Introduction: Physiotherapists exhibit different degrees of adherence to clinical guidelines for low back pain (LBP). The preferences and expectations of their patients significantly influence physiotherapists' adherence to these guidelines. Therefore, it is crucial to have a comprehensive analysis of the patients' perspectives, which can identify the factors that prevent the implementation of an active approach.

Article Synopsis
- QT/QTc prolongation can lead to torsade de pointes, and while 12-lead ECGs are commonly used for assessment, they disrupt patient care; bedside monitors with QT/QTc software have been implemented in the ICU.
- A study assessed the accuracy of QT/QTc measurements from these bedside monitors using four leads compared to standard 12-lead ECGs, involving measurements taken within 30 minutes of each other.
- The results indicated good agreement between the two methods, suggesting that bedside monitor QT/QTc readings could effectively identify at-risk patients without needing as many 12-lead ECGs, though further research is needed with larger and non-ICU patient samples.
Ferroptosis, a distinct form of regulated cell death, is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation in cell membranes from dysregulated cellular iron homeostasis and compromised antioxidant defense mechanisms. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is crucial in the regulation of ferroptosis by controlling lipid peroxide accumulation. Recent research established the association of ferroptosis with several diseases, prompting investigation toward ferroptosis-targeted therapeutic approaches.

Method: One hundred and forty seven patients with CLBP were included in this study. Predictive indicators including demographic information, views, expectations, and opinions regarding the health status and treatment expectations of patients were derived from questionnaires.
