So what are some good EU companies to order things from who will ship directly to Canada?
We need to support each other 🇨🇦

Hi 🇸🇪 , thanks for visiting us 🇨🇦!
Any physio researchers here?

What are the best research apps/AI especially for lit searches, citations, gaps etc ? I’ve looked at Re
Search Rabbit, SciSummary, Elicit, Cotal AI already

This is accurate and we’re seeing in all aspects of healthcare.

Biological markers and psychosocial factors predict chronic pain conditions - Nature Human Behaviour Fillingim et al. show that biological and psychosocial factors jointly predict conditions associated with chronic pain.

🔥 Most important paper I've read all year🔥
👉 Injury/disease doesn't reliably predict pain
👉 Biomarkers alone can't explain pain
👉 PSYCHOSOCIAL factors reliably determine chronic pain
👉 Painful conditions can be predicted from the SYNERGY btwn bio + psychosocial factors

Just passing along some friendly advice on how to approach potential changes to the Australian health care system @drruthmitchell.bsky.social

How can I help?

Alternatives are necessary and physios can help!

Does anyone have an infographic or other resource to give HCWs who are convinced it’s the vaccine and not infections for atypical MSK/long Covid symptoms? 😷💉

Let’s not forget there are A LOT of Canadian researchers wanting/looking for a research job. There are not enough positions or funding. Support CDN scholars.

You are correct. I got it this time, but it wasn’t there this morning

PubMed is back, phew

Oh my it’s true, PubMed is gone this morning

I really like the term AI teammate. Do you know anyone researching this use in the rehab space or across multidisciplinary teams?

The US has banned a lot of words for their NSF grants. “Female”, “women”, and “disability” are 3 examples I’ve seen. Science, especially health sciences, needs to be protected.

If there’s American healthcare professionals preferring to work here, there are openings everywhere…

officials need to stop reporting “they were old with underlying conditions” with Covid and H5N1. these people matter and deserve to live a safe healthy life. Second, most people likely have underlying conditions from multiple Covid infections or even asthma or HBP count.

Do any researchers use programs to help identify research gaps?

Great week talking future of CDN physio 🇨🇦!
Why did you join your association?

How do you save your X bookmarks away from X?

All great advice. I just wish it was easier for clients to find shoes of various drop in common/local sports or shoe stores. Most non-elite runners don’t want to order online and choices are slim.

For physios offering virtual care, is there any condition or treatment you find works best virtually (in demand and easy delivery)?
And does anyone have any special programs/tech they’ve used as treatment?

Medical advice I can follow 🍫

Masks work! In medical history, we adapt when knowledge and science evolve. Masks on HCWs should be a permanent feature.

What a great suggestion! I’m sure this picks up on otherwise subtle issues.

What is best for data analysis and graphing - excel with python or R? (Must be non-institutional access)
