- Surgical management for long head of the biceps tendon tendinopathy is common, yet there is limited information on the use of physical therapy (PT) prior to such procedures.
- A study analyzed the medical records of 308 patients, revealing that only 20.1% attended PT before surgery, with an average of four visits; active interventions like therapeutic exercises were the most common.
- The findings suggest PT is underutilized before biceps surgery, indicating a need for further research to explore the reasons behind this low engagement.
Genome-wide technologies open up new possibilities to clarify questions on genetic structure and phylogeographic history of taxa previously studied with microsatellite loci and mitochondrial sequences. Here, we used 736 individual red deer (Cervus elaphus) samples genotyped at 35,701 single nucleotide polymorphism loci (SNPs) to assess the population structure of the species throughout Europe. The results identified 28 populations, with higher degrees of genetic distinction in peripheral compared to mainland populations.

The Clinical Reasoning Assessment Tool (CRAT) was developed to assess CR in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and residency education. However, the reliability of the CRAT has not been investigated.
