Objective: This study aimed to investigate the current beliefs and practices among Australian physiotherapists regarding the management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Setting: Online survey.
The management of persisting instability following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) includes isolated lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LEAT). The present study investigates the outcomes following isolated LEAT to address ongoing instability following ACLR without LEAT. Patients with ongoing symptomatic instability following ACLR with a radiologically intact and well-positioned graft who underwent an isolated LEAT between January 2017 and March 2022 were retrospectively recruited.

- - This study examined differences in recovery between males and females after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) focusing on physical and psychological aspects as well as return to sport (RTS) rates.
- - Results showed that males had better recovery scores on measures like the ACL-RSI and the IKDC, with a higher percentage returning to pivoting sports compared to females at 24 months post-operation.
- - Overall, females exhibited lower physical performance, subjective function, and psychological readiness for RTS, highlighting a need for tailored recovery strategies based on sex.
It is well-established that disrupted autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity exacerbates risk for long-term maladjustment following childhood adversity (CA). However, few studies have integrated measures of both the sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PNS) branches of the ANS, resulting in a unidimensional understanding of ANS functioning as a mechanism of risk. Further, past work has primarily measured CA only at the aggregate level (e.

Methods: The demographics, clinical features and treatments for retinoblastoma, pathologic types of non-pineoblastoma second primary malignant neoplasm (SPMN), intervals between the retinoblastoma diagnosis and treatment and diagnosis of non-pineoblastoma SPMN, treatment provided for the SPMN, and the survival outcomes of the patients were evaluated.
Results: Of 550 patients treated initially for retinoblastoma, this series used the 15 (2.
