BACKGROUND

Cannabis use has increased among young individuals in recent years. Although dependent cannabis use disorder (CUD) has been associated with various cardiac events, its effects on young adults without concurrent substance use remain understudied.

AIM

To examine trends in hospitalizations for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in this cohort.

METHODS

We used the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2019) to identify hospitalized young individuals (18-44 years), excluding those with concurrent substance usage (tobacco, alcohol, and cocaine). They were divided into CUD+ and CUD-. Using International Classification of Diseases-10 codes, we examined the trends in MACCE hospitalizations, including all-cause mortality (ACM), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), cardiac arrest (CA), and acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

RESULTS

Of 27.4 million hospitalizations among young adults without concurrent substance abuse, 4.2% (1.1 million) had co-existent CUD. In CUD+ group, hospitalization rates for MACCE (1.71% vs 1.35%), AMI (0.86% vs 0.54%), CA (0.27% vs 0.24%), and AIS (0.49% vs 0.35%) were higher than in CUD- group (P < 0.001). However, rate of ACM hospitalizations was lower in CUD+ group (0.30% vs 0.44%). From 2016 to 2019, CUD+ group experienced a relative rise of 5% in MACCE and 20% in AMI hospitalizations, compared to 22% and 36% increases in CUD- group (P < 0.05). The CUD+ group had a 13% relative decrease in ACM hospitalizations, compared to a 10% relative rise in CUD- group (P < 0.05). However, when adjusted for confounders, MACCE odds among CUD+ cohort remain comparable between 2016 and 2019.

CONCLUSION

The CUD+ group had higher rates of MACCE, but the rising trends were more apparent in the CUD- group over time. Interestingly, the CUD+ group had lower ACM rates than the CUD- group.
Maximizing growth without compromising wood density: Selecting superior Norway spruce clones
Authors: Zeltiņš Pauls , Katrevičs Juris , Desaine Iveta , Jansons Āris
Published: September 2024

The study examined a free-growing (initial stand density 400 trees ha–1), 50-year-old grafted clonal Norway spruce plantation in Eastern Latvia to assess the genetic control and variability of growth traits and wood density. The latter was used as a proxy for structural timber strength. Results showed moderately high heritability in growth traits and moderate variability in wood density among clones, with an estimated genetic coefficient of variation CVg, of 8.6%. Even when grown at a very low density on nutrient-rich soil, 85% of the trees met the density requirements for construction timber (C18 in accordance with EN 338). The negative correlation between growth traits and wood density was weak at both individual tree and clonal levels (–0.08 < rP < –0.06; –0.16 < rG < –0.09), making it feasible to select fast-growing clones with wood density required for structural timber. The observed variation underscores the importance of selective breeding to ensure optimal timber quality, with implications for enhancing sawn wood strength grades and promoting climate-resilient forestry practices.

A Novel Method for Spatial Structural Kinematic Analysis
Authors: Pham Van-Son , Nguyen Lanphuong
Published: September 2024

Kinematic analysis is the first task that needs to be solved for further real-life problems such as machine dynamics and durability, machine balancing, and optimization, chemistry, etc. Currently, there are many methods to analyze the kinematic problem, for instance: vector graphics method, vector-analytic method, or Dennavit-Hartenberg-Craig matrix method. Although each method has its advantages, they have mostly encountered difficulties in establishing equations associated with complicated spatial structures. This research proposed a novel method, entitled “'perpendicular projection method” to solve the problem of spatial structural kinematic analysis. This is an approximate solution method that combines the use of generalized coordinates and direction cosine matrices. With this method, the problem of kinematic analysis of spatial structures will be solved simply and easily by establishing connection equations as well as simulating the motion of spatial structures. This method was then applied in conducting the kinematic analysis of a spatial mechanism with 1 rotating joint (R), 1 ball joint (S), 1 translational joint (P), and one cylindrical joint (C). The calculated results, including the velocity, acceleration of generalized coordinates, angular velocity, angular acceleration of the links, velocity, and acceleration of the center of mass of the links, showed the efficiency of the proposed method.

The results showed that speed, leg explosive power, aerobic endurance, and technical skills, increased in both talented and non-talented players by 10.23% and 15.18%, 11.27% and 11.07%, 15.88% and 14.85%, as well as 11.71% and 9.51%, respectively. Based on observations, talented players showed emphasis on dynamic movement, changes in direction, and essential technical skills during the training period. Conversely, non-talented players prioritized speed over other components in football.

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the interplay between psychological traits—Optimism, Pessimism, and Mindfulness—and their collective impact on athletes' performance and well-being. Employing a correlational survey design, this study engages a carefully selected convenience sample comprising 236 athletes from various sporting disciplines, encompassing various educational backgrounds. The sample included 33.1% women and 66.9% men, with a significant portion holding bachelor's degrees. The Athlete Optimism And Pessimism Scale (AOPS) and the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport (MIS) were administered to assess the psychological constructs. Analytical methods included t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlations. Results indicate no gender differences in overall Optimism, Pessimism, and Mindfulness. However, males displayed higher Refocusing abilities. No significant impact of sport type or education level was observed on these psychological traits. Age showed no correlation with the variables. A positive association between Optimism and the Mindfulness subcomponents of Awareness and Refocusing emerged, highlighting Optimism's beneficial role.
In contrast, Pessimism showed negative correlations, suggesting its detrimental effect. The findings underscore the need for tailored psychological interventions that enhance Optimism and Mindfulness while reducing Pessimism. This study contributes to sports psychology by suggesting that individualized interventions are crucial for fostering an athlete's psychological resilience and performance, with the potential for growth and adaptation extending across the lifespan.

This study inquired about Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) research development and impact. The study was conducted using a bibliometric analysis and systematic review. There were 100 top citation research articles published between 2009 to 2023 and selected from SCOPUS research journal databases by using the keywords "Long Term Athlete Development" and “LTAD”. Furthermore, 10 top citation articles were further investigated by systematic review methods. The study outlines the predominance of journal articles as the main conduit for LTAD discourse, with a notable average citation rate underscoring their influence. The United Kingdom (UK) leads in contributions and citations. The geographical distribution showcases the global engagement and diverse perspectives within LTAD research. The examination reveals an initial focus on fundamental sports training and coaching roles, progressively expanding to include practical LTAD applications, demographic, social dynamics, and physiological nuances. This trajectory demonstrates a multidisciplinary approach that integrates several aspects of athlete development. It also emphasizes the need for more thorough longitudinal research to provide empirical support for the principles of LTAD in a variety of cultural and athletic contexts. Even with the breadth of research, empirical, longitudinal studies are still required to confirm the effectiveness of LTAD models in a variety of cultural and sports contexts. The review calls for enhanced international collaboration to further consolidate LTAD research and practice, advocating for a holistic and inclusive understanding of athlete development that integrates gender and social inclusion.

Imbalances in cardiac autonomic nervous systems are associated with cardiovascular risk factors and poor cardiac outcomes. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a practical and reproducible measure of cardiac autonomic nervous system function. Exercise training promotes positive adjustments in HRV. However, previous studies have reported mixed results. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of short-term combined exercise training on heart rate variability in post-menopausal women. Thirty-four women aged 50-80 years, at least 12 months post-menopause, were divided into a control (CON) group and an exercise (EX) training group. The participants in the exercise group underwent a 2-week of combined exercise program consisting of aerobic, strength, flexibility, and balance exercises. HRV was recorded using an Actiheart device, before and after the final exercise intervention in a sitting position. The significant main effects of time and group were found in the parameter of SDNN (p time = 0.039; p group = 0.026). Post-hoc analysis showed a borderline increase in SDNN in the EX group (POST: 48.79 ± 17.88 VS 44.54 ± 17.39, p = 0.055). No significant change was observed in the CON group (POST: 35.55 ± 13.51 VS 33.17 ± 8.74, p = 0.288). Statistical analysis of other HRV components revealed no significant results (all P > 0.05). In conclusion, a 2-week of combined exercise training program, including aerobic, resistance, balance, and flexibility exercises improves global cardiac autonomic function in post-menopausal women.

In this study, the influence of mental well-being on the decision-making styles of basketball referees was examined. This descriptive study was conducted using a screening model. Active field referees within the Turkish Basketball Federation for the 2023-2024 season were included in the study. Due to the ongoing basketball season, the sample was formed using a convenience sampling method. Of the referees participating in the study, 86.4% (n: 342) were male and 13.6% (n: 54) were female. Among these referees, 7.6% were Class A, 14.6% were Class B, 46.7% were Class C, and 31.1% were local referees. The average age of the participating referees was 27.85, with an average refereeing experience of 7.77 years. For data collection, a personal information form, the "Melbourne Decision Making Scale" adapted to Turkish by Deniz (2004), and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) developed by Keldal (2015), were utilized. Data analysis involved using t-tests for pairwise comparisons, Pearson's correlation coefficient for determining relationships between variables, and multiple linear regression. The study found no significant difference between referees' genders regarding decision-making styles and mental well-being. A positive and significant relationship was found between referees' age and experience with self-respect in decision-making and mental well-being. A negative relationship was observed between the referees' age and experience with buck-pasing, procrastination, and hypervigilance. There was a positive and significant relationship between basketball referees' levels of mental well-being, self-respect, and vigilant. A negative and significant relationship was found between mental well-being and avoidant, procrastinating, and panic decision-making styles. This suggests a strong relationship between mental well-being and decision-making styles.

Judo is an Olympic combat sport that is divided into male and female weight categories. Each weight category implies significant differences in technical and strategic dimensions, as well as physiological, performance, and body composition among competitors. This study aimed to determine the technical actions predominance used by judokas in the European Judo Championship 2021. We observed 398 judo combats, in the various weight categories male and female, disputed in the European Judo Championship 2021. It was used an observation system in accordance with the classification of judo techniques proposed by Kodokan. An observation system was used according to the Kodokan classification of judo techniques. In Nage-Waza combat, there was a predominance leg technique (Ashi-Waza), arm technique (Te-Waza), hip technique (Koshi-Waza), side sacrifice techniques (Yoko-Sutemi-Waza) and frontal sacrifice techniques (Ma-Sutemi-Waza). When we focused our observation on the effectiveness of applied techniques, we observed more techniques scored with Ippon than Wazari. We can also observe that Shido was the significantly more recurrent punishment during male combats.
