Cricket players' perceptions of playing on artificial turf.

With the recent introduction of artificial turf outfield playing surfaces in community-level cricket, this paper presents the physical performance and injury-related perceptions of male, senior cricketers. Following validity and reliability testing, 43 cricketers from two clubs completed a questionnaire comprising three sections: demographic information; individual performance; and injury risk and severity. Descriptive variables were computed, and chi-square tests were conducted to identify differences in perceptions based on the field type that players were exposed to and their injury status.

Concussion assessment and management - What do community-level cricket participants know?

Objectives: To explore Australian cricket participants' knowledge of concussion assessment and management, and awareness of current concussion guidelines.

Design: Cross-sectional survey.

Methods: Novel and validated surveys were disseminated online, among over 16 year Australian cricket players and officials at the end of the 2018/19 cricket season.

Clinical Outcomes and Associations With Radial to Femoral Crossover in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Radial access during primary percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with reduced mortality and major bleeding compared with femoral access and is the recommended access site. Nevertheless, failure to secure radial access may necessitate crossover to femoral access. This study aimed to identify the associations with crossover from radial to femoral access in all comers with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and to compare the clinical outcomes with those patients who did not require crossover.

A longitudinal analysis of factors associated with post traumatic growth after acquired brain injury.

Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) is a form of positive psychological change that occurs for some individuals following traumatic experiences. High levels of PTG have been reported among survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI). Yet it remains unclear why some survivors of ABI develop PTG and others do not.

Self-reported outcomes and patterns of service engagement after an acquired brain injury: a long-term follow-up study.

Primary Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics, self-reported outcomes in domains relating to activities of daily living and patterns of service engagement in the survivors of a moderate-to-severe acquired brain injury over seven years.

Research Design: A longitudinal research design was used.

Methods And Procedures: Thirty-two individuals who sustained a moderate-to-severe acquired brain injury completed a Sociodemographic and Support Questionnaire at one (t1) and seven years (t2) after completing a publicly funded inpatient neurorehabilitation program.
