Acupuncture, a Chinese medical therapy which uses fine needles to alleviate symptoms, is being used as a complement to drug therapy in some patients. It provides relief for some problems that are caused by disease pathogens or are side effects of drug treatments. Symptoms relieved by acupuncture include night sweats, diarrhea, vomiting, digestive difficulty, insomnia, anxiety, muscle pain, and other symptoms. A related treatment called moxibustion is sometimes used, which applies heat through the acupuncture needles. Herbal formulas are also used to complement acupuncture.

The FDA has approved amprenavir (Agenerase), the fifth protease inhibitor (PI) to be approved and the first PI approved in 2 years. When used in triple combination therapy, amprenavir is effective in viral suppression in treatment-naive patients and some patients who have taken NRTIs and NNRTIs. The drug has also been shown to be effective in about half of the patients who are resistant to other PIs. The standard dose for amprenavir is eight large capsules taken twice a day. Levels of amprenavir may be affected by the concurrent use with efavirenz (Sustiva). Common side effects of amprenavir include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and numbness and tingling around the mouth.

The present study evaluated the 23-item Screening Tool for Feeding Problems (STEP; Matson & Kuhn, 2001) with a sample of children referred to a hospital-based feeding clinic to examine the scale's psychometric characteristics and then demonstrate how a children's revision of the STEP, the STEP-CHILD is associated with child and parent variables. Participants included 142 children (95 boys, 47 girls; mean age = 61.4 months; 43 with autism, 51 with other special needs, 48 with no special needs). Children ranged in age from 24 months to 18 years. Factor analysis revealed a 15-item STEP-CHILD with six subscales of child feeding problems: chewing problems, rapid eating, food refusal, food selectivity, vomiting, and stealing food. Mediation analysis documented that "overly permissive" actions by parents (such as infrequent insistence on eating during meals, or frequent preparation of Special Meals for children different than the family meal) explained over 34% of the links between children's feeding problems and poor weight and diet outcomes.
