Assessing the cumulative effect of long-term training load on the risk of injury in team sports

Objectives Determine how to assess the cumulative effect of training load on the risk of injury or health problems in team sports. Methods First, we performed a simulation based on a Norwegian Premier League male football dataset (n players=36). Training load was sampled from daily session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE). Different scenarios of the effect of sRPE on injury risk and the effect of relative sRPE on injury risk were simulated. These scenarios assumed that the probability of injury was the result of training load exposures over the previous 4 weeks. We compared seven different methods of modelling training load in their ability to model the simulated relationship. We then used the most accurate method, the distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM), to analyse data from Norwegian youth elite handball players (no. of players=205, no. of health problems=471) to illustrate how assessing the cumulative effect of training load can be done in practice. Results DLNM was the only method that accurately modelled the simulated relationships between training load and injury risk. In the handball example, DLNM could show the cumulative effect of training load and how much training load affected health problem risk depending on the distance in time since the training load exposure. Conclusion DLNM can be used to assess the cumulative effect of training load on injury risk.
Nonlinear State Estimation and Control of Autonomous Aerial Robots: Designand Experimental Validation of Smartphone Based Quadrotor

This work presents developments of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) systems with application to autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Precisely, this work shows the development of navigation system based on nonlinear complementary filters for position, velocity and attitude estimation using low-cost sensors. The proposed filtering method provides attitude estimates in quaternion representations and position and velocity estimates by fusing measurements from Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), GPS, and a barometer. Least Square Method (LSM) was used in gains tuning to find the best-fitting of the estimated states with precise measurements obtained by a vision based motion capture system. A complete navigation system was produced by integrating both the attitude and the position filters. The integration of the filtering approach based primarily on the ease of design and computational load. Furthermore, the structure of the filtering design allow for straightforward implementation without a need of high performance signal processing. Moreover, the filters can be tuned totally independent of each other. This work also introduces a nonlinear flight controller for stability and trajectory tracking that is practical for real-time implementation. This controller is also demonstrated the ability of a supervisory controller to provide effective waypoint navigation capabilities in autonomous UAV. The implementation of the guidance, navigation, and control algorithms were adopted in the design of a novel smartphone based autopilot for particular quadrotor aerial platforms. The performances of the proposed work are then evaluated by means of several flight tests. The work also includes a design of advanced navigation and guidance systems based on Robot Operating System (ROS) for Search And Rescue (SAR) missions. Primarily, the performance of the navigation and guidance systems were tested in laboratory by simulating GPS measurements in Linux computer mounted on the top of a quadrotor. This activity facilitates moving by the experiments from indoor to outdoor.
Management of anterior tooth trauma: Two case reports

Various treatment options may be employed for coronal fracture of anterior teeth and root, depending on the level of fracture. The following case reports highlight the anterior tooth trauma managed with reattachment of fractured segments using post and cores. In the first case, an easy and ultraconservative technique without any tooth preparation is used which involves intraradicular support, i.e., fiber post and core. In the second case, an interdisciplinary approach is used to treat the root fracture where biological width was encroached. The flap was raised to expose the fractured root with a small amount of osteoplasty so that the segments could be checked for exact fit and bonding can be done with proper isolation of the operating field. Successful esthetics and function were restored by conservative and economical means, and 6 months follow-up showed no failure of bonding or postoperative pain, indicating crown, and horizontal root fracture after trauma should not go for extraction.
Buckling and free vibration analysis of laminated composite plates using an efficient and simple higher order shear deformation theory

In this paper, the buckling and free vibration analysis of laminated composite plates using an efficient and simple higher order shear deformation theory are examined by using a refined shear deformation theory. This theory is based on the assumption that the transverse displacements consist of bending and shear components where the bending components do not contribute to shear forces, and likewise, the shear components do not contribute to bending moments. The most interesting feature of this theory is that it allows for parabolic distributions of transverse shear stresses across the plate thickness and satisfies the conditions of zero shear stresses at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factors. The number of independent unknowns in the present theory is four, as against five in other shear deformation theories. In this analysis, the equations of motion for simply supported thick laminated rectangular plates are derived and obtained through the use of Hamilton’s principle. The closed-form solutions of anti-symmetric cross-ply and angle- ply laminates are obtained using Navier solution. Numerical results of the present study are compared with three-dimensional elasticity solutions and results of the first-order and the other higher-order theories reported in the literature. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and simple in solving the buckling and free vibration behaviors of laminated composite plates.
Authors’ response: Re: Reifferscheid et al., “COVID-19 vaccine uptake and intention during pregnancy in Canada”

Dear Editor: We thank Sookaromdee and Wiwanitkit (2022) for their letter to the Editor, and agree with the authors’ point that the influences on vaccine hesitancy and vaccine decisionmaking during pregnancy are multifaceted. However, we disagree with the emphasis they place on sociodemographic factors. Our finding of vaccine safety concerns as a primary driver of vaccine acceptance/hesitancy among pregnant people is well supported by the literature, as cited in our paper (Reifferscheid et al., 2022). Conversely, sociodemographic factors have not been found to be universally significant determinants of vaccine decisions (Nikpour et al., 2022), but are instead indicators of the context in which vaccine decisions are made. Even in settings where sociodemographic factors are significant, information on the risks and benefits of vaccination, tailored to the literacy and numeracy skills of pregnant individuals, is still required (Skirrow et al., 2022). We also think it is important to note that the vaccine decision-making process during pregnancy is unique, because the vaccine impacts both the pregnant individual and their unborn infant. Therefore, studies of the general population, such as those cited by Sookaromdee and Wiwanitkit (Khan et al., 2022; Xiao et al., 2022), should not be considered representative of the pregnant population. Sookaromdee and Wiwanitkit also note that our study was conducted at one specific point in time and that no firm conclusions should be made from an individual study. These are observations that we do not dispute. Rather than advocating for a static approach, the goal of our paper was to emphasize the importance of continuing to explore potential strategies to support pregnant people and their healthcare providers in vaccine decision-making.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ELEMENTS OF ATTACK AND DEFENCE IN MEN'S AND WOMEN'S GAMES IN THE ESTONIAN VOLLEYBALL HIGHEST LEAGUE

The aim of this study was to analyse the differences between men’s and women’s teams of the Estonian highest league in attack, serve, block, defence and serve reception. The sample consisted of 5 men’s and 5 women’s teams of the Estonian volleyball highest league in the 2014/2015 season. To collect data, two game videos of each team were watched; from them tempo of attack, type of attack, block and serve, and the results of defence and cover were registered. In addition, statistics created by the Data Volley and Volleysoft 6–3 programs on the basis of expert assessments were used to estimate the efficiency of volleyball elements and results of reception. SPSS Statistics 23 version for Windows was used to construct frequency tables and multinomial logistic regression analysis was applied to find the probable frequencies of the activities analysed. The results revealed that in Estonian men’s highest league games quick tempo 1 attacks were used statistically significantly more often than in women’s games. Men were more proficient at attack and used a vigorous spike more often than women. For both genders, double block was the most often used block type. Broken double block was more common to men than to women. The serve type most often used by men was the power jump serve, followed by the tactical float serve. Women most often used the standing serve and, as second, the jump float serve. Men made more serve errors than women did. The percentage of ace serves was also higher in women than in men. In defence, the percentage of the ball remaining in play was higher in women than in men, and women’s defence cover was more efficient than men’s. As a result of attack cover, the ball remained in play nearly by half more frequently in women’s than in men’s games. Nonetheless, women scored fewer points as a result of attack cover. Serve reception in the Estonian highest league was better in men, and men made statistically significantly fewer errors in reception than women did.
10 PET for Therapy Response Assessment in Glioblastoma

: Glioblastoma (GB) is the most malignant and the most common type of glioma in adults, accounting for 60–70% of all malignant gliomas. Despite the current therapy, the clinical course of GB is usually rapid, with a mean survival time of approximately 1 year. For therapy response assessment in GB, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice. In 2010, the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) was introduced, including the tumor size (in 2D) as measured on T2-weighted and Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR)-weighted images, in addition to the contrast-enhancing tumor part. Although the RANO criteria addressed some of the limitations of the previous MacDonald criteria for therapy evaluation in high-grade glioma, treatment-related side effects hamper correct response assessment. To address discontinuation of therapy to prevent ineffective treatment or adverse events of treatment. In this chapter, an overview of applicable PET tracers for the therapy response assessment in GB and the determination of tumor recurrence versus treatment-related effects is given.
Parental leave and beyond: some reflections on 30 years of international networking / EL Futuro de los Permisos Parentales: Reflexiones a Partir de 30 Años de Coordinación de Una Red Internacional de Expertos

The article starts by introducing the international network on leave policies and research. Based on the author’s experience of coordinating and working with this network, including the production of an annual review that now includes 40 countries, the remainder of the article considers some current issues in leave policy and some future possible directions for policy and research. The issues include the place of leave in wider ‘reconciliation’ and ‘equality’ policies; the design of leave policies; the inadequate state of statistics on leave policies; and the voice of the child in formulating leave policies. While there are many possible directions for future development, this article discusses moving from the current narrow focus on early parenthood to a broader lifecourse model.
Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome is prevalent in sportsmen and can end sporting careers. The Acromio-Humeral distance (AHD) is a measure taken with ultrasound (US) and used to quantify the space in which structures in the shoulder become impinged. This space is normally reduced as the arm elevates. Factors identified in the literature that could further reduce this space, are explored in this thesis. Correlation analysis between factors (Scapula rotation in the coronal plane, Pectoralis Minor length, Thoracic kyphosis, Glenohumeral rotation and load) with the AHD was done to confirm or refute some of these associations. To accomplish the research: a) reliability of tools and stability of the measure was established; b) data was collected in elite sportsmen and controls to verify variance in the independent variables; c) correlation analysis between independent variables and the AHD was carried out to determine association. In summary, the results of this thesis demonstrated that factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance are multifactorial, including Pectoralis Minor length, Glenohumeral rotation ranges, and load. The strength of the association between variables is population dependant. Scapula rotation in the coronal plane, and Thoracic kyphosis were not found to influence the AHD when modified in isolation.
Clinical Screening for Posterior Cortical Atrophy

Background: Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a progressive neurologic syndrome that presents with complex visual deficits. Although PCA is most commonly a form of Alzheimer disease (AD), its early diagnosis is usually delayed due to a lack of understanding for how best to clinically screen for the syndrome. Objective: To identify neurobehavioral screening tasks for PCA—beyond simple visual constructions—that can be administered in clinic or at bedside. Method: We compared the performance of 12 individuals who met neuroimaging-supported consensus criteria for PCA with that of 12 matched individuals with typical AD (tAD) and 24 healthy controls (HC) on clinic/bedside tasks measuring (a) complex figure copying, (b) Balint syndrome, (c) visual object agnosia, (d) color identification, (e) figure–ground discrimination, (f) global–local processing, (g) dressing apraxia, (h) ideomotor apraxia, and (i) Gerstmann syndrome. Results: All of the individuals with PCA were impaired on the figure–ground discrimination task compared with half of the tAD group and no HC. Approximately half of the PCA group had Balint syndrome, dressing apraxia, and ideomotor apraxia compared with none in the tAD group. Difficulty copying a complex figure, global–local processing impairment, and Gerstmann syndrome did not distinguish between the two dementia groups. Conclusion: The figure–ground discrimination task can be used successfully as an overall screening measure for PCA, followed by specific tasks for Balint syndrome and dressing and limb apraxia. Findings reinforce PCA as a predominant occipitoparietal disorder with dorsal visual stream involvement and parietal signs with spatiomotor impairments.
Lack of Correlation Interleukin 1 Levels between Interleukin 6 in Psoriatic Lesional and Skin

TAKEMATSU, H. and TAGAMI, H. Lack of Correlation between Interleukin 6 and Interleukin 1 Levels in Psoriatic Lesional Skin. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1994, 172 (3), 243-252 The histopathologic features of active Psoriatic plaques are characterized by epidermal hyperplasia and the presence of inflammatory cells. Recently it has been strongly suggested that an increased local production of cytokines and growth factors by keratinocytes or by activated inflammatory infiltrates play an crucial role in the induction of these changes. Particularly keratinocytes are demonstrated to secrete several different immuno-inflammatory mediators, including interleukin 1(IL-1), IL-6 and IL-8. IL-1 induces IL-6 production in vitro, which in turn stimulates the proliferation of human keratinocytes. Although IL-1 has been reported to be reduced in samples from psoriatic lesions, enhanced immunohistochemical expression of IL-6 has been shown in psoriatic lesional skin. Thus, we designed the present study to elucidate the paradoxical situation of IL-1 and IL-6 expression in psoriatic skin lesions by directly measuring these cytokines in tissue fluids collected from suction blisters as well as in horny tissue extracts. As reported before, the levels of immunoreactive IL-1-a or -lf tended to be reduced in the scale extracts of psoriasis and related pustular dermatoses. In contrast, the levels of immunoreactive IL-6 tended to be increased, despite the presence of great variations between samples, a significant elevation being found only in the scale extracts of pustular psoriasis. Although the mean of IL-6 levels in the suction blister fluids from psoriatic involved skin was higher than those from normal or psoriatic uninvolved skin, again no statistical significance was noted. Moreover, no significant correlation was observed between the levels of immunoreactive IL-1 and IL-6 in these materials. Our direct measurements of these cytokines in lesional tissue samples do not provide evidence suggesting any close interrelationship between IL-1 and IL-6 nor provided evidence suggesting a pivotal role for IL-6 in the pathogenetic mechanism of psoriasis. psoriasis; interleukin 6; interleukin 1; suction blister; horny tissue

Ethno-epidemiological study of medicinal products and medicinal plants use among pregnant women

: The objective of this study was to examine the profile of pregnant women who visited the Unified Health System of the municipality of Umuarama/PR and to analyze their use of drugs categorized as D and X according to the United States Food and Drug Administration FDA and contraindicated medicinal plants for evaluating the potential gestational risks. A cross-sectional ethnoepidemiological study using a questionnaire was conducted among 500 pregnant women from January to May 2017. According to the pregnant women, during the prenatal period, 67.8% did not receive information on the use of medicinal plants and 26.6% used contraindicated plants. Among the drugs used, 12.2% belonged to category "D" (anticonvulsants), and 2.4% belonged to category "X" (hormonal contraceptives). This work highlights the need to expand health promotion activities to the basic units and implement protocols and technical guidance tools as well as training of pharmaceutical professionals to educate the population on the risk of these drugs during pregnancy.

The micrometeorology of the urban forest

Urban trees occupy a wide variety of habitats, from a single specimen competing in the urban jungle to extensive remnant or planted forest stands. Each is shown to produce distinct micro- to local scale climates contributing to the larger urban climate mosaic. These effects are discussed in relation to the radiative, aerodynamic, thermal and moisture properties of trees that so clearly set them apart from other urban materials and surfaces in terms of their exchanges of heat, mass and momentum with the atmosphere. Their resulting ability to produce shade, coolness, shelter, moisture and air filtration makes them flexible tools for environmental design.
A new decade for social changes

Advertising is an undisputed reality of the contemporary world, being a form of communication present both in and beyond mass media. With the evolution of the society, new means of expression have emerged and determined an expansion of the range of advertising products offered for information, persuasion and, why not, for enjoyment. However, as advertising expanded its scope, the meanings attributed to the concept began to change and broaden at the same time. In the Romanian cultural space, this evolution of the concept, as well as the increasing presence of English in all instances of communication have led to a dynamisation of the process of defining advertising, especially due to the new meanings revealed by the definition of the concept in English. In this context, the present article aims to highlight the existence of some discrepancies between the definition of the concept and the terminology already established in Romanian, on the one hand, and to offer solutions that smooth the way to a better equivalence of the meanings assigned to the concept in the process of translating it from Romanian into English, on the other hand. Considering the problem statement, our own observations and the data collected from the online survey carried out among the students pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the Faculty of Communication Sciences, two definitions of the Romanian concepts of publicitate and reclamă are put forth in order to bridge the conceptual gap existing in the Romanian cultural space.
