    Abstract Introduction: The Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Screening Clinic and Multi-disciplinary Service (MPSC&MDS) is an advanced practice physiotherapist-led model of care developed initially to address overburdened specialist orthopaedic outpatient public hospital services across Queensland, Australia.
    Purpose: This Masterclass explores the experiences and success of embedding the MPSC&MDS state-wide across the Queensland public health system and its expansion in scale and reach to other specialist services. Key characteristics and development strategies are described that have collectively underpinned the expansion and sustainability of the service, using relevant stream sections and themes from a recommended musculoskeletal model of care framework.
    Implications: The aim of this masterclass is to be informative for readers involved in the future development or refinement of similar models of care.

    Abstract The Sars-Cov-2 pandemic had an immeasurable impact on the provision of palliative care in Ireland, and continues to do so. Patients and families were affected by stringent infectious disease measures. Healthcare professionals were also impacted, with recent research demonstrating the psychological impact that the pandemic had on some of those working in palliative care during the pandemic. The services provided by palliative care services also shifted. Many patients opted to stay at home to receive end-of-life care or symptom management from their GP and community palliative homecare teams where possible. Palliative care services in the acute hospital setting were increasingly utilised to support teams to provide end-of-life care in a developing and challenging clinical environment. Communication technology was used to for multidisciplinary team meetings, to communicate with families and by community home care teams for some patient assessments. Our article outlines some of the major ways in which palliative care was impacted by the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic.

    Abstract Many factors contribute to students' academic success, and some, including first-generation (FG) college student status and academic preparation, are especially relevant in physiology programs. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine FG college students' perceptions of academic preparedness and intended success strategies with the goal of informing program-level strategies to support FG students in similar undergraduate physiology-related programs. FG freshmen completed short surveys and reflections at the start and end of the semester. Qualitative responses from written reflections were compiled, and content was analyzed. Students were high achievers in high school; 98% expected As and Bs in college, but only 53% had achieved this by the end of the first semester. At the start of the semester, FG students reported feeling prepared academically but were hoping to improve their academic readiness skills, and academic success plans focused on organizational strategies. At the end of the semester, some thought they were as prepared as they expected, but most found they were not as academically prepared for college as they had expected. Several minor themes were identified as areas to address with future cohorts. This study proposes several potential avenues by which to support FG freshmen's academic success in similar physiology programs, including early identification of at-risk students, setting realistic expectations, educating students early and often about evidence-based strategies, and developing academic recovery strategies as needed.

    Abstract: Study objectives: Low-sodium oxybate (LXB; calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates; Xywav) contains the same active moiety as high-sodium oxybates (sodium oxybate [SXB; Xyrem] and fixed-dose sodium oxybate [Lumryz]), with 92% less sodium, and ...

    Abstract Study objectives: Low-sodium oxybate (LXB; calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates; Xywav) contains the same active moiety as high-sodium oxybates (sodium oxybate [SXB; Xyrem] and fixed-dose sodium oxybate [Lumryz]), with 92% less sodium, and is approved in the US for treatment of cataplexy or excessive daytime sleepiness in patients 7 years of age and older with narcolepsy, and idiopathic hypersomnia in adults. Patients with narcolepsy have increased cardiovascular risk relative to people without narcolepsy. LXB's lower sodium content is recognized by the US FDA in the narcolepsy population as clinically meaningful in reducing cardiovascular morbidity compared with high-sodium oxybates. The Substitution of Equal Grams of Uninterrupted Xyrem to Xywav (SEGUE) study (NCT04794491) examined the transition experience of patients with narcolepsy switching from SXB to LXB.
    Methods: Eligible participants were aged 18 to 80 years with narcolepsy type 1 or 2 on a stable SXB dose/regimen. After 2 weeks, participants transitioned gram-per-gram to LXB for 6 weeks, with opportunity for subsequent titration. Assessments included the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIc), ease of switching medication scale (EOSMS), and forced preference questionnaire (FPQ).
    Results: The study enrolled 62 participants at baseline; 60 transitioned to LXB and 54 completed the study. At baseline and end of the LXB intervention/early discontinuation, respectively, mean total doses were 8.0 and 8.0 g/night; mean ESS scores were 9.4 and 8.8. Most participants reported improvement (45%) or no change (48%) in narcolepsy symptoms on the PGIc, reported the transition to LXB was "easy" (easy, extremely easy, not difficult at all; 93%) on the EOSMS, and preferred LXB compared with SXB (79%) on the FPQ, most commonly due to the lower sodium content.
    Conclusions: Most participants switched from SXB to LXB with minimal modifications of dose/regimen and reported the transition process was easy. Effectiveness of oxybate treatment was maintained on LXB, and most participants preferred LXB to SXB. No new safety or tolerability issues were identified.

  5. Article ; Online: Causal effects of later-eating rhythm on adiposity in children through the comparison of two cohorts in the UK and China: a cross-cohort study.

    Abstract: ... 03 to 0·22] kg/m: Interpretation: Both cohorts showed consistent results despite varied dietary ...

    Abstract Background: Later-eating rhythm (LER) refers to a later timing, greater energy intake, and higher meal frequency in the evening. The role of childhood LER in obesity development is emerging, but most evidence is cross-sectional. Cross-context comparison allows the improvement of causal inference in observational studies by comparing cohorts with different confounding structures. This method is applied to assess the causal effects of LER on adiposity, by exploring the likelihood of residual confounding due to socioeconomic status.
    Methods: In this cross-cohort analysis, we used ongoing birth cohort data from the UK Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) established in 1991, and the nationally representative China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) collected in 1989-2011. Children with available data at age 7 years were eligible. We applied indices of inequality for assessing confounding structure by regressing LER/adiposity on the standardised score of socioeconomic status (SES) in each cohort. We used multivariable linear and binary logistic regressions to model cross-sectional and prospective associations between LER at 7 years of age and body-mass index (BMI) at ages 7 and 9 years in both cohorts. Analyses were adjusted by age, sex, ethnicity, residency, and socioeconomic status. We used a p value for the Cochrane Q-test obtained from meta-analysis to test for heterogeneity between cohorts.
    Findings: We analysed data from 4019 children (2170 [54·0%] female; 1849 [46.0%] male) in ALSPAC and 1749 (788 [45·1%] female; 961 [54.9%] male) in CHNS. The associations between SES and LER or adiposity differed between ALSPAC and CHNS (SES and energy intake for evening main meal: b=1·81 [95% CI 0·81 to 2·81] vs -3·02 [-4·76 to -1·27]; SES and frequency of evening snacks: odds ratio [OR]=0·51 [95% CI 0·41-0·63] vs 5·71 [3·54-9·22]; SES and BMI: b=-0·42 [-0·65 to -0·18] vs 1·29 [0·75 to 1·84]). Positive associations between frequency of evening snacks and BMI were seen in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses in both cohorts (mean change of BMI with 1 day increase of consuming evening snacks b=0·09 [0·02 to 0·15]; 0·13 [0·03 to 0·22] kg/m
    Interpretation: Both cohorts showed consistent results despite varied dietary cultures and SES patterning of LER or adiposity. Energy intake in the evening or night was not associated with adiposity, whereas evening snacking was. More recent, high-quality cohorts are warranted to enhance the strength of the conclusions.
    Funding: None.

    Abstract Background: Social determinants are associated with survival from out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Because prompt delivery of bystander CPR (B-CPR) doubles survival and B-CPR rates are low, we sought to assess whether gender, socioeconomic status (SES), race, and ethnicity are associated with lower rates of B-CPR and CPR training.
    Methods: This scoping review was conducted as part of the continuous evidence evaluation process for the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care as part of the Resuscitation Education Science section. We searched PubMed and excluded citations that were abstracts only, letters or editorials, and pediatric studies.
    Results: We reviewed 762 manuscripts and identified 24 as relevant; 4 explored gender disparities; 12 explored SES; 11 explored race and ethnicity; and 3 had overlapping themes, all of which examined B-CPR or CPR training. Females were less likely to receive B-CPR than males in public locations. Observed gender disparities in B-CPR may be associated with individuals fearing accusations of inappropriate touching or injuring female victims. Studies demonstrated that low-SES neighborhoods were associated with lower rates of B-CPR and CPR training. In the US, predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods were associated with lower rates of B-CPR and CPR training. Language barriers were associated with lack of CPR training.
    Conclusion: Gender, SES, race, and ethnicity impact receiving B-CPR and obtaining CPR training. The impact of this is that these populations are less likely to receive B-CPR, which decreases their odds of surviving SCA. These health disparities must be addressed. Our work can inform future research, education, and public health initiatives to promote equity in B-CPR knowledge and provision. As an immediate next step, organizations that develop and deliver CPR curricula to potential bystanders should engage affected communities to determine how best to improve training and delivery of B-CPR.

    Abstract Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is commonly performed for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Poor satisfaction continues to be seen after TKA. Whilst reasons for poor patient satisfaction are multifactorial, there is a strong correlation with persistent pain following TKA. Studies have shown an association between local and remote mechanical hypersensitivity, measured using pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), and severity of knee osteoarthritis and functional status. We aimed to determine if the pre-operative PPTs were associated with patient satisfaction following TKA.
    Methods: A prospective longitudinal study of 77 individuals was undertaken. Regression modelling assessed the relationship between Patient Satisfaction using the Knee Society Score (satisfaction subscale) following TKA for KOA, and PPTs recorded pre-operatively locally and remote to the affected knee, while accounting for potentially confounding patient demographic and psychosocial factors.
    Results: Lower PPTs (indicating increased mechanical hypersensitivity) locally and remote to the operative knee were modestly associated with lower patient satisfaction in the short-term (six weeks) following TKA (β 0.25-0.28,
    Conclusion: While pre-operative PPT measures may provide some foresight to patient satisfaction post TKA in the short term, these measures appear to provide little insight to patient satisfaction in the intermediate and longer term.

    Abstract Objectives: Investigate associations between cleft laterality in patients with non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and oral-health, dental-arch, speech, audiological, psychological and nasolabial-aesthetic outcomes.
    Methods: Secondary data analysis of the outcomes of 5-year-old children with non-syndromic complete UCLP identified from three studies: Cleft Collective (n = 155), Cleft Care UK (CCUK) (n = 266) and Clinical Standards Advisory Group (CSAG) study (n = 238). Outcome measures included occlusal assessment using the 5-year-old's index score, speech intelligibility rating using the CAPS-A Audit tool, audiological assessment using pure tone audiometry, nasolabial aesthetic assessment using the Asher-McDade tool, oral-health assessment using decayed, missing, filled teeth scores and parent-reported outcomes. Logistic regression with adjustment for age, sex and index-of-multiple-deprivation scores were performed.
    Results: No differences were found in patient-reported outcomes between the left and right clefts in the Cleft Collective study. From the CCUK study, right clefts had poorer speech (n = 236; 95% CI 1.09, 3.42; and P = .03) and hearing outcomes (n = 211; 95% CI 1.03, 3.43; P = .04). In the CSAG study, patients with left clefts were more likely to be teased (n = 213; 95% CI 0.26, 0.85; and P = .01).
    Conclusion: Weak associations between cleft laterality, speech, hearing and psychological outcomes were found, however the findings were inconsistent across the studies. This study contributes to evidence of associations between laterality and outcomes in children born with UCLP.
