Learning of their child's diagnosis was highly distressing for parents and was marked with emotional chaos. Parents' process of realization regarding the diagnosis was related to the diagnostic process. Information and communication needs should be individualized accordingly. The findings have implications for service provision, particularly with regard to how supportive care is delivered at this time.The manner in which humans exploit multisensory information for subsequent decisions changes with age. Multiple causes for such age-effects are being discussed, including a reduced precision in peripheral sensory representations, changes in cognitive inference about causal relations between sensory cues, and a decline in memory contributing to altered sequential patterns of multisensory behaviour. To dissociate these putative contributions, we investigated how healthy young and older adults integrate audio-visual spatial information within trials (the ventriloquism effect) and between trials (the ventriloquism aftereffect). With both a model-free and (Bayesian) model-based analyses we found that both biases differed between groups. Our results attribute the age-change in the ventriloquism bias to a decline in spatial hearing rather than a change in cognitive processes. This decline in peripheral function, combined with a more prominent influence from preceding responses rather than preceding stimuli in the elderly, can also explain the observed age-effect in the ventriloquism aftereffect. Our results suggest a transition from a sensory-to a behavior-driven influence of past multisensory experience on perceptual decisions with age, due to reduced sensory precision and change in memory capacity. To investigate the effectiveness of a futsal-specific warm-up to reduce injuries in amateur teams. Quasi-experimental. Two futsal centres followed over one season using a specific report card. 878 teams (Intervention group, n=458; Control group, n=420) of both genders and three age groups (U13, U17, adults). A futsal-specific warm-up consisting of cardiovascular exercises, dynamic stretches, and game-related skills. The incidence rate and severity of all injuries, lower extremity (LE) injuries and contact injuries. A multivariate Poisson regression analysis was used to compare between-group rates. The rate of all injuries was lower in the intervention group (rate ratio (RR)=0.72, 95% CI=0.59 to 1.06), yet not significant. There was a significantly lower rate of contact injuries in the intervention group (RR=0.68, 95% CI=0.51 to 0.98). Subgroup analysis, based on the warm-up adherence of intervention teams (low, intermediate, high), showed a lower rate of all injuries (RR=0.52, 95% CI=0.29 to 0.97), and LE injuries (RR=0.32, 95% CI=0.14 to 0.81) in the high compared to low adherence group. A futsal-specific warm-up can reduce the rate of contact injuries in amateur players. With high adherence the rate of all injuries and LE injuries may also reduce. A futsal-specific warm-up can reduce the rate of contact injuries in amateur players. With high adherence the rate of all injuries and LE injuries may also reduce.Torture and ill-treatment are crimes practiced systematically in many countries around the world. Little is known about the attitudes and experiences of health professionals who evaluate the victims of these crimes. This study was conducted to assess the attitudes and experiences of health professionals who conduct clinical evaluations of alleged torture and ill-treatment and identify common needs and challenges. Two surveys were administered to health professionals who attended a series of Istanbul Protocol (IP) trainings in various countries of Central Asia, Middle East/North Africa and Latin-America. The findings indicate that participants documented a significant number of torture and ill-treatment cases during a three-year period prece
