Background: Physiotherapy has emerged as an important health strategy to deliver lifestyle, exercise and physical activity for people with knee osteoarthritis. However, little is known about the extent to which physiotherapists adhere to clinical practice guidelines. This study aimed to explore the perspectives and care patterns of physiotherapists in Sydney, Australia on their delivery of knee osteoarthritis care and how this aligns with the 2019 Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) guidelines.

- The audit aimed to assess and improve the completeness and accuracy of the National Joint Registry (NJR) dataset specifically for elbow arthroplasty surgeries.
- In a two-phase approach, Phase 1 compared NJR data with NHS England Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), identifying thousands of unmatched and inaccurate records, particularly for radial head arthroplasties (RHAs).
- Phase 2 involved collaboration among 142 NHS hospitals to correct and update records, resulting in an improved completeness of the NJR dataset from 63% to 93% and accuracy from 94% to 98%.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the presence of arsenic, cadmium, and lead in processed foods meant for infants and young children, focusing on how these toxic elements co-occur in different food categories.
- It used statistical methods to evaluate correlations between the elements, finding that most food categories showed positive correlations, meaning if one element is high, others tend to be too.
- The research suggests that understanding these correlations is important for regulating food safety, as it can affect how supply levels are assessed against maximum allowable limits.
