<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Most randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses of RCTs examine effect modification (also called a subgroup or interaction), in which the an intervention varies by another variable (e.g., age disease severity). Assessing credibility apparent presents challenges; therefore, we developed Instrument for assessing Credibility Effect Modification Analyses (ICEMAN). <h3>METHODS:</h3> To develop ICEMAN, established detailed concept; identified candidate...
The treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain is often based on three different models regarding the development and maintenance especially functional limitations: deconditioning model, cognitive behavioral model biopsychosocial model. There evidence that rehabilitation patients with more effective than no treatment, but information lacking about differential effectiveness kinds rehabilitation. A direct comparison a physical, cognitive-behavioral combination both has never been carried...
Background Surgical repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures is considered superior to nonoperative treatment, but complications other than rerupture range up 34%. Nonoperative treatment by functional bracing seems a promising alternative. Hypothesis rupture with reduces the number compared surgical minimally invasive technique. Study Design Randomized controlled clinical trial; Level evidence, 2. Method Using concealed random allocation, 83 patients were assigned or followed tape bandage....
Calretinin (CR)-expressing periglomerular (PG) cells are the most abundant interneurons in glomerular layer of olfactory bulb. They predominately generated postnatally from septal and dorsal subventricular zones that continue producing them well into adulthood. Yet, little is known about their properties functions. Using transgenic approaches patch-clamp recording mice both sexes we show CR(+) PG origin have homogeneous morphological electrophysiological properties. However, unlike other...
The association between periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ACVD) has been established in some modestly sized studies (<10 000). Rarely, however, studied directly; often tooth loss or self-reported used as a proxy measure for periodontitis. Our aim is to investigate the adjusted ACVD among all individuals registered large dental school Netherlands (Academic Centre Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA)).Anonymised data were extracted from electronic health records patients aged...
Background: Dysfunction of the cervicothoracic spine and adjacent ribs (also called shoulder girdle) is considered to predict occurrence poor outcome symptoms. It can be treated with manipulative therapy, but scientific evidence for effectiveness such therapy lacking. Objective: To study girdle in addition usual medical care relief pain dysfunction. Design: Randomized, controlled trial. Setting: General practices Groningen, Netherlands. Patients: 150 patients symptoms dysfunction girdle....
To evaluate the responsiveness of Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (SDQ).The study was conducted within framework an observational on shoulder disorders in primary care. After first presentation their complaints to general practitioner and after one six months, participants completed SDQ, a single question functional status (FSQ), ordinal 11 point scale for severity pain (PSS). Responsiveness SDQ evaluated compared with that FSQ PSS, by calculating ratios plotting receiver operating...
Shoulder pain is common in primary care and has an unfavourable outcome many patients. Information about predictors of scarce inconsistent. The objective this study was to develop clinical prediction rules for calculating the absolute risk persistent shoulder symptoms individual patients, 6 weeks month after first consultation general practice. A prospective cohort with months follow-up carried out three geographic areas Netherlands. In study, 587 patients a new episode were included. main...
