initial questionnaires, n = 2 were discharged during the 8 week period so were included in the analysis but did not complete the follow-up questionnaire.
100% of the staff (n = 8) felt a once weekly clinic would benefit their patients. 62% (n = 5) stated they felt distracted from their other duties with physical health requests.
33% (n = 4) of the inpatient group felt the clinic would benefit them with 67% (n = 8) stating indifference to the idea.
26 appointments were conducted in the physical health clinic with 80% (n = 8) of the service users accessing at least once. 70% (n = 7) stated their physical health concerns had been better addressed since the clinic had been started.
90% (n = 9) of inpatients and 90% (n = 9) of staff responded that the physical health clinic should remain permanent. 90% (n = 9) of staff stated they had more time for their other duties since the introduction of the clinic.
Prior to the clinic 63% (n = 5) of staff responded that in a typical day they were approached between 2-5 times for physical health requests with the other 37% (n = 3) being approached once.
Following the clinic 80% (n = 8) of staff responded that they were approached once in a typical working day.
ConclusionThe qualitative data from the questionnaires indicated success in both improving patient care and reducing nursing workload.
The physical health clinic has been made a permanent feature on the ward and has been continued by the incoming foundation doctor and ward ANP.

The first demonstration of laser action in ruby was made in 1960 by T. H. Maiman of Hughes Research Laboratories, USA. Many laboratories worldwide began the search for lasers using different materials, operating at different wavelengths. In the UK, academia, industry and the central laboratories took up the challenge from the earliest days to develop these systems for a broad range of applications. This historical review looks at the contribution the UK has made to the advancement of the technology, the development of systems and components and their exploitation over the last 60 years.

Agricultural lenders have a stake in and are in a position to influence their borrowers' management decisions. Risk management practice adoption is an area in which lenders might want to exercise this influence. This study employs logistic statistical models to estimate lenders' influence on crop producers' decisions regarding use of three alternative risk management practices: federal multiple-peril crop insurance, crop hail and fire insurance, and forward contracting. Results suggest lenders can exert significant influence on these decisions but that poor communication between lenders and borrowers likely reduces this influence.

In calling the attention of the Society to the interesting deed exhibited this evening by our Fellow, Mr. Peacock, it would be superfluous to do more than allude in a most cursory manner to the early history and general organization of the famous order of the Knights Hospitallers to which it relates. I need but refer to the General Chapter held at Montpellier in 1329—the date of the deed before us is 1397—when Elyan de Villanova was Grand Master, and at which the Order was for the first time divided into the seven ‘Languages,’ as they were called, of France, Provence, Auvergne, Italy, Germany, England, and Aragon; a number which was afterwards raised to eight by the addition of Castille and Portugal as a single ‘Language.’ The ‘Language’ of France, I may add, was divided into three Grand Priories: the Priory of France, which contained forty-five Commanderies–the name given to the estate of the Order placed under the control of one of the brothers, called a Commander—the Priory of Aquitaine, which contained sixty-five, and the Priory of Champagne, which contained twenty-four. On the system on which, in the fourteenth century, the property of the fraternity was managed, and its income derived and expended in England, the fullest light has been thrown by the very valuable report of the English Prior Philip de Thame to the Grand Master already mentioned, Elyan de Villanova, for the year 1338, edited for the Camden Society, in 1857, by the Rev. Lambert B. Larking, with an Historical Introduction by Mr. John Mitchell Kemble. No such information however, so far as I am aware, exists in print relating to the fraternity in France, and this circumstance gives to the deed before us an importance which at a first glance it might not be held to possess. For, although in its general features the system which regulated the Priories in different countries at the same periods was probably in substance the same, still we should be justified in inferring a priori that differences of detail must necessarily have arisen from the varieties of custom, of character, and of social condition, which marked the people with whom they were brought into contact. And in point of fact any one who is familiar with the publication of the Camden Society will find as he reads this deed that this à priori conjecture is borne out by the result, the general drift of which is to show the greater servitude to which the peasantry and lower orders generally were subjected in France, as contrasted with the comparative freedom enjoyed in this country.
