Purpose: To investigate potential mechanisms of a digital rehabilitation intervention associated with improved mobility among adults undertaking rehabilitation.

Materials And Methods: Causal mediation analysis of the AMOUNT trial (ACTRN12614000936628). Participants were randomised to digitally-enabled rehabilitation (virtual reality video games, activity monitors, and handheld computer devices prescribed by a physiotherapist) and usual care or usual care alone.

Visual neuroscience benefits from high-quality datasets with neuronal responses to many images. Several neuroimaging datasets have been published in recent years, but no comparable dataset with spiking activity exists. Here, we introduce the THINGS ventral stream spiking dataset (TVSD).

Introduction: Accurate report of stool form is essential to diagnosis and assessment of treatment response. The modified Bristol Stool Form Scale for Children (mBSFS-C) classifies stool form into 5 types and is reliable and valid. However, a direct comparison of provider's and children's ratings using the mBSFS-C vs the traditional BSFS that uses 7 stool form types has not been done.

Article Synopsis
  • Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is gaining popularity due to its benefits like smaller incisions and quicker recovery times, but online information about it often exceeds readable levels for patients.
  • A study assessed the responses from ChatGPT to 15 frequently asked questions about MISS, focusing on clinical appropriateness and readability as judged by three neurosurgeons.
  • Results showed that all generated responses had readability scores above the recommended levels for patient education, indicating they were difficult for average patients to understand, particularly for intraoperative questions.

Introduction: Viscoelastic testing (VET) has been implemented in clinical care to diagnose and manage coagulation in patients with manifest or high risk of major bleeding. However, the breakdown of formed blood clots, that is, fibrinolysis, has been comparatively less studied. There is an increasing recognition that acute infections trigger a dysregulated immunothrombotic response, which has focused attention on viscoelastic testing to identify in particular fibrinolysis resistant states.
