An Investigation to Determine the Relationships between College Students’ Attitudes toward Reading and Their Reading Habits

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the reading attitudes and the reading habits of two distinct groups of freshman college students. One hundred students enrolled in classes in the Learning Skills Center and one hundred students enrolled in classes in the General Education Program were involved in this study. A second purpose was to determine if a significant difference, in relation to reading attitudes and reading habits, existed between the two groups. Statistical analysis strongly revealed that a significant correlation exists between the reading attitudes and the reading habits of the two groups of freshman college students. The results also demonstrated that no significant difference exists between the two groups of freshmen. It appears that a relationship exists between how students think about reading and their actual habits but the exact nature of that relationship is unknown

Validity of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire to identify young children with gross motor difficulties who require physiotherapy assessment

Aim: To determine if the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition Gross Motor domain (ASQ-3-GM) score is predictive of motor performance on the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and/or Neurological, Sensory, Motor, Developmental Assessment (NSMDA). Method: This was a cross-sectional study involving analysis of a 1-year consecutive clinical sample of data obtained from children attending a specialist public outpatient service. Participants were 84 children aged 0 to 5 years (mean age 24.9mo, SD 18.4mo; 50 males, 34 females) referred for physiotherapy assessment of gross motor skills in a tertiary child development service. Parents completed the ASQ-3 questionnaire and children were assessed using the AIMS (if aged 0–18mo) and/or NSMDA (all children). To determine possible relationships between ASQ-3-GM scores with AIMS and NSMDA scores, we calculated Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients. To determine validity of the ASQ-3-GM ‘refer for further assessment’ (‘refer’) cut-off score to identify gross motor difficulties we calculated frequency distributions and crosstab analyses. Results: ASQ-3-GM scores correlated with AIMS centile rank (r=0.697,

Fatal aortic endocarditis associated with community-acquired Serratia marcescens infection in a dog

A 12 yr old Dalmatian was referred for evaluation of acute lethargy, fever, neurologic signs, and a recently ausculted heart murmur. Echocardiography in combination with blood cultures resulted in a diagnosis of nonhospital-acquired Serratia marcescens bacteremia and aortic valve endocarditis. Despite early diagnosis and aggressive therapy, the dog failed to respond to antimicrobials and died within 6 hr after admission. Necropsy findings included aortic valve endocarditis, septicemia, and diffuse thromboembolic disease. There was no history of pre-existing underlying disease or immunosuppressive therapy, and the dog had not been hospitalized before referral

Unilateral epididymitis associated with salmonella bacteremia in a dog

This report describes the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of a dog with unilateral epididymitis associated with Salmonella spp. bacteremia. Fever and an enlarged and painful testicle were the main clinical signs that resulted in referral for diagnostic evaluation. Unilateral septic epididymitis was diagnosed via ultrasonography of the genitourinary tract and aerobic culture of scrotal fluid, urine and blood, which yielded heavy growth of Salmonella spp. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) confirmed the presence of Salmonella javiana. Following antibiotic therapy there was total resolution of clinical signs, and no Salmonella was isolated from a post-treatment urine culture. The source of infection was unknown, however an environmental exposure was suspected. Although infrequent, infection with Salmonella spp. should be included in the differential diagnosis of canine epididymitis. Given the major zoonotic importance of salmonellosis, and to prevent re-infection after treatment, the source of the infection should be investigated and eliminated, if possible
