This study examines the many elements influencing endurance performance in university students, including training routines, psychological fortitude, hereditary tendencies, and environmental adjustments. Data was gathered from 38 university students engaged in endurance sports using a descriptive methodology. The results reveal a significant commitment to endurance training since individuals typically participate in four sessions each week, each lasting around 60 minutes. Psychological resilience plays a significant role, with 82% of participants showing strong levels of intrinsic motivation and 74% displaying mental toughness in overcoming obstacles. 37% of participants have a family history of endurance performance, while 29% are interested in genetic testing, showing differing views on hereditary effects on performance. Performance outcomes are greatly impacted by environmental conditions, such as altitude training (42%), and heat acclimatisation (63%), which are often used tactics. The physiological examinations show an average VO2 max of 50 ml/kg/min, along with a muscle fibre composition consisting of 55% slow-twitch fibres and 45% fast-twitch fibres. The results highlight the intricate nature of elements influencing endurance performance in university students, emphasising the need for customised support systems. Universities can enhance performance outcomes and foster comprehensive athlete development by considering physiological, psychological, genetic, and environmental factors. This study enhances comprehension of the complex aspects of endurance performance in university students, offering valuable insights for improving athletic training and support programmes. Coaching recommendations should customise training programmes based on individual athlete requirements, utilising strong intrinsic motivation and mental resilience to create a favourable training atmosphere and enhance performance results.

INTERCORRÊNCIAS RELACIONADAS AOS PROCEDIMENTOS DE BOTOX E PREENCHIMENTO COM ÁCIDO HIALURÔNICO NA ESTÉTICA FACIAL
Authors: Regina Sant Ana de Oliveira Thainara , Ferreira de Sousa Keith , Morais Omena Janaína Isabella
Published: April 2024

Na sociedade contemporânea, a pressão para atender aos padrões de beleza estabelecidos tem levado muitas pessoas a recorrerem a procedimentos estéticos em busca da aparência ideal, muitas vezes imposta pela sociedade. Entre os procedimentos estéticos minimamente invasivos estão o botox e preenchimentos com ácido hialurônico, que são dois dos procedimentos mais procurados devido aos efeitos da melhoria estética e ação rejuvenescedora. A toxina botulínica, popularmente conhecida como botox, é utilizada para suavizar as rugas e linhas de expressão, causando um relaxamento muscular facial, proporcionando uma aparência mais jovial. Já o preenchimento com ácido hialurônico é utilizado para preencher rugas e sulcos mais profundos, aumentar os lábios no preenchimento labial, e projetar as áreas do malar, mento, e contorno facial. Ambos os procedimentos não são invasivos, sendo sua aplicação majoritariamente rápida e os resultados imediatos ou em curto prazo, o que os torna atraentes para quem deseja melhorar a aparência facial de forma não cirúrgica. A popularidade desses procedimentos se deu devido à crescente aceitação da sociedade, além de grande parte da população ser influenciada pela imposição da aparência perfeita pelas mídias atuais e redes sociais. É comum que as pessoas estejam em busca de procedimentos que possam ajudar na sua autoestima e melhora de aparência, porém, o exagero nessa busca pela aparência ideal pode acarretar sérios riscos para a saúde mental e física dos indivíduos, muitas vezes resultando em consequências devastadoras para sua saúde.

Authors: Heise Patricia , Babor Marcos
Published: April 2024

Objetivo: Comparar la efectividad de la anestesia general balanceada y la endovenosa total en el control hemodinámico de los pacientes sometidos a la microcompresión del ganglio de Gasser con balón en la neuralgia del trigémino.
Pacientes y método: Se realiza el análisis retrospectivo de 30 pacientes con diagnóstico de neuralgia esencial del trigémino, de 37 a 82 años y ASA I y II. Los sujetos habían sido distribuidos aleatoriamente en dos grupos: Grupo A, para recibir anestesia general balanceada con isofluorano/fentanilo, y grupo B, anestesia endovenosa total (TIVA, del inglés total intravenous anaesthesia) con propofol/remifentanilo. Se evaluaron las presiones arteriales sistólica, diastólica y media, la frecuencia cardiaca y la oximetría en el estado basal, a la entrada del cavum de Meckel y durante la compresión con el balón. Se emplearon las pruebas t de Student para las variables cuantitativas continuas y x² (chi-cuadrado) para las variables cualitativas.
Resultados: La presión arterial sistólica fue significativamente mayor en el grupo A en los momentos de mayor estímulo. Con el esquema propofol/remifentanilo (en el grupo B) se logró un mejor control hemodinámico y su manejo fue más fácil. La incidencia de bradicardia fue similar en ambos grupos y guardó relación inversa con el uso de atropina previa.
Conclusiones: La anestesia endovenosa total (TIVA) es una atractiva alternativa a la anestesia general balanceada debido a la mejor respuesta hemodinámica y el rápido despertar de los pacientes que ofrece esta técnica. Por otra parte, la atropinización previa al procedimiento es una medida que podría beneficiar a los pacientes.

Authors: Phan Duy Kien , Nguyen Trung Kien , Le Kim Cao , Nguyen Dinh Long Hai , Phan Quoc Hung
Published: April 2024

Overview: The WIfI score was first introduced as an initial assessment, helping to predict the risk of limb amputation, the feasibility, and the benefit of revascularization in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.
Objectives:  Determining the correlation between WIfI score and the outcome of endovascular intervention in the lower limb in chronic ischemia threatening limb stage.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to identify the cases with chronic limb threatening ischemia of the infrainguinal artery occlusion, treated by endovascular intervention at the Department of Vascular Surgery, Cho Ray Hospital from August 2020 to May 2021.
Results: There were 80 patients with 80 limbs that were treated, with mean age of 71.5, male gender accounted for 67.5%. Patients were admitted to the hospital with Rutherford stages 4,5,6 respectively 42.5%, 42.5% and 15%. WIfI stages 1,2,3,4 respectively 6.3%, 46.3%, 23.8%, 23.8%. The technical success rate was 96.3%, the wound healing rate was 79.1%, the primary patency rate was 64.9%, the limb salvage rate was 89.7%, the survival rate was 97.5%. The higher WIfI stage before intervention was associated with lower primary patency and limb salvage rates, statistically significant with p<0.05. There was no correlation between WIfI stage and mortality rate.
Conclusions: The WIfI classification system is very important in chronic limb-threatening ischemia, as it helps to estimate the limb salvage rate, predict the need for revascularization and wound healing.

In this work, we propose an economical, swift, secure, and transparent platform for KYC document verification for the Banking system through InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and blockchain technology. The proposed system allows a customer to open an account at one Bank, complete the KYC process there, and generate a hash value using the IPFS network and share it using the blockchain technique. Upon receiving the private key, any Bank/financial organization can retrieve, store customer data (i.e., KYC) securely using IPFS network if the customer wishes to open another account in that Bank/financial organization. The proposed system can save time, money, and repetitive work during the KYC process when someone tries to open an account at multiple Banks

Making healthy decisions might feel like an uphill fight in a world where there are countless food alternatives and contradicting dietary recommendations. This is particularly true for people dealing with particular health issues, such pregnancy or long-term illnesses, where dietary choices can significantly affect overall health. However, what if there was a method to make the procedure simpler? Imagine having a personal nutritionist always with you, someone who understands your needs intimately and can help you make better decisions with a few smartphone clicks. That's the idea behind our most recent invention, an app meant to completely change the way we think about nutrition. With the use of state-of-the-art technology and the most recent findings in nutritional science, we have developed a tool that gives you access to the power of individualized nutrition. This is how it operates: you begin by providing the app with some personal information, such as your age, height, weight, and any particular health issues you may be aware of. The software uses this data to estimate your daily caloric needs and compute your Body Mass Index (BMI). We don't stop there, though. Based on your individual profile, the app creates a customized list of food suggestions by utilizing a large library of foods and nutritional data

Authors: Sandip Vittal Deshmukh
Published: April 2024

The strength value most desired in any welding process is an excellent Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) of the weld, compared with the parent metal. Process parameters applied during the welding process ought to be subjected to continuous scrutiny and assessment because of the ever increasing demand for structural and industrial materials with weld joints possessing higher strength values. This study is intended to investigate the inadequacies of existing GMAW welding process parameters utilized by the investigated industrial firm in its signature welding protocol, by suggesting alternative, uniquely crafted, and improved process parameters to replace its existing signature welding protocol, thereby improving the weld results by attaining higher UTS. These suggested process parameters were there after subjected to reported literature, following which optimization was achieved by employing the Taguchi Method. Then in future work we will study the strength on universal testing machine and calculating the results

Online health communities continue to offer huge variety of medical information useful for medical practitioners, system administrators and patients alike. In this system we collect real time health posts from reputed websites, where patients express their views, including their experiences and side-effects on drugs used by them. We propose to perform Summarization of user posts per drug, and come out with useful conclusions for medical fraternity as well as patient community at a glance. Further, we propose to classify the users based on their ‘emotional state of mind’. Also, we shall perform knowledge discovery from user posts, whereby useful ‘patterns’ about the triad ‘drugs-symptoms-medicine’ is done by Association Rule Mining. Association rule mining is a popular and widely-known machine learning task. It is used to find out interesting relations between variables in large database. Rules generated by association have two disjoint set of items having form LHS (Left Hand Side) => RHS (Right Hand Side). The rule says that RHS is likely to occur whenever the LHS set occurs.

Published: April 2024

Sustained-release or extended-release tablet formulations are designed to release the active pharmaceutical ingredient at a slower rate and over an extended period compared to conventional immediate-release dosage forms. This controlled drug delivery approach offers several advantages including improved patient compliance, maintenance of therapeutic drug levels, reduced side effects, and protection of drug molecules from degradation. [1,2] Various formulation approaches have been explored for achieving sustained drug release from tablet matrices. This review discusses key formulation aspects like rate-controlling polymers, factors influencing drug release, manufacturing techniques, and recent advances aided by quality-by-design principles and mathematical modeling for optimizing sustained-release profiles.

This cross-over study aimed to explore effects of acute whole-body vibration (WBV) at frequencies of 5–35 Hz on heart rate variability and brain excitability. Thirteen healthy physically active college students randomly completed eight interventions under the following conditions: static upright standing without vibration (CON), static squat exercise (knee flexion 150°) on the vibration platform (SSE), and static squat exercise (knee flexion 150°) combined with WBV at vibration frequency of 5, 9, 13, 20, 25, and 35 Hz. Five bouts × 30 s with a 30-s rest interval were performed for all interventions. The brain’s direct current potentials (DCPs), frequency domain variables (FDV) including normalized low frequency power (nLF), normalized high frequency power (nHF) and the ratio of LF to HF (LF/HF), along with the mean heart rate (MHR) were collected and calculated before and after the WBV intervention. Results suggested that WBV frequency at 5 Hz had a substantial effect on decreasing DCPs [−2.13 μV, t(84) = −3.82, p < 0.05, g = −1.03, large] and nLF [−13%, t(84) = −2.31, p = 0.04, g = −0.62, medium]. By contrast, 20–35 Hz of acute WBV intervention considerably improved DCPs [7.58 μV, t(84) = 4.31, p < 0.05, g = 1.16, large], nLF [17%, t(84) = 2.92, p < 0.05, g = 0.79, large] and the LF/HF [0.51, t(84) = 2.86, p < 0.05, g = 0.77, large]. A strong (r = 0.7, p < 0.01) correlation between DCPs and nLF was found at 5 Hz. In summary, acute WBV at 20–35 Hz principally activated the sympathetic nervous system and increased brain excitability, while 5-Hz WBV activated the parasympathetic nervous system and reduced brain excitability. The frequency spectrum of WBV might be manipulated according to the intervention target on heart rate variability and brain excitability.
