Medical Practioners' Knowledge And Self-Reported Practices Of Substitute Decision Making And Implementation Of Advance Care Plans, C Cartwright, J Montgomery, Jerome Rhee, Ning Zwar, A Banbury

Background Advance care planning (ACP) provides patients with the ability to make their decisions known about how they would like to be treated if they lose capacity. Medical practitioners have a key role to play in providing information on ACP to their patients. This research explores their knowledge and attitudes to advance care planning and how this affects their practice. Aim The objective of this study is to assess the NSW medical practitioners' knowledge and self-reported practice of ACP. Methods A postal survey of a random sample of 650 general practitioners plus 350 medical specialists from specialties most often involved …

Test-Retest Reliability Of The Soleus H-Reflex Is Affected By Joint Positions And Force Levels, Yungsheng Chen, Shi Zhou, Colleen Cartwright, Zachary Crowley, Robert Baglin, Fang Wang

The H-reflex has been extensively used to exam the spinal motoneuron excitability. However, no report has demonstrated the test-retest reliability of the H-reflex assessment during voluntary muscle contractions and its relation to joint positions. The purpose of this study was to determine the test-retest reliability of the soleus (SOL) H-reflex during rest and 10, 30, 50% maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) at the ankle joint angles of neutral (0deg), plantarflexion (20deg), and dorsiflexion (-20deg), respectively in a sitting position. Ten healthy participants (age 24.9 ± 5 years, height 168.3±8.8 cm, weight 62.7±12.3 kg) were tested for the SOL H-reflex on two …

The domains of performance identified by participants as required of …
The Legal Role Of Medical Professionals In Decisions To Withhold Or Withdraw Life-Sustaining Treatment: Part 2 (Queensland), L Willmott, B White, M Parker, Colleen Cartwright
The Legal Role Of Medical Professionals In Decisions To Withhold Or Withdraw Life-Sustaining Treatment: Part 2 (Queensland), L Willmott, B White, M Parker, Colleen Cartwright
Professor Colleen M Cartwright
This is the second article in a series of three that examines the legal role of medical professionals in decisions to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment from adults who lack capacity. This article considers the position in Queensland, including the parens patriae jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. A review of the law in this State reveals that medical professionals play significant legal roles in these decisions. However, the law is problematic in a number of respects and this is likely to impede medical professionals' legal knowledge in this area. The article examines the level of training medical professionals receive on …

Test–Retest Reliability Of The Soleus H-Reflex Is Affected By Joint Positions And Muscle Force Levels, Yungsheng Chen, Shi Zhou, Colleen Cartwright, Zachary Crowley, Robert Baglin, Fang Wang
Professor Colleen M Cartwright
The purpose of this study was to determine the test-retest reliability of the soleus (SOL) H-reflex during rest and isometric contractions at 10%, 30%, and 50% of the maximal voluntary force (MVC) at the ankle joint angles of neutral (0°), plantarflexion (20°), and dorsiflexion (-20°) respectively, in a sitting position. Ten healthy participants, with mean age of 24.9 ± 5.0 (SD) years, height 168.3 ± 8.8 cm, weight 62.7 ± 12.3 kg, were tested for the SOL H-reflex (Hmax) on two separate occasions within 7 days. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for the test–retest of the SOL H-reflex during rest …
