Exploring vasculogenic mimicry and anti-angiogenic therapy resistance within breast cancer patient-derived tissue xenograft models
… neovascularisation with anti-angiogenic therapy (AAT) holds much promise to halt tumour growth and inhibit metastasis, however AAT trials have not delivered the predicted clinical success in a large amount of the cancer types tested, including breast cancer. It has become increasingly evident that …

Prevalence and risk factors associated with Trypanosomosis in Cattle Herds in Kilwa District of Lindi Region of Tanzania
African Animal trypanosomosis (AAT) or Nagana and Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT) or Sleeping Sickness are complex chronic, debilitating, emaciating and often fatal diseases of animals and humans, respectively. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and risk factors …

The effect of appetite awareness training on mental health and eating habits among participants in obesity treatment
Appetite Awareness Training (AAT) is an intervention intended to increase ability to rely on internal appetite cues to regulate eating behavior rather than responding to environmental, cognitive, or affective cues. It has been shown that AAT reduces binge eating and overeating as well as decreasing …

Engagement during animal-assisted therapy for children with autism spectrum disorders
Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) has acquired a strong gathering of anecdotal evidence, but is presently limited in empirical validation as an effective intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Further, the heterogeneity of symptom patterns inherently present in the ASD …

“When do I get to see the dog?”: The communicative environment during animal assisted speech therapy sessions for adults with acquired cognitive-communicative disorders
… was designed to study Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) as an activity that (while rarely used in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders) is highly reflective of the responsibilities, preferences, and personal lives of patients (i.e. pet ownership and interaction with animals). This study …

Development of a Smartphone Intervention for Cognitive Bias Modification in Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Dependence
… alcohol approach avoidance training (AAT) were developed and tested through three pilot experiments (n = 26, n = 25, n = 13). The newly developed AAT web-app was then validated in two short online studies on heavy drinkers with one-day (n = 62) and one-week follow-ups (n = 107). …
