Published: October 2023

The historical exploration of the body in sports hinges upon the value attributed to the body throughout time and converges various social science approaches, encompassing philosophical, religious, educational perspectives, and intersecting histories that involve political, sociological, economic, and medical dimensions. Sports, as a multifaceted cultural phenomenon, hold profound sociocultural significance, reflecting prevailing attitudes towards the human body. The study of body image in sports history becomes a nexus where anthropology, sociology, psychology, and sports science converge, offering valuable insights into the evolution of body ideals and their implications on athlete identity. This examination delves deep into the annals of sports history, unearthing the evolving notions of body image and its impact on athlete identity, shedding light on the implications of historical body image ideals for contemporary sports culture and proposing recommendations for fostering a positive body image and identity in sports. The objectives of this narrative review include unearthing the historical evolution of body image ideals, examining the influence of societal norms on perceptions of athletic bodies throughout history, unravelling the role of media, technology, and popular culture in shaping body image ideals in sports, and identifying the intimate connection between body image and athlete identity, exploring its profound ramifications on athletic performance and overall well-being. By synthesizing findings from existing systematic reviews and scholarly works, this exploration aims to illuminate the intricate interplay between sporting bodies and societal norms throughout history and their enduring legacy on sports culture in the present day.

Published: October 2023

In this study, a new multiobjective optimization of the simultaneous removal of phosphates and nitrates by electrocoagulation was studied using the Box-Behnken design. Ten aluminium electrodes, connected in a monopolar configuration in a batch reactor, were immersed in synthetic wastewater and then in real wastewater. The optimal conditions and the effects of parameters (current intensity, electrolysis time and initial pH) on phosphate and nitrate removal, the formation of by-products, and the operating cost were assessed in the case of synthetic wastewater. This optimization allowed to eliminate 89.21 % of phos­phates, 69.06 % of nitrates with an operating cost of 3.44 USD m-3 against 13.67 mg L-1 of ammonium generated. Optimal conditions applied to real domestic wastewater made it possible to remove 93 % of phosphates and 90.3 % of nitrates with an ammonium residual of 30.9 mg L-1. The addition of sodium chloride reduced the residual ammonium content to 2.95 mg L-1. Further, XRD analysis of the sludge showed poor crystal structure and the FTIR spectrum suggested that the phosphate is removed by adsorption and co-precipitation.

Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy With Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) with Rare Exon 7 Mutation in Pakistan: A Clinico-Genetic Correlation
Authors: Arshad Tehreem , Hassan Muhammad Jawad , Ahmad Arsalan
Published: October 2023

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an autosomal dominant hereditary small vessel arteriopathy with a genetic predilection for early strokes and vascular dementia. CADASIL is a result of NOTCH3 gene mutation on chromosome 19. Typical manifestations range from migraine with aura, relapsing transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and strokes to psychiatric symptoms, seizures and progressive dementia. This report identifies the first case of a rare C379S mutation in exon 7 of NOTCH3 in a Pakistani patient, presenting with initial symptoms of vertigo and dizziness and later with recurrent TIAs, subjective memory problems and migraines, hence expanding the spectrum of this condition.

Acute tubular injury and Acute Interstitial Nephritis Secondary to Cocaine Use
Authors: Arya P V Akhila , Tan Jia Wei , C Unnikrishnan Dileep , Sedaliu Kaltrina
Published: October 2023

Cocaine-associated kidney injury, such as acute kidney injury in the setting of rhabdomyolysis, have well been described in the literature. Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is a less frequent complication of cocaine intake. We present the case of a 37-year-old man who snorted cocaine and subsequently developed acute kidney injury in the absence of rhabdomyolysis. He underwent kidney biopsy which showed evidence of both AIN and ATI. He remained non-oliguric and euvolemic during his hospitalization. His renal function improved in two weeks with cessation of cocaine alone. No steroids were administered. In working up acute kidney injury, illicit drug history is important. We highlight the occurrence of cocaine associated ATI without heme pigment-induced AKI, and the presence of concurrent AIN. The clinical, biochemical and urinalysis findings are subtle and often, as in our case, are non-revealing. Renal biopsy is vital to diagnose these pathologies.
Tools for Hospital Medicine Leadership in the Post-Pandemic Era
Authors: Dapaah-Afriyie Kwame
Published: October 2023

Leadership in today’s hospital medicine environment requires vision, clear goals and importantly, engagement and buy-in from practice members. The phenomenon of “quiet quitting,” a form of disengagement can be combatted through the methods of LEAD (Litmus test, Encouragement and Empowerment, Advocacy and Accountability, Discourse and Discrepancies). Leaders striving to be effective must critically examine their own skill sets and find the balance between operational demands of the modern hospital and physicians’ need for respect and autonomy in the workplace.

Use, Effects, and Diagnostic Challenges of Cocaine Use in “Baby Boomers” and Older Adults
Authors: Akwe Joyce , Moussa Mohamad , Hall Mary Ann Kirkconnell
Published: October 2023

Introduction

Substance use disorder (SUD) is frequently recognized in the literature as an epidemic in the United States, but less attention has been paid to the scale of the epidemic among people older than 60 years of age. As the cohort of individuals in this age group grows as a proportion of the population—the so-called aging of the population—the incidence of SUD in older adults will increase numerically as well. While most existing literature on SUD in the elderly has focused on alcohol, opioids, and prescription drugs, the number of users of stimulant drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine is also growing. We review literature on the use, effects, and diagnostic challenges of cocaine in adults in the so-called “Baby Boomer generation” (ages 59-77 in 2023), particularly those ≥65 years.

Methods

We performed a literature review of PubMed and Web of Science databases, supplemented by Google Scholar using combinations of “cocaine,” “elderly,” and “older adults.” We searched the reference sections of particularly salient articles and utilized PubMed’s and Google Scholars’ “Cited By” and “Similar Articles” functions to find additional materials to include. We produced an annotated bibliography containing title and author information for each paper along with its abstract to select the papers to include; each author reviewed this bibliography to determine if articles were relevant, and if so, in which section(s) the material should be included. A total of 66 references have been included in this review.

Results

Both lifetime and current cocaine use appear to be more prevalent among members of the “Baby Boomer generation” than older cohorts. Though there has been limited research to inform clinical care for older adults who use cocaine, negative physical and psychosocial impacts have been noted in the literature. Cocaine use disorder may negatively affect the elderly more than younger users because of the increased vulnerability of their aging bodies to the physiological and cognitive effects of cocaine. Underdiagnosis of cocaine use in the elderly may be attributable to the assumption that any presenting symptoms are due to pre-existing medical conditions or that older adults are less likely to consume cocaine.

Conclusions

There is little information currently in the literature to help clinicians understand patterns and epidemiology of cocaine use, its effects on older adults and their common presentations after experiencing adverse events, and challenges of diagnosing and treating cocaine use in older adults. Additional research is needed to describe use and effects of cocaine on the elderly, particularly on age-related comorbid conditions and interactions with medications.

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the virtualization of medical education. While there is increasing guidance available on the various methods and strategies for this online pivoting, there is limited data about the learners’ perspective. The easement of social distancing restrictions has necessitated innovative delivery of education in hybrid formats (a mix of in-person and virtual).

Methods

An anonymous voluntary survey was distributed to all internal medicine (IM) residents at an academic medical center assessing resident perspectives on the transition from in-person didactics (IPD) prior to March 2020 to virtual didactics (VD) prompted by COVID-19 related limitations from March 2020-June 2022. This was followed by an evolution to a hybrid format didactics (HD) in July 2022 after social distancing guidelines were lifted. In January 2023, a follow-up survey was distributed to all IM residents to assess perspectives of VD as compared to HD. The surveys assessed trainee impact on education, quality of content and interaction with the speaker, use of interactive tools, content accessibility, technical difficulties, and comparison to prior formats (IPD).

Results

45 PGY-1s (interns) and PGY2-4s (senior residents) responded to the June 2021 survey (comparing IPD and VD; 30.8% response rate) and 30 interns and senior residents responded to the January 2023 survey (comparing HD to both previous formats; 18.3% response rate). Most interns were dissatisfied with the quality of educational content, with only 35% (9 out of 26) rating it as high or very high quality in 2021, and a similar rating in the January 2023 survey (7 out of 20). Interns also reported subpar interaction with speakers, with 19% (5 out of 26) rating it as high or very high quality in 2021, and 35% (7 out of 20) in 2023. Senior residents had similar views on content quality, with 45% (8 out of 18) giving it a high or very high rating in 2021, and a lower rating of 20% (2 out of 10) in 2023. They also reported suboptimal speaker interaction, with 28% (5 out of 18) in 2021 and 20% (2 out of 10) in 2023 rating it as high or very high quality. Despite the ease of use and accessibility of digital platforms, with over 70% of both interns and senior residents in both 2021 and 2023 surveys expressing satisfaction, a notable 54% (14 out of 26) of interns indicated an interest in returning to in-person didactics post-pandemic, compared to 25% (4 out of 16) of senior residents.

Conclusions

Our single center study demonstrated dissatisfaction in IM residents across various domains of virtual as well as hybrid format didactics despite reported ease of access. As innovations in delivery of resident education continue to occur, an ongoing assessment of the impact on learner satisfaction and knowledge acquisition is advised to ensure effective delivery.

When an explosive detonates in a blasthole, approximately 20 to 30% of the energy is only utilized for fragmenting the rock mass whilst the bulk of the energy is lost in the form of ground vibrations, flyrocks and airblasts. Employees’ residences, mine offices, processing plants and engineering workshops built close to the mining area and are in danger of being damaged by blast induced hazards.  In addition, due to flyrocks there was a high level of ore losses, ore dilution, equipment damages, mine roads and powerlines. To assess and reduce these negative impacts, monitoring of flyrocks, ground vibrations and airblast was carried out and generate a prediction model. A three-layer, feed-forward back-propagation of a 9-10-3 network architecture was trained, validated, and tested using the Bayesian regularization algorithm. A total of 100 monitored blast records obtained from the mine were used as input parameters for the ANN prediction model. Subsequently a Multivariate Regression analysis prediction model was run and used to compare with the results obtained from ANN model. Based on the study's findings, an ANN model proved to be the best for field predictions.To determine the relative impact of each input parameter on flyrocks, gound vibration, and Airblast, a sensitivity analysis was also carried out and lastly blast optimization which managed to reduce blast induced impacts by over 30%.

As neurotechnologies have gotten better, a lot of neuroscientific research has been done using these new technologies. Even though labs all over the world produce a lot of neuro-data, most of this data has not been shared to help people from different fields understand neuroscience. The neuro-data sharing is essential because it accelerates the pace of discovery in neuroscience. Effective data sharing will depend on the standardized use of file or data formats, highly reusable data analytics tools, and data storage formats. In this review paper, we review the four domains (data format, data model, data repository, and data analytics) that are currently in use in the neuroscience community. In the end, we are discussing several challenges associated with data sharing.
