Hypertrophy Training Following A Total Hip Replacement: A Literature Review
Authors: Bull Tyson , Erzen Andrew , O'Donnell John , Rafla Michael , Georgy David , Bailey Mia , Takla Amir
Published: March 2024

Hip OA is becoming more common, with a greater number of younger individuals undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). These individuals have the desire to return to considerable loading and in some instances return to sport. The purpose of this review was to investigate the current guidelines and/or protocols for hypertrophy or strengthening in individuals who have undergone total hip arthroplasty. A total of 16 papers were identified, some of which also addressed total knee arthroplasty. There is no consensus for the best practice for a hypertrophy program following THA especially regarding when a direct anterior approach was used during hip arthroplasty. Further research is needed as this is a growing area in rehabilitation. This review aims to bridge the gap by offering a comprehensive synthesis of the available literature on postoperative rehabilitation after THA, with a specific emphasis on identifying the most effective muscular strengthening and hypertrophy training programs for patients undergoing anterior approach hip surgery.

Authors: Kristiansen Jakob , Eddy Christina , Magnusson Stig Peter
Published: March 2024

Background and Purpose

Hamstring strength testing is crucial in assessing this important muscle group during rehabilitation and injury prevention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of measuring strength in a maximally lengthened position using a handheld dynamometer (HHD) compared to isokinetic testing.

Methods

Twenty healthy and active participants were recruited, and isometric strength testing was performed both on the Biodex machine and isometric end-range hamstring testing with the HHD on two occasions.

Results

Significant strong correlations (r= 0.87, p < 0.0001) were found between strength testing on the Biodex machine and the HHD for both the right and left sides. Bland-Altman plots demonstrated agreement between the two measurements. Excellent intra-rater reliability (ICC= 0.91-0.93) and moderate to good inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.71-0.83) for the HHD test was demonstrated.

Conclusions

The HHD provides a reliable and valid alternative to isokinetic testing for assessing hamstring strength in a maximally lengthened position. This assessment can be valuable in monitoring rehabilitation progress and detecting deficits before and after returning to play. The HHD is an accessible and cost-effective option for assessing hamstring strength at long lengths in a clinical setting.

Authors: Manske Robert C. , Wolfe Chris , Page Phil , Voight Michael
Published: March 2024

Accurately diagnosing pectoralis major injuries, particularly in athletes, often presents a challenge for healthcare practitioners. Although pectoralis muscle injuries are relatively uncommon, the diagnosis of a tear may be overlooked without careful screening by a thorough physical examination of both the injured and uninjured sides. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has traditionally held the gold standard, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) has emerged as a viable alternative. This article delves into the power of MSKUS in evaluating and diagnosing pectoralis major injuries, highlighting its dynamic capabilities, real-time visualization, and cost-effectiveness in comparison to MRI. By equipping healthcare professionals with a thorough understanding of MSKUS’s potential, this article aims to empower them to confidently diagnose and manage pectoralis major injuries, ultimately improving patient outcomes and facilitating a faster return to function.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Disaster Resilient Village (Destana) program in Sumber Village, Magelang Regency, and the role of the actors involved in the pentahelix collaboration concept in the implementation process. This research is qualitative descriptive research. The research location was in Magelang Regency, especially in Sumber Village. Data collection techniques using observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with informants using purposive sampling. The research found that five actors in the Pentahelix concept, namely academics, business, community, government, and media, have roles in implementing the Destana program. Government, community, and academics are actors who have a significant role in implementing Destana. the business and media sectors are less visible because they are only seen when a disaster has occurred. The synergy in Destana in Sumber Village was seen when implementing the Inclusion-Based Disaster Simulation, where academics, government, community, and media actors participated. The Destana Sumber Village program still has not seen synergy from five actors due to the lack of roles of business actors in disaster risk reduction activities. The recommendation is to include Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the implementation of Destana.

Published: March 2024

Tata kelola pasar Rengasdengklok megalami berbagai permasalahan seperti penumpukan sampah yang tidak beraturan, kemacetan, serta tidak tertatanya para pedangang karena didominasi oleh pedagang kaki lima (PKL). Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Karawang berinisiasi melakukan relokasi untuk menata ulang pasar Rengasdengklok, namun proses relokasi mengalami berbagai penolakan pedagang terutama PKL. Penolakan para pedagang dengan alasan harga kios yang ditawarkan pihak ketiga kurang sesuai atau terlalu tinggi. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui kolaborasi antara Pemerintah Daerah, swasta dan para pedagang dalam tata kelola pasar dengan menggambarkan peran masing-masing. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif, tehnik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian bahwa sarana prasarana yang disediakan di pasar baru belum siap dalam memenuhi kebutuhan para pedagang, serta harga kios yang ditetapkan terlalu tinggi. Kehadiran PKL yang tidak mengikuti ketentuan sewa juga dirasakan menjadi ketidakadilan bagi warga Ikatan Para Pedagang Rengasdengklok (IPPR). Peran sektor privat yaitu PT VIM menjadi dominan dalam pengelolaan pasar, sehingga para pedagang perlu mengeluarkan biaya lebih untuk memperoleh pelayanan agar kenyamanan pasar tetap di perhatikan PT VIM. Kesimpulan bahwa peran Pemda setelah dilakukan relokasi dialihkan kepada sektor privat, sehingga koordinasi pengelolaan pasar dilakukan antara IPPR dengan PT VIM.

The Customer Requirements Analysis Method of Engineering Products Based on Multiple Preference Information
Authors: Mao Guo
Published: March 2024

To effectively evaluate the fuzziness of the market environment in product planning, a customer requirements analysis method based on multiple preference information is proposed. Firstly, decision-makers use a preferred information form to evaluate the importance of each customer requirement. Secondly, a transfer function is employed to unify various forms of preference information into a fuzzy complementary judgment matrix. The ranking vector is then calculated using row and normalization methods, and the initial importance of customer requirements is obtained by aggregating the weights of decision members. Finally, the correction coefficients of initial importance and each demand are synthesized, and the importance of customer requirements is determined through normalization. The development example of the PE jaw crusher demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Authors: HR Hafif , Marh Fahmi , Rosa Della , Surayya Yade
Published: March 2024

Pancaragam, the only active music group in West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, holds significant potential but has yet to gain widespread recognition. Similar to Tanjidor groups in Betawi Kalimantan, such as Pontianak and Pemangkat, Pancaragam faces challenges in expanding its reach and economic impact on its musicians. To address this, we offer strategic solutions focused on enhancing visibility through social media platforms. This proposal includes the implementation of management patterns that align with the characteristics of each social media platform. Firstly, a profound understanding is needed on how to manage and leverage the specific features of platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. This involves the use of compelling visual content, such as video snippets from their performances, as well as active engagement with fans through comments and direct messaging. Furthermore, the implementation of creative digital campaign strategies can elevate Pancaragam's online presence. Contests or music challenges on these platforms can encourage community participation, while special offers or discounts for live performances can attract a broader audience. Collaborating with local influencers or social media users with an interest in traditional arts and culture can also be an effective way to expand networks and reach new audiences. With a combination of focused management and digital marketing strategies, Pancaragam can gain broader recognition, enhance their online presence, and ultimately provide a positive economic impact for its musicians.

Authors: Chidiac Omar , AlMukdad Sawsan , Harfouche Manale , Harding-Esch Emma , Abu-Raddad Laith J
Published: March 2024

Background

Epidemiology of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infection remains inadequately understood.

Aim

We aimed to characterise NG epidemiology in Europe.

Methods

We used Cochrane and PRISMA guidelines to systematically review, report, synthesise and analyse NG prevalence data from 1949 to 30 September 2021. Random-effects meta-analyses estimated pooled prevalence. Meta-regression analyses investigated associations and sources of heterogeneity.

Results

The 844 included publications yielded 1,573 prevalence measures. Pooled prevalence of current urogenital infection was 1.0% (95% CI: 0.7–1.2%) among general populations, 3.2% (95% CI: 1.8–4.8%) among female sex workers, 4.9% (95% CI: 4.2–5.6%) among sexually transmitted infection clinic attendees and 12.1% (95% CI: 8.8–15.8%) among symptomatic men. Among men who have sex with men, pooled prevalence was 0.9% (95% CI: 0.5–1.4%), 5.6% (95% CI: 3.6–8.1%), and 3.8% (95% CI: 2.5–5.4%), respectively, for current urogenital, anorectal or oropharyngeal infection. Current urogenital, anorectal or oropharyngeal infection was 1.45-fold (95% CI: 1.19–1.77%), 2.75-fold (95% CI: 1.89–4.02%) and 2.64-fold (95% CI: 1.77–3.93%) higher among men than women. Current urogenital infection declined 0.97-fold (95% CI: 0.96–0.98%) yearly, but anorectal and oropharyngeal infection increased (1.02-fold; 95% CI: 1.01–1.04% and 1.02-fold; 95% CI: 1.00–1.04%), respectively.

Conclusions

Neisseria gonorrhoeae epidemiology in Europe has distinct and contrasting epidemiologies for vaginal sex transmission in heterosexual sex networks vs anal and oral sex transmission in MSM sexual networks. Increased transmission may facilitate drug-resistant strain emergence. Europe is far from achieving the World Health Organization target of 90% incidence reduction by 2030.

Background: the role of glutamate receptor dysfunction in mental disorders, neurological, autoimmune, and oncological pathology has been intensively investigated in the past decade. The development of drugs that target glutamatergic receptors has also been a focus of research.

The aim was to describe modern concepts of neurodevelopmental disorders (according to the International Classification of Diseases 11th revision, L1-6A0) that are associated with genetically induced alterations of the structure of glutamatergic receptors.

Material and method: a search for descriptions of cases with impaired neuropsychiatric development associated with genetic defects of ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptor subunits was performed in the MEDLINE/Gene database, MEDLINE/PubMed scientific library, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), UniProt, ClinGen and eLibrary. Genetically induced structural abnormalities of most known ionotropic (GluA, GluN, GluK, GluD) and a number of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1, 5, 7) are associated with severe variants of neuropsychiatric disorders that manifest in infancy and early childhood.

Conclusion: the considerable variation in the clinical presentation of these cases demands a transnosological approach to diagnosis and management of patients, under cooperation of specialists in pediatrics, child psychiatry, neurology, genetics, and medical and social rehabilitation.
