Self-management goal setting: identifying the practice patterns of community-based physical therapists.

Purpose: To describe the collaborative goal-setting practices of community-based physical therapists trained in a self-management (SM) approach who work with clients with chronic conditions and to describe clients' goal-achievement rates. Methods : A retrospective chart review was conducted for 296 randomly selected home-care clients from July 2009 through July 2010 using a chart-abstraction form created to capture demographic data and information related to goal setting and achievement. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, and Pearson's chi-square tests.

[Histogenetic study and mixed lymphocyte reaction in 2 lines of chickens homozygotic for haplotypes B14 and B19].

The histocompatibility status of homozygous chicken for B14 and B19 haplotypes of Hy-line stock origin was compared by skin grafts and the mixed lymphocyte reaction. No differences in graft survival (33 days) could be recorded in H-B compatible grafts in either haplotype tested. Reciprocal allografts however (B14 in equilibrium B19) were rejected within 12 days in both haplotypes.
