Can language enhance physical therapists' willingness to follow Choosing Wisely recommendations? A best-worst scaling study

Interventions for improving adherence to airway clearance treatment and exercise in people with cystic fibrosis
CONCLUSIONS: We are uncertain whether a music-based motivational intervention may increase adherence to ACTs or affect the risk of hospitalisation for a respiratory infection. We are also uncertain whether an educational intervention increases adherence to exercise or reduces the frequency of respiratory infection-related hospital admission. However, these results are largely based on self-reported data and the impact of strategies to improve adherence to ACT and exercise in children and adolescents with stable CF remains inconclusive. Given that adherence to ACT and exercise therapy are fundamental to the clinical managem...

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome: A dangerous detour of intermediate syndrome with organophosphorus poisoning
We report a case series of three cases that were reported after ingestion of organophosphorus compounds and developed breathlessness later in the course of the hospital stay, which was diagnosed as Platypnea orthodeoxia syndrome resulting from organophosphorus poisoning. All three cases were treated with supportive management, incentive spirometry and respiratory physiotherapy and responded well to the treatment.PMID:36387738 | PMC:PMC9648318 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_2357_21

A systematic review of lung clearance index in non-cystic fibrosis, non-primary ciliary dyskinesia bronchiectasis
CONCLUSION: Contrary to data in CF, the review did not identify good quality studies defining the role of LCI in children with bronchiectasis. In adults, LCI was a sensitive measure of disease severity and correlated with clinical assessment tools.PMID:35926429 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmed.2022.106937

Preparing for thoraco-abdominal surgery: What's in it for the physiotherapist?
CONCLUSIONS: The physiotherapist must fully participate in assessing the risk of postoperative morbidity in the context of thoraco-abdominal surgery. He must also identify the most efficient modalities within the delay imposed by the date of surgery. It is also necessary that the latter learn to identify the patient at higher risk of postoperative complications in order to adapt the preoperative management according to the levels of scientific evidence.PMID:35428557 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmr.2022.02.057
