Effectiveness of implementation strategies for increasing clinicians' use of five validated imaging decision rules for musculoskeletal injuries: a systematic review.

Background: Strategies to enhance clinicians' adherence to validated imaging decision rules and increase the appropriateness of imaging remain unclear.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of various implementation strategies for increasing clinicians' use of five validated imaging decision rules (Ottawa Ankle Rules, Ottawa Knee Rule, Canadian C-Spine Rule, National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study and Canadian Computed Tomography Head Rule).

Design: Systematic review.

Achieving sub-0.5-angstrom-resolution ptychography in an uncorrected electron microscope.

Subangstrom resolution has long been limited to aberration-corrected electron microscopy, where it is a powerful tool for understanding the atomic structure and properties of matter. Here, we demonstrate electron ptychography in an uncorrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) with deep subangstrom spatial resolution down to 0.44 angstroms, exceeding the conventional resolution of aberration-corrected tools and rivaling their highest ptychographic resolutions​.

Awareness and use of five imaging decision rules for musculoskeletal injuries: a systematic review.

Background: Several validated decision rules are available for clinicians to guide the appropriate use of imaging for patients with musculoskeletal injuries, including the Canadian CT Head Rule, Canadian C-Spine Rule, National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study (NEXUS) guideline, Ottawa Ankle Rules and Ottawa Knee Rules. However, it is unclear to what extent clinicians are aware of the rules and are using these five rules in practice.

Objective: To determine the proportion of clinicians that are aware of five imaging decision rules and the proportion that use them in practice.

Can language enhance physical therapists' willingness to follow Choosing Wisely recommendations? A best-worst scaling study.

Background: Choosing Wisely recommendations could reduce physical therapists' use of low-value care.

Objective: To investigate whether language influences physical therapists' willingness to follow the Australian Physiotherapy Association's (APA) Choosing Wisely recommendations.

Design: Best-worst Scaling survey METHODS: The six original APA Choosing Wisely recommendations were modified based on four language characteristics (level of detail, strength- qualified/unqualified, framing, and alternatives to low-value care) to create 60 recommendations.

Physiotherapists' attitudes, views, and beliefs about Choosing Wisely recommendations: A qualitative study.

Objective: Explore physiotherapists' attitudes, views, and beliefs towards the Australian Physiotherapy Association's (APA) Choosing Wisely recommendations.

Design: Qualitative interview study.

Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with physiotherapists who were registered to practise in Australia.

Atomic-Resolution Imaging of Small Organic Molecules on Graphene.

Here, we demonstrate atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging of light elements in small organic molecules on graphene. We use low-dose, room-temperature, aberration-corrected STEM to image 2D monolayer and bilayer molecular crystals, followed by advanced image processing methods to create high-quality composite images from ∼10-10 individual molecules. In metalated porphyrin and phthalocyanine derivatives, these images contain an elementally sensitive contrast with up to 1.

Physical therapy utilization, costs, and return-to-work status following lumbar spine surgery: A retrospective analysis of workers compensation claims in Australia.

Background: No study to our knowledge has explored physical therapy utilization following lumbar spine surgery in a workers' compensation setting.

Objectives: Describe physical therapy utilization and costs, and return-to-work status in patients following lumbar spine surgery under a workers' compensation claim.

Methods: Using data from the New South Wales (NSW) State Insurance Regulatory Authority (Australia), we audited physical therapy billing codes for patients who received lumbar spine surgery from 2010 to 2017.

Advice and education provide small short-term improvements in pain and disability in people with non-specific spinal pain: a systematic review.

Questions: What is the effect of advice/education compared with placebo or no advice/education on pain and disability in people with non-specific spinal pain? To what extent do characteristics of the patients, trial or intervention modify the estimate of the treatment effects?

Design: A systematic review with meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials.

Participants: Adults with non-specific back and/or neck pain with or without radiating leg/arm pain of any duration were included. Trials recruiting pregnant women or surgical patients in the immediate postoperative phase were ineligible.

Completeness and quality of low back pain prevalence data in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.

Introduction: Completeness of Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study data is acknowledged as a limitation. To date, no study has evaluated this issue for low back pain, a leading contributor to disease burden globally.

Methods: We retrieved reports, in any language, based on citation details from the GBD 2017 study website.

Physiotherapy utilisation and costs before lumbar spine surgery: a retrospective analysis of workers compensation claims in Australia.

Background: Understanding how much physiotherapy people receive before lumbar spine surgery could give insight into what people and clinicians consider an adequate trial of non-operative management. The aim of this study was to investigate physiotherapy utilisation and costs before lumbar spine surgery under a workers' compensation claim in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

Methods: Using data from the NSW State Insurance Regulatory Authority, we audited physiotherapy billing codes used before surgery for people who received lumbar spine surgery from 2010 to 2018.

Are musculoskeletal conditions neglected in national health surveys?

Objective: To describe the proportion of national health surveys that contain questions on the prevalence and consequences of musculoskeletal conditions.

Methods: We used a comprehensive search strategy to obtain national health surveys from the 218 countries listed by the World Bank. Two authors independently extracted information from each national health survey.
