Partial Vs Full Range of Motion Resistance Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Wolf Milo , Androulakis-Korakakis Patroklos , Fisher James , Schoenfeld Brad , Steele James
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Background: Range of motion (ROM) during resistance training is of growing interest and is potentially used to elicit differing adaptations (e.g. muscle hypertrophy and muscular strength and power). To date, attempts at synthesising the data on ROM during resistance training have primarily focused on muscle hypertrophy in the lower body.

Objective: Our aim was to meta-analyse and systematically review the effects of ROM on a variety of outcomes including hypertrophy, strength, sport, power and body-fat type outcomes. Following pre-registration and consistent with PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review of PubMed and SportsDISCUS was performed. Data was extracted and a Bayesian multi-level meta-analysis was performed. A range of exploratory sub-group and moderator analyses were performed.

Results: The main model revealed a trivial SMD (0.12; 95% CI: –0.02, 0.26) in favour of full ROM compared to partial ROM. When grouped by outcome, SMDs all favoured full ROM, but SMDs were trivial to small (all between 0.05 to 0.2). Sub-group analyses suggested there may be a muscle hypertrophy benefit to partial ROM training at long muscle lengths compared to using a full ROM (–0.28; 95% CI: –0.81, 0.16). Analysis also suggested the existence of a specificity aspect to ROM, such that training in the ROM being tested as an outcome resulted in greater strength adaptations. No clear differences were found between upper- and lower-body adaptations when ROM was manipulated.

Conclusions: Overall, our results suggest that using a full or long ROM may enhance results for most outcomes (strength, speed, power, muscle size, and body composition). Differences in adaptations are trivial to small. As such, partial ROM resistance training might present an efficacious alternative for variation and personal preference, or where injury prevents full-ROM resistance training.

This literature review aims to analyze the surgical treatment of enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) and its effectiveness. Based on studies carried out from 2013 to 2022 in the PubMed, Google Academic, and Medline databases to analyze the surgical technique of the case report and compare it with other literature. The enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF), as its name indicates, is defined as an opening that connects the gastrointestinal tract and the atmosphere, located in an open abdomen, being a consequence of abdominal surgeries, traumas, perforations, ischemia, and leakage of the anastomosis after surgery. The amount of time the abdomen stays open is directly related to the risk of EAF. That is, the longer the time with the abdomen open, the more significant the risk of EAF. Among the types of fistulas, those with a high volume (>500mL) are considered the most lethal. Spontaneous closure is complex and rare, as there is not an abundance of vascularized tissue in the region, in addition to the fact that the tissue is in constant contact with the contents of the gastrointestinal tract, causing tissue irritation and delaying healing speed. Surgical procedures may be necessary
Traumatic bilateral anterior glenohumeral dislocation . Should unsupervised training at local gym be allowed?
Authors:   Registrar Department of Orthopaedics GMC Srinagar, Ahmad Khan Hayat
Published: March 2023

The wide range of motion provided by the shoulder complex allows the glenohumeral joint to be used as a stable fulcrum for placing the upper extremity at various positions in three-dimensional space. A consequence of this flexibility, however, is the propensity for the joint to become unstable. Shoulder joint mostly dislocates anteriorly but the bilateral dislocations are of rare occurance. Most of these are posterior. Bilateral anterior dislocations are of rare occurrence and only few cases are reported in English literature which are usually associated with fractures. We report this case of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation due to hyperextension injury caused due to unsupervised open weight bench pressing without any associated fracture. Closed reduction was done under sedation uneventfully. Unsupervised training at the local gyms should be discouraged and proper equipment should be sought for these fitness training centres to prevent such injuries.

Authors:   SOD Medicina Interna e post chirurgica AOU Careggi Firenze, Italy, Rostagno Carlo
Published: March 2023

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is still a frequent and sometimes severe complication after knee replacement surgery. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures have been widely used to decrease VTE risk. Non pharmacological treatment include measures directed to decrease the effects of blood stasis, intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPCD) and graduated compression stockings, and mechanical devices. Pharmacological prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with a more significant decrease in the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and related complications after knee arthroplasty however anticoagulation may increase the risk of postoperative bleeding and related complications, in particular the need for re-intervention. Aim of present review was to suggest practical approach to DVT prophylaxis in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty

Authors: Halim Olivia Lawrencia
Published: March 2023

Latar belakang: Hadirnya pandemi Covid-19 telah membawa dampak yang begitu besar di berbagai aspek kehidupan sehari-hari, terutama ekonomi, sosial dan politik di dunia sehingga perputaran roda perekonomian di Indonesia menjadi sangat lambat. Dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh pandemi Covid-19 di bidang ekonomi juga berimbas kepada pendapatan negara. Salah satunya adalah negara Indonesia yang sebagian besar sumber pendapatan negara adalah melalui penerimaan pajak. Oleh sebab itu, kesadaran akan pentingnya peranan pajak sebagai sumber pendapatan terbesar negara, maka pemerintah terus melakukan upaya peningkatan kas negara dengan dibentuknya kebijakan di sektor perpajakan guna menunjang pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional. hal tersebut juga memerlukan adanya kesadaran masyarakat untuk membayar pajak, terkhususnya wajib pajak di masa pandemi ini.

Metode penelitian: Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan. Studi kepustakaan merupakan suatu kegiatan menelaah bahan pustaka guna memperoleh informasi yang relevan dengan objek penelitian. Adapun sumber bahan hukum yang digunakan berupa bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder. Bahan hukum primer adalah bahan pustaka yang meliputi peraturan perundang-undangan nasional yang relevan dengan topik penelitian, sedangkan bahan hukum sekunder adalah bahan yang memiliki korelasi dengan bahan hukum primer yang diperoleh dari beberapa karya ilmiah, internet, dan jurnal yang dapat mendukung penelitian ini.

Hasil penelitian: Menurut data Kemenkeu, realisasi penerimaan pajak telah mencapai setidaknya 88,3% dari target APBN yang sebesar Rp1.485 triliun. Selain itu, menurut hasil penelitian Supriyati (2018) yang didasarkan pada motivational posture, menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran dari diri individu berpengaruh sangat kuat terhadap perilaku patuh atau tidaknya dalam melaksanakan kewajibannya. Salah satu aspek terpenting dalam meningkatkan kepatuhan wajib pajak adalah strategi pemeriksaan dan pemberian sanksi pajak.

Kesimpulan: Pandemi Covid-19 tidak hanya berdampak pada ekonomi tetapi juga terhadap perpajakan. Realisasi penerimaan pajak melonjak hingga 54,2% pada September 2022. Kesadaran wajib pajak berpengaruh besar pada perilaku patuhnya sendiri. Adapun strategi upaya dalam meningkatkan kepatuhan wajib pajak: memperbaiki pelayanan perpajakan, meningkatkan jumlah tenaga pemeriksa di DJP, melakukan sosialisasi dan edukasi tentang perpajakan, serta melakukan internalisasi nilai moral dan integritas petugas pajak dalam menjalankan tugasnya.

To determine the compliance status of health care workers of care bundles on prevention and care of device associated infections in CCU in Phase III.

To evaluate the effectiveness of multifaceted care bundle approach on device associated infections status of CLABSI, CAUTI, & VAP in CCU

To find the risk of DAI in patients in the Post implementation phase (Phase III)

Methods: An experimental approach was adopted to study the effectiveness of multifaceted care bundle approach to reduce device associated infection (DAI) in critical care unit (CCU) in a multispecialty hospital, Mangaluru. Universal sampling technique was adopted to select the 472 sample retrospectively (MRD and HIC records of DAI patients of critically care units) and 409 samples as prospectively (current critically ill patients) then implementation of bundle was done and post implementation evaluation done.

Results: While comparing pre and post implementation phases, it is found that there was reduction in CAUTI rate /1000 catheter days and CLASBI rate/1000 central line days from Phase I to phase III and increase in VAP rate /1000 ventilator days from Phase I to phase III. Increase in device utilization ratio of CAUTI and CLASBI from Phase I to III and reduction in VAP device utilization ratio from Phase I to III, also observed that during pre-implementation phase, the VAP rate, CLABSI rate and CAUTI rate for all the ICU’s taken together were 134.37/1000 ventilator days, 412/1000 central line days, and 332.92/1000 urinary catheter days, respectively. However, during the post implementation the rates reduced into 133.92, 287.98, and 242 per 1000 device days respectively. There was a month wise decreasing trend of VAP rate, CLABSI rate, and CAUTI rate during the study period.

In males CAUTI, CLABSI AND VAP rates were reported highest in the both Phases (I and III) and CAUTI, CLABSI and VAP difference in both Phases was not statistically significant according to age and gender (p=0.500) .Highest number of CAUTI was reported in Phase I compared to Phase III .Total number of device days were more (352) for CAUTI whereas 340 ventilator days for VAP, 292 central line days in the Phase I. While comparing both Phases significant difference was found in CAUTI (0.0017) CLASBI (0.002) and VAP (0.0016 ).

Conclusion: From the findings of the study it can concluded that multifaceted care bundle significantly reduced DAIs in critically ill patients

A dor tem sido um dos maiores fatores que influenciam o curso da história humana. A avaliação efetiva da dor em pediatria tem sido um desafio para a equipe de enfermagem, pois, é importante que ela compreenda as características do desenvolvimento e comportamento da criança para avaliar e quantificar a dor em crianças. Objetivos: Identificar evidências científicas de estudos publicados sobre como a equipe de enfermagem realiza a avaliação e o manejo da dor em crianças; classificar os tipos de dor; identificar e descrever os meios terapêuticos para amenizar a dor. Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura, nos idiomas português e inglês disponíveis na íntegra na base de dados indexada na BVS, no período de 2018 a 2022, relacionados a estudos que abordem a assistência de enfermagem na dor em crianças. Resultados: Foram obtidos 13 artigos que após a análise resultaram em 3 categorias temáticas: falha na utilização de instrumentos para avaliação da dor, intervenções não farmacológicas para o tratamento da dor e abordagens lúdicas para o alívio da dor. Conclusão: A equipe de enfermagem possui conhecimento acerca do tema, porém, a utilização de instrumentos para a avaliação da dor é insuficiente para identificar, quantificar e manejar a dor em crianças e/ou neonatos. Esse assunto não é frequentemente incluído nos cursos de enfermagem, seja em nível técnico, superior, ou ainda de educação permanente. Existem lacunas na educação básica e na educação continuada, dificultando a comunicação efetiva com as crianças, com as famílias e entre os grupos multidisciplinares.

Trade economists emphasised that export diversification plays an essential role to mitigate trade shocks. Nevertheless, little empirical evidence justified the argument regarding pandemic-led disruption effects. The study examines the role of export diversification in mitigating the adverse effect of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Malaysia. The results suggest that a country-based export diversification plays a vital role in minimising COVID-19 exports disruptive effect, with greater weight on the regional trade. Nevertheless, long-term product diversification is relatively beneficial to promote growth and trade resilience.

Authors: Gandhi Elaiyaraja , Narayanaswamy Kumaratharan
Published: March 2023

Flames recognition methodology is most important for completely diminishing the flame losses in different fired environmental conditions. However, there is delayed detection and lower accuracy in the various common detection methods. Thus, optimum image/video fire detection technology is proposed in this paper based on a support vector machine (SVM) with the fuzzy c-mean, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) feature extraction for the detection of fires. This algorithm has been tested on various fire and non-fire images for classification accuracy. A performance evaluation of the proposed classifier algorithm and existing algorithms is compared, showing that the accuracy and other metrics of the proposed classifier algorithm are higher than other algorithms. Furthermore, simulation results show that the proposed classifier model is improved the forecast detection accuracy of fires.

"The Visit" (2021), de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: feminismo literário e ficção especulativa
Authors: Braga Cláudio R. V.
Published: March 2023

Bastante difundido nos Estados Unidos, o termo “ficção especulativa” indica uma extensa produção literária na qual conjunturas, tempos e espaços alternativos têm sido imaginados, resultando em um corpus literário rico de significados. Este artigo demonstra de que forma a ficção especulativa, conceito controverso, reflete a condição humana a partir de seus mecanismos específicos. Em sequência à discussão teórica, o artigo oferece uma análise do conto “The Visit” (2021), da consagrada escritora Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, parte da coletânea Black Stars. A investigação evidencia como “The Visit” pode ser lido como exemplo de literatura especulativa, acrescentando a ela o olhar feminista que é próprio da autora. Isso pôde ser depreendido tendo em vista que o uso artístico dos elementos especulativos resulta em uma obra que instiga leitoras e leitores a repensar os absurdos da desigualdade de gênero a partir da criação literária de um matriarcado opressor.
Post-COVID-19 sequelae in lungs: retrospective computed tomography analysis in selected tertiary care hospitals of Mangalore
Authors: Ullal Sonali , Goyal Ankita
Published: March 2023

Introduction

The radiological features of COVID-19 during the active disease process are well established, but the radio­logical features in the convalescent and post-recovery period of the disease are still unclear. The objectives of this study are to document and assess the proportion of the residual changes in lung post COVID-19 infection and to look for evidence and the proportion of fibrosis post COVID-19 infection on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).

Material and methods

HRCT thorax of COVID-positive cases done during the disease process and in the recovery/post recovery phase were included in the study. Sample Size: 75. Categorical data are represented in the form of frequencies and proportions. The 2 test was used as a test of significance for qualitative data. Continuous data are represented as mean and standard deviation. A p-value (probability that the result is true) of < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant after assuming all the rules of statistical tests.

Results

Initial computed tomography (CT) findings mainly included ground glass opacity (GGO) (93.3%), inter­lobular septal thickening (66.7%), consolidation (52.0%), and fibrotic bands (8.0%). Ninety-two per cent of the CT scans demonstrated some pulmonary change in the follow-up CT. This was mostly in the form of GGO (58%). Approximately 17% of cases showed fibrotic changes in the follow-up CT.

Conclusions

Post-COVID lung sequelae can be present in a significant number of patients. This are mostly seen in patients with severe initial disease and in older patients. Statistically significant post-COVID sequelae changes include GGO, fibrotic bands, and bronchiectasis.

With Meteosat Third Generation geostationary satellite being in orbit, users will receive the data that will highly upgrade the abilities of monitoring convective clouds over Europe.

Two main sensors on MTG-I1, FCI – Flexible Combined Imager and LI - Lightning imager, provide imagery from geostationary orbit with unprecedented spatial resolution and improved spectral resolution with 16 spectral channels, half of them being in solar part of spectrum. Spatial resolution of 500m with VIS0.6 channel doubles the SEVIRI’s High resolution visible channel resolution and reveals even smaller details on top of convective clouds. New channel VIS2.25 offers new capabilities for analysing cloud microphysics and cloud phase. VIS0.9 μm channel is a great benefit to convection nowcasting providing insight into low-level humidity content.

The new channels enable production of RGBs and derived products for different application areas. This information is amended by the data from Lightning Imager, indicating the lightning activity in the storms.

Depending on the availability, the examples of the new images, RGB combinations and products will be shown, with a special focus to storm nowcasting applications. Different stages of convection as well as features occurring during storm development will be presented through the MTG FCI and LI data, emphasizing the benefits of the newest European geostationary satellite. 

 
An updated tornado climatology and associated meteorological environments in Greece

Tornadoes are common in Greece, as they have been reported in many parts of the country, including continental and maritime areas. Systematic records of tornado occurrences have been collected in the last 23 years, offering to the development of the Greek tornado database and the establishment of relevant climatologies for Greece and Eastern Mediterranean. The 23-year data of the Greek tornado database (2000-22) includes a total of 1435 days with 2086 tornado events. The vast majority of the database, a total of 1485 events, are tornadoes over the sea, the so-called waterspouts, 365 are land tornadoes and 236 are funnel clouds.

An updated tornado climatology is presented for Greece based on the geographical spatiotemporal analysis of tornado, waterspout and funnel cloud occurrences with mapping of the events and investigation of frequency distributions. Further climatological aspects are highlighted, including tornado prone areas, tornado intensity, path scales, damage characteristics and remarkable cases with outbreaks in sequence of days and number of events. Climatological analyses identified western Greece, the Ionian Sea and lowland prairies and coastal areas as most prone to tornado activity. In the Aegean Sea, waterspouts are reported from many places, with a maximum frequency from the north coast of Crete. Strong damaging tornadoes are mostly products of warm season severe thunderstorms, occasionally with supercell characteristics and also by mesoscale convective systems associated with frontal activity.

Synoptic circulation patterns associated with tornado occurrence are identified and categorized into six specific upper-air synoptic flow types, namely: southwest flow (SW), northwest flow (NW), closed-low system (CLOSED), cut-off low (CUT), shortwave trough (SWT) and longwave trough (LW). Mesoscale environments are also investigated based on thermodynamic, dynamic, wind parameters and convective instability indices.

The results help improves a forecasters’ ability to identify and anticipate such extreme weather events, by providing critical background information to the operational forecasting. Establishing synoptic climatologies can be useful in identifying weather conditions associated with tornadoes, possibly not the same as in the USA or other parts of the world with significant tornadic activity. Furthermore, it is important to improve our knowledge about meteorological environments favoring tornado occurrence in the view of the climate change that possibly has a large influence on such extreme weather phenomena.
How much do Mediterranean tropical-like cyclones (Medicanes) rely on diabatic heating?

Some mesoscale cyclones in the Mediterranean attain tropical-like characteristics, such as a deep warm core, absence of fronts, and a cloud-free “eye”. Some others have less symmetry, a shallow warm core structure, and a weak frontal activity, but both categories of cyclones are so-called “Medicanes”. Due to the vast variety of features that resemble tropical cyclones, polar lows and extratropical cyclones, Medicanes still do not have an official definition. The rapid intensity changes and tropical transitions of Medicanes, the evolution of associated deep convection, and the large spread of forecast tracks in numerical weather prediction models, as well as scarce in-situ observations highlight the challenges in understanding the dynamics of these weather systems.

In this study, we try to improve our understanding of the atmospheric ingredients that build Medicanes, and most importantly, how much contribution does diabatic heating has on Medicanes’ intensification process. To achieve this, numerical diagnostics are used to explain the evolution and contribution of diabatic processes in case studies of Medicanes observed between 2005 and 2021. The WRF model is utilized in high-resolution mode, and its results are evaluated against satellite and surface observations in order to filter out the problematic simulations. Then, the Pressure Tendency Equation (PTE) is applied, which helps to decompose the contribution of dynamic atmospheric components in each stage of a Medicane’s lifetime. Results show that the contribution of diabatic processes and large-scale forcing varies considerably among the studied Medicanes. Moreover, an online Potential Vorticity (PV) tracer module in WRF provides an additional metric for the role of latent heating during the same Medicanes. Both approaches help to identify important differences among the case studies and shed a new light on a new pathway of Medicane development that was previously ignored.
Severe Storms Research and Forecasting in Subtropical South
Authors: Ribeiro Bruno Z.
Published: March 2023

South America is known to be a hotspot for severe storms in the world. Environments favorable for severe storms often occur east of the Andes in subtropical latitudes, where extratropical weather systems interact with moisture transported poleward from the Amazon Basin by the low-level jet. This talk will cover research on severe storms in Subtropical South America with focus on the recent efforts to better document and understand severe storms characteristics and environments in the region. The severe storm environments will be discussed and exemplified using recent severe weather outbreaks. Case studies of strong tornadoes indicate that a very strong low-level jet is often present in these environments and these conditions are more common during the cold season. Subtropical South America is also prone to derechos, both serial and progressive. Additionally, giant hail (>10 cm diameter) was broadly documented east of the Andes, with gargantuan hail (> 15 cm) being more restricted to the Andes foothills. The talk will also cover the RELAMPAGO field campaign, which occurred in 2018 in central Argentina. Lastly, a recent international collaboration to maintain a severe storm reports database in South America, as well as efforts to issue semi-operational convective outlooks, will be discussed.
