Oral folic acid versus placebo in the treatment of males with the fragile X syndrome.

A double-blind, crossover study of a 10 mg folic acid per day (vs. placebo) treatment was carried out in 25 fra(X) males (ages 1-31 years). Each treatment period lasted 6 months. Before, during and after the study, the patients were assessed blindly with psychological, language and behavioral evaluations, and parent or caretaker reports were collected. Standardized testing did not show statistically significant changes in the group as a whole; psychological testing demonstrated a statistically significant improvement on folic acid in the prepubertal males. After uncoding, caretaker or parent reports also demonstrated behavioral improvements in the prepubertal males while being treated with folic acid.

Gray scale ultrasound studies in neonatal infants with malformation of the brain.

Ultrasound findings in four newborn infants with neurological abnormalities and abnormal facies are described. The ultrasound images are compared with the images achieved by computerized tomography and with the findings at postmortem in 3 of the patients. Accurate neuroanatomical diagnosis confirmed by CT and/or autopsy findings is demonstrated in all 4 cases. It is concluded that ultrasound, particularly using an automated water path scanner, is a viable alternative in the investigation of brain malformation in the neonate.

A case study of the apprenticeship process: another perspective on the apprentice and the scaffolding metaphor.

This study focused on the apprenticeship opportunities in a collaborative writing context. The examination of written artifacts and discursive interactions revealed that collaborative contexts offered unique participatory spaces that allowed students to use their knowledge in ways that exceeded their independent competence. Of note, too, is that the study revealed students' active and constructive role, refuting the perception that most students with disabilities are passive learners in the teaching-learning process. Implications of the study further suggest the importance of peer collaborations in creating successful literacy apprenticeships, as well as in providing teachers with greater insight into the developmental progress and literacy potentials of their students in the context of situated literacy activity.

Project management for nurses: guidelines for success.

Nurses often are called on to plan, participate in, and manage special projects. These projects and special assignments can be managed most effectively when business principles of project management are applied. This method includes defining the project, developing a work breakdown structure, assigning resources, calculating budget implications, presenting and negotiating the plan, implementation, and evaluation. When appropriately used, project management skills can have a major impact on the success or failure of a plan.
