Comparative study of clinical assessment of fetal weight estimation using Johnson’s formula and ultrasonographic assessment using Handlock’s formula at or near term and its correlation with its actual birth weight
Authors: M. Radhika
Published: February 2024

Background: Fetal growth assessment is an important part of antenatal care. Accurate estimation of fetal weight is one of the important aspects in management of labour. Estimation of birth weight by Johnson’s formula based on symphysiofundal height has advantage of speed, economy and general applicability. Obstetric ultrasound can predict fetal weight with a great degree of precision.
Methods: The prospective study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gyenecology, Yenepoya Medical College and Hospital, Mangalore on 100 pregnant women at or near term. Detailed history was taken, general, obstetric and systemic examination was done. Pelvic examination also done. Estimated fetal weight calculated using Johnson’s formula clinically and ultrasound was done to calculate estimated fetal weight using Handlock’s formula and correlated the birth weight calculated by two methods with its actual birth weight. Then the statistical analysis done to estimate the accuracy of two methods in estimated fetal weight.
Results: In this study, out of 100 pregnant women, mean actual birth weight was 3041.6gms. Actual birth weight divided into 3 groups 14% birth weight <2.5kg, 73% had 2.5-3.5kg and 13% had >3.5kg. Accuracy of both methods evaluated, ultrasonographic measurement more accurate than clinical estimation but the error with Johnson’s formula was with low birth babies.
Conclusions: Estimated fetal weight using Ultrasonographic Handlock’s formula was more accurate than Johnson’s formula. However, the results of Johnson’s formula were comparable to Handlock’s.
Operative difficulties in second stage caesarean section: an obstetrician’s nightmare
Authors: Kumari Maya , Patel Amrita D.
Published: February 2024

Background: By definition second stage caesarean section are performed in advanced labour at full cervical dilatation and usually after an unsuccessful attempt at vaginal delivery. It is an undesirable situation owing to the difficulties and fetomaternal complications related to it.
Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at department of obstetrics and gynaecology, B. J. Medical College and Civil Hospital Ahmedabad between April 2022 to March 2023. All the second stage caesarean section performed were included in this study and were analysed in terms of indications, intra-operative difficulties and postoperative complications along with fetal outcome. During this one-year time period there were a total 7867 deliveries. Out of which 2569 were done by caesarean section. Out of total caesarean sections 51 were performed in second stage of labour. This contributes to 0.64% of total deliveries and 1.98% of all caesarean sections. The overall incidence was 0.64%.
Results: During the study period there were a total 7867 deliveries. Out of which 2569 were done by caesarean section, out of this 51 were conducted in the second stage of labour. This contributes to 0.64% of total deliveries and 1.98% of all caesarean sections. Out of all indications the most common was non reassuring fetal heart sound. Intra-operative difficulties include extension of uterine incision (11.76%), blood transfusion was required in 19.60% of cases, 19.60% of cases had blood-tinged urine and there was bladder injury in one case. Baby was delivered by Patwardhan and modified Patwardhan method in 27.45% of cases. In post operative period 19.60% of cases were complicated by febrile illness and 11.76% by wound infection. There was total 10 NICU admissions and one perinatal mortality.
Conclusions: Caesarean section in second stage of labour is a technically difficult associated with intraoperative maternal complications and adverse neonatal outcome.

Authors: Perumal Ambika , Natarajan Lalitha , Abraham Reena
Published: February 2024

Background: Prenatal identification of cardiac defect gives families the opportunity to receive counselling regarding the anticipated fetal and neonatal outcomes. Screening and diagnosis of congenital heart disease in the first trimester has increased over the past decade as almost all CHDs are already established by that time. Objective was to assess the feasibility of screening through first trimester echocardiography by a trained observer in low-risk populations.
Methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 500 antenatal mothers of gestational age between 11-13 weeks+6 days attending a teaching hospital. Maternal age, weight, height, body mass index, parity, gestational age, obstetric history and past history were recorded. In addition to first trimester ultrasound screening for aneuploidy in foetuses, a simplified echocardiographic examination was performed. After obtaining the appropriate fetal position, Crown-rump length was documented. Nuchal translucency thickness was recorded. After examination with 2-dimensional sonography, the operator obtained the tricuspid flow and ductus venosus flow. Color flow mapping was applied for evaluating the 4-chamber view and three vessel tracheal views. Specific criteria developed for the 4-chamber view, 3 vessel trachea view, tricuspid flow and ductus venosus flow was used to assess feasibility.
Results: Good feasibility was observed for all the views, with tricuspid flow showing 96% feasibility, Ductus Venosus showing 95% feasibility, 3VT view showing 90.1% feasibility and 4CV view having 89.7% feasibility. There was no significant association found between maternal BMI, CRL and the feasibility of fetal cardiac screening.
Conclusions: Encouraging results of this study indicates the feasibility of fetal cardiac screening in low-risk population.

Authors: Prabhakar Manju , Ali Maryam
Published: February 2024

Molar pregnancy is one of the classifications of GTD and sometimes can be associated with hyperthyroidism. The classic features are irregular vaginal bleeding, hyper emesis and large uterus for gestational age. Though incidence of uterine fibroid with pregnancy is 1% to 10% but encountered with molar pregnancy is rare. Here we reported a case of complete molar pregnancy with posterior uterine fibroid who initially presented with 3-month amenorrhea and had a complaint of spotting per vagina occasionally with ultrasonography report suggestive of molar pregnancy and post uterine fibroid with raised beta-hCG with low TSH suggestive of hyperthyroidism.

Historical representations and Singapore students’ ideas about the nature and purpose of history learning
Authors: Choo Wendy
Published: February 2024

This article contributes to debates on how the history curriculum should be organised (i.e., thematically, or chronologically). It also contributes to the limited empirical research that employs a sociocultural approach to history education and the limited empirical research on history education in Singapore. Drawing on semistructured interviews with seven Singapore participants on their ideas about the nature and purpose of learning history, this article explores the implications of bringing together the disciplinary and collective memory approach to history education on students’ historical thinking and national identification.
The p53 protein – not only the guardian of the genome
Authors: Rusin Marek
Published: February 2024

The p53 tumor suppressor protein is best known as an activator of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Only a fraction of p53-activated genes encode proteins affecting cellular replication and various forms of cell death (apoptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy). The p53-regulated genes can be divided into so-called the core transcriptional program, which comprises genes activated in most cell types by most activators, and into the group of genes activated in in cell- or stress-specific manner. Activation of p53 occurs via the extensive set of posttranslational modifications, which adjust its stability, interaction with other transcription regulators, and its ability to form a tetramer. Surprisingly, in mouse models, the activation of the best-studied p53 target genes encoding the inhibitor of the cell cycle (CDKN1A) or the inducers of apoptosis (e.g. NOXA, PUMA) is dispensable for protection against cancers. Thus, the non-classical functions of p53 must be studied to better understand its tumor suppressive mechanisms.

Relacja międzyreligijne (interreligijne?) dzisiaj. Cztery paradygmaty
Authors: Hosek Pavel
Published: February 2024

Wraz z przemianą świata w ‘globalną wioskę’ wszystkie wspólnoty religijne zostają zmuszone do zmierzenia się z faktem istnienia i obecności innych wyznań i wyznawców. Choć o ich istnieniu wiedziano już długo wcześniej to nigdy nie były one tak widoczne i trudne do ignorowania jak przez ostatnie kilka dekad. Wspólnoty religijne mają kilka możliwości klasyfikowania ‘innych’. Tradycyjny pogląd, nazywany ekskluzywizmem, stopniowo zanika i jest dzisiaj reprezentowany tylko przez najbardziej konserwatywne kręgi. Najbardziej rozpowszechnionym punktem widzenia, przynajmniej wśród wykształconych adherentów, jest inkluzywizm, a więc postrzeganie własnej religii jako najlepszej lub najbliższej absolutowi przy jednoczesnym uznaniu, że w innych religiach znajdują się elementy prawdy. Wielu myślicieli religijnych traktuje inkluzywizm ciągle jako podejście aroganckie i jedynie bardziej ‘miękką’ formą ekskluzywizmu. Są oni na ogół zwolennikami paradygmatu pluralistycznego, który zaprzecza istnieniu jakiejkolwiek głównej, najlepszej lub uprzywilejowanej tradycji, jakiejkolwiek nadrzędnej odpowiedzi na objawienie. Wszystkie religie postrzegane są jako równe, jako kulturowo uwarunkowane odpowiedzi na Byt Absolutny. Choć ta pluralistyczna perspektywa jest obecnie bardzo popularna, jest też z wielu powodów krytykowana. Z tego względu przez ostatnie dziesięciolecie propagatorzy dialogu między religiami proponowali zarzucenie tradycyjnej typologii stosunków międzywyznaniowych (ekskluzywizm, inkluzywizm, populizm) i rezygnację z wysiłków ustanowienia wspólnej platformy porozumienia dla wszystkich religii lub stworzenie odpowiedniego metajęzyka. W tym czwartym paradygmacie próbuje się uniknąć słabości trzech wcześniejszych podejść, a zachować i ugruntować ich wartościowe elementy. Wydaje się również, że jest to paradygmat, który najlepiej koresponduje osiągnięciami antropologii kultury, filozofii języka i socjologii wiedzy.
Autonomiczna czy kontrolowana? O motywacji pracowników platformowych w systemie pracy na żądanie w Polsce
Authors: Polkowska Dominika
Published: February 2024

Praca za pośrednictwem platform na żądanie obok cech pozytywnych, do których zaliczają się np. elastyczność czasu pracy czy łatwość wejścia i wyjścia, wykazuje również cechy negatywne: wysoki poziom niepewności zatrudnienia, niskie i niepewne zarobki czy wpływ algorytmów, których zasad funkcjonowania nie znamy. Mimo tego coraz więcej osób podejmuje takie zajęcie. Wykorzystując teorię autodeterminacji Deciego i Ryana, artykuł odpowiada na pytanie, jakie rodzaje motywacji – motywacja autonomiczna czy kontrolowana – wyjaśniają podejmowanie pracy platformowej typu offline. Badania przeprowadzone wśród kurierów i kierowców pracujących za pośrednictwem aplikacji w Polsce pokazują, że w tym przypadku mamy do czynienia z obydwoma rodzajami motywacji. Jednak motywacja autonomiczna przeważa nad kontrolowaną, czego przejawem jest zaspokajanie potrzeb autonomii, kompetencji oraz więzi z innymi poprzez wykonywanie pracy platformowej.
Kontrola pracy na rzecz własnego pracodawcy w rozumieniu art. 8 ust. 2a ustawy o systemie ubezpieczeń społecznych
Authors: Kiełbowicz-Dziwulska Agnieszka
Published: February 2024

Rozdział przedstawia zasady prowadzenia kontroli płatników składek w zakresie pracy na rzecz własnego pracodawcy. Zagadnienie dotyczące pracy na rzecz własnego pracodawcy uregulowane zostało w art. 8 ust. 2a ustawy o systemie ubezpieczeń społecznych. Celem tej regulacji było zabezpieczenie praw ubezpieczonych zatrudnionych na podstawie stosunku pracy oraz umowy cywilnoprawnej, za których potencjalnie mogą nie być odprowadzane składki na ubezpieczenia społeczne od całości przychodu. Artykuł zawiera genezę przepisu prawa, pojęcie pracy na rzecz własnego pracodawcy i jego wykładnię. Wydaje się, że ugruntowana linia orzecznictwa sądowego, wskazująca jednoznacznie na obowiązek zapłaty składek za pracownika wykonującego pracę na rzecz własnego pracodawcy w ramach umowy cywilnoprawnej, powinna dostatecznie wyjaśniać zasady stosowania tego przepisu. Oznacza to zatem, że przyczyną nieprawidłowości w tym przypadku może być poszukiwanie oszczędności (którymi są między innymi składki na ubezpieczenia społeczne obok kosztów wynagrodzeń oraz podatków) w zakresie kosztów zatrudniania pracowników. Elastyczność form zatrudnienia nie może być jednak wykorzystywana do obejścia obowiązujących przepisów prawa. W opracowaniu przedstawiono argumenty płatników składek przeciwko stosowaniu art. 8 ust. 2a ustawy o systemie ubezpieczeń społecznych, a także charakterystykę i zakres przedmiotowy kontroli w zakresie pracy na rzecz własnego pracodawcy, w tym prawa kontrolujących do weryfikacji prawidłowości wywiązywania się z obowiązków w zakresie ubezpieczeń społecznych przez płatników składek. W artykule omówiono skutki stwierdzenia wykonywania pracy na rzecz własnego pracodawcy w aspekcie zasad ustalania podstawy wymiaru składek. Omówiono także orzecznictwo sądowe, jakie zapadło w tych sprawach, oraz wnioski i propozycje rozwiązań pojawiające się w literaturze przedmiotu.
Niektóre prawne następstwa przekształcenia stosunku pracy w fikcyjną – niepracowniczą – więź prawną. Abstrakcja czy skuteczna praktyka?
Authors: Świątkowski Andrzej Marian
Published: February 2024

Autor porównuje normy prawnokarne (art. 218 k.k.) z przepisami prawa pracy (art. 2 i art. 22 k.p.) wprowadzonymi przez ustawodawcę w celu zapobiegania stosowaniu fikcyjnych form zatrudnienia. Normy prawnokarne obejmują ochroną wyłącznie znamiona występku pracowniczego, a nie pracowników fikcyjnie ustanowionych przez osoby i podmioty zatrudniające na podstawie i w ramach umów cywilnoprawnych. Mamy tu do czynienia nie ze skuteczną praktyką, lecz z abstrakcją. Autor uważa, że zasady sformułowane w wymienionych przepisach Kodeksu pracy nie są automatycznie i skutecznie wprowadzane w życie.

Published: February 2024

Background: Functional foods are a topic of ongoing industrial use and research. Currently, coloured grain is being prioritized more in research since it is a source of neutraceutical chemicals. Black colored wheat is known for its anthocyanin content. Black wheat therefore has the potential to offer extra health advantages over those that standard wheat cultivars typically offer. Noodles are most popular products widely consumed throughout the world and represents second in global consumption to bread. The present study was undertaken to evaluate effect of processing on loss of amino acids content in black wheat supplemented noodles and control white noodles. Methods: In the present study, High performance liquid chromatography was used for the quantification of amino acids in Black and Netravati white colored wheat flour and prepared black wheat supplemented noodles and control white noodles samples prepared by extrusion. Result: Black wheat flour and Black wheat supplemented noodles samples had higher total amino acid content, Essential amino acid content and per cent essential amino acid score in comparison Netravati white flour and control noodles samples prepared from whole Netravati white wheat flour, while content of lysine was more in Netravati white wheat flour and control noodles samples. The noodles samples prepared exhibited average percent reduction in amino acid content in black and Netravati white wheat were 1.06 and 2.63%, respectively. Black wheat flour and black wheat supplemented noodles were rich in anthocyanins also rich in amino acids in comparison to Netravati white wheat flour. Minimum losses in amino acid content were observed in Black wheat supplemented noodles, while maximum losses were observed in Netravati white wheat control noodles samples.

Does the Use of Auto-Transfusion Tourniquet (A-TT) during CPR Drill Influence its Quality Parameters?
Authors: Gavriely Noam
Published: February 2024

The Auto-Transfusion Tourniquet (A-TT®) shifts the blood from the legs to the central circulation and blocks its return to the legs. The use of the A-TT has previously been shown to be effective during CPR and was shown in a pig study [1] to increase systolic and diastolic blood pressures, coronary perfusion pressure, cerebral perfusion and end-tidal PCO2. The present study was done to assess if using the A-TT as part of CPR protocol in pre-hospital cardiac arrest patients treated by a team of 4 caregivers interferes with the quality parameters of the CPR.
Cultural Identity and Secessionist Style of the Hungarian People
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Lee Sang-Dong
Published: February 2024

During the late 19th century, the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy brought modern transformations to Hungary, as a result of political compromise. Hungary, which was primarily an agrarian and underdeveloped nation, rapidly evolved into an industrial and agricultural state during this era. This transformation significantly influenced Hungary’s social structure, culture, and art fields. Additionaly, during the Dual Monarchy, Hungary actively pursued cultural exchanges with major European cities. This period laid the foundation for internationalization and Europeanization, while emphasizing national characteristics and originality. The influx and expansion of diverse pan-European cultural and artistic trends in Hungary were prominent during this time. The Hungarian Secession style played a pivotal role in creating a unique style grounded in the nation’s traditional folk motifs, which was influenced by modernism and avant-garde tendencies. The Hungarian Secession style in architecture aimed to go beyond static societal, philosophical, scientific, and artistic positivism by showcasing intricate trends. Stylization and ornamentation were utilized as a response to naturalism and as a continuation of symbolism and artistic abstraction.
This style is characterized by organic and curvilinear lines inspired by nature, which are present in both the exteriors and interior decorations of buildings. The architecture style of Hungary in the early 20th century was characterized by complex decorations and bright, diverse colors, especially in tile and glasswork. Buildings were not only functional spaces but also used to express cultural identity. In the field of art, Hungarian artists emphasized national identity by combining traditional folk art and patterns with contemporary styles in their works, often featuring plants, animals, and other natural elements. During this period, literature utilized metaphor and synesthesia as tools for stylization and ornamentation. The preferred genres were dramas, fairy tales, fantastical short stories, psychological novels, and lyric poetry. The focus was on expressing inner worlds and life's sentiments directly. The Secession style had a significant influence on the genre of short stories and played a crucial role in literary journalism of the time. This movement emphasized the cultural and national values of the economically prosperous liberal middle class, recognizing traditional Christian national values and the aesthetic tastes of the middle class. The new realism of writers such as Móricz Zsigmond and Babits Mihály would have been impossible without this style.
The Hungarian Secession style originated from the attempts of Hungarian artists to combine national traditions and folk art with a contemporary style. The performance particularly highlighted national and folkloric elements, demonstrating a distinctive way of expressing regional characteristics and national identity in Hungary.
The Role of Human Resources in the Financial Performance of the Lodging Industry: Evidence Based on Financial Accounting Numbers in Korea
Authors:   IAGBT, p p , p p
Published: February 2024

Purpose - This study investigates the role of human resource investment in the tourist accommodation sector of Korea. Specifically, it aims to explore the impact of human resource investment, particularly through employee education and training, on both the short-term and long-term financial performance within the Korean lodging industry.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Utilizing data f rom private firms for 2011-2020, the study examines how financial performance, including sales growth, is related to expenditures on education, training, and benefits as proxies for human resource investment. The research primarily employs a series of multivariate regression analyses.
Findings - The findings reveal that human resource investment itself does not affect short-term financial performance, but complements and supports financial outcomes of capital expenditure (PPE investment). However, the sales-based performance attributable to human resource investment becomes apparent within two years, and the supporting effect on financial performance generated due to capital expenditure still holds. Additionally, these results are significant for large-sized firms, but not for those small.
Research Implications - Overall, human resource i nvestment plays a critical role i n fi rm performance by serving as a key factor in managing company resources efficiently. This study highlights the need for the simultaneous periodic management of capital- and human resources. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the role of human resource investment in the lodging industry by providing empirical results based on financial accounting numbers, an aspect that has not previously been extensively considered.
An Impact Assessment of the European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on the Korean Economy: A CGE Approach
Authors:   IAGBT, f f , f f
Published: February 2024

Purpose - This paper investigates the economic impact of the European Union Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU-CBAM) on Korea’s economy.
Design/Methodology/Approach - The study employs the input-output model and Global Trade Analysis Project-Energy (GTAP-E) model by McDougal and Golub (2007), along with the GTAP-E version 10.1 Data Base developed by Aguiar et al. (2019). The input-output model estimates the carbon emissions of Korea’s exports to the EU27, evaluating potential carbon costs and a carbon tax (measured in US dollars per ton of emissions). Utilizing the static GTAP-E model, three policy scenarios are implemented, focusing on direct carbon emissions (Scope 1), emissions from electricity usage (Scope 2), and indirect emissions (Scope 3).
Findings - Simulation outcomes reveal significant contractions in CBAM-related sectors of the Korean economy, with a decline in iron and steel production (US$ 68.00 million) and electronic industries (US$ 39.16 million). Korea’s export reductions to the EU27 in CBAM-affected sectors (iron and steel, cement, aluminum) indicate a subtle impact extending to the energy, energy-intensive, and services sectors.
Research Implications - This paper provides valuable insights to policymakers and entrepreneurs in navigating the challenges and opportunities arising from the interlinkage of environmental policies and global trade dynamism. The analysis contributes to discerning perspectives essential for informed decision-making amid the complex interplay of regulatory frameworks and international trade dynamics.
Exploring the aromatic typicity of blended red wines from geographically close sub-regions in AOC Corbières: a sensory and chemical approach
Authors: Argentero Alice , Caillé Soline , Nolleau Valérie , Godet Teddy , Mouls Laetitia , Rigou Peggy
Published: February 2024

Several studies have reported a terroir effect on monovarietal wines originating from geographically close areas, using both aromatic and sensory analyses. However, few studies have evaluated this effect on blended wines, a widespread practice that is recognised as adding great complexity to wines. This study aimed to discriminate blended wines produced in five sub-regions of the Corbières AOC according to their aromatic and sensory profiles and across two vintages: 2018 and 2019. The wines’ aromatic profiles were semi-quantified using HS-SPME-GC-MS, and the sensory descriptors enabling the differentiation of the wines were identified by QDA analysis.
Although blending is a frequently used process adapted for the production of homogeneous wines within an appellation, the sensory and chemical profiles enabled us to differentiate wines of the Lagrasse and Lézignan sub-regions from those of the Maritime and Durban sub-regions. The variation in intensity of red fruit jam notes may be linked to terroir factors relating to the micro-climatic conditions. Wines from vineyards in coastal regions or at higher elevations were discriminated by lower intensities of this descriptor. However, other discriminating descriptors, such as amyl, earthy or cooked vegetables, could be related to the winemaking process. Correlations were found between the tendencies observed regarding the sensory markers (such as red fruit jam, butter/lactic, amylic, cooked vegetable) and those regarding the chemical families of aroma or specific aroma compounds (such as ethyl esters, higher alcohols and sulphur compounds), whose production is particularly affected by the winemaking processes. Finally, this study shows that it is possible to discriminate blended wines from different geographically close regions, and that the terroir factor with the greatest influence on this discrimination seems to be linked to winemaking processes, including the type of blending carried out.

INTRODUÇÃO: O gênero Candida compreende, aproximadamente, 150 espécies, das quais 13 são patogênicas aos seres humanos. Trata-se de microrganismos que pertencem naturalmente à microbiota oral dos seres humanos, cuja colonização ocorre imediatamente após o nascimento e que mantêm o sistema imune e a integridade das barreiras teciduais. Por se tratar de um agente casual, é considerada uma infecção de origem endógena, sendo que para ultrapassar a condição saprofítica é necessário que o organismo sofra certas alterações variáveis, de acordo com a região que irá desenvolver a ação patogênica. OBJETIVO: O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a prevalência de Candida spp. em mulheres a partir de laudos citopatológicos de um laboratório de uma Clínica Escola de São Luís, estado do Maranhão, nos períodos de 2019 e 2021. METODOLOGIA: Estudo do tipo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa. A pesquisa avaliou laudos citopatológicos de mulheres que foram atendidas nos anos de 2019 e 2021 para a realização do exame citopatológico. RESULTADOS: Neste estudo foi analisado um total de 1.095 laudos dos quais 123 (11,2%) foram positivos para Candida spp., com maior prevalência em mulheres entre 17 a 29 anos (35,8%), dentre os casos 87,8% tinham com associação a outros microrganismos e houve uma diminuição da realização de exames do Papanicolaou no ano de 2021. CONCLUSÃO: Mediante os resultados, foi possível verificar que as mulheres tiveram maior interesse na procura pelo exame citopatológico em 2019, no entanto, pressupõe-se que a redução no ano conseguinte foi em razão a pandemia de COVID-19. O estudo evidência a importância de incentivar a realização do exame preventivo.Palavras-chave: Candida; Candidíase Vulvovaginal; Exame citopatológico

Published: February 2024

AIMS: Over 8,650 Highland dancers registered to compete in Royal Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing events worldwide in 2019. While the burden of dance-related injuries is high among dancers, there are few studies examining Highland dance. The purpose of this study was to describe
the prevalence of self-reported 1-year injury history and safe dance practices among female Highland dancers. METHODS: Sixty-five female Canadian Highland dancers (median age 18; range 14–47) completed an anonymous online survey at the beginning of the 2019 championship season. Demographics
(i.e., age, body mass index), exposure (e.g., months/year dancing), safe dance practices (e.g., environmental, physical, psychological), and 1-year injury history (i.e., yes/no) were self-reported. Three definitions of dance-related injury were used: 1) time-loss (missed greater than or equal
to 1 class, practice, performance, and/or competition); 2) medical attention (requiring professional medical care); and 3) any physical complaint that affected full participation. RESULTS: Most participants were training at the elite standard/premier level (86%, 95%CI 75–93) and for
greater than or equal to 8 months/year (83%, 95%CI 75–93). The proportion of dancers reporting at least one physical complaint in the previous 1 year was 71% (95%CI 58–81). Sixty percent (95%CI 47–71) of dancers reported greater than or equal to 1 medical attention and/or
time-loss injury. All participants reported warming up regularly, with 59% (95%CI 46–70) participating in regular cool-downs. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of 1-year injury history among female Highland dancers is high. Education on the benefits of safe dance practice for Highland dancers
may be useful. Prospective cohort studies are needed to understand the dynamic nature of dance injuries across a full competitive season.
