[Promoting Factors, Barriers and Barrier Management to the Implementation of Health-Promoting Behavior among Rehabilitative Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain - A Qualitative Analysis].

Unlabelled: Backgroundand aim: The long-term success of rehabilitation in chronic low back pain is not yet established. The present study examined promoting factors, barriers and barrier management of health-promoting behavior among rehabilitative patients.

Method: In total, 35 documents of patients of 4 inpatient behavioral medicine orthopedic rehabilitation clinics were included into the analysis of a written survey based on 3 open questions.

Work status and health-related quality of life following multimodal work hardening: a cluster randomised trial.

Background: Systematic reviews have confirmed the effectiveness of work-related rehabilitation with significant cognitive-behavioural components for patients with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). In Germany, however, work-related rehabilitation focuses mainly on functional capacity training and less on psychosocial work demands.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of multimodal work hardening (MWH) with a cognitive-behavioural approach.

[Return to work following work-related orthopaedic rehabilitation: a cluster randomized trial].

Background: Since the 1990s work-related programmes became more important in orthopaedic rehabilitation. However, in Germany orthopaedic rehabilitation initially focussed on improvements in evaluating functional capacity and on the development of appropriate modules of exercise therapy while psychosocial work demands have been less considered in the rehabilitation process so far.

Objective: Aims of the study were implementation and efficacy evaluation of an intensified multimodal work-related programme following a cognitive behavioural approach.

The significance of squamous differentiation in endometrial carcinoma. Data from a Gynecologic Oncology Group study.

Squamous differentiation is identified in about 25% of endometrial adenocarcinomas (AC). Its significance has been the subject of debate for decades, and it has been reported that the prognosis of adenoacanthoma (AA) is better than, the same as, and worse than that of AC. Part of this confusion has resulted from semantic differences relating to the use of AA and adenosquamous carcinoma (AS).

Long-term outcome following testicular ischemia in the rat.

Male germ cells are quite sensitive to interruption in blood flow. Eight weeks after subjection to 45 minutes of testicular ischemia, the spermatogenic epithelium of the rat remains significantly damaged, though other cell types are well preserved. The authors evaluated the testicular recovery of the rats at 8 and 72 weeks after the 45-minute period of warm ischemia.
