The document discusses stakeholders and their importance for project success. It defines stakeholders as people or groups with a direct or indirect interest in a project or its outcome. Early identification of stakeholders and meeting their needs are necessary for a project to succeed. Building good relationships with stakeholders is important but not sufficient, as stakeholders control funding and certification of a project's completion. The document provides a stakeholder analysis tool called the "stakeholder wheel" to assess stakeholders' power, support, influence, and needs.Data Center Efficiency and Security - Access, Control and Remote Management M...

- Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins made of two light chains and two heavy chains connected by disulfide bonds. The amino terminal regions of the chains are variable and determine what antigen the antibody binds to.
- Antibodies exist as different classes (isotypes) including IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD that have different biological functions like activating complement or binding to receptors on immune cells.
- Monoclonal antibodies produced by fusing myeloma cells with antibody-producing plasma cells allow production of antibodies that target a single epitope, which has many research and clinical applications like diagnostic tests, imaging, and immunotherapy.Animal Assisted Therapy Program Poster for MLA 2015 (4) April 24

This document describes a study being conducted at Phoenix Children's Hospital to evaluate the impact of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) on physiological and stress-related biomarkers in pediatric patients. A single-arm study design will measure variables like cortisol, heart rate, blood pressure and energy levels in children before and after a 5-10 minute AAT interaction. The goal is to determine if AAT can decrease stress and improve energy as suggested by previous anecdotal evidence and studies showing benefits such as improved mood, blood pressure, and activity levels. The hospital's AAT program began in 2004 and a clinical study question was identified in 2007 with librarian assistance to help identify valid, quantitative studies to replicate through literature searches over 10 years.Copyright 息 2020 wolters kluwer health, inc. all rights reserv

This study evaluated staff perceptions of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) in a hospital cardiovascular unit and outpatient clinic before and after exposure to AAT visits over 5 weeks. Surveys found that after the AAT experience, staff had significantly more positive views of how AAT could benefit the work environment by reducing stress and creating a happier, more relaxed atmosphere. Staff also had significantly fewer concerns about potential negative impacts of dogs in the healthcare setting. The results provide support for AAT as a strategy to address staff stress and burnout.Copyright 息 2020 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserv

Animal assisted therapy (AAT) involves using animals, often dogs, as part of therapy sessions to help patients. It can help improve mental health, social skills, mobility and more. AAT is defined as a goal-oriented intervention delivered by trained professionals, while animal assisted activities are less structured visits involving animals. Studies show AAT can reduce stress and anxiety and improve mood. However, the animals' stress levels must also be monitored to ensure they remain comfortable. AAT has been shown to benefit many groups including children, older adults and those with disabilities.Pet therapy

Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) has been used since the late 1700s to provide therapeutic benefits such as improved mood, reduced stress, and lower blood pressure. AAT began being utilized in goal-based therapies by Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists in 1990. Today, AAT is used in many settings with various populations and patient goals. Therapy animals are matched to specific treatment strategies and goals for each individual. A successful AAT program depends on full integration of the therapeutic mission and animals being viewed as part of the treatment team rather than a distraction.Pet Therapy with the Elderly

Animal assisted therapy uses pets and other animals to help improve patients' physical, emotional, and social functioning. It has been used in occupational therapy since the 1700s. Research shows it can lower blood pressure and stress levels while improving movement, breathing, and pain levels. Equine therapy specifically helps with balance and posture. Emotionally, animal therapy reduces stress and loneliness and improves confidence. Socially, animals encourage conversation and communication between patients and therapists. The unconditional love of therapy animals positively impacts patients and can be a valuable resource for occupational therapy.Research Prospectus WP FINAL COPY

WCH presentation slides
- 2. Welcome to Our Presentation on the Use of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT)
- 3. Please WCH Dragons, Be kind to us!
- 4. A Good Reason for WCH to Use Animal Assisted Therapy
- 5. Yet, Another Reason AAT is a Good Choice as a Therapeutic Regimen
- 8. How do you quantify a feeling?
- 9. Sample Research Objectives for Psychotherapy Applications Participants will be able to define how the use of AAT interactions help clients and their extended families develop improved social interactions as extensions of natural socialization processes used by human beings. Participants will identify improvements to mood and behavior using AAT in an individual or group therapy setting. Researchers can use mesurements of seratonin and dopamine in the human brain as well as hormonal releases of oxytocin in participants as a biological research milestone.
- 10. Why AAT Doesn't Work!
- 11. How Animals Assist People to Maintain Good Health
- 12. Sample Research Objectives for Medical Applications 1 Researchers with the help of participants will be able to develop research information on the use of animals as mental and physical health monitors in people. Examples of this is the ability of some companion animals to smell for and sense the approach of death in humans, and other chronic health conditions like cardiac conditions, diabetes and epilepsy. This ability can be used to aid both clinicians and patients in pre and post operative management of these life threatening conditions.
- 13. Sample Research Objectives for Medical Applications 2 Participants will be able to help researchers identify how AAT helps them develop natural levels of immunity through the reduction of stress related hormones like cortisol and nor-epinephrine Participants will be able to help researchers with initiatives that show the effects of woman centered AAT programs in hospitals and institutions as a therapetutic management tool to assist in pain regulation, mood adjustments and minimizing stress and other factors associated with hospitalization in either short or long term care situations.
- 14. When AAT is used in Clinics and Institutions, you need to post signs like this to keep animals safe.
- 16. In Conclusion Dragons, Just Remember to;
- 17. Thank You!
