Project MOVE: A randomized controlled trial of Interventions for initiating and maintaining physical activity in depressed individuals
CONCLUSIONS: Supervised and home-based exercise, when combined with a cognitive-behavioral exercise intervention, is effective in increasing aerobic exercise in depressed adults in the short-term, although the impact diminishes post-intervention period.PMID:36967813 | PMC:PMC10032365 | DOI:10.1016/j.mhpa.2023.100508 (Source: Health Physics)

Competitive Displacement Restores the Hyperpolarized < sup > 15 < /sup > N NMR Signal in Blood Plasma
ACS Phys Chem Au. 2022 Dec 19;3(2):167-171. doi: 10.1021/acsphyschemau.2c00059. eCollection 2023 Mar 22.ABSTRACTHyperpolarized (HP) NMR can improve the sensitivity of conventional NMR experiments by several orders of magnitude, thereby making it feasible to detect the signal of low sensitivity nuclei such as 13C and 15N nuclei in vivo. Hyperpolarized substrates are usually administered by direct injection into the bloodstream, and interaction with serum albumin can cause rapid decay of the hyperpolarized signal due to the shortening of the spin-lattice (T1) relaxation time. Here we report that the 15N T1 of 15N labeled, pa...

Estimation of patient-size dependent imaging dose for stereoscopic/monoscopic real-time kV image guidance in lung and prostate SBRT
Conclusion: Patient-specific imaging dose was quantified for monoscopic/stereoscopic real-time kV image guidance in lung and prostate patients with respect to patient size. Additional skin dose was 1.98% (in lung patients) and 1.35% (in prostate patients) of the prescription which is within 5% recommended value by the AAPM Task Group 180. For internal OARs, larger patients received more dose in lung patients while the trend was the opposite for prostate patients. Patient size was an important factor to determine additional imaging dose.

COVID-19 Containment Measures-a Step Back for Walking Mobility? A 2-Year, 60-Country Analysis of the Apple Mobility Data
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, walking mobility was negatively associated with containment measures stringency; the relationship between stringency, mobility, and the subsequent impact on health outcomes may be nonlinear. These findings can help in balancing pandemic containment policies.PMID:36972703 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2022-0189 (Source: Health Physics)

Digital behaviour change interventions to increase vegetable intake in adults: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Few digital interventions identified in this review were effective for increasing vegetable intake. Embedding behaviour change theories and involving stakeholders in intervention design may increase the likelihood of success. The under-utilisation of comprehensive co-design methods presents an opportunity to ensure that personalisation approaches better meet the needs of target populations. Moreover, future digital interventions should address both behaviour change and food environment influences on vegetable intake.PMID:36973716 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-023-01439-9 (Source: Health Physics)

Modulation transfer function measurement of three-dimensional T < sub > 1 < /sub > -weighted turbo spin echo sequence with low refocusing flip angles using single-plate method
This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of modulation transfer function (MTF) measurements using the single-plate method to evaluate changes in resolution properties that are dependent on three parameters: echo train length (ETL), low refocusing flip angle (RFA), and start-up echo in three-dimensional T1-weighted turbo spin echoes (TSE) with a low RFA and to optimize these parameters. Although the MTFs were slightly degraded with an RFA of 120°, they were considerably degraded with an RFA of ≤ 90°. On the other hand, the MTF of low RFA was greatly improved by setting the start-up echo, allowing setting a long ET...

Characterising tibialis posterior tendinopathy using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: a cross sectional study
CONCLUSION: Individuals with TPT have large impairments in body structure and function, activity limitations and participation restrictions, particularly relating to independent living, mental health and pain. Personal factors appear to contribute to a lesser extent to the TPT presentation. Treatment plans should consider activity and participation limitations in addition to body structure and function.PMID:36966686 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2023.100498 (Source: Health Physics)

Barriers and Facilitators to the Adoption of Evidence-based Interventions for Adults within Occupational and Physical Therapy Practice Settings: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest a recent surge of scientific investment in understanding adoption determinants for evidence-based OT and PT interventions. Such knowledge can inform efforts aimed at improving OT and PT quality, thereby enhancing patient outcomes. However, our review highlighted gaps with significant implications for the delivery of evidence-based OT and PT within real-world practice settings.PMID:36966954 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.03.005 (Source: Health Physics)

Coping with chronic pain after traumatic brain injury: role of race/ethnicity and impact on participation outcomes in a tbi model systems sample
CONCLUSIONS: Black individuals who have TBI and chronic pain, and who have public insurance, may be vulnerable to difficulties managing pain. They are more likely to cope by catastrophizing, and catastrophizing is related to worse participation outcomes. The results suggest that access to care may impact response to chronic pain following TBI.PMID:36966956 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.03.003 (Source: Health Physics)
