Developing the ability to formulate precise, structured, and answerable clinical questions has been identified as one of the key tasks for clinicians using the strategies of evidence-based practice in their clinical work.1 The question needs to be: Directly relevant to the identified problem ...
One avenue of potential use of the PF representation is in clinical research. The PF showed improved prediction of depression and well-being; moreover, the PF substantially outperformed the FFM in the prediction of two known resilience factors (intelligence and empathy). Specifically, PF Dimension ...
This study aimed to evaluate, in a randomized clinical trial, the effect of a text message–based intervention to encourage lifestyle change on objective measures of cardiovascular risk in individuals with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Study Design The Tobacco, Exercise and Diet Messages (...
For example, De Shazer asks clients to observe what happens in their lives that they want to continue. DeShazer and colleagues also employ the “miracle question": “Suppose one night, while you were asleep there was a miracle and this problem was solved. How would you know? What would ...

A higher number of words could indicate that more aspects and arguments were mention...
question asked participants to use an image of the RRT to compare the risk of hospitalization if infected with COVID-19 to the chance of a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine. Finally, we asked participants a question based on an image showing the risk of being hospitalized if infected ...
Despite many years of clinical use of ultrasound, the results of different reviews of controlled trials on the efficacy of ultrasound physical therapy for different musculoskeletal injuries continue to question its efficacy. However, “in vitro” experiments with well-controlled cell cultures and experime...
However, the generalizability of active surveillance across the prostate cancer population was brought into question. “We don’t want to find patients for active surveillance; we want to find patients who need to be treated,” another panelist challenged. “[We have been] biopsying patients w...
These issues can be of high importance and therefore essential in the pre-clinical evaluation of the technique in NHP. Therefore, the aims of this study were to determine (1) how the cavitation activity correlated with the BBB opening volume, the amount of model drug (gadolinium) delivered ...
However, the question remains: Is the fACT model operating as efficiently as possible within the New Zealand primary care context, and could the scalability and effectiveness of this model be improved through the development of a contextually sensitive adjunctive digital tool designed around the needs...
