    Abstract Objective: This article explores the theory and utility of a syndemic approach for the study of disease in the past. Syndemic principles are examined alongside other theoretical developments within bioarchaeology. Two case studies are provided to illustrate the efficacy of this approach: Tuberculosis and vitamin D deficiency in 18th and 19th century England, and malaria and helminth infections in Early Medieval England.
    Materials: Public health studies of present syndemics, in addition to published bioarchaeological, clinical and social information relating to the chosen case studies.
    Methods: The data from these two historical examples are revisited within a syndemic framework to draw deeper conclusions about disease clustering and heterogeneity in the past.
    Results: A syndemic framework can be applied to past contexts using clinical studies of diseases in a modern context and relevant paleopathological, archaeological, and historical data.
    Conclusions: This approach provides a means for providing a deeper, contextualised understanding ancient diseases, and integrates well with extant theoretical tools in bioarchaeology SIGNIFICANCE: Syndemics provides scholars a deep-time perspective on diseases that still impact modern populations.
    Limitations: Many of the variables essential for a truly syndemic approach cannot be obtained from current archaeological, bioarchaeological, or historical methods.
    Suggestions for further research: More detailed and in-depth analysis of specific disease clusters within the past and the present, which draws on a comprehensive analysis of the social determinants of health.

    Abstract Background & aim: Echocardiography education involves the teaching and assessment of multiple competencies to ensure work-ready graduates. To connect these competency standards to professional practice, it is important that the industry expectation around specific entrustable professional activities (EPAs) is determined. In Australia, echocardiography examinations are eligible for Medicare reimbursement when performed by sonographers listed on the Australian Sonographers Accreditation Registry (ASAR), either as an Accredited Medical Sonographer or as an Accredited Student Sonographer. A key criterion for acceptance onto the registry is the completion of, or active enrolment in, an accredited cardiac sonography course. Eligible courses apply for accreditation and are assessed by ASAR against their Standards for Accreditation of Sonographer Courses. This study sought to investigate the existing cardiac EPAs and provide insights into the industry's expectations for graduate cardiac sonographers in Australia.
    Methods: Using an anonymous online survey tool, an invitation to participate was circulated via professional sonography groups and social media platforms. Accredited Medical Sonographers, Accredited Student Sonographers or interested stakeholders (academic, employer, medical specialist) working in Australia or New Zealand were invited to complete the survey. Survey questions were structured around the existing EPAs and knowledge items described in published sonography competency documents. Participants were asked if each individual EPA should be considered appropriate at the threshold of graduation, or at a higher level following a period of working in the profession.
    Results: There were 211 cardiac sonographers who completed the survey. The majority of respondents (148 of 211, 72.2%) indicated that the current EPAs should be updated. At 80% agreement, the following EPAs were considered essential for the graduate: left ventricular structure and function, right ventricular structure and function, atrial size, valvular disease, systemic hypertension, cardiomyopathies, diseases of the aorta, coronary artery disease, pulmonic hypertension, and basic congenital heart disease. This list is more extensive than the current ASAR-endorsed EPAs, and the findings in this research will guide the revision of current ASAR-endorsed EPAs for graduate-level cardiac sonography.
    Conclusions: The results of this study show Accredited Medical Sonographers completing a cardiac sonography course in Australia should be entrusted to perform a wide range of examinations however, greater alignment between educational providers, ASAR and industry is still required.

    Abstract Introduction: Linking individual competencies to entrustable professional tasks provides a holistic view of Sonography graduate work readiness. The Australian Sonographers Accreditation Registry (ASAR) publishes a set of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) as part of its Standards for Accreditation of Sonography Courses. EPAs are distinct ultrasound examinations grouped within six critical practice units. This study reports on industry perspectives of current EPAs and their classification for graduates completing general sonography courses in Australia. The article also examines the value of EPAs and links their function to the assessment of graduate competency.
    Methods: An online survey tool elicited stakeholder feedback on graduate EPAs across six critical practice units and the potential for including a new Paediatric unit. From an original sample size of 655, 309 responded to questions about general sonography courses.
    Results: A majority (55.3%) recommended no changes to the existing EPA list, and 44.7% recommended amending the list. From respondents that recommended changes (138/309), all current EPAs received >80% agreement to be retained; in addition, nine new examinations received >70% agreement for inclusion at the graduate level. Whilst 42.7% (132/309) supported the current ASAR model requiring competency in five out of six critical practice units, 45.6% (141/309) recommended increasing it to all six. There was limited support, 11.7% (36/309), to reduce this number. Responding to the potential to add a new Paediatric specific critical practice unit, 61.8% (181/293) recommended its inclusion.
    Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that the current list of EPAs aligns with industry expectations. In contrast, there are divergent views on the modelling and grouping of critical practice units. The article's critical analysis of the results and implications provides stakeholders with a practical approach to clinical teaching and EPA assessment, and helps to inform any review of accreditation standards.

    Abstract We present a patient with carbon monoxide poisoning with a single focal neurological deficit. The patient was found by emergency medical services (EMS) to be resting in his truck with a generator running nearby. On arrival, the patient was hemodynamically stable. The patient was aphasic but did not exhibit any other focal or lateralizing deficits. He was able to communicate by writing clearly and coherently on a sheet of paper. His initial carboxyhemoglobin was 29%, confirming the diagnosis of carbon monoxide poisoning. He was treated with 100% O

    Abstract We present a case of intussusception of a gastric remnant in a patient years after undergoing a Billroth II procedure that was treated with esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Although rare in adults, intussusception has been documented with increasing frequency in adult patients who have undergone Billroth II, mini-gastric bypass, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Timely management can decrease damage due to ischemia.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to understand the key factors experienced accredited exercise physiologists (AEPs) and medical professionals consider when prescribing/recommending aerobic exercise to patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
    Design: Modified Delphi Survey.
    Methods: A four-round, two-phase survey was conducted. Following a Delphi approach, four cancer-specific AEPs, four oncologists, and one breast cancer surgeon (median 13-yr breast-cancer-specific experience) completed phase one. Eighty-four AEPs (median 5-yr experience) completed phase two. Phase one participants answered open- and close-ended questions regarding key considerations for aerobic exercise in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy, and what information should be collected to guide exercise prescription. All questions and considerations agreed upon in phase one (>70 % rating 7-9 on a 0-9 Likert Scale) were rated by AEPs in phase two.
    Results: Key considerations for exercise assessment and prescription aligned closely with exercise guidelines for cancer survivors. Common strategies for exercise individualisation were identified by AEPs, including separating aerobic exercise into 5-to--9-minute bouts when required and avoiding exercising to complete exhaustion. Exercise intensity and duration should be adjusted throughout chemotherapy to improve tolerance and adherence. Novel considerations for subjective questioning and objective assessments to tailor exercise prescription were outlined.
    Conclusions: This study identifies how professionals approach exercise assessment and prescription in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Findings can guide AEPs in practice when prescribing tailored exercise to breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and inform future guidelines.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) who changed head presentation during an episode of physical therapy.
    Methods: Data were extracted from electronic medical records between January 2015 and December 2018 to describe infants with CMT who changed presentation.
    Results: Eighty-nine infants met criteria (predominantly male, non-Hispanic, White, with private insurance). Torticollis symptoms were noticed by 3 months in 90% of infants with a physical therapy examination before 6 months in 100% of infants. Most infants had early mild CMT with abnormal head shape and greater limitation in active cervical range of motion (ROM) than passive cervical ROM. Clinicians frequently recommended weekly physical therapy that included first- choice and supplemental interventions. Episodes of care averaged 7 visits over 64 days with 73% of infants meeting goals.
    Conclusion: Physical therapists should recognize that infants with CMT may change presentation but benefit from physical therapy to resolve symptoms.Digital Abstract available at: http://links.lww.com/PPT/A366.
