Physiotherapy Evidence Database Puns

Evidence based physio is primarily based in exercise prescription.

Is this how you treat patients?

Most patients don't like to be prescribed exercises.

For simple spasms etc, normally it can be treated with some simple hands on work.

But for significant postural compromise and long term well being, a little hands on work can ease the pain and free up their mobility initially, but correct muscular activation by way of insightful exercise work seems to be regarded as the most effective path to long term MSK well being.

Is this the base you work off, and if not, what is your base?

If you have any specific links to supporting articles/papers that assert the evidence behind your treatment approach, I'd be glad to click on/read them.

Newer-Generation Antidepressants and Suicide Risk in Randomized Controlled Trials: A Re-Analysis of the FDA Database

https://www.karger.com/Article/Fulltext/501215

Dear Editor,

Studies disagree whether antidepressants may trigger suicide attempts in adults with major depression. Some meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCT) found significantly elevated rates of (attempted) suicide in antidepressant arms relative to placebo [1, 2], whereas others did not [3, 4]. A recent study by Khan et al. [5] likewise found no statistically significant differences between antidepressants and placebo, but their study was based on patient exposure years (PEY). This approach has been questioned [6], since the vast majority of (attempted) suicides in RCT occur within the first 3–4 weeks of acute treatment [2]. Patients who do not tolerate the drugs are more likely to terminate trials early due to adverse events [7], for example because of extreme agitation/akathisia, which may trigger suicide attempts [8]. Population-wide, register-based observational studies confirmed that the suicide risk is highest during the first few weeks after treatment initiation and close to zero thereafter when there is no change in the dosage [9]. Statisticians stressed that PEY must not be applied when hazards (i.e., the risk of adverse events) are not constant over time [10]. Since the constant-hazard requirement for (attempted) suicide is violated in antidepressant trials, PEY may obscure a truly increased suicide risk related to the initiation of antidepressants. Therefore, FDA regulation requires that suicide events are analyzed based on the number of patients randomized to treatment arms, and this is the method the FDA applies in its own evaluations [3].

Recently was looking for raw footage of the big guy on youtube, but all I can find are 'Finding Bigfoot' and 'Bigfoot Stories Ep XX'. I want to see more footage like the Paul Freeman film, or The Fence Hopper.

I used to be able to find playlists with tons of footage, but now they must have changed their algorithm to promote partners or something.

M.K. Davis is a great resource, but I can only handle so many videos with him pointing a camera at a screen.

Is there a collection available somewhere else on the net?

Hey everyone!

I graduated from York U in 2020 with a BSc in Kinesiology. I am now studying MSc PT at University of Toronto. I also got accepted into Queen's and Western, but ultimately choose Toronto, and I don't regret it one bit!

I thought I'd give back to the York U community because I loved my experience there. That's a little about me, so feel free to ask anything!

PLEASE NOTE: Please do NOT send me a DM. I will NOT respond to them, as I want everyone to see every question and answer, so everyone can benefit from this experience. Thanks!

Let's hear it! :)
