Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of in-person pulmonary rehabilitation programs in Australia, prompting the evaluation of a six-month text message support program aimed at helping individuals manage their health remotely.
- The study used the RE-AIM framework to assess the program’s reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance, with findings indicating a positive reception among participants regarding the clarity and helpfulness of the messages.
- Results showed a 36.4% enrollment rate with high satisfaction levels (e.g., 98.5% found messages easy to understand), a 92.2% retention rate, and cost-effectiveness, indicating the program's potential as a viable alternative to traditional rehabilitation methods.
Multidisciplinary pain therapy (MPT) is considered as best practice for treating patients with chronical back pain. Several studies showed the cost effectiveness of interdisciplinary treatment. The aim of the present study is to identify patient characteristics that, under condition of MMT, can be associated with favourable cost trajectories after intervention.

Cell populations of the stationary growth phase showed a relative decrease of the protein content and an increase of triglycerides and alkoxydiglycerides which could be located in the non-sedimenting fraction and in the nuclei and mitochondria containing fraction, respectively. Futheron, distinct shifts in the subcellular distribution of those lipid classes could be observed which exhibited no relative overall increase or decrease when the cells of both growth phases were compared.
