Abstract
Mindfulness interventions have shown promise in improving self-regulation, depression, anxiety, and stress levels across all ages. Obesity rates in children are rising worldwide. It has been postulated that through improvements in self-regulation with mindfulness interventions, obesity rates can be improved in children and adolescents. In this review, we attempt to explain how mindfulness interventions may impact obesity rates and obesity-related complications and give the current state of evidence for the following mindfulness interventions: Mindful Eating, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Yoga, Spirituality, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tourette syndrome is a neuropsychiatric condition defined by motor and phonic tics with onset in childhood. Many families have concerns regarding potential side effects of pharmacologic treatments, and often have difficulty accessing comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics. Patients and caregivers may turn to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as they perceive these as "natural" and therefore "safe." Although there are anecdotal reports of an increased use of CAM in Tourette syndrome patients, the exact prevalence is unknown. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify commonly used CAM therapies for children with Tourette syndrome at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. METHODS A questionnaire was administered to the caregivers of children (<18 years old) via telephone. The data pertaining to demographics, type of CAM use, duration of use, adverse effects, and caregiver's perception of the effectiveness were collected. RESULTS A total of 110 patients participated in this survey. When inquired about the different CAM methods, 69.1% of the participants reported using 1 or more CAM therapies, and 58% of those who used CAM informed the doctor about their use. Ninety-three percent of those who used CAM therapy reported a decrease in tic frequency. The most commonly used CAM therapies were stress management (44.6%), herbal medicine (18.2%), homeopathy (12.7%), and meditation (9.1%). In total, 46% of the participants said that CAM helped more than medication. CONCLUSION The majority of patients interviewed were using CAM therapies, and a significant portion reported benefit greater than medication. More than half of all participants discussed CAM therapies with their physicians, and 63% of participants felt that their physicians would support their use of CAM therapies.

Abstract
Allergic diseases (AD) have been one of the most urgent problems on nowadays worldwide. In some countries with a high AD prevalence according to ISAAC Phase One, compared to ISAAC Phase Three, especially in English-speaking countries, there is a tendency to reduction of respiratory symptoms prevalence, while in other countries, on the contrary, it continues to grow. The aim of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the prevalence of asthma, rhinitis and eczema in the Kyiv region of Ukraine in the dynamics for the period 2017-2018 and 1998-1999, to understand current epidemiological trends. 3186 children of different age groups, living in different regions of the Kyiv region, have been surveyed. For comparative analysis, data from asthma, rhinitis and eczema and two age groups of 6-7 years (n=1647) and 13-14 years old (n=1539) were used as required by the design of ISAAC. The epidemiological study of the prevalence of AD symptoms among children in the Kyiv region in dynamics of the 19-year period showed that there was a slight decrease in the prevalence of asthma in both age groups, although their level remains rather high. But the rate of severe asthma, especially among adolescents, has risen. Thus, the prevalence of asthma symptoms among children aged 6-7 years decreased from 16.8% to 15.4% (-0.07% per year), and among adolescents from 15.2% to 11.2% (-0, 2% per year). The prevalence of rhinitis and eczema symptoms among children in the Kyiv region continues to grow in both age groups over the years, which is consistent with the global world trends. The steady growth of allergic diseases prevalence requires further investigation of causative factors and possible ways of their solution for both Ukraine as a whole and for the Kyiv region in particular. Worrying problems of insufficient asthma control also flow out from the performed analysis, especially in regards the adolescent age category, which determines the future research directions.

Abstract
AIM Complication of Crohn's disease (CD) of the small intestine is small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA). A lot of studies on Crohn's disease have estimated the increased relative risk of small bowel carcinoma compared to the general population. In clinical settings, it is difficult to detect SBA in CD, therefore most of cases are diagnosed after surgery for strictures without suspicion of malignancy. CASE REPORT The present case concerns a 48-year-old man with a suspicious 5-year history of untreated chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The patient was admitted to our unit with persistent abdominal pain, 20 kg weight loss and intestinal obstruction, confirmed at CT scans. It was performed an emergency laparotomy, terminal ileus was resected and intestinal continuity was restored. Histological examination revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. DISCUSSION The risk factors of SBA include long-standing and extensive Crohn's disease, young age, male sex, smoke, early onset, complications such as strictures and fistulas The most common clinical presentation of small bowel carcinoma in Crohn's disease is intestinal obstruction accompanied by wheight loss. The diagnosis is very difficult because imaging techniques may not be able to differentiate areas of small bowel carcinomas from benign fibrotic or acute inflammatory strictures. CONCLUSION Small bowel adenocarcinoma is a rare disease but this evenience must be considered in patients with strictures for Crohn's disease. Preoperative diagnosis is still highly challenging despite significant radiological and endoscopic progress.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric condition defined by both motor and phonic tics over a period of at least 1 year with the onset before 18 years of age. The purpose of this article is to review the use of complementary alternative medicine (CAM) in children and adults with Tourette syndrome with emphasis on recent research. RECENT FINDINGS Most patients do not tell their physician about the use of CAM unless if specifically asked. Of the studies reviewed, description of the treatment and the frequency of use were most often reported. Few studies examine the role or effectiveness of CAM in the treatment of TS specifically. SUMMARY Practitioners should be aware of current research regarding various CAM modalities used for TS patients, including efficacy, potential adverse effects, and interactions with medications. Robust data about the use of CAM, efficacy, and potential side effects is lacking and requires further research to clarify optimal use.

Abstract
Nanocrystalline tungsten trioxide (WO3) thin films prepared by DC magnetron sputtering have been studied using soft x-ray spectroscopy and optical spectrophotometry. Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements reveal band gap states in sub-stoichiometric γ-WO3-x with x = 0.001-0.005. The energy positions of these states are in good agreement with recently reported density functional calculations. The results were compared with optical absorption measurements in the near infrared spectral region. An optical absorption peak at 0.74 eV is assigned to intervalence transfer of polarons between W sites. A less prominent peak at energies between 0.96 and 1.16 eV is assigned to electron excitation of oxygen vacancies. The latter results are supported by RIXS measurements, where an energy loss in this energy range was observed, and this suggests that electron transfer processes involving transitions from oxygen vacancy states can be observed in RIXS. Our results have implications for the interpretation of optical properties of WO3, and the optical transitions close to the band gap, which are important in photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical applications.

Abstract
Development of effective and safe treatments for companion animals with cancer requires the collaboration of numerous animal health professionals and the full engagement of animal owners. Establishing ‘Best Practice Recommendations’ for clinical trials in veterinary oncology represents an important step toward meeting the goal of rigorous clinical trial design and conduct that is required to establish valid evidence. Likewise, optimizing patient welfare and owner education and advocacy is crucial to meet the unique ethical obligations to both owners and animals enrolled in these clinical trials and to ensure trust in the team conducting the research. To date, ‘Best Practice Recommendations’ for clinical trial conduct have not been reported for veterinary oncology. This document summarizes the consensus of a workshop held in November, 2014 to identify relevant ethical principles and to ensure responsible conduct of clinical research in companion animals with cancer. It is intended as a working document that will be updated as advances in science and ethical considerations require. To the extent possible, existing guidelines for the conduct and oversight of clinical trials in humans have been adapted for veterinary trials to avoid duplicative effort and to facilitate integration of clinical trials such that translational research with benefits for both companion animals and humans are encouraged.

Abstract
A retrospective evaluation of 232 feline nasal biopsies initially diagnosed as either carcinoma or lymphoma was performed by two pathologists. One or both pathologists disagreed with the original diagnosis in 15 cases (7%), 14 of which had original diagnoses of carcinoma. Out of the 232 cases, 140, including the disputed ones, were subjected to immunohistochemical staining with epithelial and lymphoid markers. Immunohistochemical staining of the 15 disputed cases showed that the original diagnoses were incorrect in 67% (10/15), unverified in 13% (2/15) and correct in 20% (3/15). Among the consensual diagnoses, immunohistochemistry revealed that 3% (4/125) of diagnoses were unverified because they did not stain for any of the markers evaluated. This report demonstrates the importance of immunohistochemistry in establishing a correct histologic diagnosis for nasal neoplasms in cats.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of integrative health (IH) coaching on psychosocial factors, behavior change, and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Fifty-six patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to either 6 months of IH coaching or usual care (control group). Coaching was conducted by telephone for fourteen 30-minute sessions. Patients were guided in creating an individualized vision of health, and goals were self-chosen to align with personal values. The coaching agenda, discussion topics, and goals were those of the patient, not the provider. Preintervention and postintervention assessments measured medication adherence, exercise frequency, patient engagement, psychosocial variables, and A1C. RESULTS Perceived barriers to medication adherence decreased, while patient activation, perceived social support, and benefit finding all increased in the IH coaching group compared with those in the control group. Improvements in the coaching group alone were also observed for self-reported adherence, exercise frequency, stress, and perceived health status. Coaching participants with elevated baseline A1C (>/=7%) significantly reduced their A1C. CONCLUSIONS A coaching intervention focused on patients' values and sense of purpose may provide added benefit to traditional diabetes education programs. Fundamentals of IH coaching may be applied by diabetes educators to improve patient self-efficacy, accountability, and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Increasingly, music therapy is being used, in combination with conventional treatment modalities, as part of the health care treatment plan. The objective of our study was to determine the awareness, knowledge and use of music therapy by members of the Michigan chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Michigan AAP) in their health care practice. METHODS Members of the Michigan AAP were asked to participate in a survey designed to assess their knowledge and use of music therapy in their health care practice. RESULTS Although the majority of respondents were aware of the use of music therapy in health care settings, very few had referred their own patients for music therapy services. CONCLUSION Music therapy is an inexpensive and noninvasive treatment modality being used increasingly, especially to alleviate pain, stress, and anxiety among patients in a variety of conditions. Pediatric practitioners in Michigan, who responded to our survey, expressed a strong interest in learning more about music therapy and learning about ways to incorporate music therapy into their health care practice.

Abstract
Standard treatments for canine hemangiosarcoma include surgery and chemotherapy with doxorubicin, but in spite of treatment most dogs with this disease die within 6 months of diagnosis. Tumor growth and metastasis are angiogenesis dependent. Antiangiogenic drugs such as minocycline may provide therapeutic benefits in cancer patients. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy with doxorubicin and minocycline, an antiangiogenic agent, in dogs with hemangiosarcoma. Eighteen dogs with histologically confirmed hemangiosarcoma of any stage were treated with doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and minocycline. Complete staging was performed before and during the treatment period to assess remission status and response to therapy. No statistically significant difference was found in survival between the dogs treated with chemotherapy and minocycline, and historical controls consisting of dogs that received chemotherapy alone. Postmortem examination revealed widespread metastasis, suggesting that minocycline is ineffective as a single antiangiogenic agent in canine hemangiosarcoma.

Abstract
The relationship of biting force to the duration of the masseteric silent period was studied. After introduction of a bite transducer in ten individuals, the jaw jerk reflex was elicited at specific decreases in biting force. No significant alteration in the duration of the silent period was observed.
