Introduction: Shoulder pain represents a common patient complaint evaluated in a primary care setting. Approximately two thirds of these patients have rotator cuff injuries, with rotator cuff tears (RCTs) and subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) accounting for a majority of causes. An accurate and efficient diagnostic strategy focused on physical examination findings may lead to improved outcomes and less functional disability.

This substudy of FAST explores physical activity in community-dwelling people after stroke comparing the FAST intervention to usual care.
Methods: This study used a subset of 49 participants from a randomised trial.
Questions: In subacute, non-ambulatory individuals after stroke, does mechanically assisted walking with body weight support result in more independent walking or better walking ability than usual walking training in the short term? Are any benefits maintained in the longer term? Is it detrimental to walking in terms of walking speed?
Design: A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomised studies with a Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) score > 4.
Participants: Non-ambulatory adults ≤ 12 weeks after stroke.
Intervention: Any type of mechanically assisted walking with body weight support.
Article Synopsis
- Noncentrosymmetric two-dimensional superconductors like few-layer T_{d}-MoTe_{2} exhibit unique superconducting properties, including upper critical fields exceeding the Pauli limit by up to 600%.
- The enhancement of these properties is still debated, with theories suggesting influences from either spin-orbit parity coupling or tilted Ising spin-orbit coupling.
- In bilayer T_{d}-MoTe_{2}, experiments show superconductivity has a twofold symmetry influenced by magnetic and electric fields, and findings support tilted Ising spin-orbit coupling as the main mechanism.
Anthropogenic activities can significantly impact wildlife in natural water bodies, affecting not only the host's physiology but also its microbiome. This study aimed to analyze the gut microbiome and antimicrobial resistance gene profile (i.e.
