Exploring Religion and Spirituality in Social Work Practice: A Wisconsin Case Study.

Research suggests spirituality is linked to positive health outcomes, but social workers report barriers to incorporating it into care planning. The literature suggests general interest in learning and executing social work practice involving religion/spirituality (R/S) intentionally. While some empirical study has been conducted, this work is largely superficial and undeveloped.

Height, weight, and BMI predict intra-articular injuries observed during ACL reconstruction: evaluation of 456 cases from a prospective ACL database.

Objective: To identify demographic and anthropometric risk factors for intra-articular (IA) injuries observed during ACL reconstruction. We hypothesize that significant associations exist among height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) with IA injuries when ACL tear occurs.

Design: This observational study of a prospective multi-investigator ACL database used logistic and Poisson regression analysis to assess independent predictors of IA injuries.
