Objectives: (i) Investigate if lower-limb running biomechanics differ between women and men with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, and (ii) explore whether sex-specific relationships between lower-limb running biomechanics and symptom severity and sport-related concerns exist.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: Gait laboratory.

Background: Women's participation in all football codes (including Australian Football [AF]) is increasing rapidly. To guide injury prevention strategies, the authors aimed to describe the current and lifetime prevalence of significant musculoskeletal injuries and concussions for women and girls playing community AF.
Hypothesis: Women will have high rates of injury associated with playing AF.
Introduction: As airway liquid is cleared into lung interstitial tissue after birth, the chest wall must expand to accommodate this liquid and the incoming air. We examined the effect of applying external positive and negative pressures to the chest wall on lung aeration in near-term rabbit kittens at risk of developing respiratory distress.
Methods: Rabbit kittens (30 days; term ∼31 days) were randomised into and groups.
To (1) establish a women's knee health consumer advisory group (CAG) via an evidence-informed process and (2) identify the CAG's research priorities to inform future projects. Mixed-methods priority-setting study. The CAG was established, grounded in a participatory action research approach and using the Patient Engagement in Research Framework, to inform a 4-phase process: (1) understand, (2) plan, (3) undertake, and (4) evaluate.
