Reliability of the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy in the examination of spinal pain, including the OTHER classifications: Reliability of the McKenzie Method in spinal pain.
Braz J Phys Ther

Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep Alkmaar, Rehabilitation Department, Alkmaar, the Netherlands.
Background: The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) is used worldwide to classify and manage musculoskeletal (MSK) problems. The assessment includes a detailed patient history and a specific physical examination. Research has investigated the reliability of the MDT spinal classification system (Derangement syndrome, Dysfunction syndrome, Postural syndrome, and OTHER), however no study has assessed the reliability of the 10 classifications grouped together as OTHER.

College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Hawassa University, Hawassa, Ethiopia.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni and soil-transmitted helminth infections among 363 schoolchildren in rural Ethiopia, finding an overall helminth infection rate of 59.8%, with significant instances of both single and multiple infections.
- - Among those infected, 33.9% had S. mansoni and 38.8% had other soil-transmitted helminths, primarily Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, hookworms, and Strongyloides stercoralis.
- - Diagnostic methods used showed substantial agreement for detecting certain helminths, and the prevalence of S. mansoni was notably lower in children from Finchawa primary school compared
Comparison of two methods of measuring the urinary protein concentration for the determination of the urinary protein to creatinine ratio in various animal species.
Vet Med (Praha)
August 2024
Department of Animal Welfare and Protection and Veterinary Public Health, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary Sciences, Brno, Czech Republic.
Determination of the urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPC) is an important tool in the quantification of proteinuria in animals. However, the result may be affected by the different methods of determining the urinary protein concentration. The aim of this study was to compare the turbidimetric method using benzethonium chloride and the colorimetric method using pyrogallol red in the measurement of the urinary protein concentration in dogs, cats, guinea pigs and horses.

BMC Prim Care
July 2024
Institute of primary care, University and University Hospital Zurich, Pestalozzistr. 24, Zürich, 8091, Switzerland.
Background: Diagnoses entered by general practitioners into electronic medical records have great potential for research and practice, but unfortunately, diagnoses are often in uncoded format, making them of little use. Natural language processing (NLP) could assist in coding free-text diagnoses, but NLP models require local training data to unlock their potential. The aim of this study was to develop a framework of research-relevant diagnostic codes, to test the framework using free-text diagnoses from a Swiss primary care database and to generate training data for NLP modelling.

Associate Professor, Substitutive Dental Science Department, College of Dentistry, Taibah University, Al Madinah Almonawrah, Saudi Arabia; and Professor, Crown and Bridge Department, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different tooth substrates (enamel, dentin, or composite resin) impact the survival and complication rates of ceramic veneers.
- A systematic review analyzed 973 articles, narrowing down to 6 clinical studies that measured the effectiveness of veneers on varying surfaces.
- Results showed that veneers bonded to enamel had the highest survival and success rates (99%), while those on composite resin or dentin had lower rates, indicating that bonding material significantly affects longevity and complication risks.
