Is low-value care for persistent musculoskeletal pain more common in rural than urban areas? A scoping review.

Background: Low-value care refers to the provision of health services that confer little or no benefit to patients, or have the potential to incur unwarranted harms. A breadth of literature exists investigating geographical variations in rates of potential low-value interventions for musculoskeletal pain. This scoping review aimed to examine the provision of low-value care for osteoarthritis and lower back pain by degree of rurality (e.

Exploring participant satisfaction with an eHealth intervention for low back pain and knee osteoarthritis: Enhancing physiotherapy access in rural Australia.

Introduction: Accessing health services in rural Australia is challenging and innovative solutions to meet residents' needs are required. Research into eHealth is crucial as it offers potential solutions to these challenges. The study aimed to assess participants' satisfaction and experience with an eHealth physiotherapy intervention at improving physical function for low back pain and knee osteoarthritis in rural Australia.

Unveiling the Movement of RanBP1 During the Cell Cycle and Its Interaction with a Cyclin-Dependent Kinase (CDK) in Plants.

In the flower development study, we identified SCI1 (Stigma/style Cell-cycle Inhibitor 1), a regulator of cell proliferation. SCI1 interacts with NtCDKG;2 ( Cyclin-Dependent Kinase G;2), a homolog of human CDK11, which is responsible for RanGTP-dependent microtubule stabilization, regulating spindle assembly rate. In a Y2H screening of a cDNA library using NtCDKG;2 as bait, a RanBP1 (Ran-Binding Protein 1) was revealed as its interaction partner.

Recent Progress in Polyolefin Plastic: Polyethylene and Polypropylene Transformation and Depolymerization Techniques.

This paper highlights the complexity and urgency of addressing plastic pollution, drawing attention to the environmental challenges posed by improperly discarded plastics. Petroleum-based plastic polymers, with their remarkable range of physical properties, have revolutionized industries worldwide. Their versatility-from flexible to rigid and hydrophilic to hydrophobic-has fueled an ever-growing demand.

Land Use Change Consistently Reduces α- But Not β- and γ-Diversity of Bees.

Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α-diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e.
