Summary: This article identifies key research gaps and opportunities for scientists in various disciplines to contribute to the growing number of climate lawsuits worldwide. It focuses on research that can inform legal decisions regarding responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions and climate damages. The article highlights the need for further research in attribution science and cross-disciplinary research to address the causes of climate inaction and allocate responsibility for emissions reductions. The goal is to encourage researchers to engage in climate litigation and discussions on legal responsibility for climate change and emphasize the importance of timely and actionable scientific research in this domain.

Summary: Based on the available clinical evidence, osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) may be effective for musculoskeletal disorders. However, the evidence for pediatric conditions, primary headache, and IBS is limited and inconclusive. Further high-quality research is needed to confirm and expand the efficacy and safety of OMT.

Summary: This scoping review aimed to compare the researcher's perspective with the ICF core set for post-acute musculoskeletal conditions and identify additional ICF categories that deviate from the core set. The results showed that 84.2% of the ICF core set can be measured by the outcome measures analyzed. However, 68 additional ICF categories were identified that were not related to the core set, raising questions about the applicability of the core set in primary care physiotherapy units.

Summary: This study assessed and compared muscle activity, pain, intensity, and perceived exertion in people with chronic low back pain (CLBP) performing different aquatic exercises. The results showed that different aquatic exercises elicited different levels of muscle activity in various muscle groups, and most exercises had minimal impact on pain. These findings provide guidance for prescribing and implementing rehabilitative aquatic exercises.

Summary: Studying the ocean microbiome is crucial for ocean governance, addressing climate change and pollution, and achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals. Microbes play essential roles in marine ecology, participating in nutrient cycles, carbon dioxide removal, and supporting marine food webs. Technological advances have allowed for a better understanding of the taxonomic and functional diversity of the global ocean microbiome. Understanding and protecting the ocean microbiome can contribute to addressing environmental and societal challenges.

Summary: This study investigated the completeness, accuracy, quality, and clinical outcomes of the BOFAS registry - Ankle Arthrodesis pathway. The findings suggest potential effectiveness of surgery in reducing pain intensity, improving walking/standing ability, and social interaction. However, there were difficulties in obtaining representative data sets and the completeness of data collection was disappointing.

Summary: This study aims to understand individuals' beliefs and perceptions about the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to the development and maintenance of chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Qualitative research, using interpretative phenomenological analysis and semi-structured interviews, will be conducted to explore patient beliefs, the relationship between their biopsychosocial experiences and CMP, and the origins of their beliefs. The study findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at conferences.

Summary: This qualitative study aimed to understand the patient journey and experiences of Lumbar Spinal Fusion Surgery (LSFS). Through interviews and analysis of patient narratives, four main themes were identified: decision for surgery, coping strategies, barriers to recovery, and recovery after surgery. These themes are interrelated and influence the process of an individual patient's recovery.

Summary: This study explores a mentoring program for clinicians in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and identifies key factors that contribute to improved patient outcomes. The study finds that the mentor's knowledge, additional perspectives, critical analysis, and facilitatory style, as well as the mentee's motivation, openness to criticism, and commitment to reflection, are enabling factors in mentored clinical practice. However, potential threats to mentee development, such as overloading or contradictory feedback, lack of relationship with mentors, fear, defensiveness, routine working, people-pleasing, and lack of experience, were also identified. Overall, the study provides a model that demonstrates how these themes interact and offers guidance to optimize the effectiveness of mentored clinical practice.

Summary: Living with knee and hip osteoarthritis presents challenges in physical activity and sedentary behavior. A study found that individuals with OA value mobility and actively negotiate their activity levels and sedentary behavior in relation to the burden of the disease, their sense of well-being, and life circumstances. The findings highlight the importance of addressing personal values and concerns around safety and trade-offs when promoting a physically active lifestyle in this population.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility of an active behavioural physiotherapy intervention (ABPI) and procedures to prevent the transition to chronicity in patients with acute non-specific neck pain (ANSNP). The results showed that the ABPI demonstrated better improvement in symptoms and function compared to standard physiotherapy intervention (SPI), with fewer treatment sessions and lower management costs.

Summary: The objective of this study was to develop clinical prediction rules for lumbar spinal fusion surgery (LSFS) to identify patients with a favorable outcome. The results showed that pre-operative factors such as BMI, ODI, leg and back pain, and previous surgery are important considerations for surgery decision-making, while pre-operative leg and back pain and work status are important considerations for postoperative management decisions. These findings can inform clinical decision-making regarding LSFS and associated rehabilitation.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the content validity of Scoliosis Research Society-22 revised (SRS-22r) for assessing the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of adolescents with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In-depth semi-structured interviews revealed that the SRS-22r does not adequately capture important concepts related to the HRQOL of AIS patients. These findings support the need for revising the SRS-22r or developing a new patient-reported outcome measure to evaluate the HRQOL of adolescents with AIS.
