Aim: To explore how nurses were represented in five Dutch newspapers between 2019 and 2022, with a focus on their visibility in policy and decision-making.

Background: The media significantly shape public understanding of healthcare. Despite their key role, nurses are often underrepresented in media, especially in policy-related coverage.

The posterior cruciate ligament-posterior femoral cortex angle (PCL-PCA): A precise indicator of knee decompensation in skeletally immature ACL-injured patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the most reliable and precise method for measuring the buckling phenomenon of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in skeletally immature patients on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)-line sign, PCL angle (PCLA), PCL inclination angle (PCLIA) and PCL-posterior cortex angle (PCL-PCA) were considered. Secondary aims were to (1) compare PCL buckling between healthy and ACL-injured patients to establish a discrimination threshold, (2) assess its validity against other MRI parameters.

Pantropical tree rings show small effects of drought on stem growth.

Increasing drought pressure under anthropogenic climate change may jeopardize the potential of tropical forests to capture carbon in woody biomass and act as a long-term carbon dioxide sink. To evaluate this risk, we assessed drought impacts in 483 tree-ring chronologies from across the tropics and found an overall modest stem growth decline (2.5% with a 95% confidence interval of 2.

The potential of machine learning in classifying relapse and non-relapse in children with clubfoot based on movement patterns.

The diverse nature and timing of a clubfoot relapse pose challenges for early detection. A relapsed clubfoot typically involves a combination of deformities affecting a child's movement pattern across multiple joint levels, formed by a complex kinematic chain. Machine learning algorithms have the capacity to analyse such complex nonlinear relationships, offering the potential to train a model that assesses whether a child has relapsed clubfoot based on their movement pattern.

Children with and without relapsed clubfoot show task-specific deviations in lower limb kinematics during several dynamic activities compared to typically developing children.

Background: The occurrence and the treatment of a relapsed clubfoot is a challenge in clubfoot care. Early recognition of relapse is important to minimize the invasiveness of treatment and its impact on foot functionality later in life. Gaining insight into a child's functional performance during various challenging activities will provide a comprehensive understanding of treatment outcomes which might result in crucial information for identifying relapse indicators.

Predicting long-term movement behavior patterns after stroke: Development of a clinical prediction rule.

Background: Within the first years post-discharge, movement behavior of people with a first-ever stroke often deteriorates, with inactive movement behavior increasing the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. Early identification of patients at risk of inactive movement behavior is essential for referring the right patients and tailoring movement-behavior change interventions, which could support secondary prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events.

Aims: This study aimed to develop and internally validate a clinical prediction rule to identify at hospital discharge people at risk of an inactive movement behavior pattern within the first 2 years following a stroke.

Promoting student voice by involving vocational education students and staff in citizenship education development: a participatory action research study.

Introduction: Despite decades of school improvement efforts, maintaining lasting change in schools remains challenging. So far, traditional interventions have been unsuccessful in recognising schools' unique and complex contexts, which is why a shift towards a more reciprocal, emergent, and contextualised approach is necessary.

Objective: Our aim is to develop citizenship education with students and staff in vocational education and training (VET), which increases student voice and fits the complex school system.

Breaking the Hydrogen Bond Barrier Reversibly: Toward Ultradrawable Polyamides.

In polyamides, hydrogen bonding and conformations of amide motifs are strongly influenced by pH, ions and their concentration, and water molecules and their structure. To fulfill the physical requirements for ultradrawing of polyamide 6, we first complete our fundamental insight into the role of water, ions, and polyamide 6 crystal structures on the concept of reversible shielding of hydrogen bonds. The reversible shielding depends on a complementary superchaotropic effect of anions and the kosmotropic effect of cations, locally affecting the structuring and interactions of water.

Sleep at home for older persons with dementia and their caregivers: a qualitative study of their experiences and challenges.

Most people with dementia (PwD) live with the support of their caregiver. Sleep issues are common among all types of dementia and increase the burden on the IC. Disturbed nights may lead to earlier admission to nursing homes.

Collaborating Across Organizational Boundaries to Develop, Evaluate, and Implement eHealth: Scoping Review.

Background: The success of eHealth relies on interorganizational collaboration (IOC) throughout the development, evaluation, and implementation phases of eHealth deployment. This IOC is complex, as it involves a diversity of organizations from different sectors, such as technological, academic, health care, and governmental organizations, collaborating to deploy eHealth. Between these organizations, organizational boundaries, defined as the demarcation of an organization from its environment, arise.

Expectations may influence treatment results, but research on this topic is scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to describe methods to assess pre-treatment expectations of patients with HOA or KOA with respect to exercise therapy.

Secondary prevention by striking the balance in 24-hour movement behaviour by empowering people at risk with a stroke: rationale and design of the RISE intervention randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Striking the balance in 24-hour movement behaviour (sedentary behaviour, physical activity and sleep) is expected to reduce the risk of a new major cardiovascular event or death (MACE). We aim to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the RISE () intervention by improving 24-hour movement behaviour for prevention of MACE and gaining quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in community-dwelling people at risk with a first-ever stroke.

Methods And Analysis: This assessor-blinded multicentre randomised controlled trial includes about 1000 participants with a first-ever stroke, of which 752 participants require secondary prevention based on their 24-hour movement behaviour.

Inflammatory factors released by ACL reconstruction tendon grafts and their potential for macrophage polarization.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture requires reconstruction (ACLR), often using tendon autografts, to restore joint stability. However, postoperative issues persist, especially in younger patients, with the primary cause still unclear. These issues are believed to result from a detrimental in vivo remodeling response, characterized by macrophage-involving inflammation that is driven by dead and dying graft resident cells.

Assessment and Correlates of Different Phenotypical Characteristics of Psychological Flexibility in Adapting to Chronic Pain: A Feasibility Study.

Objectives: This study examined the feasibility of a research protocol for assessing psychological flexibility in patients with chronic pain to gain insight into the uniqueness of different phenotypes of psychological flexibility and to tentatively test whether psychological flexibility is associated with effective adaptation to chronic pain.

Methods: In a cross-sectional study, in twenty patients with chronic pain, different phenotypes of psychological flexibility and a variety of positive and negative health indicators were assessed. Correlations were explored to determine the unicity of the different phenotypes of psychological flexibility and to test their associations with chronic pain.
