چکیده
Shoulder pain is one of the most common of all peripheral joint disorders with the point incidence amongst the general population said to be as high as 20% (Pope et al 1997). Often the cause of non-traumatic shoulder pain is thought to be inflammation of the structures around the shoulder due to poor biomechanics with subsequent impingement and inflammation of the affected structures (Bang and Deyle 2000). The most frequent diagnoses for patients with shoulder pain include tendinitis/bursitis, osteoarthritis and cuff tears (Solomon et al 2001). Diagnoses for these patients, however, are not always clear, with some studies reporting significant levels of disagreement between specialists examining the same patient with shoulder pain (Bamji et al 1996, Naredo et al 2002). Authors have hypothesised various mechanisms for the poor biomechanics around the shoulder, including insufficient strength of the rotator cuff, poor motor control of the rotator cuff, poor scapulohumeral rhythm and suboptimal thoracic/shoulder girdle posture (Host 1995, Smith et al 2002).

Patients and practitioners have been found to have differing views of health and to monitor progress in rehabilitation in different ways (Malzer 1988, St Claire et al 1996). Thus the importance of patient-centred care has been recognised in physiotherapy (Grant 1994, Potter et al 2003b) along with general medicine, nursing and other allied health professions (Brown et al 1986, Fulford et al 199...

The development and implementation of evidence-based guidelines appears to be one of the most promising and effective tools for improving quality of care (Grol 2001). To improve the quality of physiotherapeutic care for patients with low back pain, evidence-based clinical practice physiotherapy guidelines were developed (Bekkering et al 2003; Table 1). The content of these guidelines connects w...

It has been well established that pulmonary function decreases following open heart surgery (Taggart et al 1993, van Belle et al 1992, Vargas et al 1992). General anaesthesia has been shown to reduce functional residual capacity (FRC) by approximately 20%, cardiopulmonary bypass impairs gas exchange, and cardiac surgery patients with mammary arteries harvested have been shown to have a higher r...
متن کاملDifferential analysis of mutations in the Jewish population and their implications for diseases.
Sequencing large cohorts of ethnically homogeneous individuals yields genetic insights with implications for the entire population rather than a single individual. In order to evaluate the genetic basis of certain diseases encountered at high frequency in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (AJP), as well as to improve variant annotation among the AJP, we examined the entire exome, focusing on spec...
