A huge body of literature in social psychology describes 70 years theory and experimentation relating attitudes to behavior. Much it suggests a stronger causal link between choices than that choices—attitude models conditioned on revealed choice explain more knowledge peoples' determination what they will make. Alternative analyses suggest attitudinal other data should be used determine respondents' intentions rather their desires better predict Attitude studies are becoming prevalent the...
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is treated by insertion of a ventricular peritoneal (VP) shunt. To help identify who would benefit from VP shunt, patients undergo tap test (TT). Several measures can change TT, but the magnitude and combination that indicate improvement TT unclear.To develop minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for battery gait, balance, cognitive in relation to which best identifies when has occurred.Observational study iNPH undergoing...
Machine vision has demonstrated its usefulness in the livestock industry terms of improving welfare such areas as lameness detection and body condition scoring dairy cattle. In this article, we present some promising results applying state art object classification techniques to insects, specifically Black Soldier Fly (BSF) domestic cricket, with view enabling automated processing for insect farming. We also low-cost "Insecto" Internet Things (IoT) device, which provides environmental...
Patients diagnosed with idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) typically experience symptom improvements after undergoing a cerebrospinal fluid-tap test (CSF-TT), These are recognized as indicative of potential following surgical intervention. As gait disturbance is the most common iNPH symptom, predominant interest. The purpose this study was to examine if clinically important changes in and balance from CSF-TT predict meaningful surgery.
Objective To determine whether changes in the cutaneous trunci muscle ( CTM ) reflex are an early predictor of outcome dogs with severe acute thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion IVDE ). Study Design Multicenter prospective cohort study. Animals Dogs n = 36) causing paraplegia, loss nociception pelvic limbs and tail, abnormal postoperatively. Methods The caudal border was established 24 hours after surgery at discharge, reported as moving cranially, caudally, or staying static. were...

Abstract Background The disconnect between research and clinical practice leads to evidence that is often not useful for practice. Practice-based networks are collaborations researchers clinicians aimed at coproducing more research. Such rare in the physiotherapy field. We describe (i) clinicians’ motivations behind, enablers to, participating a network, (ii) process of network establishment (iii) priorities practice-based physiotherapists Hunter Region New South Wales (NSW), Australia...
Objective To describe the cutaneous trunci muscle ( CTM ) reflex in dogs. Study Design Prospective descriptive study. Animals Normal dogs n = 155) and 10 with thoracolumbar myelopathies. Methods The caudal border was assessed from ilial crests moving cranially until a contraction elicited. lateral borders were evaluated at 4 levels distance midline to expressed as percentage of trunk hemicircumference. myelopathies by different observers 1 observer on 3 occasions; inter‐ intraobserver kappa...
ObjectiveThe aims of this study were to identify: (1) whether an after-hours emergency department (ED) collaborative care service using primary contact physiotherapists (PCPs) improves treatment times for musculoskeletal and simple orthopaedic presentations; (2) differences in referral rates analgesia prescription patients managed by PCPs compared with secondary physiotherapists. MethodsA prospective observational was conducted diagnosed, matched seen a 4-day week ED physiotherapy tertiary...

Student self-confidence student agency are critical students’ development at this stage. The flipped classroom a model within blended learning pedagogy one that has gained considerable attention educational circles since school closures due COVID-19 pandemic. benefits toward developing noteworthy....
Abstract Objective —To compare direct measurements of canine oxyhemoglobin (HbO 2 ) saturation and blood oxygen content (ContO in healthy dogs with analyzer-calculated values derived by use a human HbO relationship hand-calculated relationship. Animals —17 dogs. Procedure —3-mL samples heparinized arterial jugular venous were collected from each dog. The pH, PCO , PO hemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, ContO measured; calculated automatically analyzers also hand-calculated. Blood...
Abstract Objective To develop and implement a telehealth‐based model of care for spinal fractures requiring management with thoracic lumbar sacral orthoses that eliminates the need transfer to metropolitan tertiary referral hospital. Design Pre–post design observational study evaluating implementation. Setting Rural hospitals in large NSW region covering metropolitan, rural remote hospitals. Participants Patients presenting or spine fracture clinicians caring them. Outcome measures Number...
A clear distinction between oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) is critically important for clinical management of patients. But it may often be difficult to distinguish the two entities based on hematoxylin eosin (H E) stained sections alone. In this study, second harmonic generation (SHG) signals which are very specific collagen were used image fibril structure. We conduct a pilot study develop new diagnostic method analysis associated with kidney tumors using...
The present study examined the relationship between sleep symptoms and work productivity in a diverse community sample. Data from Sleep Healthy Activity, Diet, Environment, Socialization (SHADES) was used, including N=1,007 adults age 22–60. Work assessed with validated Well-being Assessment of Productivity (WBAP), which includes items assessing impact health, caregiving, lack resources, coworker issues, overscheduling, supervisor worries, depression/anxiety, financial stress, technical...

This be especially true when bedroom is viewed as unsafe. The aim of present study was examine whether exposure associated with poor adulthood how this moderated by perceived safety. A diverse sample 1,002 community-based adults age 22–60 participated Sleep Healthy Activity, Diet, Environment, Socialization...
Background:Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a condition resulting in symptom triad of gait ataxia, cognitive impairment, and urinary incontinence. Idiopathic presents diagnostic management dilemma such that involves the placement ventricular peritoneal (VP) shunt to which not all patients will respond. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage tests as lumbar puncture tap test (TT) provide prognostic indication response shunting. However, determination what constitutes positive...
