This project developed and assessed feasibility of methods to study an individualized acupuncture intervention during acute stroke rehabilitation. DESIGN AND METHODS This three-part project aimed to 1) develop a manual for post-stroke acupuncture therapy; 2) determine feasibility of methods for future study and 3) explore stakeholder perceptions of acupuncture’s impact. First, a treatment manual was developed. Second, a cohort study used the manual to treat 48 inpatients, who had elected acupuncture treatment (n=25) or usual care only (n=23). Acupuncture was given 3-4 times weekly for 2-4 weeks. Outcomes assessed for feasibility included the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Modified Rankin Scale of global disability (mRS) and assessments of sleep, swallowing and bowel function (at baseline and discharge, with mRS also at 6-month follow-up). Confidence intervals were compared across mild, moderate and severe subgroups. The third study assessed stakeholder perceptions of acupuncture impact. Acupuncture patients were briefly interviewed, with surveys given to family, rehabilitation therapists, nurses and physicians. Impacts of acupuncture were identified using thematic analysis, and compared quantitatively across severity groups. RESULTS Improvement in FIM scores was similar in self-selected cohorts choosing acupuncture (Mdn=37.5) and usual care (Mdn=35), 95% CI [-6, 6]. FIM ii motor domain scores trended higher in the moderate subgroup only. Feasibility criteria were met for the outcomes of 6-month mRS, bowel function, and sleep. Findings of Project 3 included a wide range of perceived benefits, with no negative impact. Benefits included improved upper and lower extremity motor function, walking, relaxation, and pain reduction. Staff reported better mood and participation in physical and occupational therapy. Reported benefits differed across severity subgroups, but proportion of stakeholders perceiving benefit was similar. CONCLUSIONS Further research on acupuncture during stroke rehabilitation is feasible, given mutually appropriate intervention, patient population and outcome measures. The widely used FIM appears inappropriate for future study, except possibly for patients in the moderate range of severity. No outcome reached statistical significance in this small non-randomized study. Trends favored the acupuncture group on most secondary outcomes including 6-month mRS, sleep and bowel function. Additional directions for further study include the relationship between cortical damage and acupuncture responsiveness, and possible benefit to the rehabilitation process itself. iii Table of Contents ABSTRACT ...............................................................................................................

This list is intended for student LEISURE reading. We hope the variety piques student interest and provides the opportunity to expand horizons, satisfy curiosity, and/or offer an enjoyable escape. Titles include: “classics” to recently published titles, relatively easy to challenging reading levels, and a variety of genres covering diverse subjects. Also included is a list of recommended websites to locate further suggestions for award-winning books and titles of interest. This list is updated annually by members of the John D. Ong library staff. Titles are recommended by members of the WRA community or by respected review sources including the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association. A few titles have frank passages that mirror some aspects of life explicitly. Therefore, we urge parents to explore the titles your teenagers choose and discuss the book as well as the choice with them. All the books on this list should be available in libraries and/or bookstores. The Ong Library will also arrange for a special “summer checkout” for anyone interested. Just ask at the library front desk. Enjoy your summer and your free time, and try to spend some of it reading! Your feedback about any title on this list is welcome—and we also welcome your recommendations for titles to add in the future.

Our annual report highlights some of our team’s most significant achievements this year. In today’s world of healthcare reform, we can’t talk about any kind of achievement without asking two questions. First, did we improve patient outcomes? Second, did we control costs? These two issues define the essence of value-based care. At Rusk, we are focusing all our efforts on increasing the value of the care we provide. Our goal is to achieve better outcomes while lowering total costs. What are we doing to increase healthcare value? For one, we have helped pioneer a strategy that is delivering significant savings—early, intensive rehabilitation in critical care.

Fressola By STATEN ISLAND, NY -- Veteran Island cellist Madeline Casparie was the hard- working center this past Sunday of "Summer Strings," a concert staffed by string musicians affiliated with the Staten Island Philharmonic. She had "a lot of work to do," an amusing understatement by double bass Bliss Michelson, who had to trade his instrument at one point for castanets. Conversely, guitarist Edward Brown had the least to do — he was in just one piece — the Quintet in D Major, the Fandango of Luigi Bioccherini. In his contribution of lovely Spanish figures, the guitar becomes the leading dancer of the music. The piece, well played throughout, with cool, supple playing by the cellist, formed the exciting finale of the afternoon concert, presented in the nicely-chilled “hyphen” of the Noble Maritime Collection on the grounds of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden. View full size ADVANCE FILE PHOTO Acoustically, the space is kind to a small Bliss Michelson all-string group (but less kind to larger ensembles as some past presentations have indicated). Page 6 of 101 The program opened with unusual items, the Divertimento Opus 3 of Johnan Kvandal, the underexposed Norwegian composer who deserves more playing time than he seems to get in this country.
