Introduction: Despite the growing evidence for the effects of tailored internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) programmes for those receiving physical rehabilitation, there is a lack of implementation of these programmes in a clinical or community setting. The aim of the current study was to evaluate barriers and facilitators of implementing an ICBT programme into a physical medicine rehabilitation setting.
Methods: Stakeholders with expertise in physical medicine rehabilitation were recruited (n = 25) including: 16 clinicians, 4 administrators, 3 persons with lived experience, and 2 care partners.
In the present work, we propose an experimental setup to investigate the effect of atmospheric turbulence on user-defined beams. The user-defined beams were formed by writing reconfigurable patterns on a spatial light modulator, allowing the impact of atmospheric turbulence to be investigated simultaneously and in real time. The programmable controllability provides several flexibilities to the system, such as the ability to create different beam types simultaneously, control the separation between different beams, compensate for aberrations, and easily switch between different beam types.

This study examined HRQOL among older adults undergoing CRC treatment, and the conditional effects of race, ethnicity, and primary language. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of Medicare Advantage enrollees ≥ 65 years old who completed the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (MHOS) (2016-2020).

Melatonin may have a role in delirium prevention for critically ill adults based on data from non-critically ill patient populations. Our objective was to assess the feasibility of a multi-centre, randomized, placebo-controlled trial testing the hypothesis that low-dose melatonin prevents delirium in critically ill adults.
