Importance: Assessments that evaluate health care providers' communication in acute rehabilitation settings remain scarce; this article contributes to the knowledge base.
Objective: To assess the reliability and validity of the Clinical Assessment of Modes-Therapist version (CAM-T) from the provider's perspective.
Design: Cross-sectional, psychometric study.
Setting: Acute care and acute inpatient rehabilitation.
Participants: Ninety-six clients and 32 providers (occupational therapy, physical therapy, and nursing).
Measures: The CAM-T was psychometrically evaluated using classical test theory and Rasch analytic approaches.
Results: The findings offer strong evidence for the CAM-T's reliability and validity for evaluating overall communication and adequate evidence for evaluating individual communication modes.
Conclusion And Relevance: The CAM-T may be used by providers as a self-assessment of communication in occupational therapy and in associated rehabilitation professions.
What This Article Adds: This article offers evidence in support of the CAM-T's reliability and validity for evaluating health care providers' communication with clients in acute rehabilitation settings. The CAM-T may be used to evaluate providers' overall communication and individual mode use as described in the Intentional Relationship Model.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In addition to the daily challenges that HF poses, acute exacerbations can lead to costly hospitalizations and increased mortality. High health care costs and the burden of HF have led to the emerging application of new technologies to support people living with HF to stay well while living in the community.

: The acute effects of static stretching (SS) on dynamic balance, a key fitness component that contributes to injury prevention, has been a subject of significant debate. This study aimed to investigate the acute effect of short-duration SS exercises on dynamic balance following different recovery durations in youth female volleyball players. : Thirteen volunteers U-14 female players were included.

Objective: Although dysregulated inflammation has been postulated as a biological mechanism associated with post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (PASC) and shown to be a correlate and an outcome of PASC, it is unclear whether inflammatory markers can prospectively predict PASC risk. We examined the association of leukocyte count and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentrations, measured ~25 years prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, with PASC, PASC severity, and PASC-associated cognitive outcomes at follow-up among postmenopausal women.
Methods: Using biomarker data from blood specimens collected during pre-pandemic enrollment (1993-1998) and data on 1,237 Women's Health Initiative participants who completed a COVID-19 survey between June 2021 and February 2022, we constructed multivariable regression models that controlled for pertinent characteristics.

Importance: The net clinical effect of early vs later direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) initiation after atrial fibrillation-associated ischemic stroke is unclear.
Objective: To investigate whether early DOAC treatment is associated with a net clinical benefit (NCB).
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a post hoc analysis of the Early Versus Late Initiation of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Post-Ischaemic Stroke Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (ELAN) open-label randomized clinical trial conducted across 103 sites in 15 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia between November 6, 2017, and September 12, 2022, with a 90-day follow-up.

The skeletal system, composed of bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons, serves as the foundation for maintaining human posture, mobility, and overall biomechanical functionality. However, with ageing, chronic overuse, and acute injuries, conditions such as osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, muscle atrophy, and ligament or tendon tears have become increasingly prevalent and pose serious clinical challenges. These disorders not only result in pain, functional loss, and a marked reduction in patients' quality of life but also impose substantial social and economic burdens.
