The primary objective of this study was to examine the day-to-day association between physical activity and pain intensity among a sample of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and the potential moderation of this association by negative cognitive processes. ⋯ Our findings suggest that increases in daily physical activity are associated with concurrent increases in KOA patients' levels of knee pain, particularly among patients reporting higher levels of pain catastrophizing. These results may have clinical implications for the design and testing of interventions targeted at reducing catastrophizing and increasing physical activity among patients with chronic osteoarthritis pain.

The goal of the study was to determine the potential impact of system inaccuracies and table attenuation on fluoroscope-reported dose values. ⋯ Including corrections for system output inaccuracies and acquisition factors such as table attenuation is necessary for any reliable assessment of radiation burden to patients associated with fluoroscopy-guided procedures.
