Exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopy is mandatory. Physiotherapists in primary health care are required to use patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to manage patients with low back pain (LBP). Our aim was to explore and describe how physiotherapists in primary care managing patients with LBP, experience the use of PROMs with a focus on facilitating and hindering factors. We undertook a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews. Fifteen physiotherapists (9 female and 6 male) were included. Selleck UCL-TRO-1938 The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim and analysed by inductive manifest content analysis. Our findings resulted in eight main categories PROMs give structure and increase patient involvement; Patients' motivations to use PROMs; Time and the physiotherapist's clinical priorities; Physiotherapists' routines steer their use of PROMs; Physiotherapists' competences in using PROMs; Organizations and managers steer the use of PROMs; Prerequisites for future use of PROMs; Using PROMs develops the physiotherapy profession. Our findings shigitalization and increased competence, need to be fulfilled. Future studies should focus on increasing physiotherapists' knowledge about relevant PROMs, and study implementation in clinical practice, thereby improving the physiotherapy profession's quality of care.Females with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been long overlooked in neuroscience research, but emerging evidence suggests they show distinct phenotypic trajectories and age-related brain differences. Sex-related biological factors (e.g., hormones, genes) may play a role in ASD etiology and have been shown to influence neurodevelopmental trajectories. Thus, a lifespan approach is warranted to understand brain-based sex differences in ASD. This systematic review on MRI-based sex differences in ASD was conducted to elucidate variations across the lifespan and inform biomarker discovery of ASD in females We identified articles through two database searches. Fifty studies met criteria and underwent integrative review. We found that regions expressing replicable sex-by-diagnosis differences across studies overlapped with regions showing sex differences in neurotypical cohorts. Furthermore, studies investigating age-related brain differences across a broad age-span suggest distinct neurodevelopmental patterns isex hormones, and brain development in ASD remain largely unexamined. Amyloid β (Aβ) is thought to initiate a cascade of pathology culminating in Alzheimer's disease-related cognitive decline. Aβ accumulation in brain tissues may begin one to two decades prior to clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Prior studies have demonstrated that Aβ detected in vivo with positron emission tomography with amyloid ligands (amyloid-PET) predicts contemporaneously measured cognition and future cognitive trajectories. Prior studies have not evaluated the added value of Aβ measures in predicting future cognition when repeated past cognitive measures are available. We evaluated the extent to which amyloid-PET improves prediction of future cognitive changes over and above predictions based only on sociodemographics and past cognitive measures. We used data from participants in the University of California Davis Alzheimer's Disease Research cohort who were cognitively normal at baseline, participated in amyloid-PET imaging, and completed at least three cognitive assessments prior to amylve function. Similar results were obtained using a continuous measure of amyloid burden. In this cohort, the addition of amyloid burden slightly improved predictions of executive function compared to models based only on past cognitive assessments and sociodemographics. When repeated cognitive assessments are available, the additional utility of amyloid-PET in predicting future cognitive impairment may be limited. In this cohort, the ad
