Abstract:

The desire to ambulate hospitalized patients is tempered by their risk of falling. Research articulates the health-related benefits of ambulation, yet routinely providing this intervention is challenging. This descriptive survey-design study obtained data from consented licensed and unlicensed direct-care providers, which assessed their knowledge, values, and perceived barriers associated with routine ambulation of patients receiving care in a hospital setting. Analyses of these data conclude that the subjects were knowledgeable about and value ambulating patients. The most frequently cited barrier to routine ambulation was an inadequate staff number, followed closely by an unexpected rise in volume and patient acuity. Interventions aimed at improving the ambulation of patients should include the results of this study.

Abstract:

PURPOSE: This study aimed to describe outcomes of motor function with a special focus on ambulation ability at 36 months among children with open prenatal repair of spina bifida aperta (SB). METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted including 87 patients with open prenatal repair of SB at the investigating center born between 2010 and 2018. Anatomic lesion level and motor function level in the neonatal period, as well as motor function level, ambulation status, and use of orthotics and assistive devices at 36 months were assessed. RESULTS: At 36 months, ambulation was assessed in 86 children; of those, 86% (n = 74) were ambulating. Independent of ambulation, orthotics were worn in 81.6% (71/87) and assistive devices in 47.1% (41/87). Children with a lower lumbar or sacral motor function level were the first to reach independent ambulation and were more likely to ambulate at 36 months than children with higher motor function levels (p = < .001). The anatomic lesion level determined on the neonatal MRI correlated with ambulation status at 36 months (p = < 0.001). CONCLUSION: At 36 months, most children with open prenatal repair for SB showed favourable ambulation status. However, most still used assistive devices or orthotics. Anatomic lesion level on neonatal MRI, motor function level during the neonatal period, and motor function level at 36 months were associated with ambulation status at 36 months.

Abstract:

Significant differences were observed in thigmotaxis, ambulation, and latency to move (time to start ambulating) between highly aggressive (TA) and low aggressive (TNA) male mice. The former displayed more thigmotaxis, ambulated more, and had a shorter latency to move than the TNA animals. Also they voided a greater number of urinary spots and defecated less than TNA. Further they were superior to the TNA mice in maze-learning capacity. The tendency to enter inner partitions of the field as well as total ambulation increased after learning by TA mice. The training toward nonaggressiveness of TA mice suppressed aggressive responses, thigmotaxis, and the number of urinary spots but enhanced defecation All measures returned to their initial levels after one month of rest. The attacking behaviour of TA animals increased both thigmotaxis and ambulation.

Abstract:

Context: Foot and ankle injuries are common and often require a nonweight-bearing period of immobilization for the involved leg. This nonweight-bearing period usually results in muscle atrophy for the involved leg. There is a dearth of objective data describing muscle activation for different ambulatory aids that are used during the aforementioned nonweight-bearing period. Objective: To compare activation amplitudes for 4 leg muscles during (1) able-bodied gait and (2) ambulation involving 3 different ambulatory aids that can be used during the acute phase of foot and ankle injury care. Design: Within-subject, repeated measures. Setting: University biomechanics laboratory. Participants: Sixteen able-bodied individuals (7 females and 9 males). Intervention: Each participant performed able-bodied gait and ambulation using 3 different ambulatory aids (traditional axillary crutches, knee scooter, and a novel lower-leg prosthesis). Main Outcome Measure: Muscle activation amplitude quantified via mean surface electromyography amplitude throughout the stance phase of ambulation. Results: Numerous statistical differences (P < .05) existed for muscle activation amplitude between the 4 observed muscles, 3 ambulatory aids, and able-bodied gait. For the involved leg, comparing the 3 ambulatory aids: (1) knee scooter ambulation resulted in the greatest vastus lateralis activation, (2) ambulation using the novel prosthesis and traditional crutches resulted in greater biceps femoris activation than knee scooter ambulation, and (3) ambulation using the novel prosthesis resulted in the greatest gastrocnemius activation (P < .05). Generally speaking, muscle activation amplitudes were most similar to able-bodied gait when subjects were ambulating using the knee scooter or novel prosthesis. Conclusions: Type of ambulatory aid influences muscle activation amplitude. Traditional axillary crutches appear to be less likely to mitigate muscle atrophy during the nonweighting, immobilization period that often follows foot or ankle injuries. Researchers and clinicians should consider these results when recommending ambulatory aids for foot or ankle injuries.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Our ambulation guideline following LE grafting is loosely defined as bedrest vs. lateral transfers only until POD#5. Patient’s mobility status is increased POD#5 with WB per physician discretion. A proposal was created to initiate mobility earlier than POD#5 for patients with LE grafts. Two of our three surgeons were in agreement with the early ambulation protocol. The third surgeon wished to follow the traditional ambulation practice guideline. This request was respected and made known to all staff for carryover. This afforded us the opportunity of a comparison group with our center’s traditional standard of care functioning as the control group. Methods The proposed early ambulation protocol was influenced by evidence-based practice guidelines as well as surgeon input. Criteria was based upon the location of grafting, graft crossing a joint, size of wound being grafted (&lt; or = 400 cm), and general medical status of the patient. Our early ambulation protocol was established as follows: POD#1 Lateral transfers with involved LE elevated. POD#2 Dependent LE at edge of bed, WBAT short distance ambulation to chair or bathroom with AD. POD#3–4 Increase ambulation as tolerated, assess need for continued splinting, appropriateness of progressive ambulation, AROM exercises. POD# 4–5 Progress ambulation with AD as needed, stairs as needed for discharge, home exercise program. Our inclusion criteria consisted of patients of any age, LE burns with STSG not involving joints/involving joints with appropriate immobilization. Exclusion criteria consisted of fractures of involved LE, patients who were non-ambulatory at baseline, wounds &gt;400 cm2, STSG to plantar aspect of foot, medically unstable patients, and surgeon discretion. Results Data reviewed over an eight month period of time yielded 27 patients who met our established criteria; 26 had no graft loss on the first dressing change. The patient with graft loss was attributed to graft placement directly over bone of the distal phalanx. Comparatively, no loss was noted in the control group with 10/10 patients ambulating on POD#5. Of note, early ambulation was granted for several patients with larger surface areas with no graft loss demonstrated, but were not included in this study. Conclusions In conclusion, 96% of patients demonstrated no graft loss with first dressing change following our early ambulation guideline. All patients who followed the traditional ambulation guideline demonstrated no graft loss on the first dressing change. Based on our findings, early mobility is not detrimental to graft integrity following specific established guidelines. Applicability of Research to Practice Our data supports early mobility of LE grafting up to 400 cm2 with 96% success rate. This may be supportive of further research with early mobility involving a larger surface area of LE STSG.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: As the role of the clinical exercise physiologist expands, early mobility is an area of potential focus. A rural Midwestern intensive care unit began a mobility program alongside its open-heart surgery program. The mobility specialist, who was trained as a clinical exercise physiologist, was tasked to ambulate the open-heart surgery patients. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of a mobility specialist on ambulation frequency and distance on post open-heart surgery patients. Methods: Data were collected retrospectively for 1 month on ambulation frequency and distance to determine the mobility specialist's impact on the variables. Results: Data was collected on 18 patients (15 male, 3 female) over the month. Overall, when the mobility specialist was present, patients ambulated further (M = 421 feet versus 189 feet, P = 0.039) and more often (M = 3.32 versus 1.43 ambulations per day, P &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: In this study, having a mobility specialist with a background in exercise physiology led to more frequent and distant ambulation. Therefore, a mobility specialist should be considered an integral member of a multidisciplinary clinical team in rural intensive care units.

Abstract:

Acupuncture has been widely incorporated into rehabilitation protocols for dogs and cats because of its potential analgesic efficacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential positive effect of integrating acupuncture and electroacupuncture techniques on the recovery of ambulation capacity in non-ambulating paraparetic patients undergoing physiotherapy in the postoperative period following mini-/hemilaminectomy for thoracolumbar spinal cord decompression due to acute disc extrusion. Forty-one patients were included and underwent descriptive and analytical statistical analysis, divided into two groups: dogs that received a physiotherapy protocol with acupuncture and dogs that received physiotherapy only. The results showed that the dogs in the acupuncture group had a higher likelihood of regaining ambulation.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of COVID-19 on care processes and ambulation outcomes. BACKGROUND COVID-19 forced hospital leaders to make systems-level changes that disrupted patient ambulation. The impact of these changes on the ambulation of hospitalized patients was unknown. The Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model was used to explore ambulation from a systems perspective. METHODS A single-case study research design was used to investigate patient ambulation in a major medical center. Data from 12 interviews with interdisciplinary leaders were analyzed. RESULTS Staff shortages and visitor restrictions were identified as the main work system barriers to ambulation. These barriers disrupted usual ambulation processes and supported the value of visitor assistance with ambulation. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a systems-level perspective of missed ambulation during COVID-19, which revealed the value of ambulation assistance provided by visitors. Findings may be used to support the continued and increased involvement of family members and visitors in the process of ambulation.

"Effects of Dominant and Nondominant Limb Immobilization on Muscle Activation and Physical Demand during Ambulation with Axillary Crutches." Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology 6, no. 1 (2021): 16. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/jfmk6010016.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of how limb dominance and joint immobilization alter markers of physical demand and muscle activation during ambulation with axillary crutches. In a crossover, counterbalanced study design, physically active females completed ambulation trials with three conditions: (1) bipedal walking (BW), (2) axillary crutch ambulation with their dominant limb (DOM), and (3) axillary crutch ambulation with their nondominant limb (NDOM). During the axillary crutch ambulation conditions, the non-weight-bearing knee joint was immobilized at a 30-degree flexion angle with a postoperative knee stabilizer. For each trial/condition, participants ambulated at 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 mph for five minutes at each speed. Heart rate (HR) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were monitored throughout. Surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to record muscle activation of the medial gastrocnemius (MG), soleus (SOL), and tibialis anterior (TA) unilaterally on the weight-bearing limb. Biceps brachii (BB) and triceps brachii (TB) sEMG were measured bilaterally. sEMG signals for each immobilization condition were normalized to corresponding values for BW.HR (p < 0.001) and RPE (p < 0.001) were significantly higher for both the DOM and NDOM conditions compared to BW but no differences existed between the DOM and NDOM conditions (p > 0.05). No differences in lower limb muscle activation were noted for any muscles between the DOM and NDOM conditions (p > 0.05). Regardless of condition, BB activation ipsilateral to the ambulating limb was significantly lower during 0.6 mph (p = 0.005) and 0.8 mph (p = 0.016) compared to the same speeds for BB on the contralateral side. Contralateral TB activation was significantly higher during 0.6 mph compared to 0.8 mph (p = 0.009) and 1.0 mph (p = 0.029) irrespective of condition. In conclusion, limb dominance appears to not alter lower limb muscle activation and walking intensity while using axillary crutches. However, upper limb muscle activation was asymmetrical during axillary crutch use and largely dependent on speed. These results suggest that functional asymmetry may exist in upper limbs but not lower limbs during assistive device supported ambulation.

Abstract:

Peripatetic by nature yet polymorphous in form, the topic of fan pilgrimage expresses a significant dearth in cult film and media scholarship. Whilst the concept of pilgrimage has been classically linked to religious duty and moral obligation, its ability to straddle both traditionalist and secularist rationales amidst increased globalisation makes such ambiguous mobility ripe for closer analysis. In this thesis, I will theorise fan pilgrimage using a series of itinerant fan taxonomies to recontextualise the role of the pilgrim and its function within select fan groups. Utilising the critical literature of Zygmunt Bauman, Victor Turner, and Roger C. Aden, respectively, Chapter 1 reevaluates ideas of community and reconfigures the spatiotemporal theories of performance articulated by Richard Schechner through fan pilgrimage and performative communitas. Chapter 2 explores how theories of play and everyday life create my first fan taxonomy: the ludic pilgrim. Via the play theory of Johan Huizinga and Roger Caillois as well as the theories of everyday life held by Erving Goffman, I argue for a correlation between play and costume through the case study of the otaku – i.e. fans of Japanese anime and manga. Chapter 3 employs fashion theory to subcultural style and reconsiders the value of the goth subculture and female vampire fandom by way of my second fan taxonomy: the subsartorial pilgrim. In Chapter 4, The Rocky Horror Picture Show serves as my main case study to theorise subcultural liveness during screenings of Rocky Horror and highlight my third fan taxonomy: the performative pilgrim. Examining the pilgrim as tourist through concepts such as fan tourism and flâneurism and by way of case studies such as Blade Runner, Disney theme parks, and The Lord of the Rings blockbuster trilogy, Chapter 5 unpacks my fourth fan taxonomy: the postmodern pilgrim. Finally, Chapter 6 recasts The Big Lebowski as a cult film that is primarily consumed by fans via Lebowski Fest. This chapter will elucidate how narrative, replay culture, and the documentary film The Achievers: The Story of the Lebowski Fans all reshape the meaning of Lebowski and spotlight its classification as an itinerantextual cult film.

Abstract:

Legged walking machines offer a number of advantages over conventional wheeled or tracked vehicles. They can reach terrain that is inaccessible to conventional vehicles, and they leave fewer traces of their crossing behind on terrain that has not been prepared for transportation. This thesis details the development of a heuristic package that can be used to determine the movement plan of a longitudinally oriented quadruped walking vehicle ambulating over rough terrain. An investigation of walking machine research to date revealed that such work had not been done for quadrupeds that adjust their attitude to follow the terrain. This terrain following strategy was employed in the development of these heuristics because it provides superior movement capabilities on sloped terrain. The heuristics were tested extensively on a variety of simulated terrain conditions. These conditions consisted of different combinations of underlying terrain attitudes and terrain roughness levels. The heuristics performed well during the simulations, and the simulated machine responded as the theoretical analysis had indicated. During the course of this work, a number of new ideas related to quadruped ambulation were developed. These included how to generate the overall movement plan of a quadruped walking machine, how foothold locations can be guided to best facilitate smooth machine turning, how the speed of a walking machine can be maintained at consistent levels, and how to prevent any possibility of leg collisions. In addition, in-depth analyses were made on how stride length affects quadruped machine speed, what conditions force such machines to halt their forward movement, and how a practical machine should be designed.<br>Applied Science, Faculty of<br>Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of<br>Graduate

Abstract:

During ambulation, lower-extremity joint angles and net moments influence knee joint load. It is unclear which mechanical variables most strongly correlate with acute articular cartilage (AC) catabolism in response to ambulation. Purpose: To determine which mechanical variables are most strongly correlated to acute AC catabolism, and to test the acute effect of ambulation speed on AC catabolism, while controlling for load frequency. Methods: 18 able-bodied subjects (9 male, 9 female; age = 23 ± 2 y; mass = 68.3 ± 9.6 kg; height = 1.70 ± 0.08 m) completed three separate ambulation sessions: slow (preferred walking speed), medium (+50% of walking speed), and fast (+100% of walking speed). For each session, subjects completed 4000 steps on an instrumented treadmill while ten high-speed cameras recorded synchronized video data. Various, discrete, three-dimensional joint kinematic and kinetic variables were averaged across 20 total stance phases (5 stance phases at 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 steps). Blood samples were collected pre-, post-, 30-min post-, and 60-min post-ambulation. Serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) concentration was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationships between serum COMP change and lower-extremity joint angles and moments. A mixed model ANCOVA was used to evaluate serum COMP concentration between sessions across time. Results: Peak ankle inversion, knee extension, knee abduction, hip flexion, hip extension, and hip abduction moment, and knee flexion angle at impact, explained 61.4% of the total variance in serum COMP change (p < 0.001), due to ambulation. COMP concentration increased 28%, 18%, and 5% immediately after ambulation for the running, jogging, and walking sessions, respectively. All sessions were significantly different immediately post-ambulation (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Certain lower-extremity joint mechanics are associated with acute AC catabolism, due to ambulation. Several key mechanical variables (e.g., peak knee extension, knee abduction, and hip abduction moments) explain much regarding the variance in serum COMP increase. These lower-extremity variables can be used to predict acute AC catabolism, allowing researchers and clinicians to better predict and/or understand AC catabolism. Additionally, when load frequency is controlled, increased ambulation speed acutely results in increased AC catabolism. Ambulation speed does not, however, influence serum COMP elevation duration. Joint mechanics and load frequency appear to be responsible for the magnitude of COMP increase, while duration of COMP elevation post-ambulation is dictated by load frequency.

Acute Pain Management after Total Knee Arthroplasty Abstract This thesis presents a body of work aimed at improving the acute pain management of patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 200 patients found that significant knee pain on movement 24 hours after surgery was reduced with single-injection (OR 0.30; 95% CI 0.12 to 0.74) or continuous (OR 0.21; 95% CI 0.08 to 0.51) femoral nerve block (FNB), compared with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) opioid. Also, FNB required less opioid compared to PCA. There were no significant differences in ‘timed up and go’ between the three analgesic groups at all time-points. There was also no significant between group differences in the six-minute walk distance knee flexion range of motion, day achieved independent walking and self-reported physical function. A Cochrane systematic review pooling RCTs evaluating FNB with non-FNB included 45 eligible RCTs (2710 patients). Meta-analyses demonstrated that FNB resulted in less pain at rest and on movement during the first 72 hours after surgery compared to PCA opioid. At 24 hours, pain at rest was SMD -0.72 (95% CI -0.93 to -0.51), while pain on movement was SMD -0.94 (95% CI -1.32 to -0.55). Additionally, FNB provided similar analgesia compared with epidural or local infiltration analgesia, and continuous FNB provided better analgesia than single-injection FNB. A patient survey conducted in Singapore (N = 105) and replicated in Australia (N=171) revealed suboptimal management of acute pain after hospital discharge. Many patients experienced moderate to severe pain and had misperceptions on analgesia. Marked differences in pain experience, behaviors and perceptions of analgesics also existed between the two cohorts. Overall, the thesis provided evidence to guide the choice of postoperative analgesia after TKA. It also highlighted potential areas for improving pain management following hospital discharge and the need for culturally appropriate pain management strategies.

Abstract:

Background. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are increasingly common and have important implications for maternal health, healthcare utilization, and health disparities. There is limited evidence to support best management of postpartum individuals with HDP, including home blood pressure (BP) monitoring (HBPM) and choice of antihypertensive agents. For patients experiencing preeclampsia with severe features, there is robust evidence supporting delivery of the infant and treatment with magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). However, MgSO4 may cause unpleasant side effects and, less commonly, toxicity. Patients receiving MgSO4 require additional monitoring (e.g., urinary catheterization) and often have activity restrictions, which impact their postpartum experience. Evidence regarding the optimal (lowest effective) dose and (shortest effective) duration of MgSO4 treatment is needed. Methods. We searched Medline®, Cochrane, Embase®, CINAHL®, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to December 1, 2022. After double screening, we extracted study data and risk of bias assessments into the Systematic Review Data Repository Plus (SRDR+; https://srdrplus.ahrq.gov). We evaluated the strength of evidence (SoE) using standard methods. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (registration number CRD42022313075). Results. We found 13 eligible studies (3 randomized controlled trials [RCTs], 2 nonrandomized comparative studies [NRCSs], 8 single-arm studies) evaluating postpartum HBPM, 17 RCTs evaluating pharmacological treatment of postpartum HDP, and 43 studies (41 RCTs and 2 NRCSs) that compared alternative MgSO4 regimens. HBPM programs probably increase submission of any BP measurements during recommended time intervals (moderate SoE) and may increase the number of BP measurements obtained overall (low SoE). Studies have not found that HBPM affects the rate of BP treatment initiation (low SoE), but HBPM may reduce unplanned hypertension-related hospital admissions (low SoE). Most patients were satisfied with management related to HBPM (low SoE), and HBPM probably compensates for racial disparities in office-based follow-up (moderate SoE). In patients with preeclampsia or gestational hypertension (HTN), oral furosemide may shorten the duration of postpartum hypertension (low SoE). There was insufficient evidence regarding the comparative benefits and harms of other antihypertensive medications. Compared with 24-hour treatments, shorter duration MgSO4 regimens shorten the urinary catheterization time (high SoE), time to ambulation (high SoE), and time to breastfeeding (moderate SoE); and may shorten time from delivery to contact with the infant and decrease toxicity as manifested by lost deep tendon reflexes (both low SoE). Loading dose only regimens increase the risk of a recurrent seizure in patients with eclampsia (moderate SoE). Lower dose MgSO4 regimens, compared to standard dose regimens, reduce early signs of magnesium toxicity (high SoE), may approximately double the risk of recurrent seizure in patients with eclampsia (low SoE), but may not affect 5-minute Apgar scores in infants of patients with preeclampsia with severe features (low SoE). There is insufficient evidence regarding potential harms of concomitant use of nifedipine or other antihypertensive medications. Conclusion. HBPM probably improves ascertainment of BP, allowing early recognition of hypertension in postpartum patients, and probably compensates for racial disparities in office based follow-up. The evidence suggests furosemide may shorten the duration of postpartum HTN. However, further evidence is needed regarding the comparative benefits and harms of the antihypertensive medications used to treat postpartum HTN. Large pragmatic trials, augmented by analysis of real-world data, are needed to evaluate the effect of postpartum HBPM on clinical event outcomes (not only process outcomes) and on the comparative effectiveness of alternative antihypertensive treatments. Given that lower dose MgSO4 regimens reduce Mg toxicity, and shorter regimens decrease urinary catheterization time, time to ambulation, time to breastfeeding, and time from delivery to contact with the infant, evidence is needed to identify MgSO4 regimens with the lowest effective dose and shortest effective duration that minimize side effects and toxicity but still prevent seizures among patients with preeclampsia with severe features.

Abstract:

Objectives. To summarize the evidence regarding diagnosis, prophylactic treatment, symptomatic treatment, and repeat surgery of tethered spinal cord. Data sources. We searched PubMed®, Embase®, CINAHL, Web of Science, SCOPUS, clinicaltrials.gov, ICTRP, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PROSPERO, ECRI repository, G-I-N, MagicApp, and ClinicalKey from inception to March 2024; reference-mined reviews; and contacted research authors. Review methods. The review followed a detailed protocol and was supported by a Technical Expert Panel. Systematic review software (DistillerSR) was utilized for all screening and data extraction tasks. Citation screening was facilitated by machine learning; two independent reviewers each screened full text citations for eligibility; one literature reviewer extracted data and a methodologist checked for accuracy. Risk of bias assessments focused on key sources of bias for diagnostic and intervention studies. We conducted strength of evidence (SoE) and applicability assessments for key outcomes. The protocol for the review has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023461296). Results. Searches identified 6,285 citations; 2,005 were obtained as full text. In total, 103 studies met inclusion criteria, with an additional 355 case series providing additional information. We found the strongest evidence for accuracy of MRI in diagnosing tethered spinal cord. Specifically, studies indicated this modality has medium to high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity (moderate SoE). A small number of existing studies suggested benefits of prophylactic surgery, but it was also associated with complications such as surgical site infection (low SoE). A larger body of evidence evaluated various treatments for symptomatic patients, with the majority focused on surgical detethering. Studies reported improvement of neurological status after surgical detethering (low SoE), but it was also associated with post-operative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage (moderate SoE). A very small body of evidence exists for revision detethering and spinal column shortening for repeat surgery (low or insufficient SoE for all outcomes). Across diagnosis, prophylactic treatment, symptomatic treatment, and repeat surgery there was insufficient evidence for multiple key outcomes (e.g., over- or undertreatment, clinical impact of diagnostic modalities, ambulation or quality of life outcomes) and thus no evidence statements could be derived. Conclusions. The evidence base for the diagnosis and treatment of tethered spinal cord is limited, with few exceptions (use of MRI or ultrasound for diagnosis, surgical detethering improving neurological status in symptomatic patients, complications associated with open detethering surgery) and would benefit from stronger study designs that include tool evaluations reporting diagnostic performance and treatment studies with concurrent comparator.
