TL;DR: The aim of the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Guidelines (Guidelines) is to provide evidence‐based recommendations for the practice of pulmonary rehabilitation specific to Australian and New Zealand healthcare contexts.
Abstract: Background and objective
The aim of the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Guidelines (Guidelines) is to provide evidence-based recommendations for the practice of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) specific to Australian and New Zealand healthcare contexts.
Methods
The Guideline methodology adhered to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II criteria. Nine key questions were constructed in accordance with the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) format and reviewed by a COPD consumer group for appropriateness. Systematic reviews were undertaken for each question and recommendations made with the strength of each recommendation based on the GRADE (Gradings of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) criteria. The Guidelines were externally reviewed by a panel of experts.
Results
The Guideline panel recommended that patients with mild-to-severe COPD should undergo PR to improve quality of life and exercise capacity and to reduce hospital admissions; that PR could be offered in hospital gyms, community centres or at home and could be provided irrespective of the availability of a structured education programme; that PR should be offered to patients with bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension, with the latter in specialized centres. The Guideline panel was unable to make recommendations relating to PR programme length beyond 8 weeks, the optimal model for maintenance after PR, or the use of supplemental oxygen during exercise training. The strength of each recommendation and the quality of the evidence are presented in the summary.
Conclusion
The Australian and New Zealand Pulmonary Rehabilitation Guidelines present an evaluation of the evidence for nine PICO questions, with recommendations to provide guidance for clinicians and policymakers.

TL;DR: Electroencephalographic data under resting state, eyes closed conditions in patients with major depressive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder are compared to examine the specificity of brain laterality in these disorders to partially support the diagnostic applicability of the theoretical frameworks.

TL;DR: Five core components for quality delivery and outcomes of services were identified and are recommended and Clinicians should use these core components to guide effective service delivery and promote high quality evidence based care.
Abstract: Background Research on Australian cardiovascular disease secondary prevention and cardiac rehabilitation to guide practice needs updating to reflect current context of practice. It is timely therefore to review the core components that underpin effective services that deliver maximum benefits for participants. Methods The Australian Cardiovascular Health and Rehabilitation Association (ACRA) convened an inter-agency, multidisciplinary, nationally representative expert panel of Australia's leading cardiac rehabilitation clinicians, researchers and health advocates who reviewed the research evidence. Results Five core components for quality delivery and outcomes of services were identified and are recommended: 1) Equity and access to services, 2) Assessment and short-term monitoring, 3) Recovery and longer term maintenance, 4) Lifestyle/behavioural modification and medication adherence, and 5) Evaluation and quality improvement. Conclusions ACRA seeks to provide guidance on the latest evidence in cardiovascular disease secondary prevention and cardiac rehabilitation. Clinicians should use these core components to guide effective service delivery and promote high quality evidence based care. Directors of hospitals and health services should use these core components to aid decision-making about the development and maintenance of these services.

TL;DR: Inhibition of phenylethanolamine N -methyltransferase and monoamine oxidase results in the appearance of catecholamine fluorescence in the immunoreactive cell bodies suggesting that they usually store adrenaline which reacts poorly with the formaldehyde/glutaraldehyde mixture or other aldehydes which induce catecholinamines fluorescence.

TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate the proposed ACS with communication strategies are superior to the existing ant colony system (ACS) and ant system (AS) with similar or better running times.
