Long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) reduces the frequency of contact with opioid agonist therapy (OAT) service providers. Limited data exist on OAT prescribing in Australia after introduction subsidised LAIB September 2019. This ecological study describes trends between 2015 and 2023 across a network primary care services Victoria, Australia. We utilised electronic medical records from 17 clinics Victoria that provide to people dependence describe patterns. described annual number...
Study Design A cross-sectional design was used to correlate cervical radiographic findings of spinal degeneration neck pain and disability. Objectives The results were correlated assess the clinical importance degeneration. Summary Background Data Past investigations suggest little association between evidence However, changes in activities daily living chronicity complaint have not been investigated. Methods Over a 5-month period, data collected on 700 consecutive patients referred for...
Objective : We assessed the level of students' test anxiety, and relationship between anxiety academic performance. Methods recruited 166 third-quarter students. The Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI) was administered to all participants. Total scores from written examinations objective structured clinical (OSCEs) were used as response variables. Results Multiple regression analysis shows that there a modest, but statistically significant negative correlation TAI exam scores, not OSCE scores....
Despite wide use, the value of formative exams remains unclear. We evaluated possible benefits assessments in a physical examination course at our chiropractic college.Three hypotheses were examined: (1) Receiving quizzes (FQs) will increase summative exam (SX) scores, (2) writing FQ questions further SE and (3) FQs can predict SX scores. Hypotheses tested across three separate iterations class.The scores for control group (Class 3) significantly less than those Classes 1 2, but quiz taking...
Abstract Background A challenge for practitioners using spinal manipulation is identifying when an intervention required. It has been recognized that joint pain can interfere with the ability to position body parts accurately and recent history of muscle contraction play a part in interference. In this study, we tested whether repositioning errors could be induced normal population by or shortening neck muscles. Methods experimental protocol, volunteers free problems first found comfortable...
The objective of this study was to measure intradiscal pressure (IDP) changes in the lower cervical spine during a manual distraction (MCD) procedure. Incisions were made anteriorly, and transducers inserted into each nucleus at discs. Four skilled doctors chiropractic (DCs) performed MCD procedure on nine specimens prone position with contacts C5 or C6 vertebrae headpiece different positions. IDP changes, traction forces, manually applied posterior-to-anterior forces analyzed using...
We examine the difficulties that introductory physics students, undergraduate majors, and graduate students have with concepts related to conductors insulators covered in by giving written tests interviewing a subset of students. find even serious these concepts. develop tutorials topics evaluate their effectiveness comparing performance on pre‐/post‐tests interviews who received traditional instruction vs. those learned using tutorials.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the academic impact cooperative peer instruction during lecture pauses in an immunology/endocrinology course. Methods: Third-quarter students participated across iterations Each class offered 20 lectures 50 minutes each. Classes were divided into a peer-instruction group incorporating and control receiving traditional lectures. Peer-instruction 2–3 short presentations followed by multiple-choice question (MCQ). Students recorded initial...
Research in cognitive science has shown that students typically have a difficult time acquiring deep conceptual understanding domains like mathematics and physics often rely on textbook examples to solve new problems. The use of prior facilitates learning, but the advantage is limited very similar One reason so heavily using they lack for how principles are instantiated examples. We review present research aimed at helping learn relations between through generating explanations making analogies.
Abstract Introduction and Aims Combinations of drugs can increase the risk overdose. Our aim was to examine perceptions people dependent on opioid potential overdose from taking a prescribed dose methadone in combination with various other recreational substances. Design Methods A peer‐interviewer survey conducted three New Zealand regions. Recruitment via snowballing initiated at needle exchange substitution treatment (OST) services. Results Participants were 56% male, mean age 37.5 years,...
We evaluated perceived stress in 1st-year chiropractic students and the relationship between test anxiety. Moreover, we sought student-identified stressors that complicate education.We tested 3 hypotheses a longitudinal descriptive study: (1) student-perceived would increase over 6 months of training, (2) depression level grade-point average (GPA) at matriculation predict into program, (3) correlate with cognitive emotional anxiety levels. Assessments used were prematriculation GPA, college...
Normal articular cartilage surfaces are not flat and smooth, but contoured with various degrees of roughness. We applied the surface classification system developed by Jurvelin to evaluate contour quality changes in rat patellae after varying periods knee joint immobilization. In our study, one was immobilized each 20 rats, while contralateral served as a free-moving control. Scanning electron-microscopic montages were constructed entire subdivided areas. The total area all subclass areas...
Three hypotheses were tested in a chiropractic education program: (1) Collaborative topic-specific exams during course would enhance student performance on noncollaborative final exam administered at the end-of-term, compared to students given traditional (noncollaborative) course. (2) Requiring reasons for answer changes collaborative topical further final-exam performance. (3) There be differential question-type effect cumulative exam, with greater improvement comprehension question scores...
Cognitive Science has focused on general principles of problem solving and learning that might be relevant for physics education research. This paper examines three selected issues have relevance the difficulty transfer in domains: specialized systems memory reasoning, importance content thinking, a characterization retrieval solving. In addition, references to these are provided allow interested researcher entries literatures.
