Patient Perceptions of Psychological and Rehabilitation Experiences After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Qualitative Study.

Context: Over 80% of patients anticipate fully returning to sport (RTS) within 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), but only one quarter of patients succeed. Although several factors influence the RTS process, this study focused on how psychological responses to injury, such as injury-related fear and self-determined motivation, help to explain variation in rehabilitation experiences. There is limited information about how these meaningful psychological responses to injury are connected to responses such as athlete burnout or how patient perceptions of these responses relate to rehabilitation.

Phosphorus removal from fermented dairy manure concurrent with polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate synthesis under aerobic conditions.

Wastewater phosphorus removal achieved biologically is associated with the process known as enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). In contrast with canonical EBPR operations that employ alternating anaerobic-aerobic conditions and achieve asynchronous carbon and phosphorus storage, research herein focused on phosphorus removal achieved under aerobic conditions synchronously with volatile fatty acid (VFA) storage as polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHBV). 90.

Athletic Trainers' Perceptions of Implementing Psychological Strategies for Patient Management: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To synthesize the best available evidence regarding the perceptions and current clinical practices of athletic trainers (ATs) in integrating psychological skills into patient management.

Data Sources: PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL; via EBSCOhost), PsycInfo (via EBSCOhost), SPORTDiscus (via EBSCOhost), and Scopus (via Elsevier).

Study Selection: Studies had to investigate the current clinical practices and perceptions of certified ATs in integrating psychologically informed practice for patient management.

No Association Between Injury-Related Fear and Isokinetic Quadriceps Strength in Individuals With a History of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Context: Injury-related fear and quadriceps strength are independently associated with secondary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. It is not known whether injury-related fear and quadriceps strength are associated, despite their individual predictive capabilities of secondary ACL injury. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between injury-related fear and quadriceps strength in individuals at least 1 year after ACL reconstruction (ACLR).

A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star.

When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, core-helium-burning red giants has been interpreted as evidence that short-period planets around Sun-like stars do not survive the giant expansion phase of their host stars. Here we present the discovery that the giant planet 8 Ursae Minoris b orbits a core-helium-burning red giant.
