Igniting the Fire of Discovery: Creating Partnerships between Research, Education, and Practice
Phys Ther. 2024 Mar 27:pzae044. doi: 10.1093/ptj/pzae044. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the 28th H.P. Maley Lecture, Stacey Dusing, PT, PhD, FAPTA, shares a perspective on the importance of clinician-scientists in bridging the chasm that currently exists between scholarship and clinical practice. Describing herself as a clinician-scientist, or a qualified health care professional who functions mainly as a career scientist with the other portion of time dedicated to clinical practice, Dusing highlights the potential impact of limited training for clinician-scientists in the physical therapy profession and its impact on t...

Group-based exercise training programs for military members presenting musculoskeletal disorders - A pragmatic randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Group physical therapy programs were not inferior to usual physical therapy care for managing pain, functional capacity, and patients' satisfaction with care of military personnel presenting with various musculoskeletal disorders. Both interventions led to clinical and statistical improvement in pain and function in the mid and long term. Group physical therapy could be an effective strategy to enhance access to care..PMID:38530230 | DOI:10.2519/jospt.2024.12342 (Source: Health Physics)

Comparison of semi-automatic and manual segmentation methods for tumor delineation on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) positron emission tomography (PET) images
This study assessed the reliability of semi-automatic segmentation methods over manual segmentation for tumor delineation in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) PET images.

Approach: We employed manual and six semi-automatic segmentation methods (Just Enough Interaction (JEI), watershed, grow from seeds (GfS), flood filling (FF), 30% SUVmax and 40%SUVmax threshold) using 3D slicer software to extract 128 radiomic features from FDG-PET images of 100 HNSCC patients independently by three operators. We assessed the distributional properties of all features and considered 92 log-transformed features ...

Gender Differences in Physical Activity and Health-Related Authorships Between 1950 and 2019
CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of female researchers increased over time. However, regional differences exist and should be addressed in gender equity policies. There is a gap in the participation of female researchers as last authors. By actively addressing the gender gap in research, the global society can harness the full potential of all talented individuals, regardless of gender, leading to more inclusive and impactful scientific advancements.PMID:38531350 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0442 (Source: Health Physics)

Where Are Czech Adolescents Active? The Patterns of Movement and Transport Behavior in Different Active Living Domains
J Phys Act Health. 2024 Mar 26:1-9. doi: 10.1123/jpah.2023-0212. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo understand the environmental determinants of physical activity (PA), precise spatial localization is crucial. This cross-sectional study focuses on the spatiotemporal distribution of PA among Czech adolescents (n = 171) using Global Positioning System loggers and accelerometers. The results showed that adolescents spent most of their time in sedentary behavior, with 57.2% and 58.5% of monitored time at home and school, respectively. The park and playground had the lowest proportion of sedentary behavior but also the lowest amo...
