Concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, is caused by sudden mechanical forces impacting the brain either directly or through inertial loading. This can lead to physical, behavioural and cognitive impairments. Despite concussion being a significant health issue, our understanding of the relationship between initial impact force and the subsequent neurological consequences is not well understood.

Design: This is a psychometric study.
Setting: Physical therapy clinics of a large pediatric hospital in Columbus, Ohio (United States).
Purpose: To investigate the effects of physical therapy interventions of the hip on outcomes of pain and disability in patients with low back pain.
Data Sources: PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus were searched from inception to 18 April 2018.
Study Selection/eligibility Criteria: The following inclusion criteria were required to be met: (1) randomized controlled trials; (2) populations with diagnosed low back pain; and (3) interventions that target the hip joint.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether low-attenuation oral contrast agent (milk with 4% fat) in PET-CT gastrointestinal studies(GIT) improves the diagnostic accuracy.
Justification For The Study: Traditional high-contrast oral agents like iodine solutions, and barium suspensions which due to overcorrection problems in PET-CT interpretation lowers the accuracy of diagnosis. Traditional low-attenuation oral contrast agents are water, air, fat containing agents used with 12.
