Association between seated trunk control and cortical sensorimotor white matter brain changes in patients with chronic low back pain.

Trunk control involves integration of sensorimotor information in the brain. Individuals with chronic low back pain (cLBP) have impaired trunk control and show differences in brain structure and function in sensorimotor areas compared with healthy controls (HC). However, the relationship between brain structure and trunk control in this group is not well understood.

Vibration-Induced Alteration in Trunk Extensor Muscle Proprioception as a Model for Impaired Trunk Control in Low Back Pain.

This study examined the impact of personalizing muscle vibration parameters on trunk control. We assessed how altered trunk extensor muscle (TEM) proprioception affects seated trunk control in healthy controls (HCs). To explore the link between altered TEM proprioception and impaired trunk control in chronic low back pain (cLBP), we performed equivalence testing between HCs undergoing TEM vibration and cLBP without vibration.

Antibody levels following vaccination of beef calves with a tetanus toxoid.

Tetanus is a preventable, yet often fatal, disease affecting many species, including beef cattle. Vaccination for tetanus is recommended for calves at high risk of disease, but typical beef cattle management practices often make adherence to vaccine manufacturers' guidance for a second (booster) dose of vaccine difficult. This study examined the antibody response following a single dose of tetanus toxoid, as well as following booster vaccination at various intervals.

"When You Look at This Chart, That Is Not My Whole Life": Caregiver Perspectives to Inform Improved Primary Care Practice and Outcomes.

Objective: Worsening rates of infant and maternal mortality in the United States serve as an urgent call for multi-modal intervention. Infant Well Child Visits (WCVs) provide an opportunity for prevention, however not all infants receive the recommended schedule of visits, with infants of low-income and Black families missing a higher portion of WCVs. Due to diverse experiences and needs of under-resourced communities throughout the United States, caregiver voice is essential when designing improvement efforts.
