Cognition in elite soccer players: a general model.

This paper presents a general model of the cognitive processes involved in each play situation of soccer at the elite level. Theoretically the model draws on general frameworks from cognitive psychology and neuroscience, in particular the affordance competition hypothesis and the reward prediction error theory. The model includes three functional stages: situational assessment, action selection and execution, and outcome assessment.

Costs of shoulder disorders in Denmark: a nationwide cost-of-illness study investigating 617,334 patients and matched controls.

Shoulder disorders are very common musculoskeletal conditions. Few studies have focused on the costs associated with shoulder disorders, and the economic burden has never been established in a nationwide cost-of-illness study. We aimed to evaluate the healthcare costs and costs of productivity loss (sick leave) and to evaluate if costs were higher for specific subgroups.

Responsiveness and minimal important change of the Oxford Shoulder Score, EQ-5D, and the Fear-Avoidance Belief Questionnaire Physical Activity subscale in patients undergoing arthroscopic subacromial decompression.

Introduction: Adequate responsiveness and knowledge of the minimal important change (MIC) is essential when using patient-reported outcome measures to assess treatment efficacy.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the responsiveness and MIC of common outcomes in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome undergoing arthroscopic subacromial decompression.

Methods: At baseline and 6 months after surgery, patients completed the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), EQ-5D 5-level utility index, EQ visual analogue scale, Fear-Avoidance Belief Questionnaire Physical Activity subscale (FABQ-PA), assessed pain (pain visual analogue scale), and Subjective Shoulder Value.

18F FDG-PET/CT has poor diagnostic accuracy in diagnosing shoulder PJI.

Purpose: Chronic low-grade periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of a shoulder replacement can be challenging to diagnose. 18F-FDG PET/CT is suggested as a modality to diagnose lower-limb PJI, but no studies on shoulder replacements exist. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing chronic PJI of the shoulder.
