Effectiveness of a physiotherapist-led triage and treatment service on WAITing time for adults with musculoskeletal pain referred to Australian public hospital physiotherapy clinic... by Ian A Harris, Andrew Lawson, Bethan Richards, Chris G Maher, Laurent Billot, David Roberts, Chris Needs, David Anderson, Nadine E Foster, Danielle Coombs, Marnee McKay, Joshua R Zadro, Tarcisio F de Campos, Michael Swain, Daniel Treacy, Lisa A Harvey, Gustavo Machado, Jackie Chu, Christopher S Han, Andrew R Gamble, Timothy Shaw, Mark Halliday, Joshua M Hutton, Tom Lung, Lisa Gridley, Joshua Wakefield

“…Introduction Musculoskeletal pain is the second leading cause of disease burden in Australia, and there is a need to investigate new models of care to cope with the increasing demand for health services. This paper describes the protocol for a randomised controlled trial investigating whether a physiotherapist-led triage and treatment service is non-inferior for improving function at 6 months and superior for reducing treatment waiting times, compared with usual care for patients with musculoskeletal pain referred to public hospital outpatient physiotherapy clinics.Methods and analysis A total of 368 participants (184 per arm) will be recruited from six public hospitals located in metropolitan Sydney, Australia. …”

Adherent junctions: Physiology, role in hydrocephalus and potential therapeutic targets by Zhiye Chen, Jian He, Yating Guo, Yue Hao, Wentao Lv, Zexin Chen, Junqiang Wang, Yijian Yang, Kaiyue Wang, Zhikun Liu, Qian Ouyang, Zhangjie Su, Pingsheng Hu, Gelei Xiao

“…At present, the researches on the pathogenesis of hydrocephalus are mainly focused on the development of ependymal cells and cilia, while less attention has been paid to molecules such as AJs, which play an important role in maintaining the polarity of ependymal cells. This paper discusses the formation and function of AJs and their role in preventing hydrocephalus by preserving the polarity of ependymal cilia, regulating the number of ependymal cells, and upholding the brain barrier integrity to impede hydrocephalus exacerbation, which provides a new direction for the study of hydrocephalus.…”
