Introduction: Ireland's Health Service Executive is developing a new national integrated low back pain (LBP) pathway spanning primary and secondary care to improve LBP healthcare. Clinical pathways are frequently employed to optimise clinical outcomes and resource use but are challenging to implement. Context-specific implementation planning, leveraging implementation science and its conceptual frameworks, should inform successful implementation.

Design: Descriptive qualitative study incorporating an inductive thematic analysis to identify key barrier and enabler themes and subsequent deductive mapping to the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).
Setting: Primary care in Ireland.
During influenza A virus (IAV) infection, host pathogen receptor retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) detects the partially complementary, 5'-triphosphorylated ends of the viral genome segments and non-canonical replication products. However, it has also been suggested that innate immune responses may be triggered by viral transcription. In this study, we investigated whether an immunostimulatory RNA is produced during IAV transcription.

Method: Five databases were searched systematically from inception to May 2022. Study and sample characteristics, and hip displacement and hip function measures, mapped to the ICF domains, were extracted for narrative synthesis.
Veterinary medical students experiencing curricular challenges naturally look to their institution for resources to facilitate improvement in academic productivity. Academic remediation programs tend to be institution-specific, and their impact on student success is uncommonly interrogated using rigorous objective assessment. This study investigated the deployment of an academic development program (ADP) in the second semester of the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) Program.
