I am ok with specifying that the interim payments will be applied to accrued unpaid interest at contractual rate with any leftover applied to the principal. I don’t want to hold it in escrow. Earlier today when Jenny called, I told Jenny (CFO) there was no term sheet until after the Standstill Agreement is signed, and interim payments received. She also told me that they have already discussed with their trust attorney to start considering ways to unwind the trusts.…

“Any field claiming professional stature must be just as dedicated to cultivation its mind as it is to nourishing its heart,” states Wendy Wood. She also believes that the Occupational Therapy Association should continue to evolve as the knowledge of the field in advancing (252). Wood then expresses that in her experience that when she placed an emphasis on the heart of professionalism that the clients were less likely to succeed (253). She thinks Occupational Therapists put too much value on the heart, while neglecting the mind aspect.…

In modern times, stewards in occupational therapy ensure that the past, present and future ideas and principles of occupational therapy are preserved and used for future knowledge. There are three parts of stewardship: generation, conservation and transformation. All three parts of stewardship relate to the achieving of an occupational therapy doctorate (OTD). Generation, very simply put, is about developing new information. This generation of information can be through an…
The establish and restore strategy focuses on the improvement of the clients skills and their abilities (Dunn, Brown, & McGuigan, 1994). The therapist can use this to improve/strengthen Sam’s weaker skills, his fine motor skills, and also focus on his strong skills, his gross motor skills, to help improve his overall well-being. To alter the situation the occupational therapist must find a new context in which the person can perform their tasks (Dunn, Brown, & McGuigan, 1994). In this aspect the occupational therapist is looking for a context in which there is a perfect balance between the client’s skills and the obstacles of the context (Dunn, Brown, & McGuigan, 1994). In Sam’s case the occupational therapist could relocate his work place where less fine motor skill are needed.…
I observed under Tammy Wallace, an Occupational Therapy Assistant, and she was great in telling me about what the life of an OTA, consists of doing. When I shadowed there, we had one patient that had a lawn mower accident where it fell on top of him. The activity that she had him do that day were to see if he was prepared to go back home, on that following Saturday. He used the designated kitchen to make a grilled cheese sandwich.…

The vitality of knowing your role as a health care provider and the scope of practice becomes utterly essential on a daily basis. Taking a step back to look at how each health care provider plays a huge role in their patients’ lives is simply inspirational. In particular, this paper will explore the roles of a physical therapy assistant (PTA) and an occupational therapy assistant (OTA) through their delivery of patient care, defined scope of practice, and importance of patient-centered care. Role of PTA/OTA in Delivery of Patient Care…
As occupational therapy practitioners, we ask our clients, “What matters to you?” not, “What’s the matter with you”. Occupational therapists are taught and reminded of important words that our career is built on. Occupational therapists help individuals across their lifespan participate in meaningful activities of daily life; we do this through best practice, education and being client-centered. Like the word “sensible” occupational therapy triggers curiosity among healthcare professionals.…
Prior to beginning the masters of occupational therapy program it was as if I was an ancient wanderer in the dark ages, eager to learn new ideas and discover new places not sure what the world would throw at me next. Over the next eight years I found myself at a series of personal crossroads one encounters during life’s journey. Not the crossroad where one sells their soul to the devil for some magical power. It was more of one of those forks in the road, a kin to the Robert Frost Poem, where one path leads to life A and the other leads to life B. Crossroads that impacted my future, shaped who I am and my character, influenced life changes, which led to a transition that will influence me and my family for generations to come. I come from…
The multifunctional protein, beta-catenin (CTNNB1) acts on many critical roles in the cell life cycle, including cell differentiation, proliferation and cell-cell contact (Ozwan et al., 1989), CTNNB1 plays a central role in canonical WNT signaling pathway to success the gene transcription process (Clevers and Nusse., 2012). Regulation and degradation of CTNNB1 take place at the cellular level through phosphorylation of serine and/or threonine amino acid residues. Specific kinase proteins responsible for activation or degradation of CTNNB1, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) phosphorylate Ser33, Ser37 and Thr41 residues in order degrade CTNNB1. Similarly, casein kinase-1 (CK1) at Ser45 residue (Fang et al., 2007). Activation CTNNB1 happen…
