The co-development and evaluation of an e-learning course on spinal cord injury physical activity counselling: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Health, fitness and lifestyle professionals can play important roles in promoting physical activity in groups at risk of developing an inactive lifestyle, such as people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Tailored counselling is a promising tool to promote and improve physical activity levels. To support professionals to effectively have a conversation about physical activity with clients with SCI, evidence-based training and resources are needed.

Theory- and evidence-based best practices for physical activity counseling for adults with spinal cord injury.

Objectives: This project used a systematic and integrated knowledge translation (IKT) approach to co-create theory- and evidence-based best practices for physical activity counseling for adults with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Methods: Guided by the IKT Guiding Principles, we meaningfully engaged research users throughout this project. A systematic approach was used.

An analysis of filtration and volume of radionucleotide in sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients.

Controversy has occurred regarding whether to filter or not to filter the radionucleotide and what the optimal volume is when performing sentinel lymph node biopsies. To try and resolve this question we retrospectively looked at sentinel-node biopsies for breast cancer performed at our institution over an 18-month period. One hundred seven patients underwent sentinel node biopsy.
